Feels like as someone new to Magic this entire thing could be so much better presented.. I can't read and see what the cards are doing as the camera is so zoomed out, can we not at the least get a digital pop up of when a card is played on a turn, to read it zoomed in for a bit?

@@sirgalahad42 in my humble opinion, arena tournaments rip the love and joy away from proper competetive magic. No interpersonal connection, no events where you get to see your friends, the casters arent even in the booth together, theres no magic con to go along with it, theres no feel of true paper cards and the small personalites that come along with them. arena does fix the readability issue, but i think its up to the discretion of the event organizers to choose what information to display, and there is plenty of it, provided you follow recent sets in any aspect of the game. those who watch world championship coverage usually do. you make a good point, i just find it hard to believe it is the best solution, there is probably a middle ground that could be reached.
@@Aldersandfirs I get that some people feel the social aspects of Magic are lost with Arena, but honestly, that’s not a big factor for me. For me, the crucial issue is understanding what’s happening at any moment during a match. I didn’t initially think readability was a major issue since I assumed that someone who doesn’t play Magic or is new to it wouldn’t be interested in competitive play. But, as the original comment shows, that’s clearly not the case. I'm not sure a middle ground exists, mostly because the issue goes beyond just zooming in on a card that's played. For instance, if a player casts "Duress" they review every card in their opponent's hand and takes notes on a paper. Should the organizers zoom in on that paper occasionally? Or should they add graphics that show which cards have been revealed? And that's just one card-there are countless cards with even more complex interactions. If we try to support all these scenarios with elaborate graphics, why not just run the tournament on MTG Arena?

Javier was playing the superior deck between him and Seth and tbh Javier should've won g2 of the semis, he also made a bad decision IMO g1 by not countering the Overlord, he could've played double Faerie Mastermind turn 4 in response to 2nd Overlord turn 5 for max card advantage, anyways the end Annex carried Javier to a comeback victory.
I’m so happy for Javier after what happened to him in the Modern tournament in June. Congrats Javier! It was also very refreshing to see the Demon deck win instead of Azorius Eye or Gruul Aggro.
Not to mention Javier seems to always be thinking in a different direction than his opponents. Being the only one in the top 8 at PT Nadu with jeskai control then here winning with dimir demons and a unique build on it at that. Dude deserves everything he's earned.
My son is still piloting Javiers Rakdos Aggro deck i made for him up to this day..and wrecking lunch break games witj it..he watched that final game too just to grasp how Javier plays it..and npw he is telling me to build tjis one too.. Javier is an awesome deckbuilder..

I wanted to see Shota win when I saw he was here because he’s my favorite player of all time but before that in my heart Javier was my man, he is my favorite player in the past couple of years for sure. Super congratulations to him because he had to fight through some crazy obstacles to get to the finals.

Vim aqui comentar e dar o meu apoio ao Márcio Carvalho. Estar tão perto tantas vezes e nunca conseguir tocar no troféu não é fácil, mas eu sei que ele é um grande campeão e certamente estará de volta para continuar a sua marca como o melhor jogador PT de todos os tempos.
This video was uploaded while i was halfway through the day 2 vod. I guess i won’t bother watching the rest of day 2, or even start day 3 👏🏻. How about some spoiler free thumbnails for the first month? The first week?
i prefer seths golgari because of tear asunder main deck. too many enchantments and artifacts running around and robbery main deck to turn around doomsday combo
I swear there is some janky blue/white artifact creature deck that's playable in standard rn. There's some 4-mana cost artifact creatures that don't die to annoint, dont die to go for the throat and dont die to cut down. Hoses their entire removal suite.
I am actually kind of appalled that the commentators don't have a good mtg knowledge. I heard them many times across this and other games commenting some plays that wouldn't have played out as they thought. I think it is not too difficult to ask of them to have a good knowledge of standard cards, especially at a level as high as this. Probably most people are not bothered by this, but I personally think that the commentary loses a lot of value when the commentators are just misjudging cards constantly. I am a very average mtg player, not a skilled one and neither a competitive one, but even I know how the most relevant cards in standard work, and I think they should as well. Some examples are: in this game they didn't know that the dying dreadknight doesn't get exiled and in one of the semifinals they were not aware of the "if you cast it" clause on the excruciator.
@@brunooxvBecause he has multiple documented cases of past cheating and he was penalized for it. Patrick Chapin also documented a unsportsmanlike conduct / series of actions by him back when deck lists were private. Don't get me wrong people can change, and people should be given opportunities for redemption. But I haven't seen anything where he has publicly taken ownership of his mistakes and publicly owned up to past conduct, saying I want to build a new clean record and blaze a new path. I hope I see that at some point in the future. When that time comes he can be viewed in a better light like Javier and Simon.
@@Pug8He has 2 documented cases, both more than 10 years ago. Plus, his DQ at the World Magic Cup was outrageous, I still can’t understand how anyone thinks he was trying to cheat. To my eyes, he has more than proven his worth playing such high level magic with consistent results for such a long time
Si ma dimir demoni perde contro mono rosso aggro... al turno 3 fai stanza che pesca 2 hai perso la partita la macchina e la casa. Infatti con aggro non ha giocato
I love how magic is such a bad card game they have to do these cross overs with other dying franchises just to stay alive. Maybe if they reworked their archaic mana system the game would stop dying
Why does nobody have "Render Inert" in their sideboard? It's the perfect counter against Archfiend of the Dross and will make the opponent lose instantly if they cannot counter it.
Márcio has the same luck drawing as me: brick after brick after brick. We didn't even get a chance to see any kind of skill from the players, all the games were completely decided by shuffle alone.
I cant imagine a more harrowing card to play against with Carvalho than Dreadknight - a perfect card for getting 'distracted' about the state of. There's no sense behind letting someone with this long history of dirty play and cheating continuously compete in tournaments.
It's amazing how consistently high-level Marcio and Javier play. They truly are some of the greatest to ever do it.
Well it's easy for Marcio when you consider how much cheating helps you win :)
Feels like as someone new to Magic this entire thing could be so much better presented.. I can't read and see what the cards are doing as the camera is so zoomed out, can we not at the least get a digital pop up of when a card is played on a turn, to read it zoomed in for a bit?
