Pro Tour Dragon's Maze - Day 1 Round 2

[@HailtotheKiin]

I absolutely love these commentators, so friendly and lively :)

[@stevencleere4912]

actually they remind me of Tastosis.... (for those who don't know who that it's Dan "Artosis" Stemkowski and Nick "Tasteless" Plott, professional Starcraft 2 commentators who live in Korea, one of whom is Day 9's big bro)

[@mattmakescovers]

The commentators deserve a raise. I really enjoyed their input.

[@ElMoss64]

39:50 The judge tells Piotr to untap the lands. Regardless of whether Piotr attempted to cheat or simply made a mistake, untapping was the correct thing to do.

[@TheRedSweater]

A breathe of fresh air to see players making jokes during a pro tour.

[@greyfoxoutdoors3135]

sean played blue whaaat

[@TheJohnathan117]

He may have lost but he won our hearts.

[@MidnaMistfire]

You can say what you want about the skill of day9, but at least he brings a personality to the magic scene that is very welcome in my opinion.

[@doomsday5278]

I love when it people are quite and people really get into the game

[@MarketResearchReading114]

Awesome, I'd heard about this match on day 9's channel after watching his mtg series, was awesome...also found the rest of the tourney which is awesome :D

[@ElMoss64]

[SPOILERS: DON''T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY GAMES ARE IN EACH MATCH] David Williams vs Jon Finkel Game 1 0:45 Game 2 5:47 Piotr Wald vs Sean Plott (Day[9]) Game 2 17:44 Game 3 27:01

[@MarketResearchReading114]

Oh... ya I hope no one got mad at day9 I thought it was a clever bit of marketing work, and...well it worked! I never even thought of following MTG's tourney set up until I saw him playing the online game. So I hope my glorious presence cuts some of that anger. Seriously though, hour long matches with casters talking about the decisions being made? The hell did I not know about this before, just an awesome amount of content.

[@Giby86]

Casual Sheldon Menery on the background there, with his Orzhov shirt. I would have said Simic.

[@Ducttapestuff]

Agreed, It's a refreshing break from the robotic mindset that tends to dominate the Pro Tours.

[@zengamer321]

You can always just go and ask him to let you read his card and he is forced to let you do it. You're allowed to take a bit more time checking the board position too. You're reasoning works for the other side too. Playing lands in back can obstruct you from seeing/reading lands. When it comes to attacking and blocking, you just move the attackers/blockers forward between the lands and other creatures. It's not like they're mixing lands and creatures together.

[@zengamer321]

Watching Day9 miss triggers reminds me of when I first started playing magic with Izzet. I just forget every trigger on the board.

[@bam_deadstroke7120]

Gotta love Day 9. That small talk though.

[@stevencleere4912]

Love day9, and holy shit, Pro poker player David williams.... (he was an MTG pro before poker, nice to see him back at MTG)

[@Ian-ig4ho]

Watching this in 2023... we didn't know how good we had it. "Canadian POY race? Yuuya Watanabe? Helene Bergeot? What are you talking about anon, get up we have an Arena open to play in."

[@Sparks9189]

I don't know why there's so much hate on Day9. He did not take somebody's place to the Pro tour, Wizards did not said to a PTQ winner "hey man you won you were great but sorry, your places goes to Day9". No, they invited him because Wizards wanted to introduce MTG to a new audience, and well, he did great. He knew he was not going to win the PT, but he was here to have fun and to show that Magic is fun.

[@swagcat8712]

Praise be to day nine

[@Pure-Born]

Just casually wathing mtg on youtube and than Day 9 apperars , Very good :D

[@loquay]

Oh for the +1/+1 on the weird you don't have to announce the trigger till it is relevant ie Damage step so when Sean said take 5 cause of ability he is perfectly fine it is like exalted triggers

[@Sedilkin]

I feel that ultimately it was the correct decision, In much the same way as magic online handles things. You CAN untap lands before you allow something to resolve. The difference is instead of something physically stopping you from casting something you shouldn't be able to, by making that mistake you give your opponent free information. Sean now knows of the Armada Wurm, but Piotr's plays are unaffected.

[@AIMLESS-NAMELESS]

Would really like to know what the conversation between finkle and his opponent after the game, I’m not the only one right

[@CaptainWalmart16]

Come on guys give day9 a break, hes a great guy and he got me into magic which im already on a good path to qualifying for the next pro tour :D. P.S. you shouldn't hate on a guy who is giving your favorite game a shit ton of spotlight from an awesome communtiy such as stracraft's

[@Jukren54]

wow! go Day9! nice to see gamer overlap happening!

[@Savior2k5]

Sean just started playing magic competitively, he has a few friends helping him, and depending on his passion for the game, he might become a good player.

