X-point Old School MTG
This match is played according to the X-points OS rules. That means that the format has a rule set, which is Atlantic; mana burn is real, 1 strip mine and FE is included and the format also has a points list. The points list is a list of cards that have points allocated to them. You can play with these cards, but you can only spend 10 points in total on these cards. For example, a mishra's factory is 1 point, so if you play a full play-set you use up 4 points and you have 6 points left. This challenges the players to think about what powerful spells they include in their decks. Curious about the format? Take a look at their FB page, / xptos

So much effort is put in the Africa deck. AWESOME !

[@ibanezleftyclub]

Darkness! Yes! Like the Spanish Inquisition, No one ever expects the black fog…. Also Berserk/Maze combo, my favorite!!! Love this match.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

This whole tournament was full of cool decks like this. Many more great matches coming up :)

[@marrozzone]

Very cool match here! It felt like watching the guys playing magic outside the game store where I used to go...so much flavour in these two decks ❤

[@danholomy5852]

The fact that there are better creature then the Boars does not mean you shouldnt play them. Flavour is also a big part of decks and the art and the feel of the card in your deck is also important 😊

The flavor of that Africa deck was amazing! Even more so that it went to a decisive match after a 1-1

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

The deck actually worked, kinda. Great to see :)

[@andersolesen2145]

Very cool decks! I felt immediately inspired after seeing that Word of Command play! So naturally I went and made a new deck focussed around my lone copy :D Ended up with Discard Atog: Atog, The Rack, Urzas Glasses, Ankh, Hymn, Nebu/Gwen and Chains of Mefist/Winds of Change. Gonna try that out for next Xpoints!

WoC is a difficult card to play, but it's so cool when it works. 😁

4 spirit links, now we're talking

Love to see the spicy flavors! Great commentary, as always!

[@WarhavenSC]

Ooo. WG Africa sounds cool. I've been looking for deck ideas to use my Elephant Graveyards. Hmmm.

[@jcolincampbell]

Man, now I want some Elephant Graveyards!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Ditto

[@_polyvoid]

Forgot an Underworld Dreams damage at 40:40 😢 probably not intentionally, yet this happens so often. Nevertheless nice deck builds and matches.

[@zoltantasato-farkas4862]

What a fun flavorful match to watch. Africa for the win!

How many eyes!? Word, Cyclopean, Sol Ring, Evil?? Disk if you look at it funny, I guess? Love it

[@marakah5298]

at 14:34 you missed the opportunity to say "it is very much about the Gathering as well, not just the Magic." lol

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

So true!

[@WarhavenSC]

Slight misplay on the Osai Vulture. Sadly, the Vulture can only get a single counter per turn. It's not one counter per creature that died in a turn, it's just one counter in a turn where something died.

[@nathanwilliams9158]

I’d argue Word of command would need Split Second to function as intended.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Agreed that would make way more sense.

[@andreaskonig8702]

Pumba!!!!

[@Rorschachqp]

If he gets two Evil Eyes out, he'll have Evil Binocular Vision. The better to see you with, my pretty... Theme's well Word Of Command.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

😂

[@MrTrellheim]

I'm not sure if Edwin is counting the tokens on Osai Vultures right. I think he is putting a counter for every creature that dies, when it's a counter every turn a creature dies (significantly worse).

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

True, I wish it was per creature or that the +1/+1 counter was permanent. Would make the card a lot more interesting.

[@plaguedr8831]

WG Africa 😂

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Yep, he also had a tie to match 🤣

[@87plank]

Super original 👌 👏
