The commentators having no idea how the deck they're commentating on works feels pretty typical of Magic coverage these days. Both not knowing how Neoform works, and not catching that pacts had been used were both pretty big whiffs. And they knew the decklists ahead of time? Surely someone should have sat them down and explained the combo before the match? And then we see 14 minutes of just incredibly boring, uninteractive magic. Modern is in such a terrible state these days.
@@Snarkeroid I'm not saying it's meta. Just that it's a combo that you should be able to look up and wrap your head around if you're commentating an event and have decklists ahead of time.
Neoform is a rogue deck that pretty much nobody plays. While I can agree with the sentiment that the casters should have looked it up enough to follow the game it really doesnt matter because the deck require no skill to play. That being said, your take on modern being in a terrible state based on this game is a shit take.
Arne really showed why he's a pro here
really the match of the century
"modern is really cool sometimes" says commentator while witnessing the most abominable game of magic ever played

Commentators showing off their degrees in Yapanese

I agree with you about casters, but not sure neoform is a meta deck lmao

@@anotherfex I said that Modern magic is not usually combo mirrors, and complaining about how this is what magic is now is stupid

embarassing commentating, yammering about how clueless they are
