    I started playing competitive magic by watching Reid Duke's 2013 Aura Hexproof run. Since then, I've made sure to announce everything I do. I didn't realize that I got it from Reid until Marshal mentioned it.
    Thanks for getting me into magic, Reid!

      That is also when I got into competitive. When I saw Reid let Shahar take back his lightning helix I was impressed on how fair Reid was being. Even with 40 grand on the line he still let the rookie take back a game changing play. Reid is just a great guy.

    @38:23 Reid popped spell bomb to be able to prevent another Gurmag as its the only window while he has priority. If thoughtsieze resolves then Floch taps out for Gurmag. He clearly valued his opponent not having a gurmag on the table over his own dark confidant

    He didn’t need to concede he could’ve sacced the tapped ds 8:00

      I meant 15:00

      Exactly what I was thinking

      Ivan was probably thinking about that Fatal Push Reid had in hand. Say Liliana plus one, Ivan sac the tapped DS. Reid then Push the other DS and can attack for lethal. Still a misplay because Stubborn Denial was enough to take care of either threats.

      Yah, I got really confused when I saw the first game and Ivan picking up his cards.. I was like... whaT? Uh? Did Ivan really just concede? He's not quite dead, can play it out and see what happens.. Did coverage screw up?

      The issue was that Floch couldn't win if Lili got to resolve. He sacs his tapped Shadow, and Scooze eats it. He has to draw a land the next turn or else he can't TBR with denial back up. Even if he does hit the land, he has to rely on Reid not blocking which Reid was bound to do. Floch dies on the crack back

    I’m mad Ivan isn’t playing control

    Question: how come death's shadow doesn't play dark confidant?

    • @peewee130946

      1 it would only be taking 1 life a turn they play really low on the mana curve
      2 other than card draw it dosent really support there game play there kinda a spellslinger deck not a lot of room for creatures so delve creatures snapcaster and deathshadow make the cut

    • @aidandurrant3513
      @aidandurrant3513 6 лет назад

      jacob blackman Alright, good to know. I figured card advantage would be helpful is all.

    • @peewee130946
      @peewee130946 6 лет назад +1

      Aidan Durrant I know it would be helpful just not for death shadow it’s a unique deck

    • @aidandurrant3513
      @aidandurrant3513 6 лет назад

      jacob blackman That it is.

    • @aidandurrant3513
      @aidandurrant3513 6 лет назад

      Victor Kurz That also makes good sense.

    Why have people stopped playing Tasigur in GDS? This card generates value AND the problem currently with death's shadow is exactly that... it can't keep up with the urzas, uros, astrolabes and co. because they always get their 2 for 1. So what's the reason?

    • @SkillsByNiels
      @SkillsByNiels 5 месяцев назад

      So the prolem was with taisgur is that it's a 4/5 and not 5/5 like gurmag which was important in the mirror, tarmogouf etc.

    @SkulblakaFreohr 6 лет назад +3

    Game 1 punt. That’s good though, because I like Duke way more than Floch.

  • @julianjohn6556
    @julianjohn6556 6 лет назад +5

    @andriylaw4601 6 лет назад +5

    All these commentators are joke, die on board at 15:00 ? Ivan just needs to sac the tapped ds. Anyway even the pro didn't notice it lol

    • @andriylaw4601
      @andriylaw4601 6 лет назад

      r j ya actually the two hall of famers knew in the end and they discussed it!
      But I believe Reid surely knew the moment Ivan conceded, but u wouldn't wan opponent to know that in midst of games

    • @andriylaw4601
      @andriylaw4601 6 лет назад

      r j haha sorry abt that, I tot Ivan is hof lol

      @CHETOS_93 6 лет назад +1

      I noticed to...and i have thinking several minutes about that...a mistake 4 ivan floch..if he sac the tapped DS he could have won in the back if he draws a land that let him open to cast Temur and stubborn

      Andriy Law -- "if u notice this pro tour there are alot of mistakes"
      Probably not much more than usual. Mistakes happen, even at high level play. It's just so much more easier to notice and theorize them when they are featured in the coverage of a PT and made by player that are supposedly better than the rest of us. This is plain and simple hindsight bias.
      When your nephew blunders a pawn at his chess school nobody cares. When Kasparov does it however...
