Magic Online Championship Series Season 1 Final: Game 1

[ShinobiGarth]

the MTGO interface is old and unappealing to look at. can you guys redesign it more like the Duels of the Planeswalkers UI which looks really nice and still has all pertinent info?

[akiramolas]

ARGENTINA FTW!

[StompyErr]

Ver-setty...

ass

[NachtCrus]

you can actually just trade virtual cards for real cards, and even if i dont, it just lends a nice feeling of "reality" to this :}

[thegriffin421]

downloading game now!

[Develon22]

New magic cards BROKE Magic IMO...old times when reanimate decks were the best fast strategies, now its all about Fairies...elves, etc...just goblins dont get a chance these last days ,<

[OneT236]

@Develon22 Hey hey hey, goblin guide and goblin bushwacker. Ok those are the only two.

[EdRulez2306]

isn't there a way to play it for free?

[xxxholic90]

VAMOS ARGENTINA 8D

[Scottythabeast]

the new magic the gathering cards are so gay, the old magic was so much better

[WroughtDeathVids]

how much does it cost to buy cards in the online game

[101stColonialMarines]

Can anyone recommend me any other TCG online? Thank you!!

[Reneliel]

Video quality sucks, commentary sucks

[2997666098]

Is there some kind of demo of the game?

[TheSuperbloop]

That was close :O

Cryptic Command is so broken: for just U more than cancel, you get to counter a spell with an adfditional effect, or whatever combination you want. So much variety...

[nolnol7]

aaaaaa i dont like blue or red :D

but white,green and black are just awesome :D

[RoCkiTGermany]

dem too fast

[9578755]

yea i see this crap is non user friendly at all, guess ill stick with Kaiba Corp VDS

[LiangHuBBB]

How much does this cost to start?

[shoopdewooooooop]

google it ^^

[ryans32123]

@LiangHuBBB its 16$ to get an account i believe and they give u 16$ store credit or something like that. but on average the good card will cost u about 25cents each, which adds up.

[ForbiddianSC]

If the video were a bit slower, the commentator would have had more time to make responses and time his inflection.

Instead it was like, "Oh, that was a crushing play..."

[sl4yar]

@ForbiddianSC HAHAHAHAHA

[Emperror1]

@ForbiddianSC That is because Tom LaPille is a man that has absolutely no clue what he is talking about. "I know some Mistbind cliques that might want a word with you"

[jairomy]

Tom did a bad job at commentary.

[ashemedai]

A suggestion for the folks at Wizards: take a look at the commentary videos of diggitysc, cholerasc and the likes. They have been doing fan-commentary of StarCraft for a long time now and they got the right angle, in my opinion, on background, fun, and strategy explanations.

[ScissorsSC]

Omg haha, another person that's into both MTG and SC!! Amazing, i love them too man.

[ZWCoolkid]

Its not even in real time. I wish they wouldn't show these high-speed replays that don't give any real insight into players' decision making. If you're going to show a replay, do it in real time, not highly accelerated. No one plays Magic that fast.

[DredgeTog]

LaPille is awful..

[onlainari]

There was nothing wrong with this commentary, just saying it could be better.

[musicmiles]

I thought that the commentary was fine. =)

[DaiJekLow]

It certainly was knowledgeable, but hard to listen to...every comment ended on the same inflection. It was a bit annoying, the expressions seem forced.

[dolemiteX]

I think the commentary was fine. Tom could use a little more inflection, but it was pretty fluid and knowledgable.

[spiffy144]

Tommy VER-seh-tee?

Just had to be the first one to point that out.

[ReallyBigFish12]

yeah this commentator stumbles too much and is awkward

[carthwolf]

yup

[manudosde]

Lucky topdeck for a badly played match

[LordSageMirentus]

It was very meh, but it helped that the match was great.

[THECreativeName]

Finally, we get some decent commentary.  Brief and to the point.

[carthwolf]

really?

[THECreativeName]

YA RLY :)

Maybe magic online is just faster paced. Watching some old PT videos is just painful cause they have to make up so much crap to fill in the dead time.

[carthwolf]

he seemed dry to me and stumbled on his words. you cant really compare this to a PT video because those are hour long events that have a lot more actual shuffling that is not involved in mtgo.

[THECreativeName]

Video can be edited XD

[themiz2003k]

Tom Lapille reading off a script, or just speaking in general, makes me want to kill myself.

SAVAGE RIP there. Lightning - helix esq.

[Kincaid28]

Could have used more Evan Erwin.

[PankeymanProductions]

I know, he really makes the game come alive.

[articwinter]

not for me... his accent makes me cringe and makes watching the videos not enjoyable at all

[Kincaid28]

"Heeeeeeeeello everybody and welcome to the Magic Show."

[dark2200]

The Commentary need to be improved on.

and more have the Life points and names of the players on the side.

[coledash]

Nice match, but the commentary was boring. Really monotone voice
