Him tossing the Ulamog was so funny 😂
I laughed out loud, magic is fun! Both players smiling. I love seeing high level play not being too serious.
Honestly love how he rejected the hand shake and went for a hug instead.
For real!
Such a combination of skill and sportsmanship is what I love to see at the top tables.
Just for that game 4, calcano wins in my heart. Some of the tightest play I've ever seen
bro it was just him popping ostone and scam not being able to recover, how low is the bar for pro play when players are commending that shit
@@DikkeRoman Achievement Unlocked: Tell me you don't know high level magic without telling me.
@DikkeRoman you would have lost.
I would love to know if he held the Chromatic Star specifically to play around Kroxa, or if it was primarily just to put the extra counter on Walking Ballista. Either way, absolutely incredible playing from him the entire match.

Game 4 was one hell of a game.
Please stream on RUclips in future, getting the match after the event just doesn't give it the exposure these players deserve.
Please spread the word. They need to stream games live on RUclips like they used to. I much preferred watching pro tours on RUclips than twitch.
#LIVEMtg
Same, twitch is just lame and laggy
Small indy company,they can only do so much with the limited resources at their disposal.
Yeah Twitch is also garbage. The ads have improved a bit it seems, you no longer need to sit through 10x 40 second ads every 30 minutes but I still prefer watching on youtube.
Game 4 will forever be burned in my memory as one of the greatest games of Magic I have ever seen! I was on the edge of my seat like “AHHH DON’T PLAY IT! DON’T PLAY IT!” And he said go I lost my mind! Just an absolute masterclass on display
I did the exact same!! I was literally begging to my screen not for him to play the chromatic star and when he said go I just lost it
I knew the outcome of the tourney unfortunately but STILL was entranced and emotionally invested. I love that man, what an amazing player
most entertaining pro tour final in awhile
and that tells something about the state of the format...
T3 win on a final is so yugioh-ish
@@GabrielSilva-mv4fmyeah it says those wins are more entertaining. It’s the most entertaining pro tour finals we’ve had in awhile and also the first time modern has been the format in awhile. That’s not a coincidence.
Probably one of the greatest matches in a final ever. Sure the last hand felt weak but 4 was absolutely amazing, Calcano is my new Spirit Animal...
Lol
Can we just all appreciate we have ceddy back in the booth?! Best commentator ever
Him and Psulli are legends
Cedric is a beautiful, warm, eloquent, and gracious human being.
1:09:35 "This is a game of magic right here!" I couldn't help but smile when i heard that. Peak commentary by Cedric Phillips.
19:36 the ulamog throw
It was a perfect toss to his hand too lmao
Man I miss this. Pro magic feels like home. I hope Cedric lives forever.
What a match... I've never been so invested in a game of magic as that 4th game. These players are awesome and i love the friendly attitude they have
game 4 was onde of the most beautiful games i ever see, holy cow
The tension of game 4 of this match will go down in mtg history lol
Game 4 is Magic The Gathering.
Game 4 was an all time classic
From how gracious he is the entire time, including right after losing game 5, I can tell Christian Calcano has a really good/pure heart. :) Congrats to Jake Beardsley!
What. A. Match!! That was amaxing to watch. Congrats to Jake, and to Calcano, too! Two great players, neck and neck the whole way. You kove to see it!
That was SO MUCH FUN. I LOVE watching coverage like this.
Game 1: 1:45
Game 2: 17:33

Game 4: 38:14

the game has come a long way. Great to see Pro Tour back and proper coverage!! Cedric and Paul are great on the call!
Great to see paper magic again. It feels like the world is back to normal with the Pro Tours back
yea, back to the normal awful viewing experience..
@@baigpigpig Ah, you're one of those. Bet you're a blast a parties!
I just got into MTG two weeks ago, and heard about how amazing these finals were.
And i gotta say Beardsley holding the thoughtseize to combo with Dauthi and take Ulamog, and Christian holding the chromatic star to not die to Kroxa was some of the craziest decision making i've seen in my life.
