Pro Tour Fate Reforged Quarterfinals (Modern): Lee Shi Tian vs. Antonio Del Moral Leon

[@amacuro]

Funny how Antonio was pronouncing the names of the cards better than the "translator" hahaha

[@Drecon84]

Lee Shi Tian is really one of the best players on the tour right now. I think I'm a fan.

[@ChrisJones-xd1re]

More fun to watch Lee Shi Tian shuffle than watch him play? Nah, just kidding. But he does shuffle well

[@jimmyjacobs291]

Awesome match a must see if you are a die heart magic player. I love matches that are long it's exciting.

[@Lemonducky86]

Did the commentators not notice that if Lee played the Eidolon he would be unable to play another spell the rest of the game?

[@xAnonymousss]

If he played the eidolon he would have a blocker for snapcaster mage. Either that, or Leon wouldn't even attack at all, leaving eidolon in play and making him unable to do much either as he was on 4 life.

[@ChrisJones-xd1re]

+Lemonducky86 You are correct. Leon could still cast Splinter Twin. at 2RR, without any damage if he drew it. As must have become so abundantly clear to Lee the first time he played an Eidolon, Leon could far more easily play the waiting game. Not only that, at 4 life, Leon could survive casting a Lightning Bolt, and Lee, at 2, could not

[@GotCubesGames]

Just realized that Rending Volley from DTK may tear apart Deceiver Exarch.

[@MrGarruk123]

+GotCubes No shit

[@YabukiJoe69]

Why Flame Slash in this deck?

[@mrdelirious8706]

Spellskite. If you're not playing Kiki-Jiki (he isn't), you basically can't combo off with a 'skite on the table. Also, it gets Linvala (same problem but even worse), although that's less relevant with Pod gone.

[@SynOCNZ]

28:19, I see Jesus on Antonio's deck, illuminati

[@juangomez2996]

Hahaha, true!

[@prn_Melatonin]

Antonio looks like someone who only sleeps for 2 hours a day.

[@abidabdelaziz9936]

Like a bawse!

[@redcap7547]

Reading the t1 serum vision Lee Shi Tian plss

[@RyanDotEXE]

What was that game two even.

[@guitarblade1891]

game 3 when lee cracked the fetch land before drawing the molten rain it looked like the top card on his deck was rift bolt. if he wouldnt have cracked the fetch until after his draw he could have won

[@thundermonty]

+guitarblade1891 I mean results-oriented thinking like that is probably a trap. Cracking the fetch was technically correct because it thins out the deck. Whatever is on top is unknown and therefore irrelevant.

[@alanyuan8565]

Lee Shi Tian should have played the Edilion at the very end.

[@jinminghuang1056]

+Breathe1234 why? he would killed him self if he don that because he was on 2 life he could't cast any spells if he played that edilion and Antonio has a creature can block it if Edilon attack so he would basicly lock him self out and wait for death.

[@alanyuan8565]

Edition can attack

[@TopdeckNuII]

that doesnt work because if eidolon attacks he leaves himself dead to the lethal crackback. antonio can just use the 1/4 to block lee's 2/2 for infinite turns until he draws a splinter twin which lets him win the game. furthermore if he attacks with the eidolon, antonio can just send the snapcaster over without fear of removal because lee can't cast spells

[@alanyuan8565]

makes sense

[@Rikku__97]

Viva España!

[@lorenzorizzo7785]

My god if a player like Leon can win a PT everyone can... Played the first two match horribly...

[@jayceehampton6121]

Why are these judges rushing these players? They do realize that is more pay for them.

[@Ballpython77]

Splinter Cheat should be banned. if your going banned the Pod, banned this cheap win card.

[@ObviOusMe]

Go play pokemon you clown

[@EloquentandRarity]

They banned pod for a reason that would not be the same for why they would ban twin.

[@TankP0wnz]

Twin would only get banned if everyone started playing twin

[@Ballpython77]

which will happen

[@ObviOusMe]

Some delusional kids in here if you think a 4 mana aura would get banned cos it sees a lot of play... fuck it let's ban everything and play pokemon
