[@RhysticStudies]

love these recaps dude. thanks for putting another one together.

[@JimDavisMTG]

Thanks for watching, you're great! We'll have to say hi at the next event

[@rotembcohen]

Sam, you’re going to have to make a video about Kai now😢

[@tmbocheeko]

Shout-out to Finkel's girlfriend for making you guys take that team picture! It really wraps up the week in such a great way, and it'll be a memory for life that you can look back on easily now.

[@youbluethatone1017]

I BET JON IS AN AMAZING LOVER!!! 😘

[@Fantapew]

Dude, if I could sit in a room and listen to LSV talk about limited for hours you bet your ass I’d be front row too.

[@JimDavisMTG]

Right!?

[@raiseer]

I actually met him in Amsterdam - or rather ambushed him in his limited free time between games. He was still nice and patient and also gave me a Map Token business card :)

[@janmoryn8164]

this is the most wholesome content ever I love that i can straight up sit down and have my virtual buddy Jim tell me about his trip INTERNET IS COOL

[@thadrin]

This was my first big Magic event as someone who has been in and out of the game since like Homelands. Purely casual Commander player, there with my son. Had an absolute blast, played loads of games, got some cool stuff, met a load of people I watch on Twitch and KZbin, including saying hi to Jim late sunday (then again in the hotel after when I heard Kai had won the PTQ, which made me very happy because f**k cancer. Sorry if I disturbed you guys.). Wish I'd had a Goblin token with me. Enjoyed the video a lot - a week on I'm still on the comedown.

[@g.n.s.]

This is really awesome, Jim! I’ve been a huge fan of the whole CFB crew for years and years and I think this is the very first time I’ve seen a behind-the-scenes as comprehensive, informative, and enlightening. You’ll all do great, I believe in you!

[@mcfuddy2520]

Nice work brotha . Congrats on worlds . Love these behind the scenes videos please keep doing them . I got a feeling in my jellies that you are gonna have a really good world championship. Thanks for all your great content bud.

[@Thamnax]

If only airlines had Anthros chairs, your butt wouldn't hurt :D

[@JimDavisMTG]

True!

[@erickneisler]

Love these recaps Jim. I've never met Kai, but that news had me bawling. Then he wins a ptq on Sunday of course. What a Legend

[@Silverpicker]

Haha that’s me standing in line at the Ultimate Guard booth 😂

[@nickbmtg]

Love these Jim - some of my favourite content! Always look forward to them after the Pro Tours

[@Pug8]

When Kai was reflecting on his life and all the hall of fame members paying tribute to Kai was incredible. Hearing Finkel call him the Michael Jordan it just meant so much.

[@sparkplugbarrens]

Hey Jim, I was super happy I found a Tireless Tracker for you to sign and it was definitely my Highlight meeting you! It was incredible watching all the pros play. I unfortunately missed the announcement of the Kai Budde award and all Top8 games because the schedule for the event wasn't displayed anywhere, neither were the standings. Other than that it was an unbelievable experience and I will definitely visit the next peo tour in Europe.

[@TheCastThatEndsCreation]

I never comment on KZbin vids, but I enjoyed this video so much I feel like I have to. And I would’ve definitely been in your chat if I knew you were live haha! I love seeing behind the curtain of pt teams like this. What’s its like testing in the house, breakdowns of why you chose to play what, what you were thinking in drafts, etc… please keep recaps like these coming, and the longer the video the better. Also, how tf did y’all get so much product out in the middle of nowhere and how did yall get the cards for the decks? Just seems like a huge challenge since you don’t know what you’re playing going in. Anyways I love your content Jim, been following you since the scg days and I’m glad you’re finding success.

[@HaleG9]

Nice journey report! Thanks, Jim

[@amhaglos]

This is all very familiar to me, as a bunch of friends get together for a weekend playing board games (including m:tg commander), drinking beer, and eating. We've been doing it every year for a decade now, and the whole house part of this video is exactly what we enjoy so much in our gatherings. We alternate between the UK and mainland Europe, staying at places very like where Jim and company stayed. We've managed to stay in every country bordering the North Sea bar Norway.

[@WillyAndersen86]

Hey Jim, I met you there during day one! This kind of videos are awesome! It is so interesting to see the Con from the eyes of someone playing in the pro tour!

[@dizzzave357]

Red-eye flights to Europe DO suck. You get really tired like 20 minutes before they turn on all the cabin lights and wake you up to eat breakfast.

[@thornthallid950]

Nice video. I miss the old-school tournament reports, where the authors would write about their games, but also all the other stuff they did. It's a lost art, but this video had the same sort of feel to it👍🏻

[@fl33ce_]

Always love these jump! Glad to hear Nadu didn’t ruin your trip! Glad to hear you qualified!

[@Chickston]

Fun report, thanks for sharing the inside view of the best mtg players. Sad about Kai. He has the best hair. Finkel knows the pain.

