That game 1, holy shit.

This is probably one of my favorite modern matches ever, the games are just so great.

I really like video quality and these high FPS cameras. Thanks!

The mutagenic Growth on the Eidolon was just STUPID

"Game 3, Shahar missed an Eidolon of the Great Revel trigger and I ended up at two life." I felt this was the case before reading Chapin's report, but didn't want to say anything without knowing for sure. It isn't Chapin's job to remember the trigger, it's Shenhar's.

Great games. Please don't let Rashad Miller near a microphone in the future.

Stupid Mutagenic growth mistake in game 3 at 37:25! Also Shahar missed an Eidolon trigger, which could of won him game 3 regardless of that mistake. This is the Play from Game 3 below. Shahar casts Eidolon at 35:25 passes. Patrick casts Swiftspear going from 13 to 11 passes. Shahar draws does nothing then pases, end of Shahars turn Patrick casts Thoughtscour going from 11 to 9. Patrick Lightning Bolts the Eidolon, going from 9 to 7. Shahar saves Eidolon with Mutagenic Growth going from 8 to 4, then Patrick passes with a blue mana up and Spell Pierce in hand. Shahar casts Treasure Cruise with 2 mana up for Spell Pierce. Shahar then plays Scalding Tarn (fetch land), his hand is now Searing Blaze, Boros Charm, Goblin Guide. Shahar passes and Patrick should be at 7. Patrick casts Pyromancer tapping out and going from 7 to 5 (theoretically) then passes, Shahar then deciding if he should crack his Scalding Tarn he does not. Sharhar at 4 life draws Rift Bolt . Now because he forgot a trigger Patrick is at 7 not 5 so he chooses not to attack and passes Patrick wins the following turn, Shahar unable to respond because of Eidolon. However if he did not forget the trigger and Patrick tapped out to play the Pyromancer going to 5, then Shahar can attack into the Swiftspear and the Pyromancer with his Eidolon. This has 3 outcomes. 1. No Blocks. Patrick goes from 5 to 3. Shahar cracks his fetch land going from 4 to 3. He then casts Searing Blaze going from 3 to 1. However Patrick goes from 3 to 0. Shahar wins. 2. Chump block with Swiftspear. Swiftspear dies. Shahar cracks his fetch land going from 4 to 3. He then casts Searing Blaze going from 3 to 1, targeting the remaining Pyromancer it dies and Patrick goes from 5 to 2. Patrick can no longer cast spells he is locked out of the game by Eidolon. Shahar wins. 3.Trade with Pyromancer. Eidolon dies, Shahar free to cast multiple spells. He cracks his fetch land going from 4 to 3, searches for Sacred Foundry untapped going from 3 to 1. Now he casts both Boros Charm and Searing Blaze for 7 Damage. Patrick goes from 5 to 0. Shahar wins. If Shahar had not missed a trigger and play continued as per the video Shahar would have won!

I really like how this is filmed...looks great. :)

two things, Wizards: 1) Streamline your commentary. It deserves to be much better. 2) stop showing anything but the board. I'm so, so, *so* sick of looking at the players while they're playing. I don't watch the Pro Tour to look at the player's faces, *especially* when they're playing cards that change the boardstate.

Please never allow rashad Miller to do commentary.

No more of rashads breathing please

simon gortzen is my new fave commentator, hes amazing

Best game i've ever seen

How does Rashad Miller have a job commentating on Magic??

If SCG covered these events the commentary would be the best it could possible be, I do like simon gortzen though he seems very level headed and knowledgeable. It makes me wonder though, did they put Rashad just to compensate the new players that might be watching? SCG FOREVER

Go Chapin!

Everyone's talking about Rishad Miller giving bad commentary but no one is mentioning that Shahar missed an eidolon trigger that was the game in game 3.

Am I the only one who noticed a missed trigger in the 3rd game? At 36-> Shahar played Eidolon and Chapin casted Swiftspear on the next turn. However he did not take 2 dmg, he only took 2 dmg from the Thought Scour. Which would have changed the outcome of this game if you watched it to the end. Shahar should have won that. Just saying.

R.i.p cruise delver decks

Game 1 shows exactly why I'm not a huge fan of Treasure Cruise in Burn decks. I still think that a Black splash for Bump in the Night is usually better. Yes, sure, Treasure Cruise is a stronger card in a vaccum, but "my opponent was almost dead but I drew a Cruise instead of another burn spell" happens sooo often.

As a Yugioh player who doesn't really know a lot of the cards in Magic, I think this is very interesting to watch.

I feel like the play is to Searing Blaze the Swiftspear when you play the Scalding Tarn game 3, this brings Chapin to 4 and yourself to 2 - next turn Chapin plays the Pyromancer and he is forced to trade with Eidolon - then either a burn spell or Goblin guide is Lethal

I want More Cedric Philips commentary

anyone has chapin's list? I hope he still play some exotic cards :D

Remember “blink the pod”, anyone?

Chapin stole the Eidolon at the end of games 3?

@41:15 regardless of whether Patrick missed any Eidolon triggers, i think Shahar should've attacked with the Eidolon there. If Patrick blocks, he trades a creature and frees his own spells. If Patrick doesn't block, he can get landfall and searing blaze a creature ( i suppose swiftspear) and then suspend a riftbolt killing Patrick on the next time. Sure he would be at 3 and die will to bolt, but i think that's the only line of play that makes saving his eidolon logical (*which is he wants to attack in for 2 points or trade)

Lol, the expression on sam's face at 57:45, he seems really unhappy to pass his deck to josh haha^^

I cant even watch the think i keep getting an error

At 45:59 did Chapin take shenhar’s eidolon?

that first game tho

e dando dicas

What a time Treasure Cruise in a U/R Delver Deck what a absurd Powerlevel.

3:07 patrick's hands are shaking from shahar's board state

Is this modern or standard rules?

that game 3 Shahar should of cast the second eidolon.

JESUS, look at Patricks hands *shacking*

Leeroy Jenkinsssss

why is chaping shaking so much

Shahar Shenhar vs. Patrick Shakin

I just don't understand why boros charm has anything to doing with lifelink

this is so sad

rashad miller now has the title of worst mtg commentator ever

@41:00 shahar might got a change if he attacked

Last turn Shenhar game 3, couldn't he fetch basic white > Blaze Chapin and own Eidolon > Boros Charm? He'd lost 3 and deal 7 to Chapin

This game is really awesome. It's almost impossible to reach their level.

Chapin was trembling in fear compared to Shahar!

rashad miller is the worst commentator they have, bring me back randy buehler!!!!

why do we always have one commentator who is clueless about MtG and another who knows his/her shit? please just skip the clueless commentator.

??????????????????

Rashard miller stop commentating pls

did he run the lehman brothers?

I have no idea what's going on. Is this a Pokemon tourney?

unless your remove.. cards... graveyard...................... 'delve'.

to many camera angles. Boardstate is the main focus. Not the nerds playing lol.

Yay Rashad ruining more coverage with his bumbling incoherent commentary! FFS seriously how did he get his job?

I'll never understand why people play Eidolon. I've had it played against me like 3 times in standard & I won every time & when these annoying burn decks don't play it they usually beat me. Game 3 was a classic example of how this card just blows up in your face.

noobz

Chapin always shakes... shakiest player in MTG

Champinship. luls

That voice is so annoying!

Eh....two pros, modern, and they both netdeck the most braindead two decks. Give us some Legacy PTs/WCs.
