Y'all gettin rowdy out there in the wild? Get it together! :lol

I think it might be because I mentioned Hearthstone a couple of times there.

During VSL the running joke was what efro would do when his opponent can't concede to him.

So you're one of those...

No, I was just trying to discuss with someone what aspects of Hearthstone they could take for the new MTGO (solo adventures with prizes and arena).

Seasons Past is a ridiculous buyout because the card can't be more than a 3x at best.

I was shaky on 1. It's not like the 2nd one is very good.

 

[f0rk]

nvm

Finkel is playing it with Dark Petition so he can loop them, if the game goes long the engine is insane.

Is he playing Mindwracks and Gather the Pack or something? I didn't see his list but your graveyard gets pretty cleaned up by the first Season's Past.

Ever After and Den Pro + Pulse are more consistent loops, I'm just not seeing it.

edit: Now Crush of Tentacles off Dark Petition is what I want to see.

I know he's playing duresses and nissa's renewal main, but I wasn't around to see the match so I don't know the deck.

 

[kirblar]

One nice thing about Wheel of Sun and Moon - it's only a 2x, mayyyyyybe a 3x in any deck that wants it in the board. ( I think a diversified option is probably better than the third most of the time tho.)

He wasn't using Past in some sort of graveyard value shell, he's playing a lot of control and repeatedly fetching back a full grip of removal. Flip Nissa, manlands and a ton of control/removal are what I remember seeing. He'd clear the board, attack with Hissing Wastes and then Seasons Past when he needed to clear the board again.

 

[El Topo]

That was just disgusting.

 

[GregLombardi]

Holy crap @ LSV's draw there. Flawless.

 

[A Serious Man]

Westvale is too sexy.

 

["God's Beard!"]

It just seems like the past 4 or 5 Pro Tours team CFB has the coolest deck on camera. Rabble Red, UR Artifacts, Esper Dragons, colorless Eldrazi.

Whereas the Pantheon always has some super clean midrange deck. Bw Devotion, Jeskai Black. Really shows off the personalities of the two teams.

 

[traveler]

Can't see coverage.

What's he playing?

 

[Crocodile]

LSV casts Collected Company

Stream freezes

I refresh and they've moved on to a new match

 

[El Topo]

Can we get rid of CoCo already?

 

["God's Beard!"]

Can't see coverage.

What's he playing?

GB Aristocrats, won off turn 5 ormendal sacking his team to cutthroat.

Then a second turn 5 kill off nantuko husk + 3 cutthroats.

 

[El Topo]

Damn. Three Cutthroats.

 

[GregLombardi]

Christ almighty cutthroat is an absolute all star.

 

[Crocodile]

GB Aristocrats is fucking sick. Aristocrat decks in general seem to always be sick. I t feels WOTC has made a concerted effort to make that a mainstay of most Standard environments for several years running now.

 

[A Serious Man]

Yeah, this Aristocrats build is fire. Basically merged Aristocrats with the G/B Go Wide deck that popped up early in SOI.

 

[kirblar]

If you can find 3.50 Crypoliths, get em.

 

["God's Beard!"]

My boy Brad Nelson showing up with the sick stuff. Goggles in a ramp deck? I didn't even consider it lol

 

[OnPoint]

Is Aristocrats going to unseat Company?

Or is it running Company...

 

[WanderingWind]

I love how when they panned over to Brad Nelson's game, you know exactly which player he was, even though they didn't show names or faces for like a minute.

Yup, most Brad Nelson deck ever. What else would you expect from the creator of 4c Midrange and Gw Devotion? Dude loves his ramp spells.

 

[El Topo]

Almost everyone seems to be running CoCo, including the GB Aristocrats deck.

"It looks like Nahiri is going upstairs. Also to 20 bucks a pop"

 

[G.ZZZ]

Nahiri was always super good but she had to find a deck. I've been impressed by her in legacy.

I'm trying to figure out what she'd be good against in Legacy and I'm coming up Blank. ...I guess she kills Counterbalance?

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Bant hasn't been doing incredibly well on camera, has it?

EDIT: lol at the timing of that cutaway

 

[Santiako]

That Mardu control deck is sweet. Love me some Mardu.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Let's go Brad!

Of course not. Playing the best deck from a week before the Pro Tour is a classic losing strategy.

 

[f0rk]

Randy did that deck tech like he was on coke or something

 

[divisionbyzorro]

They need to tell Randy to stop referencing decades old cards on camera lol.

No. That makes me feel younger.

The stream seems to be having a lot of trouble.

youtube is fine

It looks like Filipe had Lightning Axe + Fall of the Titans in his hand? He could have killed Avacyn, the knight token and gideon all at once?

Instead he uses his sweeper for one creature and a token and lets gideon attack him.

 

[kirblar]

I don't understand how people thought playing Esper Control was in any way a good idea.

These misplays bruh

I chalk it up to people forgetting how fall works

 

[A Serious Man]

THAT AVACYN THO

 

[Infinite Stars]

That Avacyn save was just amazing, Inspector Gadget doing real work in decks.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

No kidding. It seems to me like you're just hoping you draw each round if you're playing that deck.

 

[Yeef]

That Avacyn top deck was amazing, but also sort of heartbreaking. Calcano had to put in so much work to stabilize and turn things around and then just when it looked like he'd done it; NOPE.

 

[kirblar]

Who's Inspector Gadget?

Edit: oh duh, but who nicknames a common?

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Who's Inspector Gadget?

I assume he's referring to Thraben Inspector. Muller cycled through two of them in a row at one point.

 

[OnPoint]

Will Nahiri spike? Please?
