But then they wouldn't be able to get away with as much cheating.

The Relic was tapped at the time. Watch from around 41:30. When the camera zooms out at 42:15, they've gone to the next turn.

Ahhhhh i didn't get too see him untag due to the camera not showing it so that confused me as to where they were in the turn cycle. Thanks!

Don’t worry it’s back for regular paper pro tours. Unfortunately wotc has shredded competitive mtg so I’d trade for how it was 7 years ago in a heartbeat.

weesh ful can't help but remember that episode of futurama where bender had a nightmare and thought he saw a 2 :P

I know, right? - Having a car name such as McLaren is so weird.

he has a dick man. lololololololololoolololololololololololoooooolol

I hear that, my Selesnya deck has pink sleeves at the moment and I'm sporting a Mentor of Heroes and a Goldmane in there.

I have a casual deck to play against my less serious friends, and it is a pink sleeved mono black two power 1 drops with scary art. Thats the name of the deck. I also have pink sleeved Sultai constelation.

I know I mean after the match when they talked about the game. Up to the point that Zach had to point out that Shaun won.

I don’t really like how Patrick boarded post board. I would have left 1-2 in + shaved 2 bolts

The reason I'm suggesting this now is because McLaren is somewhat tapped out.

mdt2189 I don't pretend to follow all the intricacies but the first level argument for waiting is the pure value of using instants on the other player's turn. Even if they have more mana available for the fight it's mana they can't use for threats or proactive plays and mana that is then tapped out for your next turn.

There was a lot of pros and cons on doing that... Anyway, at that point, Dickmann had to choose, and if he had done that play, cryptic to bounce and fight for it when countered, he was going to be tapped, and next turn he was open to get 8 from Colonnade and Mage.... And that's one more reason to pass the turn all untapped, he still could use cryptic to counter and/or bounce any spell, respond to Colonnade activation, etc, etc.. One way or another he would take damage, but passing the turn he gain the possibility to avoid that in a lot of possible ways, multiple possibilities of turning the game, instead of going to 2 life for certain if he had been tapped just for bounce Ooze... This is, obviously only my point of view... He had chosen the possibility to have the cryptic for bouncing/countering/tap all, and still mana to fight for it if countered, instead of just using it for bounce the ooze and get certain damage next turn!... (what happened anyway, as we know) ;)

+Jádson L He would have taken 4 damage from the ooze and 2 from snapcaster mage, plus 3 from helix = 9

+DuckDoesQuack Not a lot of girls play magic at the professional level.

360p - Move on up!

Andriy Law he wouldnt have gotten to... heres how that scenario plays out. dickman plays snapcaster mage, targets probe. in response to target, mclaren fetches off of mesa and pays one mana to activate relic of progenitus's second ability, which exiles all cards from both plays graveyard and draw him a card. he then untaps and casts electrolyze... so instead Mclaren gets a 3 for 2. instead he passes, hoping Mclaren casts a spell that he could remand to play a card.

It's okay to do it because he's going to shuffle afterwards. It's also one-hundred percent useless. There are some rules that define how to properly shuffle so that you completely randomize the order of the cards undoing any "stacks" that might have been left in the deck, and he's following them.

juptor I see. Thanks. Guess I should find those rules and read them :)

No you don't. That's what Judges are for. !!!!JUUUUUUDGE!!!!!!!!

It´s the third or fourth (pretty sure third) pro tour that is not standard but modern.

In every block that has 3 releases, there are 3 Pro Tours. Similar to the Return to Ravnica Block, each Pro Tour will be different, between Standard, Modern, and Block Constructed (only cards from the most recent block)

ah ok thanks a lot. did that happen with rtr block as well?

Actually it says "Search your library for a forest or island card..." Juptor already correctly addressed your question at hand though.

then there is no creatures in the graveyard so tarmogoyf loses 1 point of power and toughness

Actually the word binary only means that the number system 'has two values'. We chose 0 and 1 for practical reasons but there's no reason that it couldn't be 1 and 2 instead.

Fair point! :-) Although I'm fairly confident he was referring to an electric lock so it would probably would have been binary as we know and love it today :-P

It´s not always slow, it depends mostly on the players, some control players are really aggressive bold and fast in their choices from the start of the game and interact constantly, Ben stark is a great example when he plays UWR, though these are exceptions. As an aggro player I get what you are saying, yet you should check the finals of this protour, Uwr, against brithing pod is an intense match. Pod basically goes on the beatdown plan and control has to react fast to it.

watch stanislav cifka play control.

arn't all control decks slow

Even Hansen *solitaire. Lol.

and dickmann gets a fetchland the 2 turns later, that woulda been a mistake then i suppose

yeah, decided to watch some older modern pro tours after the last one and the vibe is just great.
