Pro Tour Dragon's Maze - Day 1 Round 1

[@piethrower91]

Ciphering stolen identity at the end on the woodlot crawler made me so happy that combos like that can come out in this format :D

[@MisterFSmilee]

Dragons Maze is my favourite set!

[@snowblazer12]

combos like that are easier to pull off in limited play. because high cost cards like stolen identity are actually playable compared to standard and because its a 40 card deck it makes the combo easy to put together.

[@thesamuraiman]

Max Sjoblom vs Andre Muller, Game 3 was nice to watch. I love Dimir.

[@mrjpeters244]

Am I the only one who saw this in their feed and was excited to see standard, when all of a sudden, a wild draft appeared.

[@KeepingTheBlade7]

Thank you for making the audio louder, but please check to make sure the A/V is in sync next time! :)

[@kiDchemical]

I always played like that for years, everybody used to back in the day. I recently switched to creatures etc in front of lands since I got back into playing in deference to the new school.

[@zevenBeast]

In the early days of MTG that is how many players were taught to set up the field. It took me a while to get used to playing my lands on the bottom and I play with friends who never made the switch.

[@finalshade14]

loving that deck

[@americanbystandard]

that Luis G2 was so clutch

[@slayeroffilth45]

No because not only was it how they were taught for a long time this was the standard it was not switched until later in mtg

[@alexpoobum]

as a newish player i really wish they would enlarge the cards more often so we can see what creatures do etc..

[@tafoya87513]

That Hydra was great

[@joeyhathaway8447]

These games are in limited format, i.e. using cards pulled from booster packs. Shock lands are actually not played all that often in this format, because they are "rare" cards, and most players simply don't come across them during the draft.

[@Jarrheadd00]

I agree with you. At my prerelease, I went Golgari/Dimir. The Dimir was amazing for counters and removal, as well as Deathcult Rogue.

[@jeffreybender4416]

i love seeing a dimir deck put in work

[@DCsk8rgoelz]

thats why he is doing it. even if it isnt a significant advantage, it is still just enough of an irritation/confusion that it can make the opponent play something badly or miss something on the board.

[@7mean7bunny7]

I am a huge fan of LSV but I agree that the lands in front thing is more PV's thing. I'm glad he chose to go back to the old way in the Theros PT.

[@killersrage]

new respect for dimir, wow.

[@ElMoss64]

Luis Scott-Vargas vs Thomas Rickarby Game 1 0:59 Game 2 4:49 Max Sjoblom vs Andre Muller Game 1 19:18 (Ends immediately) Game 2 22:45 Game 3 30:28

[@Tholrek]

These videos used to be a great place to learn about to cards and the sets, with more card images. Now it feels somewhat esoteric.

[@EverythingWentSideways]

"i will become it"

[@kyokopersonal]

He does a few things. This is known as penspinning. The tricks he did were the sonic, infinity, and a shadow. Have fun.

[@Kh0nch3]

i think that people have a problem looking at the format as guilds, and then disrespect dimir. dimir contains blue and black, and their combination can be devastating, especially in a slower format, such as limited. at my prerelease, no one picked dimir, so i took one looking at getting removal, evasion and shenanigans. ended up top 8, cause it can adapt very quickly to any kind of threat. its not dimir, its a strong BU control :D

[@RichterVonFuchs]

it's from olden days, almost everyone used to do that. There's no rule against it, it doesn't matter how they do it as long as they don't purposely try to obscure cards.

[@elliemay1748]

Hello from the future. There is a rule against this now :)

[@Emperorerror]

Well it means that opponents won't remember which cards you just drew etc, and allows you to keep seeing all your cards and therefore keep them in mind, and then you just get in the habit.

[@deadeye1392]

I don't do that but it doesn't bother me. Ive even seen a few that play with them on the side in a column lol

[@Piriatehat]

I use to play a boros deck in Rakados sleeves now I have them in the right sleeves.

[@ChicanoHispano]

Why dont they ever change the counter on any of the unleash creatures. if you choose unleash when brought out does it not get a counter?

[@blazingangel623]

29:35 how the hell does he so that thing with the pen? Cause I wanna do it...

[@spellister]

I see that BDM follows the simic combine just like me.... only thing is i dont know if you also collaberates with a few izzet mages because that does get my favorite tricolor kinda decks going of RUG. the way i see it is both are furthering their knowledge which is goes along with both of their guilds goals. just in a roundabout way.