I'm so excited as i just start my journey in this beautiful game !
this was WILD to catch live, had me on the edge of my seat. literally stood up and clapped and cheered for jake, even though i was rooting for calcano. excited for worlds!
Watching an eldrazi deck in the finals, gives me great comfort coz my friend just recently died at 43 years of age and he was an avid eldrazi master in all aspects from pauper to modern to commander. Rest in peace my friend, and know that the blind eternity still lives on.
RIP to your friend.
RIP to your friend, I hope he is playing his Eldrazi rn
@@juventus1201 yahh me too his a good friend, we started playing yugioh against each other. He uses elemental heroes while i used cyberdragons, then vanguard and finally he started to play mtg with focus on eldrazi. Me i went back to mtg after a 10 year hiatus and started playing standard and modern then focused on edh. We had some epic games against each other
That was some great magic. LOVED IT.
could go down as one of the greatest games of magic ever played
great to see proffesional magic played in person again. it feels like faith has been restored.
Paper Magic is what I’ve been wanting to see! Did not disappoint!
Game 2... never saw such a satisfyingly painful Tron loss. And I _play_ Tron. But Game 4? That's a candidate for game of the year.
I was on Live there seen this match and was so intense, one of the best Magic Games i've seen in my entire life.
You gotta love the sportsmanship of Christian when he got thoughtseized for ulamog 😂
Calcano is the definition of a class act. What a great representative of the game. Both of these guys are, frankly. Great match, great sportsmanship, just love of the game.
Congratulations to all players from the Pro Tour. They have given us an amazing show. Special congratulations to the eight finalists. My personal admiration to Calcano. His attitude, suffering, having fun but always with lots of respect and sportmanship to the end, clapping and congratulating the winner. A great competitor
This was so awesome
Cedric Phillips is the man. Hands down, favourite magic broadcaster.
There has got to be a better way to post tournament rounds than this thumbnail + title. I was working my way through the day 1 VOD and RUclips has recommended me the finals, spoiling the players and decks that make it. Please stop ruining the hard work that goes into this production with these spoilers lmao
Before coming across this video I was searching for movie suggestions for today! forget about movies!! xDThis match was even more exciting than any movie I could have watched xD great game!!
Best match in a while. Players are so nice with each other! Great atmosphere. Very funny!
Had to comeback and watch one of the best finals ever
Can't wait to see those championship decks back on sale again.
Love Cali....cheers
Shouldn't you guys move heaven and earth to hire Patrick Sullivan to work with Cedric Phillips since those guys are the most iconic commentary duo ever in this game? I mean we have nothing like them in YGO you could really distinguish yourselves
P Sully has probably moved on to a new career. It may not be possible to recruit him if he's doing well enough somewhere else....
@@trith72 Cedric and Pat have been working together nonstop for like 15 years and even lived together for long periods lol. In fact they still make content together consistently. They have ongoing series like Unsleeved and Resleevables with the two of them. The most recent episode came out 11 days ago lol. So its not like they moved on or something, they have multiple ongoing projects together and again have been working together and an iconic duo for like my entire life almost lol.
Okay but when did we go back to paper magic 😮 I've been missing this.

@@LawrenciumMTG Really appreciate that info, thanks 👍
This is why i love the game of Magic: The Gathering. Big thanks to the father of MTG, Richard C. Garfield. Love Cal-C playing the green tron deck. Hated always Rakdos.. cause its a no brainer deck. Hehehe. But hey a win is a win so congratulations to Beardsley. Keep it coming.
I love how they didnt want to call the deck scam. So ridiculous.
I was wondering about that. Do you know any specific reason why they would avoid the common parlance? I feel like they've always called the decks by their given names.
@@_____kb Most likely because of a negative connotation.
Because “scam” makes no sense. It’s “Rakdos Evoke.”
@@KSE828 It's the actual name of the deck because your opp feels like they are getting scammed. What are you talking about?
Haven’t watched PT coverage in a while, I like Cedric but where is Marshall Sutcliffe?
