[@Jedicake]

Another VEEDEO to watch Mengu

[@Shiyun777]

I'm here to watch both of them lol shota yasooka also makes videos on KZbin

[@Xxxtheenditsdeathxxx]

Here to see Shouta

[@GeorgeAlone2277]

he's so baby

[@bunnystew]

13:12 if you're wondering why the thumbnail is Melissa Detora

[@vacant3875]

there is a minute clip interview with melissa detora in the video idk why it shows up as the thimbnail

[@MegaLaban12345]

Esper dragons was so dope.

[@sumyunguy5832]

thumbnail misleading

[@danielrazo450]

Ohhhh... I thought Melissa DeTora was playing in the Top 8...

[@kiba6601]

thumbnail is melissa

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

That Tireless Tracker is doing some work!

[@challengeaccepted809]

did Shota ever take the 3 points of damage from Painful Truths at 18 min?

[@KiddyCut]

at 20:00 it is corrected i think. At least Shota loses 3 life without any game action, right before the 4 power tireless tracker attacks.

[@hersh1286]

Did Andrea Mengucci only tap an island and a plains at the 7:33 mark to cast reflector Mage? Seems odd. What am I not seeing?

[@hersh1286]

+IanTheReader Oh that makes alot of since. Thanks.

[@JakeMGolle]

Melissa Detora thumbnail?

[@Drecon84]

Sylvan Advocate: The green Tarmogoyf

[@Fatblue246]

+Drecon84 wha...what? You do know goyf is green right??? And the cards are like completely different in how they work.

[@Drecon84]

+Fatblue246 I've heard people call it blue... In all seriousness though, they're both often 2 mana 4/5 creatures. Start off small and get larger when the game moves to the later stages. There are a lot of similarities. You could argue Advocate is better though, as she also pumps up all your creature lands.

[@modernminded5466]

+Drecon84 - Take this from a Jund player, Goyf is a 4/5 T3 more often than not.

[@ChungIsATL]

I wonder why he decided to take out the 2 languish? It seemed so good against this match up when he had it

[@Arvensa]

+Jon I guess he thought he was gonna snag the threats out of his opponent's hand and the wipe would be redundant? I'm no pro, but I disagree with taking out Languish.

[@decimai9028]

At this point in the competition each player knew the other's decklists. Shota was likely considering that Megucci would have definitely brought in counterspells (negate, but mainly invasive surgery) and probably didnt want to risk wasting 4 mana to do nothing, as it gets countered by mengucci's one-mana counterspell then follows up with a collected company to flood the board afterwards.

[@DebtToTheDeathless]

23:52 shota yasooka taps his blue black land and his basic instead of tapping both basics is there a reason what if he had drawn a grasp of darkness

[@DanDjembe]

still can't believe he top decked that scorn

[@siegelink9549]

what exactly is Bant Company?

[@HandsomeJules]

White Green with a splash of blue , that uses the card Collected Company. The blue is used to play control cards

[@arran2264]

Julian Naiken and Jace, and reflector mage, and bounding Crassis....so like a third the creature base as well 😂👌🏻

[@PovZ123]

They always pronouce Dragonlord Ojutai wrong. Its O-joo-ti. Not O-ja-ti.

[@modernminded5466]

+Cleversided - I'm quite sure it's actually you pronouncing it incorrectly in this case.

[@itsacakewalk6028]

shouta's guru basics ♥♥♥♥$$$$$

[@crazycameramanyo1362]

that was awesome bye jace hi jace

[@bariltrailette]

Why chandra deal five damage 1/4 of the hp amd jace dont mill 15 card 1/4 of the deck?

[@Redvexer]

such klickbait

[@yohanesparuntu4980]

Coming from 2030 and Shoota Mengu rematch in the finals of Pioneer Horizons 2 Pro Tour!

[@snoppkaparN]

Damn, the way Mengucci shuffles and touches the edges of the cards in his hand really stresses me out.

[@mostashioavacado4813]

lots of counter magic, why does no one put atleast 1 Geae's Revenge on their deck?

[@159RaMa159]

Wow, dat clickbait thumbnail

[@YoshikikiOG]

GRANDE MENGU

[@TheJohnyTron]

where girl at

[@MrGarruk123]

+ObiJohn 13:12

[@TheJohnyTron]

+MrGarruk123 oh, ty

[@DanDjembe]

oooooh I think he boarded out the languishes because he expected invasive surgery to come in.

[@zimoy.701]

OMG slightly younger mengu

[@djrowe73]

I wish they'd take Randy Buehler off the coverage team. He just doesn't understand the game well enough anymore. So much of what he says is just wrong. He doesn't even recognize a lot of the cards. :-(

[@anonymoususer69]

He's one of the best ever and while this match may not be his best commentary he usually offers some good insight

[@baxter740]

Who really needs to be off the coverage team is rich Hagon. That guy is awful

[@Kikxz]

+Daniel Rowe i agree with this. they need to trim the fat. hehehe

[@monolith94]

Now there isn’t even a coverage team

[@joshe4436]

If only wizards cared about the players

[@RoboJessus724]

lol wizards ya dun goofed

[@jeromeofmarmite8914]

Ughhh I hate menguchi

[@chrisgiglio5157]

first... again

[@littlerugaard243]

game two why didn't yasooka lose life for painful?

[@laproductiondescaves]

+Jacob Marley good question, i was also wondering? probably forgot to write it down or somethgin, its pretty big considering he cast it for 3 i think

[@littlerugaard243]

They caught up with it later on it looks like... just took them like... 5 minutes or so...

[@Kikxz]

hahaha thirsty nerds

[@MeestaBojangles]

+Leonardo Cruz How else can I tap my mono-black deck.
