It's nice having LSV doing commentary although sucks for him:P Otherwise I usually find the Pro Tour commentary lacking compared to the SCG-Open commentary, which also involves Legacy and is I guess a bit more advanced. But Cedric Philips and Patrick Sullivan makes an excellent team imo. *edit* That last game was just sad, Jacob drew almost all lands and birds. Shaun didn't draw that well either but his answers matched up good, but yeah, I can agree that this game was kinda slow. If you want a good intense final watch Shuhei Nakamura vs Yuuya Watanabe player's championship 2012.

At around 29:30 you can see the commentators along with their names. They are Luis Scott-Vargas, Brian David-Marshall and Rich Hagon. As far as I know the latter two are WOTC employees. BDM came to wizards from being involved with comics and then being one of the first magic tournament organizers I think. Dunno much about Rich Hagon. LSV is basically a pro Magic Player that used to be Editor at Channel Fireball.

These voice commentaries do not at all help newcomers to the game. Its like they are commenting with lingo just for veterans. Which doesn't really make any sense since seasoned players don't need their commentary to follow the games. They would get more people into these vids if they spoke more newb friendly. Just my advice.
@blindghostraven10 жыл бұрын
It is easy to understand that point of view. However, beginning players should not start by watching high level play. For one it makes a person attempt to understand complex interactions prior to understanding simple game mechanics. Their 'lingo' is mostly referencing the players background as well as the history of the game and individual cards. Sports broadcasters do this as well. Yet it is impossible to believe that professional sports arenas are the venues to introducing an amateur to the sport.

I agree blindghostraven! There are lots of formats on Magic, and obviously Modern aren't the best to watch by players without at least some background on Magic! SRNF, the commentaries are exactly that! They are commenting the match, they aren't there to explain every single play, card, decision, rules... That's not why they are there! It's almost like watching a sport channel, expecting that the commentaries were about the game rules!... Just like anyone that are starting at Magic probably wouldn't start playing Modern, that same person shouldn't try to understand advanced mechanics when they didn't even know the basics! That's why Standard is a really nice format to start with! Both playing and watching matches! If you watch a Standard Tournament you will noticed that there is much more "accessible" to those who are starters at Magic!
