LOL I said the same shit

Indeed. Standard up until Innistrad block is just the zenith of MTG standard-format for me. I see a field balance of aggro, midrange, tempo, control.

This was the perfect standard format. Every strategy was viable. Every color combo was viable. Powerful things to do everywhere. This is my gold standard.

Since you’ve commented this they’ve released such great standard blocks as

Was so confused lol

A lot of the time it’s like a lot of the commentators don’t have knowledge of the game itself.. it’s still like this but worse now. I do miss good in person magic though

Reid plays Abzan, not Jund.

CCBM Oh, really? Because as recently as this past week he played Jund on the Team Modern Super League

Cameron Worley He's typically known for playing Junk/Abzan though even when the meta doesn't support it. Look at the most recent Modern pro tour for example.

Bruh don't you mean sticking to his "junds" lmao

+Andrea Mazzucchelli yeahh the card he topdecked is not the Moorland its accutally Kessig Wolf Run :) THAT the detail haha

Holy shit makes sense now

Lmaoo that makes much more sense than Moorland Haunt

Its impossible to both read every card (front and back) as well as commentate from a theory point of view. They have some of the cards appear on the side when they can, but there just isnt time to show them all. When pros play magic they can play their entire turn in a handful of seconds

Meurth commentators expect those watching to have a general understanding of the cards in standard at the time. this video is several years old.

They didn't make the video especially for you. The commentors cannot explain every single card while offering actually insightful commentary. The games are far too fast for that.

What an arrogant comment, Whiskerbro. By me you mean every single MTG player that doesn't know each card they use by heart, which makes up a huge majority. They could've quickly showed each card when it's played, so that if needed, people can pause the video to read the card or google its title. You understand that not everyone is such a die hard player as you, right?

Meurth that wasn't arrogant, it was a simple explanation for why they cant cover every card. Most of the cards they played are pretty well known anyway, and wizards event coverage is designed for people who are semi competetive, or have an understanding of the standard format. This just happens to be an old video.