[@dlive4409]

Noob question because I just started...can someone please tell me why im not seeing many dual lands? last time I checked eyes were fine O.o

[@gabrielverdon1]

Lands in front really flusters my jimbobs. Hardcore flusterage.

[@ouroboricform]

that's the original way to play magic

[@Aspartem]

Hm, i don't know. They can mix it up, but the it has to be clear. Gamestate has to be trackable and if you think your opponent is trying to trick you into something i'd instantly call a judge.

[@666Kazekage666]

that rustles the hell out of my jimmies, only played one person who played like that though

[@tuber856]

i think it could be for mobile phones with small screens

[@crayola396]

well, actually its the opposite of amateur. Only the veterans set it up like that, because that was the common set up in the oooooold days of magic.

[@assasinilu]

Most of the "older" magic players do this, as this was the way people did it as magic started.

[@hachnslay]

Were the lifetotals reversed? ... i don't get it.

[@makeeno]

I was just about to comment about that.

[@Griffen25]

The Audio / Video sync is OUT AGAIN, could you please fix this.. it makes the viewing far less enjoyable

[@dance4lifenow]

selesnya sleeves; dimir deck ... that was baffling!

[@Emperorerror]

Oh, sorry. I just assumed it was a comment about card flicking.

[@filip3220]

ten pentillion is how to pronounce the number of permutations.

[@masonashlock201]

That guy? THAT GUY? HE'S FUCKING LSV SHOW RESPECT! xP

[@Freakasaurous]

Everyone, reply to this comment your guild. Mine's Golgari.

[@Trismegistus4295]

Azorius... but actually i'm playing a fragment of alara (grixis)

[@deansghoolman5409]

simic

[@vanory1997]

Gruul. First two color i've ever played, and only aggro deck I enjoy when im not playing my 3-color controls.

[@nnooooooooooooo]

TrentCallenTV Selesnya. I'm just going to make like, 2,000 birds and swing for... A lot.

[@fdmajora2311]

I roll golgari, dimir, and in group battles, orzhov. Yep, I am that guys

[@downsjmmyjones101]

The OCD is strong with this one.

[@azurewario]

It double cant be blocked...

[@AustinDoggie]

Anyone else annoyed how that guy plays with his lands in front of his other permanents? So annoying!

[@kloklify]

No,he used to play normally,he started this ridiculousness at this PT.

[@masonashlock201]

144p... that exists?

[@GToul13]

LSV FTW!

[@riseandfallofrome]

its the reject video quality for people who run their computers using hamsters on wheels XD

[@TheHiddenmist4]

lol is that morello? are you actually morello?

[@spectergohan]

My GOD that guy has massive moobs.

[@FoogieX10]

They never supply the player with proper tokens...

[@SpaceMormon]

LSV would be a terrible first match in your first Pro Tour XD

[@R0bknowsbest]

this was draft

[@bettyman411]

18:10 Lsv's face oh man

[@5612Infernal]

It's a strategy to play whit lands up lol

[@funk541]

DIMIR ftw

[@xXxcelticwarriorxXx]

Ayah, lot of the the kids play dat way.

[@TwiistedTempo]

Rashad Miller is a boss

[@StephenSolid]

Its the OG way of playing magic.

[@Itsrudyyy]

Josh!!!!

[@darktanislee7998]

MULLER ...............!!!!!

[@johnnyjost27]

ya they fucked up with the life totals

[@pirate0bloodyskull]

its these damn hipster magic players. Thats "how magic used to be played" I've been told.

[@kimtollefsen7678]

Jesus that Luis guys constant shuffeling is Soooo annoying :P

[@MrDitchable]

Who the hell plays their lands above their spells??? That's backward amateur shit.

[@Vo1ceofTreason]

these guys commentating the magic game could and should commentate all sports.

[@leonmrs16]

Just fire the audio guy....

[@panos907]

whats the annoying thing about it??????? thats how they were taught to play.

[@devon11ist]

I hope you're kidding...

[@JakeNeutgens]

They act like this is poker lol

[@roberthagerman6371]

why cant wizards videos ever... EVER! have good audio? WTF!!!

[@eyeseaweed]

[@tigerpaws111]

[@bencheshire]