[@jamesmaurer5280]

Question: around the 35:00 minute mark when Sean notices his mistake in not untapping his Blistercoil Weird the commentators are saying that it should be untapped from the first casting of Hidden Strings, are the commentators wrong or do I just not understand Magic? The first Hidden Strings has to be cast during Sean's original main phase which means that he has not declared attackers and his Blistercoil Weird is already untapped. Then, the second Strings would untap it, right?

[@tjw4763]

Sean is a math major Damon right he got that ruling right

[@Outermainstream]

I like Sean Plott. He isn't pro and looks like he is there to have a good time. Making the game look fun.

[@TheRedSweater]

I'm not sure if you're making a joke or referencing the comments to this video. But that's the OG way of playing lands.

[@Khazuki_]

Looks like it. Finkel's played poker too, lots of players good in one game are good in the other.

[@ShadowInTheSky2]

I think people need to ease up on Sean. He isn't a professional player and it is cool to see a celebrity from a different game come to Magic.

[@DivineXistence22]

what can someone do to obtain one of those tables for home play? i cant find a decent tablecloth/tables for mtg.. :(

[@zandadoum]

i agree he shouldnt be untapping those lands again, if not used... but for your information, "mana burn" was REMOVED quite some time ago...

[@dandunning5602]

It irritates me that Piotr Wald inverts the locations of his land and other cards.

[@SpectrumHazard]

+Dan Dunning It's a bullshit mindgame thing people do at a FNM I go to from time to time. It's so you have to ask to see cards and some people just won't because they're nervous. There's no good reason to do it that I see, so if you do it, you're just a douche.

[@pupsinsbarks]

+Richard Rominger it's actually how the game used to be played! if you look at older handbooks on how to play they have the lands in front. now lands go behind, and recently at my local game store judges have been asking people who play with the older rules to make the switch.

[@SpectrumHazard]

Alex White Oh yeah, I forgot about this comment. Yeah, some guy told me about it at the shop, and he was either wrong or that's a reason why people continue to do it. I would argue it is objectively better, in regards of accessibility, to have your non-land cards in front. I did figure out that it was the original way to have them set up.

[@darkworldpanda]

piotr:it was like 4 hours for entry to the USA. me: yep, he went through atlanta

[@goldtimerockandroll]

It costs a blue and a colorless but can be bought back for 3.

[@FluryofFlames]

Really not easy trying to find the videos that have the drafts in them... Put it in the title for the video please.

[@Gauche69]

I will cast my Armada Wurm without double white, and I will untap by hidden stringed wight of precinct six... Why not, right?

[@andreashandinberntsson4428]

Day[9] = Awesome. Magic: The Gathering = Awesome. Day[9] + Magic: The Gathering = So awesome that I fill the table! I just love that you can not, not smile around Sean.

[@Alfalfalfasprout]

is Piotr Wald Piotr from iMTG (the app)?

[@BASHMAN9t5]

its not the OG way. people claim it was in one of the starter booklets but no one seems to be able to find the booklet it was printed in (at least from my minimal research). you can layout your board however you want but i personally hate it because 1. It obstructs me from clearly seeing/reading your cards. I have a right to know all the cards on the battlefield at any given time. 2. Creatures need to be up in front to prevent confusion when it comes to attacking and blocking.

[@blueforlife8398]

day9 should be on another pro tour featured match

[@Alfalfalfasprout]

Why didnt he hidden strings, untap lands, swing, untap lands? hit for 3?

[@Savior2k5]

In magic there are enforced actions and if you chose to actions, in that case, Shaun could've CHOSE TO, and should have, but didn't, so they just skipped ahead.

[@Lightmane]

Wizards needs to give themselves more time to do these deck techs & draft techs. All the rushing, especially at the end, ruins the whole essence of what it's all about.

[@jakewarren4923]

Sean's cards be looking like slices of cheese

[@Dviperjr]

I have no idea where I am right now but it's Day9 :D

[@zandadoum]

He should have be forced to leave the lands tapped and use the generated mana on whatever he could. In the end he did something else and had 1 free land which otherwise he would not have available.

[@JJEMTT]

Ahk... :( I miss that then.

[@wavenp]

Indeed, I mean, it is a tournament, but it's still a game, nothing to get too serious about.

[@zandadoum]

Well, the judge is the law... I am not a huge rule expert so I might be wrong, and I certainly would not mind at a local tourney... but in a GP? If you tap you lands, they are TAPPED. whatever mana comes out of that: you either use it or loose it. He could not cast what he wanted to because he had the wrong mana, so he wasn't allowed to cast that, which I agree. But allowing him to untap the lands? That was a wrong move imo.

[@VulpineProductions9]

Day9 forgetting triggers. Just like the good days with Lobber Crew.

