  • SPOILER-

    Couldn't josh have won at the 1hr, 25Min mark if he had cracked his fetch lands, path to exiled the spellskite, then lightning bolted him twice??

  • @TheAspiringOne He cant crack his fetch lands because blood moon makes them mountains, he has no way to generate white mana to path

  • @nedwardgnap AH, wow, duh.. I'm so dumb, lol. Thanks!

  • WIZARDS FIX THE SOUND, ITS LIKE THEIR WHISPERING

  • to be honest i understand the ticks and movement and shuffling and long turns i mean its finals at pro tour its not fnm you gotta think of everyhting and anything or else you lose.

  • 11;11 YOU WELCOME

  • 11:52 is Samuele itching himself? o_O

  • Stop shuffling your freakin hand so I can see what you have, god damn.

  • @mikeback42 I do agree with you on that but by him saying it wasn't true magic I just wanted to state a point and I believe that modern was ment to be a combo deck format and zoo just was fast enought to keep up with some of the crazy fast combo decks where control just cant keep board control long enough to win

  • @Lightmane321 Wizards wanted modern to be a combo format so any infinite combo is exactly what wizards wanted as long as a combo didn't win you the game before turn 4 every game. So actually that is magic.

  • @bsmith0430 i think we are all correct. i mean some ppl like the feeling of comboing off and others like control or aggro creature strategy. its all preference :)

  • Anyone know the infinate combos in these games? Would really like to know.

  • Why does playing Splinter Twin on his 2/1 flyer win the game?

    What am I missing?

  • @Lightmane321 That 2/1 flyer with Splinter Twin is an infinite combo.

  • @TheCollector8 Oh. Now I see it. I didn't realize that it untaps it & then it just makes another one & another & another. So why didn't they ban such a silly thing?

    Winning a Pro Tour by playing Pestermite & enchanting it with Splinter Twin? That's ridiculous.

  • @Lightmane321 dude thats like banning phyrexian metalmorph, suture priest and relic warder! the trrigger infinite life

  • @MikeBack42 I understand your point, but in my opinion any "infinite combo" should be banned, simply because it's an infinite combo, unless "maybe" said combo doesn't automatically win you the game. That's not magic, in my opinion.

  • @Lightmane321 What, and winning with Blazing Shoal on turn 2 is any better? That deck was so problematic that it had to be banned.

    The Deceiver/Twin combo is perfectly fine. If you can play through all of your opponent's disruption (counters, removal, Spellskite, etc.) and resolve a Splinter Twin on your Pestermite, then you deserve the win.

    Magic is a strategy game, and that includes combo. It's not as "auto-win" as you seem to think it is.

  • @TehFoamy I understand your point & I totally agree with you that winning on turn 2 with Blazing Shoal is stupid, but it's only hard to do if your opponent is playing a deck that can stop it. If they aren't, then you simply can't win against this, unless he can't get the combo out. But regardless, if the infinite combo "automatically" wins you the game, then in my opinion that's broken. But you're right; at least he can't pull this off on turn 2 thank God ; )

  • Comment removed

  • @TehFoamy Here's another infinite combo for you. Enjoy.

    Gravecrawler, Grimgrin, the Zombie Captain & Rooftop Storm.

    Unless there's a way to stop this, you just won, no matter how many opponents you're playing against. Granted, Rooftop costs 6 & Grimgrin 5, & it involves 4 cards, so even "I'M" okay with this one - lol

    Still... talk about a sick combo. Infinite lifedrain & pump on the Grim. Yikes

    W/out the Captain, just play Artful Dodge for the win ; )

  • jeez why do they take so long to play one turn?!?!?

  • @mrploch its takes freaking strategy. thats why it takes so long to play one turn.

  • @XxMajorHaddenxX ya but it seems to me that they dont do much in a turn.

  • 12:00 for the start

  • How is misty rain forest fetching duel lands?

  • @misterhalo2007

    Misty says look for a forest or island. Temple Garden is Land - Forest Plains and can be search for with misty.

  • @misterhalo2007 the fetch lands he is getting has plains or islands as a subtype

  • @misterhalo2007 Get out n00b, this video is for experienced players

  • @ThePlop43 Understood. I started on the begging of scars. Don't know all this yet.

  • @misterhalo2007 the duel lands have basic land types.

  • Overwhelming stampede is better than Overrun

  • Good lord, the camerawork needs a review. Stop doing those swooping shots of the field and fixing on their faces while they're actually doing stuff. Save that for the 10 minutes of shuffling each game.

