[lastate131]

[69cocksucker]

@lastate131 boros

[MATTierial]

I miss 5cc so much...

[thawulfman]

best name EVER! Guillume Wafa Topa!

[bestard3]

this might be the best match i've ever seen

[ninjoshot]

What is the guy with the laptop doing?

[arcengal]

@ninjoshot He's the official WotC writer, writing coverage for the game as it goes on. He'll write a rough sketch of the game and keep notes of soundbites the players come up with.

[cubandarknez]

GO HISPANICS, SHATTER THE PREJUDICE AGAINST HISPANIC GAMERS!

[jrckr1]

@cubandarknez what prejudice do you speak of?



[PaganMars]

@cubandarknez you're a fucking retard.

[KrankesHirn]

@cubandarknez You know that making those comments actually fuel those prejudices?

[wiiman0001]

I hope I get to become half as good as Scott-Vargas some day lol

[ElgartheWise]

The intro to these vids is annoying xD

[3rcco]

When he said "Ajani Goldmane" at 1:26 I heard "A Johnny Goldmine"

[Kalinack]

Ok. If you want people to watch this on the web, lose the play by play guys and highlight (with a scrip, perhaps on the bottom screen corners) which cards are being played. People who make amatuer youtube vids do a much better job. Please catch up! It will only help mtg in the long run.

[discblizz]

@Kalinack AB just post the vids, those are official WotC staff

[sharky168]

MAGIC IS FOR FAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

/runs

[sadlybadlyy3]

@sharky168 why do you bother watching this? why do you call us fags? are we too good at math for you?

[rammstein99835]

@sharky168 And the purpose of that was?

[MrBalonko]

Damn i do not get a thing here.but they sure shuffle that cards a lot.

[endersgame55]

Would be nice if we could make out what the hell the cards were. I guess that's YouTube's fault.

[Zimbabweland]

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE PRO TOUR KYOTO CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!!! Holy crap that scared me.

[mammajama7]

can they plz get a new camra man :)

[s33thr3w]

What does the winner get? Loss of virginity?

[waytooape]

@s33thr3w for your information, douchebag, yes. that is exactly what they get ;)

[LukeLegere]

@s33thr3w a thumbs down to you sir

[endersgame55]

@s33thr3w What, are you kidding? And lose the coveted virginity mojo?

[AteenagerAndDepressd]

Does anyone else get a boner when they hear five-colour control?

[mmpedersen96]

@AteenagerAndDepressd 37 other people, apparently o.O

[kssifrot]

@AteenagerAndDepressd

each time they add a color in my boner pool

[lnmylife]

nerds, lol

[codexdelux]

@lnmylife Sure, but without "nerds" the world would basically stop. no internet, no new cars, no ipods, no computers. AS 60 minutes once stated : "blessed are the Geeks; for they shall inherit the earth." ;)

[CheetaReborn]

@codexdelux haha ya rly, Bill Gates , Steve Jobs, people would be lost their technology

[94filly]

Wow if the video worked it may be awesome.

[Sforschondetta]

whats the guy with the laptop doing?

[drawingshadows]

nerds



[littlteapot]

Does a +1/+1 counter from ajani really counteract a persist -1/-1 counter? Why don't they just both go on the same guy?

[shteevuk]

@littlteapot It's a recent change in the rules, +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on the same permanent annihilate each other.

[UberR3D]

@littlteapot they basically changed it into a positive/negative scale

[Holdington]

What's with the horrible sound?

[3amsleep]

damn this videos are crap quality

[joshua61991]

i've noticed that no one uses a specific combo. I have a combo deck that is at most a two turn winner, could I win one of these tournaments with that combo deck or are combo decks easily beaten?

[kevinkenny3]

@joshua61991 If you're talking about a standard tournament, there are no 2nd turn win decks even with an optimum draw. If you're thinking legacy or vintage, say hello to force of will.

[runescapemaster4911]

im a new player all i hav is the conflux intro pack

[Georgedegriek]

Hahaa i dont believe it! My favorite french player Gabriel still in the tournaments!! I've been watching this guy since 2002. One of the funniest players :D

[Jdoss19]

woot he is number one

[CriticalHit052]

where are these guys lands??? all i can see are creatures and enchantments

[omgfood]

they're all non-basic

[meanberry]

there is no enchantments it's non-basiclands.

[kevinkenny3]

@CriticalHit052 They're just nonbasic

[paaloozaa]

I found this video by chance, and I have no idea what's going on, but it looks really complicated.

You can see the guys really concentrating!

It reminds me of chess, how both players have to really focus.

[bigups43]

@paaloozaa I love magic to death. But not more than I love chess. Magics got nothing on chess IMO.

[demented36]

in a lot of ways magic is more complex then chess it requires much more forethought but chess is ALOT cheaper

[Tagg360]

@demented36 Agreed! Chess has been around too long with no change to the game at all, all the possible moves that can be made has already been recorded in variose books. Whereas magic changes every couple months.

