Haven't looked further into the video than 1:49, but the hand that got revealed off of that first Thoughtseize would actually be a big red flag for me that this might be UWR Twin (running the Kiki + Angel Combo and Wall of Omens for value).
It bothers me how sloppy both players are playing. Jackie put the snap in the yard instead of a leak, and Joel keeps hitting everything on the board cause he's moving too fast.
Also, when Joel cracks a misty rainforest around the 35:00 mark and gets a blood crypt after contemplating for an entire minute. Also, these commentators really get on my nerves too when the can't look at the board state and decipher the basic plays and decisions made by players
Where are the commentators looking? Very annoying when they get stuck on a train of thought that is just wrong if you actually look on the board state. Jesus christ..
I actually agree with this... though it's not as bad here as the minute long rant in, I think, round 5 where the burn player drew a blackcleave cliffs (under Mindslaver) and the commentator yelled about "how could he not shock himself to activate Grim Lavamancer?!" when it was very obvious it was a cliffs if you looked for 2 seconds...

What a sloppy game 1 by Jackie.