  • I'm scurred to play MTG. Shuffling looks like it hurts ;_;

  • I have seen a lot of 'game faces' but what the f*#% was that??? its cards too...shuffle and deal with it, i'm very anti- shuffle til' you get the hand you want. Doesn't work in poker. If you lack mana, i understand to a degree, other than that play. I mean, if you don't get the cards in the beginning it's re-deal. If you don't get the cards during the middle or end of the game, you don't get to shuffle again, you get defeated. just typin' not trollin', playing MTR since 96'.

  • As i counted on game 3 the guy shuffled the deck of the italian 33 times after his second mulligan 33 times of fck

  • does he have he have the answer to two bolts i dont think he does.....everyone watching looks at spellskite and facepalms

  • josh shuffles like he has never played before.

  • lol joshua didn't want to concede that game. he had 2 lighting bolts but of fucking course his opponent was going to use the spellskite.

  • at the beginning of the first hand he is fondling himself seriously.

  • @Rollandoable he is just sccratching or accomodating his balls. amurikans are so oversensitive.

  • Estratti is a tard..

  • One of the players looks like he is taking a painful shit.

  • OMFG why the fuck was the camera moving so much at the end of game 2!?!?!?

  • New idea: Tick counters.

    Each player gets 50 nervous ticks per game, after which each tick will yield a loss of 1 life or a discard - opponent's choice.

  • Why didn't Josh just use the 2 Lightning bolts directly at Estratti? He could've won right there..

  • @MrKaiizenn it was a moot point as he has spell skite. He can just redirect to it for 4 life. he was on 6.

  • Comment removed

  • @zhengjing1 Yeah, if not for the Blood Moon, Path to Exile could have been used on the Splinter Twin's target, maybe coaxing two life out for Spellskite's activation (although he may have just payed a blue, which I would hope). Then 2x Bolt to the player. I think, though, that the Italian player had no chance of losing the game on that last turn with the cards we saw.

  • Lol. Why do all of you complain about everything? Jeez.

  • i'm trying to build the winners deck without spending much money, would you help me?

  • @PCzproductions just buy Splinter Twin, Exarch, and the draw spells and add counters.

  • @indestructigamer thank you

  • @PCzproductions yeah. if you have money for it, spellskite can help you as well.

  • @PCzproductions You mean by sending you money? xD

  • @Domenico44055 no -.- but if u want to send me money u're welcome :D

  • 'Preordain looks at 2, Ponder looks at 3.'

    WE KNOW RICH HAGON, WE ARE WATCHING THE PRO TOUR FINALS NOT THE PRERELEASE PRIMER. Flippin' moron.

  • @Dethclone

    They have to say something,deal with it nerd.

  • WOULD THAT GUY STOP MOVING HIS FUCKING CARDS IN HIS HAND?????!!!!!!!!!

  • @iKoNiCkk Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That. Gotcha. Cast Stop That.

  • cant fucking wait for a finals game where at the last match to win the tournament, someone have to muligan all the way to 0 cards because no lands in hand, maybe wizards will try to do something about it then.

  • @MagicTheGathering300 i dont think its on wizards.. you probably just need to add more cards to your deck

  • @Travis7060312 It happens, happened to me before in a mtgo draft where I had 17 lands 23 non lands. Bad luck happens.

  • @MagicTheGathering300 yeah but how do you expect wizards to fix that?

  • @Travis7060312 no clue, but something to make more skill in the game involved would be great

  • Every time a player Twitch his card, he should receive a punch on his face by the referee. This should make them learn.

  • @overmind6 It helps them deal with the stress and think. I find myself doing it too when playing important games, without even knowing I'm doing it.

  • Everyday I'm shufflin'!

  • so much fucking shuffling really? i mean come on i saw pro tour finals before there wasnt this much and why were the players so cold to each other magic shouldnt be played like that

  • @tuber856 they are playing for a couple thousand dollars not for 3 Boosters.

  • @tuber856 players at top levels tend to get extremely focused on the game and not think so much about being Mr. nice guy. As a result we see things where people can come off cold during a match but then turn around and be all smiles and joking with each other after the fact. I mean hell look at worlds with Wafo-tapa vs Wafo-tapa you have relatives and while one was joking some the other was very serious. It has nothing to do with being cold and everything to do with focusing on the game.

  • @Kingofredeyes I think it was guilome v guilome, one being matangue and the other being wafo-tapa. they have been dear friends for years. I dunno, wafo-tapa may have played a sibling or cousin that I missed.