[GreedoUT]

Man.... do we HAVE to listen to Randy Buhler in EVERY one of these videos? What a freakin voice...

[Ellendiel]

You get used to it after a while. He's honestly the "voice of magic tournaments" for us that have been watching for over a decade. Kinda sad that he's done :(

[GreedoUT]

Yeah, I kinda felt bad after I posted it. He sounds like a nice guy and all. It's just that he doesn't have a traditional sports caster type of voice.

[beastmouth]

if you've been watching longer than that, you remember weissman talking over beuhler playing! ;-p

[makintosh01]

im playing magic since 1992 to 2oo2 and i stop.theres a whole new cards and decks to recon with,i think im gonna play magic nowadays jejejeje my decks are goblin,black with old school moves with avatar of woe exhumes terror vizara and etc.

[jbshaver29]

@makintosh01 thats weird since magic didnt start until like 93 or 94

[Dthorn912]

I've been playing Magic for about 4 years and I can't see myself playing in these. I have a kick ass Red, White, Green. Also Nyah or Niegha. Havent Figured the spelling by memory lol

[occultninja4]

[Dthorn912]

[Phil2171]

Naya

[TheMTGwannabe]

Naya

[gamemfreak]

[DarkZaix]

[XTCiswhatIneed]

[enndroc]

[13surenaloka760]

wow how fun watching there faces not the cards.

[2freet]

thought the same..

[Darkslayer577]

you know they should have a tv channel thats nothing but magic news, spoilers, and pro tour play

[LucidSymphony]

whats it called?

[defm1]

Are deck lists available?

[dogmaguyy]

wow...

[freejunk2]

is there a HD version of this

[dogmaguyy]

wow

[Punisher869]

anyone know what nassif sideboards in and what he takes out?

[Mcr4z]

Topdeck means that the card that is needed to change the outcome of the game is the card on top of your deck.

For instance, you have alot of 1/1 tokens that are gooing to get you to 0 life the next turn, on your turn you draw a V Fallout to get those of the board.

[LeeWooT]

can someone please tell me what a topdeck is?

[magecritic]

these guys are right, but topdeckING is when you have no hand and are trying to draw a good card off the top.

[V4L0r]

WRONG! Top decking is when you are without a hand and just drawing the top card of your deck that is it. It is not the act of hoping for a good card when you have none.

[JamesAnderyourstruly]

lol nobody is at the final everyones at the beta draft

[DuraheLL]

even tho i dont play magic anymore, watching the finals is always so much fun. really shows theres tons of skills in this beautiful game

[Finricer]

where i can see this live? or better quality? can magic the gathering tournamets download from bitcommet?

[DanielHoward777]

is this aired on tv?

[GladoreRivendare]

Not anymore i don't believe

[rammstein99835]

I think the announcers are annoying.

[MJtheKandyman]

who is kai??? (im not sure if iv spelt this right)

[weemoe68504]

kai budde argueably one of the greatest magic players ever

[MJtheKandyman]

y, wat did he do?

[donothackme]

some one that top 8ed pro tours over 10 times accross a few years. Jap player.

[thawulfman]

rofl that guy is wrong Kai Budde is the greatest player n magic history so far..btw hes German... yea hes top 8 over 10 times 7 pro wins, and some other great achievements... type kai budde and look him up if u want

[NothingSpecialBand]

Finkel my friend, Finkel is the best.

[donothackme]

a player who top 8ed 9 pro tours in 3-4 years and won 7 of the 9.

[TomasuRikabe3]

The topdeck favours Nassif... you don't know the half of it yet!

[IDarkLite]

wtf?! I played Magic like 8 or 9 years ago and just lokked up some vids cause I downloaded Duels of the planewalkers yesterday and I never would've thought that this amazing card-game is so famous and big! great!^^

[evanpresutti]

i know! i did the same thing!

[Jezzzaa]

me too :D

I rlly like the planetwalkers game on xbox, its pretty sweet

[J3ffDK]

dude, bond of agony isn't standard. and this is the standard tournament.

[Alsnake]

is this standard?

[hbomb360]

yea

[errlwayne]

good stuff. i like the annotations you have on some of the videos.

*subscribed

[hotpixel888888]

does anybody know if there is any diference in using vintage or standard cards? i mean can you do a pro tour with vintage cards?

[MJtheKandyman]

i am not sure, but i fink dat dey have a different little bit of the tournement for standard, extended, vintage and gud old legacy

[Skateboykyle]

I believe they are 2 different types of tournaments. One of them is lame in my opinion because each round only lasts 3-4 turns but takes 20 minutes each game.

[NothingSpecialBand]

pro tours are different formats. this one happens to be standard. the majority of them are Extended and Standard, though others are draft. i don't think there has been a legacy or vintage pro tour yet.

[karene27]

Why show their faces for so long...show the table

[cerebrateone]

yeah those nerds are fucking ugly

[rockykavallion614]

Jealous much? lol

[Hill568]

I dont know what the hell is going on???? They need a better set up then this!

[LunaticOtaku]

Tell that to Wizards