Don't like the matchup, but wow, what a final! Glory to da winna!
ragavan is the 2nd best 1 drop ever printed......THRABEN INSPECTOR
its sad how youtube channels have better production quality than WOTC when it comes to broadcasting gameplay. Their hud is so 2010 and they dont change camera angles. So strange how they havent grown.
In game 2 with the natural tron, he had a chance of drawing an out to karn liberated off the top..
Which timestamp is the Ulamog throw?
19:36
@@AstrologorumMonarcha thanks
Oh my god im 12 minutes in and starting to hate the one ring. Lets See where this ist going...
Cedric is the Michael Cole of Pro Tours. He is the voice of coverage.
That thoutseize/voidwalker stealing Ulamog was pretty sick.
where's patrick sullivan????????
Thanks for sharing. This channel need to avoid spoilers, before all of these videos uploaded, they posted on community some results lol
FREE ULAMOG BABY!
whats the yellow paper they read between rounds?
37:45 round 4
Why the video doesn't have subtitles to other languages?
What was the prize pool for this?
$500k USD, with $50k for the winner and $30k for the runner-up
Just watched Jake B win the Pro Tour. Glad to see him moving up from when I played FNM modern with him. He just needed a better deck then Mono U Tron
I really hate the new position of the camera, so awkward to watch.
19:30
Simian spirit guide ban is a joke compared with printing of Fury and Grief.... #999 never forget
game 4 kiki jiki no summoning sickness?
at 55:00 jake throws the game because he tapped a land instead of using a treasure... he could have played fable after stone to draw into kroxa+bowmaster earlier and pressure calcano more... that way calcano loses titan to kroxa and has no pressure...
If only you listened to the commentators, or are you just repeating it to try and sound d smart?
@@burnsboy101 why are you triggered by that?
@@robertdarnhofer536 why are you commenting on something that was already explained in the video?
@@burnsboy101 they said he could have played fable and missed the carddraw... i added a timestamp and an explanation what would have happened after he drawed 2 extra cards...
seriously i do not understand why you are so triggered by that as he did win the match and i did not say something personal about him...
@@robertdarnhofer536 different part of the video mate
That last game Calcano kept a really bad hand.
Love this coverage, but the way this channel uploads and doesn’t even stream is so chaotic. Ruins the suspense and excitement of following the tournament.
1:05:02 couldn’t he have chosen mountain , swamp and forest and just left him with 1 land ?
Verdant catacombs doesn't have a basic land type, so it can't be destroyed by sundering titan
game 4 was incredible but game 5 was a STINKER. Hate how many of those non-games scam creates, but when its playing more like a normal rakdos midrange deck it creates some sweet games
Game 4 - Why are the commentators going on about Jake not saccing the treasures to cast Fable in response to Oblivion Stone? Wasn't the Stone popped in combat, so the mana would disappear anyway?
Its more he should have used the treasure to do the Fable copying. That would have left the 3 lands untapped after combat for the fable.
It's true he can't use the treasure for the fable cast on his 2nd main, but can he use the treasure to activate the mirror breaker that is getting killed by the O-stone?
Missing those draws could've easily been the difference between a win and a loss.
Imagine drawing another bolt or something. Potentially huge.
@@bigperk345 (that wouldnt have been possible)
Does anyone know the random red-head girl in the audience that they keep zooming on?
Ok. At the end, they said it's his girlfriend. Now I know why they kept zooming on her.
USA USA USA!!
Why they said 'kill blood moon" it is not a creature...??!!
Awful coverage! For more than a decade you have been showing side view. Why did you change it to POV?!
good lord..... Modern is nuts these days
How is Jake discarding card and drawing?
how did Beardsley get to keep the fury on the battlefield after evoking it???
He cast Feign Death on it so it returns to the battlefield after being sacrificed.
this is playing with portals
Not cool to post the game *after* the spoiler of who won
Jesus the card flipping.....😅
It's so obnoxious
The constant shuffling of ones hand should be illegal. It’s so irritatingly disruptive to sit across from.
