Randy: "Spectral Press ocean" @ 13:14

[christfori]

Dude man what's with all the hand shuffling? it drives me nuts when your playin someone and they keep shuffling an poping the cards in their hand.

[mtgshmoopy]

its the MTG player's nervous twitch... everyone I know who plays, does it...

[WhopperSr]

Spectral was such bad tech, it lsot him the match.

[koalarunner]

Not necessarily, Ikeda was just retarded in keeping three of them without the mana. His deck could do way better than that.

[WhopperSr]

Uh, Procession "was" good when it was in B/W, and the mana base was solid., but in Zoo where you are constantly fighting with your mana base, its just not intelligent. 3 white dudes isnt gonna save you from a Marit Lage token, why not just remove it and replace processions with something more efficient?

[EpicFailGuy779]

with what though?

if a chalice is out any path's or swords are countered

[lpandjayz1]

i didnt think u can respond anything 2 split second

[saladinstg]

You can respond to Split Second with things that don't use the stack ( flipping up a face-down morph creature is the most popular, but there are some others).

@lpandjayz1

Activated abilities that have a mana cost can be used

[Takkelete]

@charlesmcguffy

No. Mana abilities may be used, but mana abilities are just abilities that make mana i.e. Llanowar Elves. Activated abilities that require mana costs like Thopter Foundry can't be used.

[charlesmcguffy]

That's right. Well done.

*ruffles hair*

[QuestionsAreStupid]

I'm wondering how many times total did Randy lie and say no one found

Grove of the Burnwillows/Punishing Fire but Kiblers group.

[xex999]

its not that he is lying its that no one else was playing it at the pro tour.

[saladinstg]

If they had, wouldn't they have been playing it, since it's OBVIOUSLY good?

[WhopperSr]

lol at countryside crusher fail

[tuckyWHMB]

"plus a dood" lol

[PHYLYO]

your moms a pimp!

[3sstudent]

what a beast

[Wedgehead123]

Brian Kibler is a pimp.

[PoketoMtg]

I am wondering, how many times did Brian's Baneslayer come out in quarter to final?

[pilsener13]

OMFG!!!!! STOP!!! moving the card in your hand!!!! you look like a stupid

[rengarth]

wow, ikeda tried to play a crusher w/o rr in the finals of a pro tour. FAIL

[gandalfnco]

i don't see why you have so many negatives.. it's true and that clearly messed up his game plan too

[Zuul030]

Ikeda was steamrolled. Kibler's "Slow Zoo" had Baneslayer and was just more teched out.
