I love going back and watching these tournaments.
it was peak MTG. The game was incredible back then.
@@iamtib Hasbro Fuk it
@@iamtib It was good and didn't pander to cringe.
I love the way Melissa plays magic. She doesn't flick her cards like a nut. She just sets them on the table & calmly looks at her opponent & looks at the table. She just sits there.
That's gotta drive players nuts - lol. It's great to see girls in the pro tour too.
"Lemme just reach out, grab your card, rip it out of the sleeve, and toss it back to you unsleeved I'm a pro player" - Owen Turtenwald, 32:45
For real, something felt pretty disrespectful about that.
Just a bad person
He's an A-hole IRL. I even rejected a feature match in Montreal because I was supposed to play against him
don't forget not even reading the front side properly then misplaying olivia like a noob and lose horribly
Always been a piece of shit, can't believe he was a good friend of Duke and Jensen
Wow, as a returning player I look at this and thinK: "Wow, that was standard a few years past?! Amazing." Looks almost like they would play modern. I don't play standard, but this looks fantastic.
Bernd B this was the golden age
I had just started playing Magic around this time. I miss this Standard quite a bit.
Manabases were solid and the decks were pretty powerful. Shocklands, Snapcaster Mages, Restoration Angel's, Boros Charms, and Supreme Verdicts make this almost Modern lite.
Yeah, 1:38:14 you can tell Melissa DeTora realized her mistake right when Martell untapped the Thragtusk. Definitely a game changer. Wish I could've seen game 5.
0:32:45 *tosses card back to player unsleeved* Someone seems upset.
that was so disrespectful lmao
@@abusus75 I think it's because he hadn't determined whether to transform it or not yet. The announcers said they're good friends so that's probably why he did it so casually. Or he was just really salty lol.
@@kylelenertz5509 there’s no choosing whether to transform on that card. But I’m also certain no one was salty at that moment lol.
0:32:45 I can't believe Eric didn't call Owen on the unsleeved card. That was really disrespectful! He should have at least put the card back in the sleeve.
This was imo the greatest standard era ever. The decks were competitive and well balanced against each other. The cards were just a little over the top in power to make it interesting but not crazy broken. The games were fun to watch and very interactive. The mana made it so you could experiment and play basically anything you wanted. The creatures were on par with the spells in terms of power. The sets had value. Great cards that have seen play in eternal formats since their printing. The limited format was awesome through all of these sets and blocks. Even the art and lore were awesome. Such a fun time to play magic. Today’s sets don’t even come close in any way. How far this game has fallen
I twas the golden era of MTG.
Really impressive play by Tom, pretty fun to watch him flip these unfavorable matchups with sheer galaxy brain
THANK YOU!!

That was really great play from Melissa and Tom, they both definitely proved they deserved to be here (Melissa more so with all the controversy behind the special invites.)
Yes, you cast revelation while duress is on the stack and revelation resolves before duress because it was last on the stack.
i have a very hard time following along whats happening but i love to watch these
Played it on a Bloodcrypt which is a swamp mountain. A. you can play dual lands off shockland. B you can search for it with Farseek.
Damn thinking about it i just looked at the cast of this top 8 and it might be the most stacked top 8 I've ever seen Ben s Owen efro Joel Larsson Martell detora mann and gerry pretty crazy if you think about it
You clearly are confused on this subject. Farseek can search for a Plains, Island, Mountain, or a Swamp. The dual lands you are bringing into question here clearly state on the card they are a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and / or Forest.
For example Hallowed Fountain is a "Land - Plains Island"
This is a perfectly legal target for Farseek.
Therefore when lands like Glacial Fortress comes into play untapped it is because Hallowed Fountain is both a Plains and an Island.
Hope that this helps!
I was on the Swedish pre-release!!!! It was awesome!
This Tom guy takes FOREVER to do ANYTHING. Melissa is like "COME ON"
I didn't know the differences of the pro tours and grand prix I thought they where the same things. I went to pro tour toronto it was a blast went 4-5 with a jank deck but met a few pros but this level of play is awsome some day i wanna be in there seats
How long do you tap your mana for
Who’s scarfing down the donut around 20:00?
thx man
They were talking about Nephalia Drownyard if I am correct
I already knew that about Glacial Fortress, Hallowed Fountain, etc.. that state that but I've watched people on twitch use it to search for Non-basic lands that didn't have that in their type.
Garruk Relentless on the board, and Turtenwald plays Olivia without leaving bite mana up...
/face in two palms.
Ahh! You're right. I missed what he said. I thought they were still talking about the Jace. Haha.
with a computer via internet on youtube or live, glad to help :)
Never seen Owen Turtenwald play as bad as he did in that 3rd match, the Olivia and Arbor Elf together was a massive missplay.
Wha did Own playd the Arbor Elf?
Can someone message me how you qualify for one of these
I don't know if it's necessarily dorky, though it is a look that's gotten a lot of mileage out of dorks. I'd put it on the same shelf as sasy, graphic tee shirt under open button down collared shirt. Joel Larson is my pick here for best dressed though, it was like he new he was going to be recorded that day so he got a haircut!
@30.32, how did he put the dragonskull summit into the battlefield untapped?? there is no swamp or mountain specified....
@shadowjerio, if you played as much as much as she did you woukd have nervous ticks too, it is a thing you know
They why post it here in the first place?
they did say something about him not wanting to draw it and not having anyway to "revive" cards
can anybody tell me why he didnt leave mana open for olivia activation at 36:54?
