Magic TV: Show #31 - Pro Tour—San Diego Review

[Nightwing690]

Fellow California native and resident takes home the san diego title, YESS!, lsv is the man, one of the best players in the game, and even though I've never met him, I consider him my mentor, I've learned so much from watching play and commentate, and draft and explain decks and strategies

[ddfan111]

congratulations lsv on the best run ever!

I love that you use a shirt instead of a hockeyjersey, looks alot more professional.

I'm also happy about the fact that you and LSV aren't bickering as much. I used to sit on the edge on my seat feeling a bit uneasy when watching your show because of the tension, LSV tossing you some snide remarks etc, just like mashi used to do to LSV. Im happy you can get along now, much more fun to watch that way.

And also nice new haircut! =)

@ Everyone bugging about no Canada jersey:

You hear LSV saying he's going to Madrid soon. That means this was taped before this past weekend and thus before Canada's gold medal.

TSG made the pro tour? What's the best mashi ever did?

[ChrisMeister91]

Hey Tristan, Canada won gold in hockey, be proud and wear a jersey!

[Akab6]

Grats TSG and LSV on your respected accomplishments.

Oh yeah more lotus cobra than jace int eh top 8 and lotus cobra is how bad and jace is how good? people are so silly, every card exists in context. With less lightning bolt and less 2-3 mana bombs around and more 4 and 5 mana game breakers cobra would be in 3/8 instead of 1/8, better counterspells and jace would be in 3/8 of the top 8 ect, as it is bloodbraid still reins supreme with 16 copies played, although there were 19 lightning bolts as well.

jund is still the best deck unfortunately, happy to see the version that won was the smarter version that didnt have the dead maindeck cards against control (terminate and bit blast) ehich is how the deck should be built now, especially with jace running around you don't want to stumble on low land draws or draws clogged with terminate and bit blast. (of course i still think any deck with jace in it is tier 2, but theres plenty of tunnel vision players that are pretty decent running around)

no hockey jersey?!? WTF?!?

[lKILLGIANTS]

It's not fashionable.

LSV great run man. The fact that you were humble about it and didnt bitch about your rough luck in the final 4 makes you a very classy player. i just won an med1,2,3 draft on mtgo that was the result of a bunch of good draws...seeing bolt, chain lit. and oblesk (sp) just about every game is pretty lucky so i def knew it was all contributed to my play ability. Glad to see someone who everyone knows is a good player admit that with magic there is some luck envolved.

[RedRingStudios]

Congrats on the big streak, LSV. I really admire you for not letting it go to your head, and not making the focus of the review just the fact that you broke a record.

I still say you got robbed, though. It disappointed me that the finals was a Jund mirror, seeing as I loathe the deck with a passion. Still, it couldn't have been helped, and as you said, bad draws are an inevitability.

[hungsolow123]

Good job LSV. Nice to see you humble about it all!

[KilliaK]

Indeed, I love it!

[mercenarybdu]

excellent work. Now keep all of the media free from DCI control. Who knows how bad it'll be later.

[cataphracts123]

Great work, LSV. Congratulations.

[Tyrfing0320]

First and Awesome! What a finish LSV, keep it on!

[DaniKiller]

finally,this is what i was waiting for
