why did eric always attack with his equipped lingering soul... if he left it as a blocker he would have won some tempo and wouldnt be hit in the face all the time
They mentioned why, since eric was somewhat behind at that point, trading tokens was his best option to simplify the board. But not attacking would just allow points of free damage through and since batterskull also gives vigilance theres no reason not to. He also wasnt in the position to stall the game by just blocking after archangel came into play. Especially if its for a one to one trade.
22:06 - "He's going to have E-Fro timewalk himself" I hate how often people refer to things as a "timewalk". How is distributing 4 +1,+1 counters among your creatures and dealing your opponent 8 damage anything close to skipping a turn? He tapped all of his lands but didn't cast a spell. "It's a timewalk!!!"
I wish the commentators would let us listen to the players go over the games, it is so interesting to hear it from their perspectives
Ian duke was amazing at commentary. Where have they been hiding him?
In R&D
+Nolan Zinke-Warrack In R&D's Secret Lair.
Tasigur is just straight up absurd.
damn when batteringskull came into play, never seen this interesting magic play before
Efro with the savage Tarmogoyf rips
Jesse Hampton is using Ultra Pro sleeves lol
What are the opinions on Ian Duke as a commentator?
He's good, way better than Randy Buehler.
I was pleasantly surprised. He's very solid as a commentator and I think a lineup of Ian, Marshall, and LSV would be amazing.
I like his composure and his style. Very excited to see more of him in the booth!
shit, bring back rashad miller. Best commentator (Srs)
hwangman am i the only one that finds Marshall irritating?
so salty Efro

those noble hierarchs just lost him the game. lousy late game topdecks...
I love seeing Efro loosing ❤️
It's incredible how unhealthy both Eric (for obvious reasons) and Jesse look. Magic needs to do better

Wow what a boring game to watch