  • @Kingofredeyes you should always have enough mental energy to be decent.

  • @Kingofredeyes wafo tapa vs wafo tapa? when did that happen, in Fantasy Worlds? :P

  • @tuber856 I know, really! It's almost as if they know if they lose, someone's gonna kill their favorite puppy.

  • @tuber856 Pro magic poker faces.

  • @tuber856 the guy is playing splinter twin so thats an ass ton of shuffling cause of all the scry and ponder bullshit to get the combo pieces! very gay lol

  • @tuber856 These guys are winner-types, this is a tournament, it's a not just a fun game with friends.

  • The camerawork is annoying as hell. Too far up and moving around too much.

  • bad camera work hard to see what is going on

  • I got scared at 20:01. Lord of the Unreal suddenly showed up so close. He isnt a friendly lookin dude either.

  • While I love magic tournaments, two things have always bothered me.

    1. The crazy hand twitches... apparently it makes them relax, yet it is so ANNOYING.

    2. The shuffling, that is actually not a real problem, but it does take a lot of time with cards like ponder and ALL the fetches.

    ...Secret 3 : People who put their creatures behind their lands.

  • The camera man makes every move suck

  • wow i wish Yugioh was this competetive, but I have no patiance to play MTG

  • Hagan is fucking annoying. The man really knows very little about Magic and belongs nowhere near a tournament of a higher caliber than FNM.

  • Slugsworth vs. the most Awkward Italian ever

  • Josh didnt do well, he made a lot of mistakes, thats why he lost.

  • Could that fucking guy stop moving his fucking cards at his hand???

  • @penwinox There's a reason to shuffle your cards. Keeping your opponent from knowing how you're playing is an essential skill in real magic. (IE: them not knowing if you're playing a land already in your hand or the one you've been holding on to for 3 turns, matters). The best way to do this is generally to just shuffle your cards constantly, and for most it becomes a nervous instinctual action.

  • Does noone else notice estratti scratching his balls at the VERY start of game 1? LOL

  • 56:00

  • wow I think I just watched the whole thing... damn this is almost long enough to be a full-on fucking movie!

  • the one guys need to go take a poop before craps all over the board

  • Was Utter-Leyton just hoping Estratti would forget to redirect the 2nd bolt to Spellskite and just scoop?

  • @supergeorge3333

    Doesn't hurt to try, it was his only shot.

  • Comment removed

  • 31:00 

  • 20:04  Lord of the Unreal looks into your soul

  • i dont always use 720p. but when i do, takes forever to buffer

    

  • Why does the one guy keep wincing like he has to drop a deuce?

  • Why is the guy on the right constantly shuffeling his cards? What is it, a nervous twitch? Its very distracting.

  • @CasparWilson I guess it's like chip shuffling in poker, pros do it as a way to constantly do something and not give away any tells

  • Whoever the director is... he needs a new job. Happy Labor day

  • I want that table from this years pro-tour. It's super cool.

  • All the new camera angles are bunk as fuck. All we wanna see is the board and their hands occasionally. Cut the bullshit panning, pseudo artsy shots so I dont miss the last couple winning plays of each game...

  • Great Samuele, the true italian stallion like Siffredi ahahahahahahahah

  • lol blood moon is such a dick move as always.

  • 11.53 toccata di palle scaramantica lol

  • Um in the end of game 2 the camera is at a horrible angle you cant see what is happening on the board on the few last winning plays.

  • Anyone else notice they spelled, well maybe I shouldn't ruin it, they spelled the winners last name wrong on the check?

  • This guys are very funny but very critial about MTG. I really like them.

  • umm.. why was josh losing three life from a fetchland? arent they only one life?????

  • @Supergecko100 He fetched into a shock land, dealing 2 more damage plus the 1 from the fetch

  • @Supergecko100 because the Ravnica duel lands come into play tapped unless you pay 2 life.

  • how many times can a person shuffle a deck! geez

  • mtg community, if you know how to get thse tables, plz pm me or ask wizards!

  • 20:04 is the creepiest thing ever!

  • LOVING THE HD!!!!

  • I really want one of those tables!!!!

  • @dylancool2 are the tables made of glossy granite-ish material? i would seriously want one as well!

  • I'm liking the quality Wizards! Keep it up!

  • Quick question, IS this Standard? cause Bant charm is from Shards, And thats not in Standard right now

  • @xLegendaryPete

    its Modern format

  • @xLegendaryPete

    Its Modern. Look at the description.

