[@admirallarry5466]

anyone else watching for nostalgia purposes?

[@jameshock5924]

My favorite pro tour so far. It's crazy how dominant the set was in constructed.

[@ronaldrockmann2032]

Admiral Larry I loved this set

[@patrickbuerke1390]

Admiral Larry Love me some Siege Rhino

[@patrickbuerke1390]

Yo it's 2020 now and I'm baaaaaaaack

[@hachi9404]

Miss Khans block a lot. was the set I got in. Seriously a well designed draft set (also just cool ingeneral)

[@Drecon84]

First look at the new standard. Looks promising.

[@Carlos.Flores]

Does anyone have the decklist for Levy?

[@kennethacuna9996]

how can you have "6" in binary?

[@anond2015]

110

[@ДаниилГолаев]

[@TheblackhawkG]

20:18 So many flaws in these statements... 1. Hero's Demise? 2. Sarkhan is indestructible 3. Neither of the commentators noticed

[@billyf3160]

+Billy F I meant 28:18

[@Restokiki]

You can Hero's Downfall with the ability on the stack, where Sarkhan is not indestructible.

Levy? Why do you run 29 land.

[@dbzwarlord]

How does a hall of fame MTG player bring a control deck with no card draw to a pro-tour?

[@TheTexasDice]

All Chandra Pyromaster ever does is basically 0: Draw a card

[@Tarigal]

Uhh why does levy play an evolving wilds?

[@QuidBeliever]

it also lets him play 4 chained to the rocks main since you need to enchant a mountain for it, im guessing thats the main reason for it

[@LPchief]

plus, it might fill his graveyard more for delve cards like murderous cut

[@QuidBeliever]

Nick Smans I dont think Levys list runs cut

[@LPchief]

Fair enough

[@jamesa.fitzpatrick1566]

flipflipflip. Thank God that seems to be going away.

[@pedestrianme]

This is a match up of starkly different skin care regimens. Levy won.

[@awphatt]

Stark-ly different? I see what you did there.

[@maidencanada8201]

um LANDS ARE PERMANENTS 10:18

[@jeremysnowden1286]

God starks constant hand shuffling is so annoying

[@anond2015]

right, "aggro"

[@rickgrimes6947]

lol i know how when i watch this live everyone rages when zac hill is commentating but i don't know why know one rages at rashad miller he is so terrible he makes to many mistakes to be considered a professional commentator nuff said hate me if you want

[@jackfrost96]

well at least he sounds more like a commentator and not some nerd constantly trying to sound smarter than everyone. plus randy adds enough insight

[@33bigmoney]

um ub sucks, no counters or mass removals and a weak win condition lol

[@maxguim64]

azzans Pearl Lake Ancient is a joke, just look at it. It cripples you to be returned to hand, if you compare it with other bombs in previous standard formats, it is the least worse, but definitely not a good card.

[@N0VA_30M3]

god enough with the bloody micro hand shuffling, it looks and sounds so stupid

[@StealthAngel667]

Just a nervous habit for most players.

[@robbynoneofurbusiness3298]

It's not even a nervos-habit, it does have a use. If you have a counterspell or another "answer" card in hand you keep on shuffling your hand instead of just staring at it thus singlaing to your oppoent you migth have a in-hand trick. Most newer and/or bad players will keep the most recently drawn card in the corner of heir hand, in order it has been draw, good players notice this and keep an eye on the oppoent if they are keeping an eye on the new card as it may be a problem/answer. Older and/or better players keep shiuffling thus not letting their oppoent know whick is the new card and at what card they are lookign when they check their hand. TLDR; shufflin' your hand has a actually high-lv tournament use.

[@StealthAngel667]

Robby Noneofurbusiness Technically that's its use yes, however doing it constantly is not necessary for just that use.

[@IXPrometheusXI]

I don't mind that players do it when I'm playing, but there's no reason to put the freaking mike close enough that I have to listen to over the commentary.

[@N0VA_30M3]

I put me cards down on the table and just stare unblinking directly into my opponents face while making vaguely sexual grunting noises
