MTG: The Rap (2012)

"you talked to any girls?" "no." "me neither." is such a perfect line.

"the only thing I ain't beaten is my social anxiety" to tie it up.

I love this guy, very clever great sense of humor.

[@montekristo643]

can you explain it?

[@MaeseEidos]

@@montekristo643 Sure, Alex Bertoncini was a notorius cheater in the pro player circuit. One of the famous (caugh in camera) moments is "Alex Bertoncini Cheats at SCG Kansas City" (If you search that in youtube it will appear) where he says to the judge he has extra lands in play due to playing 2 explores. The joke is, he has more than 2 extra lands in play.

[@Foyfluff]

I was just wondering how many people would get that joke. Had to research just to make sure that actually happened before 2012 or if it was a wild coincidence (It's not)

[@BW-CZ]

@@Foyfluff Could you explain the joke to me please? Would be much appreciated.

[@Foyfluff]

@@BW-CZ It's a reference to Alex Bertoncini, sometimes referred to as Bertoncheaty on account of his serial cheating offences that led to an 18-month, then later permanent, DCI ban. In one famous video, Alex plays an explore on turn 2, putting him to 3 lands, and on his next turn plays a land (4th), an explore and makes the land drop (5th), then ponders, resolves it, and plays another land (6 lands on turn 3, this is the cheat) before passing the turn. The person recording the game simply asks "what turn is it?" To which Bertoncini immediately replies "two explores" while pointing at his graveyard. In doing so, he's acknowledging that having 6 lands is unusual, but reasons it away by having 2 explores, even though that still doesn't add up. However, he's so casual about it that his opponent, who has just been cheated, sticks up for him and tells the person recording the match "no it's right, he's good". And thus was born the joke "two explores"