[@joshuaforrest4135]

Such a great recap Jim! It’s great to see the effort mixed with the friendship and camaraderie

[@Dalmathus]

I love these vids, only problem is it makes me seriously jealous! Not many people get to travel and hang out with a massive group of friends who all enjoy the same hobby. Lucky man.

[@GeckoS-gaming]

Congrats Jim! Amsterdam sounds beautiful, glad you enjoyed your time there!

[@krystsiyanliashchuk8193]

Wow. What a video! Just unbielivable photos and atmosphere!

[@andrewp6738]

Congrats Jim! My hero

[@andrewp6738]

Oh, I take it back. Tenet isn’t “just alright” it’s a masterpiece.

[@JimDavisMTG]

@@andrewp6738 It was obviously on a small screen and during an overnight flight, maybe I'll give it another shot.

[@bkseventy]

Really love these recaps, Grats on making worlds, can't wait to watch that!!

[@chrisshaw5709]

I saw you there but didn’t see you outside of the play area to say hi! I placed 28th in the PTQ but didn’t qualify for the PT in day 2, was my first PTQ and your videos have definitely helped improve my play! I did look up during the day 2 draft and see Nassif watching me draft though which was super surreal!

[@ignacioalmonacid6153]

Congrats Jim, I saw the full Pro Tour and seeing you 2-4 surprised me, and then I saw you made day 2 and I was extatic! Congrats on making Worlds!

[@damohedianchi9834]

Thank you for the recap, It's fascinating (and admittedly sometimes somewhat surprising) to see pros like you guys rank cards. Like I'd have thought evangel and glyph elemental would be a lot better ranked, and really surprising to me to see them ranked so low in energy decks… Seems like infernal captor wasn't included in the eldrazi deck ranking, when experimenting with them myself they felt okay I thought, as it can make for some backbreaking swings with all the spawns and such, though admittedly it does make casting your big eldrazi harder

[@whattupmang]

The limited tier list from team meeting is beautiful. Love that info for my drafts… and will reference this for my channel. Thanks!

[@rotembcohen]

What a heartbreak news about Kai. Man, you rocked it these last few years at the pro tour, and you keep collecting these awesome memories from all of these training houses. Training with the true GOATs, something a casual like me can only dream about!

[@DevilmarGaming]

It's getting to the point where every pro tour I look forward to your recap more than the event itself!

[@shawncarter7342]

Some of my favorite MTF content: a view into the pro experience. Thanks Jim!

[@StaleBranflakes]

Good overview of the trip. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@thomaschoma8914]

Respect at leaving in the Windows frustration near the end.

[@mmertesfp]

Live for these recaps. For some idiot who played a PPTQ one time at his local store and won (but couldn't even make it to the PTQ because I was getting married that weekend) it's so nice to see the day-to-day reality of a big tournament. Congrats on the Worlds qualification

[@scottmacwatters]

These recaps are something I look forward to following each PT now. Keep it up.

[@gibof]

Love these. Glad you covered for worlds... best of luck!

[@eduardoparma1947]

Congrats on making into worlds! Rooting for you, you're the best :D

[@willie6278]

Awesome video! Congratulations, and keep it up 🎉❤

[@rockstaa13]

Glad you got to get a lock in for worlds.

[@natepriebe2647]

Keep killing it, Jim! Love seeing your continued success and congrats on the Ultimate Guard sponsorship 💪

[@brgz87]

As a someone from EU boonies, could not agree more, hate that everything is closed at lunch. It's because no one goes at lunch as usually people go to the city for work.

[@tiresome20]

Love these recaps my favorite videos of yours

[@Aleris21]

Reid's Gingerbread socks are amazing

[@Fantapew]

A couple weeks ago before the pro tour I mentioned in the stream that I would love to see the old greats like Finkel and Kai rock some storm and do well in the PT. Lsv even tweeted that Him, Kai and Jon were all playing the same 75 in storm. I was stoked as hell. After seeing the 33% WR of the deck, and even though I obviously have no input in this, I feel bad for them, lol. Hope things go well in the next ones boys

[@lihailaowai1381]

I always find these super interesting, love the behind the scenes look!

[@Pim-Emporix]

Heej Jim! I didnt have the guts to talk to you on friday XD i was behind you in line for pizza at like .. 16:30? Nice to see the recap :)

[@Thisnameisnottakenjk]

Nothing about Nielson's highly questionable multiple GRV's in the finals eh?

[@EqualParts3]

Dude. People own farms all over the world. Homestead life.

[@davidtate9181]

what a great video -- always love these.

[@BlackDragonStudios1]

so glad they made the award named after kai he seems like a nice guy and good magic player!

[@gamefreak203]

Where is this Airbnb? Looks very cool. Nice to see this recap :)

[@briankuczynski6884]

I WOULD have called Reid a fashion criminal for those socks, except that he hails from Sugarloaf, where I assume that such attire is basically the local uniform.

[@RafitoOoO]

8-8 as your worst pro tour is not too shabby

[@cross25011990]

Your Gruul Breach deck was so cool! :)

[@g.n.s.]

LSV is only in a few of the photos because he was gathering supplies to literally teleport there.