Its not the little mistake by the casters about the charm, it is the fact that shaman exiled a spell from the stack .
I will be so sad when Champion of the Parish retires. He has served his parish well... and will continue to serve them in his post retirement career in modern, casual etc
criminally under liked
Melisa...make great game always
That's correct, not sure what LSV was thinking there...
i have no idea whats going on but i kinda wish i knew how to play
I miss these days so much it hurts, why would wotc ruin this?
At 1:07:10 LSV says Mann can't take the Jace via Duress even if he wanted to. Since Planeswalkers aren't creatures,and Duress says you can make them discard a non land non creature card,then Planeswalkers are fair game,right?
at 20:13 she says "I'll take it" but then goes back and puts Azorious charm?
+Whos Nick I think she means "no blocks"
+Whos Nick Hoping he'd sack to it so she could get a 2 or 3 for 1?
Sorry, i was wrong.. Thank you Derwent :)
He's talking about the Plains.
"Efro decided it Smite be a good time for an elephant." B+
0:34:58
Dramatic Rescue: Shows Murkfiend Liege.
Genius,
Pure fucking genius.
np :)
The tusk is already hers, I think you mean Martell, she should have charmed the Tusk while it was in her side, you even hear her saying in a bit of surprise "Oh! It untaps?"
I saw no Fblthp in the opening slideshow.
At 1:00:32, why didn't Mann attack?
alot of pros do it to hide information from your opponent, like hiding which card you just drew, or which card you've been sandbagging, at least that's what they say
i guess he didnt realize it would flip if he deals two damage with rakdos' return to it...
lol Larson's hair is crazy! That and his giant ring :P
I was rooting for melissa. sucks that she didnt make it :(
LSV would make Pro Tour coverage the Monday Night Football of Magic commentating, if he were the primary analyst (LSM: Luis Scott Madden).
He actually explained that brian kibler put the scarf on himself >.>
It did get charmed and it should have gone to the top however the creature got Sacrificed in response,
LSV brings his bad puns to the main stage!
@34:44 he said there was no doom blade...then m14
oh wow nvmd did not realize the shocklands had basic status as well cool
He sacrificed his own Aristrocrat to itself, in order to prevent it from being placed on top of his library.
no, by not stealing tusk she reduced the number of blockers they had available. She would've done less damage stealing the tusk.
I second THAT! the SHUFFLE FACE!!!
So sad Melissa went out but great game
Can we get a version without Tom Martell's hour long "thought sessions"?
Would rather watch be in the top 8.
Yeah, but that's "one reason" why they do it. I play against people all the time who do it. I just sit there & try my best to ignore it & stay focused. If I start getting irritated at the way they're playing, that only hurts me. I got some good tips watching Melissa. Basically, stay focused, no matter what : )
there was a mis-play not caught by the judges in game one of melissa and tom, she azorius charmed his falkenrath aristocrat and he put it in his graveyard, he was suppose to put it on top of his library.
He sacrificed the Aristocrat to itself in response
At 1:37:45 why didn't Melissa use the Azorius Charm on her Thragtusk in response to Zealous Conscripts coming into the battlefield? She gets the beast token (instead of it going to Tom) and Tom doesn't get to block with Thragtusk and the Thragtusk still ends up on top of her deck
has to be an attacking creature.
@@seanarmstrong5797 It was attacking
All the Nephalia Drownyard puns
Close to 24 mins wasn't Tom supposed to draw the arristocrat from the top deck since Melissa used the azorius charm to put it on the top of the deck?? lol
Martell is the slowest "pro" player I've ever seen
Even the commentators explained how hard his deck is to play. Too many creatures, too many interactions, too many possibilities for attacks, blocks, etc.
Can't blame him, his head got crushed by the Mountain
23:40 , why she dont pump all the way to beat tom?
"Charming as that was..." Hmm, LSV. I give you an A-
0:06:31
Thundermaw Hellrider, i want that card right now >:D
at 1:15:20 ben stark drew an island..and he commentator said he drew an azorius charm lawl
Melissa going with the classic longsleeve shirt under tee shirt nerd look. Tom sporting his lucky scarf his grandmother knitted him.
Yeah,she played an extra land,probably by accident. It was on like turn 2 of extra turns and it made no difference in the game because it wasn't used for anything. She already had like 17 lands in play anyways,
He knew about the combo. In his Deck Tech he said that he doesn't like to use the combo.
i want those squirrel sleeves
Why Joel, at 0:47:11, didn't use his charms to get infinite life ??? He didn't know about it ?
You are a god.
At 13:50 shouldn't she be at 4?
Could maybe be cold? I mean, it is still winter.
32:42 The way that Turtenwald rudely grabs Froehlich's Garruk, unsleeves and flips it to read it, then just tosses it back
Idk why it took a sexual harassment scandal for the community to realize that this dude was toxic
1:34:52 Just notice Nate Holt!!!!! :D
"It" is scary indeed.
oh ok, it confused me cuz the commentators were saying it got charmed so it goes back on top then its sittin there in the graveyard, the commentators need to keep up with whats goin on
WHY TOM PUT THE FALKENRATH ARISTOCRAT IN HIS GRAVEYARD????
1:39:30....There is Walking The Planes guy !
That scarf...
Sorry stardustwurmcoil, clearly I was mistaken.
Or you can try google, it is a pretty cool website.
I need a few Thragtusks
Soooo ummm how exactly did that dragonskull summit come in untapped at 32:25? Am I missing something?
0:12:19 Melissa looks nervous as hell
