GP Lille video coverage

Terminus in ur own turn End step. #topplays #europeansaresmarterthanamericans

...Okay, what the crap? It almost feels like I should have walked to GP Lille. Because that play was just awful.

[supremePINEAPPLE]

That match was hilarious.

[Holiday]

Did the Lands player make the 20/20 during the Miracles player's second main phase or end step?

I also like the commentator says three times "he should crop rotation for wasteland now!" Yeah that'll help against the Miracles player's 3 different basics and one Tundra.

Nice! Shardless BUG!!!

[Meekrab]

Is the commentary extremely quiet for anyone else?

[alphastryk]

Now we've described Jace horribly wrong, and a man is fetching after confirming the miracle trigger resolves when he doesn't have priority. Ugh.

[iamajellydonut]

Another quality French product.

It makes me feel like Europe isn't able to compete its way out of a paper bag.

[Megadeus]

To be fair, if you don't know the errata on LED (which removes the mana source and changes it to instant-speed only), then you might think, rather foolishly, that that is A Thing That You Can Do.

If you don't know that needle and stifle don't work on LED, then you are a total sack to be 6-0in a GP

Robin "I play at a speed resembling a thawing glacier" Dolar.

Robin "I play at a speed resembling a thawing glacier" Dolar.

You forgot "I'm also really bad at playing Miracles and miss playing Entreat for 1 4/4, because I don't want to win"

This GP coverage is a succession of really bad plays/ players. At least there is some hope for Day 2.

Both of them played extremely slowly. There was no reason for that game to go to time.

[Darkenslight]

Robin "I play at a speed resembling a thawing glacier" Dolar.

I don't think his opponent should have scooped him in, given that that smacked of slow play. Remember people, CALL A JUDGE.

[Barook]

They changed the rules to improve feature matches and still do nothing against slow plays.

What the fuck.

[JDK]

I know it's the 4th of July, but guys, why this "'mericaaaa, fuck yeah"?

Sure, a European GP Day 1 can't keep up with quality SCG Top8s. :>

But seriously, awful lot of slowplay (even Levy on autopilot.dec) and mistakes.

[Darkenslight]

At least the decks on camera right now are unorthodox twists.

But damn, am I expecting a ban on DTT next week.

[Vicar in a tutu]

Yeah, I hope Dig goes as well. At least it should be banned before the next legacy GP in USA.

Does anyone know what was up with the Pyromancer Ascension in Simonot's Grixis deck?

[Admiral_Arzar]

Does anyone know what was up with the Pyromancer Ascension in Simonot's Grixis deck?

It also has Pyromancer in the name. Pyromancer tribal, bro.

[JDK]

Juza doesn't concede to lethal on board (he would have to find emrakul or wish with one draw + potentially drawn cantrips with this draw) and so both players are out of day 2. wp.

[twndomn]

I don't see what the big deal is.

Wizards picked horrible players to be on camera, and these players made ridiculous plays, simple as that.

Europeans must know what they are doing, how else do we explain the fact that Julian Knab and Marc König only had 9 points? As matter of fact, I am not sure how many of the euroswag players have made day 2. If I'm not mistaken, you need 21 pts (7-2 or better), and Schönegger only had 15. Kai Sawatari, the storm player who Top 8 at Kyoto had 21.
