Pro Tour Journey into Nyx - Round 12 (Block) - Reid Duke vs. Andrea Mengucci

Andrea Mengucci held the King of the Hill seat for seven of Friday's eight rounds, now in round 12 he was back to compete for the throne against Reid Duke.

Zac Hill's first words in this video were, "Yeah I mean." Take a drink every time he says that, and you will soon be very drunk. lol

I take a drink every time he says, "Jenagos"

[@MrGunwitch]

I think Reid should've shipped that Game 3 opening hand. Any hand that can't interact with a turn 3 Xenagos is a mulligan. He needed either thoughtseize, downfall, or dissolve (plus the untapped mana to cast them) or its a mulligan. Turn 1 forest just isn't going to cut it, and sure enough Mengucci's unanswered Xengos on turn 3 was just able to snowball an advantage that Reid couldn't come back from.

jenagos vs. polish crusher

[@ryanhansen9779]

Many years later and I still don't know why our commentator says the name Xenagos so strangely, in the form SHZZEN-A-Gos. Otherwise, a great game here and such a fun time for Magic. Satyrs, Hydras, big monsters and Coursers. Such a cool rotation.

I don't blame Reid Duke at 47:11 , if I saw what I saw after a Xenagos Ultimate, I too be like crap, I am screwed :S

[@MrR3DP4ND4]

lol Reid in the last round. The announcers started talking about memes?

[@TheMerov]

Reid needs a haircut ... or has he been attending a 90's party?

[@TheTexasDice]

Just draw your entire playset of Hero's Downfall before serious scrying Duke, no problem.

[@pietro750]

Grandissimo Andrea! Arato pure il boss Reid Duke!

[@thekilgoretrout3000]

[@handymannie]

Two good looking guys playing MTG against each other... I need to become a pro

[@shortpants9584]

During the live look in why was the guy of the right(forgot his name)'s hand revealed?

[@Ethryas]

If you mean Yuuya Watanabe, it will be because those cards were technically knowable to his opponent (most likely because of the Courser he had in play meaning each of his draws were visible, and possibly because of an earlier Thoughtseize or Brain Maggot), and because Yuuya is a gentlemen and awesome guy, he's keeping them face up so his opponent doesn't have to write down or remember them.

[@shortpants9584]

Cool thanks

[@bucknasty788]

He thought that he was so much better that his opponent didn't even have a chance even if he knew his hand the whole time.

[@blorkblob2645]

Reid looks... off