[@anthonypillarella]

You'd be surprised. Awhile ago there was a player who won a tournament by cheating, the check ended up being cancelled.

[@the_average_canadian]

Ahh back when you were allowed to put land in front...I'm really glad you can't do that anymore. And what? Sean is Azorius?

[@aznxknight]

Quickest first game ever.

[@NotConnor2580]

Sean plott " I hate blue" plays blue in pro tour

[@minojonte]

"And i want to kill the megadude." God i love Day9

[@hdjghasgaj]

Day[9]!! GO SEAN GO!!

[@Thabeanieboy]

Rashad Miller is the Morgan Freeman of the PT

[@GiveAcademy]

GOOO SEAN!!! (starts at 17:44)

[@indignantpie]

Game starts at 17:43

[@AIMLESS-NAMELESS]

Brutalizing Dave Williams, his entire match happened before that time LOL

[@candlehawk]

I'm surprised by how loose Day 9 played. Mistakes like that are made at FNMs, not at a Pro Tour.

[@NormCantoral]

kind of sad that the commentators know that day9 is a popular streamer, but they didn't tell the viewers WHAT he streams, lol. talk about protecting their game. they were like "what is sc2? screw sc2 !!"

[@kiranearitachi]

DAY 9 YAYAYAYAY

[@MrBojangles431]

Brought here by Day9

[@isambo400]

34:18 Day9 drops his pen, cameraman unsure whether to follow pen or hand.

[@TheProjekton]

They had no need to promote Sc2. Day 9 was here to promote Magic.

[@spectergohan]

Sean Plott plays like I do lol, everything outloud.

[@vlenkov38]

Ok, i got Sean's case, it's interesting. But his opponent - Piotr - i don't believe you can get so high by cheating.

[@Khazuki_]

David Williams is running a 5 color deck. No sympathy from me for getting screwed game 1.

[@befreud]

Piotr got there by "skill" (he cheated like four times in that game...)Sean had a special invite from wizards because of his positive influence on the MTG community...

[@DerpWarriorGames]

Day[9] :D

[@befreud]

Piotr most likely didn't cheat his way on the Pro Tour, but he did make quite a few "misplays" in this game that would lead you to believe that he's cheating....

[@Cryxboy]

The judge was pretty much camped out at Piotr and Sean's table. That's just embarrassing.

[@Tom_Schuster]

OMG OMG OMG I love Day 9

[@eddie8080]

Not anymore...

[@Emperorerror]

Fucking god damnit I'm still pissed.

[@allnet20]

DAY 9 :D

[@darkartproductions]

I get that non-pros being allowed to go to the Pro-Tour is a cool thing, but it shouldn't be a feature match. It's not interesting to watch people arguing over obvious shit, imo.

[@l1fe_l1ne24]

Deep

[@ussailornavyengineer]

day9 plays magic the gathering also!! holy shit???????

[@RSPlasticabg25]

He still had to qualify...

[@rawrified101]

Not hidden strings, hands of binding. Ya those where both pretty terrible.

[@Trueflights]

plays and is good at are two totally different things. A person shouldn't be allowed in a pro tour if they don't know basic rules of the game.

[@artydragon520]

I have to know, why does everyone hate Sean?

[@paradoxdriver4094]

+DragonicQueen Xx Because he's not a Pro but is playing in a Pro Tour off a media invite by WotC. Basically, he doesn't "deserve" to be there, and people get salty about that.

[@13191215]

But the Pro Tour stands for Promotional Tour and not Professional Tour... That he's gotten an invite just proves that they want to promote the game even more. There's absolutely nothing to be salty about. xD

[@elvebrothergenju]

Oh Day9, you're so famous yet no one calls you by your real name. What a fucking shame.

[@mountainde09]

@27:30 ...so Punny

[@baneBITN]

and draw both

[@vlenkov38]

How people with such playing level can get in ProTour? No offence, honestly. Just wondering.

[@kakesarchery]

argrophobia costs 3 35:58

[@christophmuller3083]

9:40 muahaha

[@FixYoSelf]

I cringed whenever Sean forgot about the cipher :/

[@TheKazzerscout]

They're just rather annoying. Makes it difficult to look at power/toughness of creatures and read special rules.

[@ExtraCarnex]

Thats because he isnt a pro player. the only reason he is here is because is pretty internet famous and they thought he might bring in some more viewers.

[@le_fantomas]

But he won...

[@JJEMTT]

39:12 WTF? You can't just tap a bunch of mana try to cast something, find out that you couldn't and then untap the mana again. You fkn get mana burned if you can't use that mana. Zzz.

[@tuber856]

6 mana kill all your creatures or 2 mana kill one creature so good lol

[@Emperorerror]

Wald is such a cheating bastard, Jesus. Although it has to be said that it's actually pretty damn impressive that he can get than many cheats into one match -.-
