The Professors: Episode 160: Innistrad Speculation and Modern Philly

*Yes, The Professors is still on Channelfireball, but no it's not permanently on Youtube (there's a bandwidth problem on the site so all stuff gets uploaded to Youtube, though there was a communication problem with the person who runs the Channel Fireball youtube account and has the information so this episode was uploaded here). Also, this episode is a week late. However, it will still be available on ChannelFireball.com soon. I wanted to make sure this episode got up as soon as possible partially because the information will lose relevance in a few days and partially because Hurricane Irene is about to land on my house and cause, potentially a week long power outage :/ Nonetheless, we'll be covering Pro Tour Philly next week, so stay tuned for the next episode within the next week or two. Thanks for watching!*

Hello everybody and welcome to yet another episode of The Professors. This week we'll be taking a look at Innistrad, what will come out of it, why this is important to you, what you can gain financially from it, and why it's not just random speculation. But first we'll take a look at Modern as the new format has officially come into play for sanctioned events and, most importantly, will be seen for the first time on a premier event stage...at Pro Tour Philly in less than three weeks. As usual you can check out the whole show by watching the second video in the menu, or skip to the first segment via the third video or second segment via the fourth video. So let's draw.

PT Philly in 3 weeks? Out of curiosity, when did you record this?

[proffessors]

@manudosde 2 weeks ago :/ I know, very late (too late to get up to Channel Fireball now), but my house got hit by a thunderstorm, then two weeks later a tremor from an earthquake, a near-direct hit from a tornado, and a level 2 hurricane, so I had some set backs xD

[supremeuniverseruler]

I know, so sad :(

is the proffessors gone? i can't find it on channel fireball anymore... :(

[Specialchimp]

my god i cant listen to you talk for more than 10 seconds

your opponent apparently has something big in hand and wanted lands, so i 'd draw jace to 0 and swing with 3 hawks then lay down a 2nd tectonic edge and activated both to take his land count down to 2. so next turn he can have 3 lands, no big deals can be played. in the worst case if he has a black sun's zenith, we still get the angel in hand.

What I'd do on 5th turn: Show my opponent the dismember while furiously crunch it it my hand, and scream out: "THIS CARD SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PRINTED! WTF IS IT DOING IN A BLUE, WHITE DECK!? FUCK YOU WIZARDS!" Then leave the table and say: "I'll probably be back in 16 months".

@proffessors Wow, sorry to hear that, I was just curious, honest :)

[manudosde]

@CrashTheChao Faerie dominance seems unlikely as long as the Punishing Grove combo is legal.
