Simon Nielsen vs. Zachary Kiihne | Round 8 | Pro Tour The Lord of The Rings

[@CromwellMTG]

Riley killing it with his commentary

[@Neon-chan2015]

I don't like the "nobody understands Voidwalker" comments, I often would like the commentators to be a bit safer in the rules department. Also talking about Abrade as an option for Rhinos was strange. Otherwise he has an interesting voice and is entertaining

[@deggdegg2005]

What was Kai doing in that game with the Voidwalker?

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Too bad that he conceded so quickly, I understand that they play-tested it endlessly, but for this Timmy it would've been interesting to see them play it out.

[@Phil1053Locket]

Are you talking about game 1?

[@TheBalisticGinger]

Still haven't patched the thoughtseize bug

[@TNasty419]

Did anyone else catch that at 44:48 the Marsh Flats that Kosaka played never fetched but he used it for mana on subsequent turns? I guess it benefited Smith in the end because he wasn't thinning his deck but I thought that was kind of a big oversight especially on a game that was on air.

[@emiliogomezmarfil2664]

There was a Blood Moon in play, turning Marsh Flats into a Mountain (no fetch)

@@emiliogomezmarfil2664 how the heck did i miss that...THANK YOU!

[@1thaka]

That concede was far too premature - should've just taken the Tower and played it out...

[@Phil1053Locket]

Well the concession wasn’t early it just made no sense not to choose tower

[@gafdl6365]

@@Phil1053LocketYeah, since even if Tower was named and wasn’t in hand, he couldn’t cast Great Creator next turn with 3 mana… Still had a slight chance

[@Fanofstuff]

Na the issue is Zach is missing way too many resources, he needed to perfect topdeck like 5 cards in a row and have Simon brick 5 cards and brick on one ring draws The call from stonebrain was also irrelevant since he had both Karn and the missing urza land

[@Darkogazza]

Lots of judge calls because of fiddly rules interactions like 'where does this card go when x replacement effect is in play?' I know people love Modern, but I do think it's a weaker format to showcase on this stage just because the games don't keep moving.

[@Neon-chan2015]

High level events always have a lot of judge calls because you want to be 100% sure on anything. And there are still more than enough Standard events
