SCGPROV - Legacy - Quarterfinals - Feline Longmore vs Ross Merriam

[@trumpetperson11]

29:20 Ngl, I like the power move of showing him that you kept it, even if that isn't benificial gameplay wise. Get in his head lol

[@forgottenartificer]

I really like watching Feline play, she's a super friendly player

[@mmoskowitz9]

Ross' shuffles are longer then felines plays .

[@Mariolinkirby]

scg should let community members fill in the CC from youtube on these old videos. it would help build community and allow more access to this confusing format for more people.

man ross is shaking like a leaf in the wind.

[@whoareyou221]

He was shaking a lot because he was cheating and hoping that he didn't get caught. You notice he played Quirion Ranger's ability 2 times in the same turn while he was shaking.

[@ArsenicDrone]

For anyone reading this, copy-pasting T.E.'s well-written reply from another thread below: "Kind of a long time since this comment, but rewatch the sequencing of that turn. Or if you don't want to, I'll describe it: Merriam activates ranger to untap dryad arbor, returning Savannah. He casts wirewood symbiote, then activates it returning ranger, untapping dryad arbor. He casts ranger, then activates the "new" ranger to untap dryad arbor and return bayou. No cheating, a very legal sequence of plays. Please make sure you're right before you try to tarnish someone's reputation."

@@whoareyou221 he doesn’t cheat

[@MrDopeDan]

He's shaking because he's a anxiety ridden nervous nerd

[@Ohushi]

​@Franklin Jackson "thats cheating!"

[@jontao5421]

I hate people that aggressively shuffle other people's decks. Ross probably destroyed that sleeve.

[@smmclaug75]

It's completely unnecessary and obnoxious. It's a subtle social cue, too, that you don't trust your opponent to randomize his deck. Not that Magic players have, as a rule, much in the way of social intelligence.

[@murdercrase]

they are ultra pros, and theyre probably double sleeved so I could imagine them splitting easily after shuffling all day

[@WMDistraction]

Sage McLaughlin At high levels of play, it's very common to shuffle your opponent's deck because it is very easy to cheat by controlling the shuffle.

[@QuidBeliever]

Sage McLaughlin you say this but jarred boetcher, one player in the top 8, was caught and banned for cheating so it definitely happens and its happened a fair put on the open series

[@jontao5421]

This is all true; shuffling your opponent's deck increases randomness and ensures there's no cheating, but I'm commenting more on the lack of care he's taking with her cards. I usually just cut my opponent's deck, maybe twice, never in the middle. The way he was man-handling her cards made me wince. I've definitely seen worse, but I think a little more respect and trust should be expected.

[@elmaestroalberto1786]

why did she tap the candelabra? it doesnt have a tap symbol on it besides it only says that you have to pay mana in order to untap lands.

[@ormacklanburg7095]

It's from Antiquities so the text on the card does not match. It has always tapped to activate. Take look at its Oracle text for clarification.

[@timw9745]

It's what used to be called a 'mono artifact' wich requires tapping to be used. Poly artifact are used without tapping.

[@MrDopeDan]

wats a nonbo ?

[@adrianmelo7768]

It’s the oposite of a combo, cards that nullify or work against each other

[@PhilShary]

I wish my wife could play High Tide.

[@LeBajanCanadian]

feline cheating at 16:11?

[@Woodside235]

What did she do specifically?

[@cheeseman4448]

Woodside you probably found out by now but she didn't offer the cut of the deck

[@bleemblargo]

Probably a shortcut, being about to shuffle everything thing together again with Time Spiral.

[@kobymcdonald8742]

if you watch for a few more seconds merriam shuffled her library before she did anything else. After she shuffled merriam moved a dice so they started making sure that everything was correct on mana floating and all that, immediatley after confirming with each other that everything was good to go merriam then grabbed her deck and shuffled. Pay attention to the video before claiming someone is cheating.

[@SRADracer]

@@kobymcdonald8742 Please learn how to read before commenting. Question mark (?) means it’s not a claim. It’s a question.

[@whoareyou221]

Ross Merriam cheated in the 3rd round. He used Quirion Ranger's ability 2 times in a single turn.

[@parkerspears1614]

time stamp it

[@t.e.3535]

Kind of a long time since this comment, but rewatch the sequencing of that turn. Or if you don't want to, I'll describe it: Merriam activates ranger to untap dryad arbor, returning Savannah.