  • DAMN MODERN IS A THING NOW Im playing magic again

  • please upload the semi finals and quarterfinals

  • 12:00 What is Samuelle doing with his left hand? o_O

  • I understand why people shuffle their hands like that, but jesus get on with the game ><

  • is there any way to get one of those magic the gathering tables?

  • like if the 302 viewer is you!

  • now during the pro tour, they play with there own cards or all draft booster pack cards? How does that work?

  • @nicknsk8er It depends on the format of the PT. This one was Modern, so it was a constructed format (constructed = you bring your cards, limited = you do drafts/sealed and play with the cards you find). Yet, to qualify for the top 8 they had to play x (can't remember the numbers here, sorry) rounds of draft and y rounds of the PT format (in this case Modern). Then the top 8 will do the last 3 single elimination rounds in the PT format (again, Modern in this case).

  • why was goyf only hitting for so little when there was like 5-10 cards in graveyard? also how did it get killed of to firesprout?

  • @stewpidazzle

    G1 Goyf was 3/4.

    It got killed by firespout + bolt, as said in the video

  • @Thror251

    there were four cards in all graveyards after the remand was played and goyf attacked but only for three...

  • @Thror251

    18:45 there are i believe 7 cards in all graveyards, but goyf only swung for 3. Are fetch lands or anything else not considered card types...just trying to understand goyf thats all.

  • @stewpidazzle

    Goyf only cares about card types.

    If there are 20 lands in the graveyard, that makes no difference.

    Just count card types (land, creature, artifact, enchantment, instant, sorcery, planeswalker, tribal)

  • DINNER FOR THE ITALIANS TONIGHT XD

  • So long to just get round 2 started

  • Thanks for uploading... but can you get a new production director? The timing when they zoom in on faces or backgrounds or pan in from the ceiling is just HORRID. The quasi-artistic approach just ruins the actual gameplay. Why not screw around with the cameras when they are SHUFFLING.

  • grabbing his sac

  • This is what happens when you get a camera man from a football stadium to the table, out of place and seriously unneeded angles

  • i like estratti. seems like a cool guy, cuz he wins and shows no sign of joy. thats how champs roll, y'all.

  • @MrFreak0r I didn't like his shady maneuvre when he tried to trick his semis opponent into saccing Ravager when he had a Spellskite in play. He was conveying "you got me" with his gestures and seeming resignation, and I find that scummy.

  • 14:18 - 14:51 consists of the guy on the right shuffling his hand around nonstop..

  • Lets get better camera men pleasee!!!!!

  • Does that guy have constant memory loss causes he keeps shuffling through his hand...

  • How about we keep the camera on the table so we can see what's actually going on rather than looking at the backdrops and Estratti's face? We missed half of Game 1 looking at his face, and the wolf back drop.

  • @Joe11Blue especially the end of the second round! i dont understand how estratti won that one, did he have 2 deprives? but he didnt have enough mana, did he? god it makes me angry!!!

    when will they start doing these streams with a professional quality? is it too hard to put the cards they are playing on the bottom of the screen? even the name would help! but i see people on youtube who can even put the whole card image...

  • @captRhay They're just doing the same live commentary that they do at the Pro Tour. People like Evan Erwin used to make rundowns of matches to no avail. This coverage is pretty much the best you'll be able to get with the speed at which players are going.

  • @captRhay i still wasn't sure how Paul's board ended up getting cleared at the end of Game 1. I'm not watching it again either. If they are going to spend so much money on the camera crew, they could at least keep the cameras where they belong. I mean how hard is it to keep it pointed at the board state?

  • @captRhay He had a Dispel and a Deprive

  • @captRhay He had a dispel and a deprive.

  • Magic the Gathering is played at 11:07

  • Did we really need 10+ minutes of BSing before the games started?

  • @Joe11Blue

    You're streaming a video. You can skip to it if you're really bothered by it.

  • @weihoozie You could also have ignored my comment and gone about your business as well, but you didn't, did you? See how easy it is to be a pedantic jackass?

    Again, did we really need that 10 minutes of BSing? This is 2011 it's not like we were waiting for the players to start while viewing it live on Youtube.

  • these guys have really annoying ticks xD (i know they are nervous)

  • Blood Moon is a digusting side board card. make most of cards in Josh's deck useless.

  • Will you upload quarter/semi finals????

  • @doxaios83 They will, they just upload the finals before the semis (damn douches).
