+MrVardARIS Tamada definitely went YOLO roflmao

Loved his interview where he said he just wanted to be home w his wife. Played flawlessly entire T8 and battled through despite the ridiculous amount of mulligans. May you RIP.

+Slam-Dunk Cosmos the japanese are known for this sorta thing eh, they practiced this in secret until they fainted

+Slam-Dunk Cosmos ROBOTS

+raitosureya01 the duals ? i think they play a huuge role in the current standard

XHeadhunter66 as a generalization, the dual lands/fetches/ shocks, etc. are a staple in any multicolor deck. the enemy colored manlands did help but they made up a small part of the deck compared to the khans block portion of the deck.

+raitosureya01 I think the point was that a huge huge impact that BFZ has was introducing these fetchable lands which allowed for all these insane multi-color decks. If this was still khans block you couldn't get away with playing jeskai charm and crackling doom in the same deck.

+Royal Tarts you mean the bfz dual lands or whatever?

Previous sets always make up the bulk of pro tour decks. More time played, synergies developed, etc, etc.

I bet you comment on the Pro Tour Gatecrash Finals and go "Why the fuck is it Mardu vs. Jeskai?! THATS A FUNNY LOOKING GATECRASH"

@@rylon30 😐

My fave one is the Tamada vs Finkel match!

+Joe Nitrate lol are u stupid abzan won 2 pro tours including this one. rdw won 2.

+Joe Nitrate thank goodness rdw didnt win again :P

+devilboy561 RDW?

instinctz1 red deck wins

+Joe Nitrate I think this is fine, because maybe, just maybe, jace will stop being 80 dollars. Maybe.

+vantha doun bet he regretted that REAL HARD

Phage Highspirits that strategy is always in the top 8 that’s why mushashi is so good

Good spoiler alert

Jund(better removal, competitive worthiness) >Abzan

is this decklist still viable in standard?

+justin emery Yes, standard has from Dragons of Tarkir to SOI. No need to thank me😎

+Jenn Koh oops not the whole deck...

YES! No more SIEGE RHINO!

+TheFreddyEvilGaming Show fuck its another year

+TheFreddyEvilGaming Show But i like siege rhino :(

+Zac Chandler who doesn't? It's just value

+Vulcan Hades I agree lol! By the time Siege Rhino rotates out, Jace flipwalker could be the next haha

+MrHeenock More like why the fuck Japanese players are using Ultra Pro when they have so many better options...

+PraetorGix Kmc were made in Japan are they not? Best sleeves on the market, And using chinese made sleeves instead? Weird

+CommanderSh!mi X Sponsors !?

Right? Biggest rival in my local meta since forever it seems.

+John Cummings Splashed for it in my Mardu deck, and it is that good XD

The only reason why I have 4 disdainful stroke in every one of my decks. Im that mentally scarred because of him....

CommanderSh!mi X Disdainful Stroke and Roast share the work in my new Standard deck

+ViralPlume Great reply guy! Keep it up!

+Drew Stassel It's sports commentary- their job is to say things that are obvious and/or doesn't mean anything so you feel like you know more about what's going on. It's at least helpful when you can't see the cards clearly.

+Patricio Ramos Negrete Look for the playlists, go to the channel directly.The finals are in a seperate section so no spoilers.

+Eyeforaneye While i understand your frustration, you're technically incorrect. Shambling vents and the BFZ dual lands, and dragon master Outcast also showed up as well.

+Eyeforaneye There were a few more... mostly in sideboards... yeah, so much for BFZ slowing down the format. Apparently nobody even feels like it's worth trying to run a control deck with the new cards to build up mana for eldrazi.

+Krangbot "It's not a purse, it's a satchel" -Dude from Hangover referencing Indiana Jones

so people do it at bigger tournaments so they dont get stuff stolen. its just habit.

There is no h

Yolo

If he were to mulligan again, a 5 card hand against a 7 card abzan hand would have ended with game loss as well sadly.

+CommanderSh!mi X but may have had better chances than top decking lands and falling behind in turns and power

Dromoka's Command the Token, and Anafenza giving herself the counter to become a 4/4 and kill Gideon.

+Kai Jobin because these lands can search for battlelands.

Because BFZ is underpowered and the whole set folds to 4 Siege Rhinos.

X is treated as zero while it's not on the stack, and when it is, X is the mana spent to cast it, in this case 4 and thus valid for Disfainful Stroke

blue give you access to whirler rogue which can make your attacks with nantuko husk more lethal also one of the cards i would like to try is fathom feeder and ingest into blight herder maybe splash green for collected company? idk maybe ill try sultai arsicrats or a grinder blue black control also one card that i dont think has been given credit is grave purge with our sac effect we can get alot of value from that card

Carlos C thanks i just hope on game day we i can trade in for thoughs cards i need

+BillyBobJetFish Its main weakness is the lack of siege Rhino

You should also try mardu aristocrats, its similar but with creatures like Butcher of the horde and Alesha who smiles at death. The lack of collected company and counter spells is a major hit but the beatdowns and combos are beautiful in my opinion.

+xRESIDENTEVILSTARSx Speedy Gonzales dark blue.

thanks, is their a website for them? in US dollars?

X spells don't quite work that way, the CMC on the stack is equal to the mana spent to cast it, in this case 4.

+Michael Gualteros i think that on the stack it's cmc might be whatever was payed for x but im not sure

+PrestonDLuffy I guess they expect you to watch live and just watch here for replays?

+PrestonDLuffy It's easier for people to go back find certain matches..

Conversely, battle for zendikar lands make up most of the top 8 basic land bases.

Online, local gamestore

one could argument that mulling to 5 against a 7 card hand from abzan is very close to a game loss. he just put everything into drawing his lands early

+Andrew Carranza Agreed, the announcers were stunned that he decided to put so much risk into topdecking a land. it was a very risky move. I cant believe he decided to keep a No lands hands.... still stunned at that 4th game.

no one cares lol

+Hank Carver why? its black.

You're correct. Forgot that it states its a black and white creature.

why not? it's impressive in its own way...

+dingding12321 let me guess, you play control

+Joey arce its boring its not fun to win that way or lose its a game if you not having fun your doing it wrong

Shame man they recently rotated out of standard #badbeats

+Crimson Dragon I know. I ended up putting it together about 6-7 weeks before it rotated out. I have all the fetches and everything now and I don't play modern so.. lol. I've got a few grand worth of cards that I dunno what to do with

Play modern?

in your hand cmc is x=0. but if you cast it x becomes however much you paid

interesting, thank you

eu heuheuehe

Got until April to go yet! enjoy rhinos for another two months ;)

+The Suave Lion Goddamnit Woc! Im almost about to give up mtg if the fetch lands don't get reduced in price. Especially the Zendikar fetch lands!

That's not true. Admittedly, super budget players are less successful but money isn't always the deciding factor. You see the same thing because it's popular and it works.

I hope you're being sarcastic.. you can try modern with that deck but good luck.

+Darian Mero why wont it work in this?

Oh wait M15 has rotated out so ensouls nolonger viable :) now i understand. Meh its still a good deck. Im sure itd be fine in modern unless parts pf it are banned.

yup.
