Scrolled down just to see if anyone else spotted that. No idea what the rest of that turn should have been but fulminator on his own swamp seemed like a good start.

@holypriests12 6 жыл бұрын

Hmm, it looks like a better line @ 2:47:40 would be to play Dark Confidant, play the verdant catacombs instead of the raging ravine. This would leave up Kolaghan's Command mana. When his opponent attacks, Reid can sac the Fulminator to kill his Overgrown Tomb, block a Street Wraith with Blood Braid Elf. At the end of turn, Kolaghan's Command the damaged Street Wraith, getting back Blood Braid Elf. This line at least gets another Cascade trigger to find a Maelstrom or a removal for the other creatures. However, if Reids opponent finds another cascade card, Reid would be in the same position he's in now.

Yep, I saw the same line... but he lost the concentration after the small mistake with the Fulminator. Anyway thanks for the great content Reid.

Would it have been worthwhile to blow up your Overgrown Tomb (only Swamp) with Fulminator in the face of the Street Wraiths? Maybe not with the blockers available, but it's tempting to turn of the Swampwalk.

@HelplessHeroes 6 жыл бұрын

At 2:48:50 I could see, k command the spirit guide (with discard or rebuy fulminator after this next bit) first then liliana to make them sac the horror, fulminator your own overgrown tomb (only swamp) and double block one of the wraiths going to 1 after the catacomb fetch for a basic forest. then you are still on top deck hope mode

He still is just seen more analyzing and observing.. Which is also a good thing.

Then have bob and BBE to double block one of the remaining 2 creatures; go to your turn 7 with Fulminator in hand, possibly lili in game and a Ravine with mana in play.

You played so well, the whole tournament. Then the misplay with the Fulminator Mage, followed almost immediately by the misplay with the Thoughtseize, (don't cast it!) followed by no sac on the Overgrown Tomb? That made the Magic Baby Jesus cry... Still, 7-1 up until that point, and Living End is a notoriously difficult deck to play against. Glad I got to see all that.

spending a card to slightly inconvenience your opponent is not where you want to be. Every card in reid's deck needs to counteract at least 1 lightning bolt or advance his game plan in some way.

@hollowhughes198 6 жыл бұрын

Reid do you think 4 bolts is overkill now? Perhaps a 2 push 3 bolt split. And I saw the dreadbore in the main. Wondering how you like it over a second terminate seeing as your running 2 maelstrom pulse.

@pytawidmo 6 жыл бұрын

I believe it's about making bad match-ups better for the lowest cost, and worst case scenario Bolt can go directly at your opponent if they have no creatures, while Push would be a dead card. Also, there is now a lot of creatures not answered by the Push, while Bolt can at least be used as a combat trick to get a trade. I also like Dreadbore instead of 2nd Terminate, since Jund is often played sorcery speed anw, and Teferi or Karn answered for just 2 mana feels good.
