Been ages since I’ve seen a mono-black deck win something. As a blue player I’m quite impressed.
wow so the guy gets the ulamog and the game is over……………………..WIIIIIIIII FUNNNNNNNNNN im wating for 1 CARD AND I WIN WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I LOVE IT
glad to see that SHIT deck of a marvel get rekt
Great job Gerry and both of you!
at 43:57 how does Yuuya block the dire graf with 4 creatures? I’m sort of new, i always assumed you can only block with 1 creature
What is a marvel deck?
Ive played for a while but ive never heard of it
i just started playing more but its still at home and im sure theres many things im flat out doing wrong.
the way they keep their mana on the table confuses me. is it sorted by color? i would just keep my mana side by side
I haven’t followed/watched Magic for more than a year or so. Could someone explain me why they’re wearing headphones, like they’re playing a videogame?! Looks like it takes away the social aspect of a duel. Thanks!
Any idea what sleeves Gerry uses for his Zombie tokens? thanks!
Liliana vs Eldrazi. Liliana won again.
Does anybody have the link to buy the sleeves Gerry Thompson is using? They look great.
wait a minute, now the PT is team based? what is this focus of teams ? what does it f* matters? this is a solitary game,it’s not worlds. im very pissed off
Is the Aether plot point an analogy for medical marijuana? I read the flavor text on Rogue Refiner and I was like, “Hmmm. I see.”
Did anyone hear of any Esper control style stuff? One would think Esper control zombies with a few Sorin’s would be pretty damn solid. Plus brain pick with delirium eliminating the aetherwork marvel train. Thoughts?
I like it more when the Control decks rely on Planeswalkers. I feel like they are the most fair and satisfying win condition while also usually making fans of said character happy when it’s played. I really hope Nicol Bolas is the new win condition (or at least one of them) for Control decks in Hour of Devastation.
Watanabe lowkey looks rapey
Wow even in finals people make mana screw by chance. The mulligan rule needs to change
Even the annotations say almond cat 55:03.
50:18
Who else wants an aether hug?
Format ?
You gotta pause it at *56:29* to catch the face *{::^_^::}*
whoever made black card is ridiculous, they are designed to be OP and extremely mana conservative.
you know it’s funny watching this now with Marvel being banned. that takes away that entire deck
where could one get Gerry Thompson’s sleeves
I see that they returned to the regular finals format. I guess the stepladder format for the finals of the last PT didn’t sit well with fans.
its like listening to limited resources
So glad to see Zombies on top!
After watching most of the weekend live I’m still having nightmares where all I can hear is ‘mahwehhhhhhh…………..mehyewwwwwwww………………’
Play kozilek’s return, then play ulamog the ceaseless hunger triggering kozilek’s return from the graveyard killing everything plus exiling two swamps.
the day energy counters rotate out of standard, i’m cracking a Pappy 23 year.
Does any one else find it abrasive when one’s opponent fidgets incessantly like Watanabe?
Where do you get these songs on 5:50?!
Very glad to see a zombie deck not only destroy the Marvel Menace, but completely decimate the entire tournament. Great coverage, congratulations to everyone involved, especially Gerry.
not mulliganing game one was very foolish. mtg 101.
wow! they shuffle their decks and hands so smooth, teach me how to do that anyone have youtube link?
Why are they wearing headphones with mics?
Huge win for Gerry, he’s a great guy, definitely deserves this, and I am super happy for him. I also want to recognize: time after time, I see Yuuya being incredibly gracious and sporting, even when losing. I remember when he also lost to Cifka’s eggs deck in the finals of PT RTR; while there was little he could do except for wait for the combo and hope for a fizzle, the whole time he was incredibly pleasant with not one bit of salt. Hats off to two amazing players in this Pro Tour finals, not just for being great at magic, but also for being awesome people!
Let’s go over the decks:
Green-Red-Blue Aetherworks (NOT Temur because there are no temur cards in the deck and most people understand just the colors):
Oh? You wanna cast a 10+ CMC card on turn four? GO RIGHT AHEAD!
Sideboard can be much improved
Zombies:
Remember when they reversed the standard cycle? The deck wouldn’t be as powerful if they reversed this decision.
If you don’t like the way standard is, you may want to check out Des.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this comment was banned.
And this is why I don’t watch M.T.G. ProTour anymore. The final round and, alot of the ones before it are told to be thrown or won. Yuuya kept hands he would never keep EVER. He then played like crap on purpose to lose games he could have easily won. We have it here on video AGAIN!!!!!
Anyone know where can buy/ find Gerry Thompson protection sleeves ??
In my opinion Marvel is broken and it should be banned
i really don’t understand how Ulamog hasn’t been banned.
anyone else just picture LSV face palming at some of the stuff the other dude says? haha
After winning game two did Gerry shuffle his entire sideboard into his deck?
Why the head sets
Well done Gerry !
I hate watching people shuffle their hands
Watanabe?
Unbroken anyone?
