[OP9] Commentary w/ Clyde | Blackbeard vs Blackbeard | Hiroshima CS Top Semi-Finals

[@zoltanpap3980]

I'm also curious about what you think about the last turn, specifically: The player who had the penultimate turn topdecked a teach, and had 1k counter. Swing 5 life. He plays teach, locking an opposing teach, and now he has 4 blockers, 1 life and 1k counter. The opponent's attackers are a teach, leader and burgess, the other teach is locked. That's 3 attacks against 4 blockers. Vasco shot needs atleast 3 don to become an attacker, mansherry needs 5. Making only one of them an attacker is never enough, because of the 4 blockers, and if you commit 8 don to make 5 attackers, you can only swing either 5-5-7-burgess-teach (and one 5 gets countered), or 5-6-6-burgess-teach (where the 5 also gets countered). This play only loses to a removal event (of which we've already seen 5 or 6), or a 2 card combo, both of them being less likely than the opponent not being able to counter out of an 8k attack, atleast looking at thrash, this play wins on life count.

Could have ko the vasco after the teach block on that last turn and swung both teaches for game since the opponent blocked with teach first instead of vasco

[@champ80dante29]

how do u ko vasco?

[@ClydeTCG]

Yea I caught that after re-watching too. He could have used both Van Auger + Doc Q to KO the Vasco Shot and then swung 12k & 13k

[@austinbyrd674]

@@champ80dante29augur and doc q in hand

[@marcowish]

It would have been the best line, but his opponent had 7k counter in hand

Correction on One comment u made towards the middle of the game when they started chaining 10beards, u said that the BB on the left chose not to swing wit their 10beard after they dropped the second one however that teach couldn’t swing regardless bc of the opponents 10beard

[@ClydeTCG]

Yeah, I caught that in the replays as well. I kept mentioning how they chose not to attack with the existing 10c Teach but forgot they were stunned haha. Too many Teaches being dropped made me forget!

[@dustpannobroom]

@ yea, also personally (and this could jus be bc sim players aren’t the best) I don’t hate the BB mirror. Feels like u jus have to know where to push/what to dig for and when to dig for it and it’s pretty back n forth. I’ve won on both curves by jus playing it smart as I feel answering a 10beard wit your 10beard is a lil more important than dropping the first 10beard however once I again could be wrong bc sim player base is wild

[@matttran7161]

I feel like Mirror Miserability should be a segment of every meta deck profile/breakdown. Every meta deck just feels awful. Doffy? Bounce duel. Bonney? Just wait 30 minutes and have judge count cards in life and remaining in deck.

Ohhh my friend u clearly never played gecko in 06 that shit was fire
