Jimmy and crim pulled a nice sequence of plays at the end, but Josh only lost because of his greed. And also because of a simple deckbuilding mistake, a single copy of og ulamog or kozilek would make his engines run forever and be inmune to mill.

45:08 Josh is completely right here. if you know someone has Cyclonic rift or a counterspell in their hand, force them to use it. this is why, I always agressively attack the person that has answers in their hand that I know about. they think that if they say "I wouldn' attack me, I have cyclonic rit in my hand", I will attack someone else, no, I will attack you and force you to use it, because every time I don't, it's like one extra use of it you get for free.

@Unforgiven11 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah I liked that he casually dropped that little morsel of information. So many times people play too carefully around someone with big counters. Gotta start just kamikaze-ing them asap so they dont keep increasing value each turn

@gothkrix 4 жыл бұрын

@@Unforgiven11 Yep, as a Talrand player that's true. If my opponents start coming at me without fear of counterspells and bounces, eventually my juice will run out and they "win by exhaustion" before I am able to really lock down the table for good. So yes, going with no fear is the best option when you know the control player has something in his hand, instead of avoiding it allowing just for the control player to keep stacking more control in his hand, while controling without doing anything just by people avoiding him.

@TheRealSarceus 4 жыл бұрын

Yup, the best strategy to adopt in these cases is "don't negotiate with terrorists." My Ur-Dragon deck is especially good at this; every creature is such a powerful threat that no amount of counterspells will ever be enough to hold it down for long.

@gon.042 4 жыл бұрын

I think it's just that Jimmy and Crim didn't really have anything at that point. So it was Ashlen trying to deal with Josh by herself and getting overwhelmed by Josh's great start (the amount of card and mana pool advantage was a bit insane).