Is this Standard format? (I only play Commander XD)
Lord of the Rings is a Modern legal set
why do they repeatedly shuffle if their hands? Does it throw your opponent off? Are they hoping to magically produce another card?
Anxiety
The main reason at high level play is to conceal what you've drawn.
When you don't shuffle your hand your opponent will know what cards you keep holding and what are the ones you are playing from the top of your deck.
Like for example, let's say an opponent thoughtseizes you and sees a lightning bolt, now next turn you top deck another lightning bolt, if you dont shuffle your hand and just play it immediately your opponent will know that you still have one left, if you shuffle your hand first he will probably assume it's the one he saw with thoughtseize.
The same is true for cards you expect but dont know according to the deck they're playing and might be holding, over time most skilled players can estimate a range of cards that players could be holding, if your opponent always plays cards without shuffling the hand first you will get a much higher accuracy for reads into your opponents possible hands.
So shuffling your hand is a good habit to get into because you want to do it after every draw.
the most simple answer is that hand shuffling feels good
It's a form of stimming. Most mtg players are either on the spectrum, neurodivergent, have anxiety, ADHD, etc. It's a way to give yourself short bursts of sensory stimulation in a tense situation. Also, it feels good...
@@corvinhc This is an answer I had not considered! I wish I was able to do it fast and cool.
Scam is so lame!
How is a 4/3 menace + 2 Thoughseizes on turn 1 fair?
Just keep 5/6/7 only land hand with natural Tron then its fair /S
Tbf you need to invest 3 cards and have a 2 1/2-ish cards combo in your opener
@@wernerbeinhart2320 It's not about card advantage. You can completely disrupt your opponent on turn 1 on the play and put a 4/3 menace creature on the table.
Doesn't happen every game, Its not good in every matchup and the undying effects become pretty dead topdecks late game. All these factore balances out the upside.
The cope from people trying to defend undeniably busted things in magic is so annoying
I thought the deck was called rakdos scam
Commentators all excited about busted cards that just got added and broke the format smh
For a tour being called "Lotr", i was expecting lotr theme decks. I was disappointed 😞
well they did have the one ring and orcish bowmaster, thats close enough right?
@alexandersepa3037 lols. Not what I was hoping for. More along the lines of a tom bombadil deck or a sauron amass deck. Just made powerful with all other modern cards
@@darthcaedus9130 that would be cool but those cards are unfortunatly there wasnt nay cards goood enought a create a new deck
it's more than a bit weird, especially for casual fans. i would have enjoyed seeing a single-set tournament for LoTR. actually, it would be fun to see more single set tournaments in general. thematic consistency is nice.
Game 4 was pretty wild, but the modern horizons format still sucks
Maybe we should stop calling the deck "scam".....
They need to do something to make it easier to see and know the cards on a casual watch, i know people arent fans of watching arena gameplay but paper is actively worse from a spectator perspective
To be clear, for the other 99% of the games played they should be paper for ease comfort and general fun of using your own cards. But for the major main stage feature matches, they should be on arena just for veiwability, ease of interaction, less judgecalls, and general amount of information available to be viewed as a spectator
Have you ever played Modern on Arena?
You cant make this tournament on Arena. Arena is a different Environment with own algorithms and own problems (starting Hand, thoughtseize Bug, set stops and so on...).
Magic on Arena is a different game.
I don't know what I hate more tron or scam
Scam
“Pro” Tour lol
ban the one ring.
Bowmasters too
Dauthi Voidwalker is disgusting
one ring high key ruined the game.
Someone’s gotta talk w/ production about the weird zoom ins on that random woman, very jarring and odd!
Yeah that was super weird. I figured maybe I missed some background, like that's Jake's wife or friend or sister or something.
Edit: Ah, at the end of the video she goes on the stage and they say she's his girlfriend. I'd say the pan overs make sense now.
Calcano dont know karn Is Up to One target. Sutch a huge missplay whit treasure in g4. And so many games in autopilot mode. Moderno Is in all time low and also Very low skills level for a final.
