The theme of Pro Tour Fate Reforged is the aggro decks attacking very aggressively and the control deck desperately trying to stave off lethal

that's just MTG in a nutshell
@alexhill2495 Жыл бұрын
but that is certainly not the theme of this PT. The theme of PT Fate Reforged is "can I combo off before this aggro deck kills me?" or "can I combo off before my opponent combos off?"

I'm happy to know my idea wasn't ignored. Wild defiance in infect is stupid good.

Lol Wild Defiance in Infect is extremely unlikely your idea... that card has been around Infect decks for quite some time now, since its release
@alanbean42439 жыл бұрын
MrGarruk123 No, I had it when the Innistrad block was around. That is what I am saying. I've been using it since Wild Defiance was released. What I really mean to say is that I'm happy it's getting the spotlight it deserves. Wild Defiance, IMO, went largely overlooked in all of the circles of Modern that I am connected to.

In game 2 against Abzan, couldn't Nakamura have flashed in Snappy in response to the tec edge activation and bolted the token before he lost his red source? It leaves thoughtseize with less options and prevents you from having to path your own wall for land. You get board advantage.

As a control player, the card I feared the most from the other side of the table is Liliana of the Veil. Shuhei's decision to let his opponent thoughtseize his hand I think was right and hope he can use restoration angel to start to trade. Voice of Resurgence is also VERY hard to play around. I think if Shuhei knew his opponent's decklist, this might have been a very different game
@kyleray64508 жыл бұрын
kentaro isn't playing Liliana though
@alanyuan85658 жыл бұрын
What I'm saying is, I find some of shuhei' plays questionable. The way Jeskai can win against abzan is to use cryptic to counter draw, restoration angel, get it pathed because you care about lands and get a 2 for 1. I mean, letting his opponent repeatedly thoughtseizes him is a bad play in my opinion, unless he is trying his best to play around a possible liliana (which almost every abzan list runs) Since Shuhei does not know about this and his opponent plays voice of resurgence, it makes this matchup just awful for the Jeskai control player. I'm willing to believe if he knows about the Lilliana, this game would be a bit better(but not by much)
@kyleray64508 жыл бұрын
Abzan already trumps control by offering the same idea of two for ones but early in the game due to mana acceleration as well as ways to slow the opponent. Rng also played a big part of this game but i personally believe that control just has a bad matchup against abzan seeing as control uses card advantage to win and abzan plays a decent amount of hand attack with or without Liliana.
@alanyuan85658 жыл бұрын
If I'm not mistaken, shuhei does have 2 copies of eslpeth in his sideboard. That would be huge
@kyleray64508 жыл бұрын
Elspeth is a one of in his sideboard. Since he has trouble controlling the game to begin with getting the single copy out of his deck is hard enough. She also has a cmc of 6 which is really slow for a match against abzan.

Why not counter and kill a token instead of just letting cryptic being discarded?
@HopefulAgnostic5 жыл бұрын
bc it would have the exact same effect as it just being taken and would prevent the dmg taken from thoughtseize, if he counter bounced Kentaro would just activate stirring wildwoods and attack with it

Amulet is perhaps the hardest deck to play in modern. Get real. Jeskai control is a total joke. Never seen a game where the "control" deck was not substantially behind on resources.

TheGosu Why Mana Leak a Thoughtseize if you know that Tarmagoryf will come down next turn? Remember, you have to diversify your counterspells accordingly.

Pod is Pod, and BGx is a deck with hand disruption.