[@Empathictrout58]

Love the recaps of tournaments!

[@cannonspectacle5195]

"Thought-Knot Seer was a good card in 2014" TKS wasn't even printed then lmao

[@JimDavisMTG]

That’s how outdated it is

[@mxyrpancakes]

congratulations on making it to worlds!!!

[@shawnkayian8241]

go jim go! its cool you beat finkel!

[@Kal1voda]

Im not realy into modern, but im a big fan of watching Jim

[@brandonhoesli9630]

Great video! Love your stuff!

[@alexanderschiano2441]

Repping the skate safe shirt cool

[@alexanderschiano2441]

My brother did skate safe when we were younger. I liked your deck pick for the event, but we gotta get our draft game better, you 3-0/6-0 and you’ll top 8 everyone of those pro tours!

[@JamesKisau]

Subbed for the soundboard

[@halestrom88]

Congrats Jim! Hope you win worlds!

[@AnonYmous-pl4rr]

Going into constructed testing, do players have all of the cards for every deck their considering before getting to the house? Seems like a lot to acquire very quickly.

[@blade2718]

ANDOR IS SO GOOD! Congrats on requalifying, next one is gonna be your one!

[@MartinR31416]

Looking forward to this episode!

[@mattconw]

Can't believe Nadu dodged the ban

[@EltWilder]

Keep it going.

[@zippyspinifex]

Not from Europe, but I love how Americans always assume that not being open means you're losing money. No, in other Western countries, staff are paid a liveable wage, so it's actually expensive to keep a business open at certain times. 4pm is a terrible time for a Cafe to be open.

[@williamoreilly6650]

congrats on worlds!

[@eliashigham8901]

I have only ever heard bad things about Tenet, I’m surprised you heard it was good

[@WookieeBarber]

Honestly sounds super stressful to be content creator and participating in pro tours on the other side of the globe. But love to hear about it, nice recap.

[@uruigi]

Ah man I didn't see you. Would've loved to say hi!

[@ErikJansen-qw9zz]

You have to really be an American when you expect restaurants that serve dinner to open before 4pm and close after 9.30pm. Those are normal times to eat dinner. People would not visit at other hours if they were open because people don't eat dinner at those times. For instance, a burger and fries is not considered lunch over here. Lunch is a sandwich and there are plenty of places to get those.

[@justinrishel1742]

Congrats brotha

[@chrisjones1473]

Now it's time to win Worlds

[@PuggerLedford-oc3yj]

Good ole natu

[@senkali7383]

great content

[@bigstevegames]

I wish pro tours were pre-release limited kits or just constructed cause I don't draft enough and if I ever make it imma have to draft a ton. I've probably drafted 30 times in my life of playing magic for 10 years and I just feel like theres to much luck based on what you get and if someone next to you is picking the same colors etc.

[@slysi84]

Mad love to Kai, he was winning everything when I first started playing tournament Magic. He was at a GP I played at and dominated!!! #fuckcancer Just a quick question Jim approx how much does it cost to play in a foreign PT? Does Wizards help out at all or is it all down to the player?

[@allengaible6436]

This draft format is not fun or easy. I have decided to pick white aggressive cards and then hope to pair them with red, blue, or green in that order. Obviously if the eldrazi deck is open take it. But I don't try to stay open in this format, its a good white aggro deck, eldrazi, or crash and burn. The Netherlands is very beautiful. Trampoline and looking at the farm!

[@gamer7916]

With so many hate pieces against storm in the format, would it even be possible for storm to ever be competitive?

[@alaskan6907]

Sparkles.

[@evankraabel5415]

Tip for MH3 draft: If Chrysalis is in a pack, thats the pick.

[@mees8711]

What did you think of Andor? I personally found it to be one of the best series they’ve done recently.

[@JimDavisMTG]

It was a rewatch, one of the best things Star Wars has ever done, fucking phenomenal

[@tersecwalsingham5778]

Nice story.

[@astarte768]

90’s background crowd is killing Mr

[@LooseGooseGamer]

should i remove tenet from my watch sometime in the future list of movies

[@stevenmoore120]

A very American complaint that there were queues for the bathroom in a giant convention hall that had numerous bathrooms littered throughout. Although to be fair you will have had a much tighter schedule than I did and maybe couldn't afford the extra 1 minute walk. I have 100 complaints but bathrooms weren't one of them. I was so impressed with how clean and numerous the facilities were.

[@briannewhard-kg4rt]

Smash Worlds!

[@titanlord2000]

can we talk about the criminal offense of using discord through the web browser instead of the app? HEATHEN

[@tjc.9999]

When you have to draft with 10, do they give you an extra pack?

[@christianpearse6901]

Simon also cheated Javier out of the win, Javier couldn't be target after casting The One Ring

[@JonaxII]

11:50 is this an insider? Jan maurit smirkel? Sure, I give you the Jan, English uses the J differently. But the rest should be easy, no? Yann Moh-rits Merkel, Yunn Morrits merr-kell, something like that.

[@robertmorris4163]

😅 OTJ draft in real life
