Thanks, Peach. Love the Miracle lists! Oh, and I see Kram7 is stil on Maverick.:tongue:

[Lejay]

Thank you so much for showing me Marc Duràn loosing his match !!

Just kidding :tongue:

Great job on the videos, thank you very much.

[Pippin]

Thanks for the videos!

Some comments though.
In game 1 of ván Mesquita vs. Marc Durán why didn't Duran attack with his Thalia on turn 3? Opponent was tapped out and had only Stoneforge Mystic in play at that point. That 2 damage was crucial as was evident later whern Marc had to make an Elspeth token instead of pumping few times in a row and threatening lethal.
There were also some other things that weren't as logical, as for example Mesquita putting a turn 3 Batterskull into play when it was obvious that he needed a Terminus at that point since his opponent had multiple creatures, two of them being Mother of Runes. Rather use the mana to Brainstorm or something, though I guess it's still fine since it limits opponents attacks in fear of multiple STP.

edit. wow, game 2 is even more insane. Can't comprehend why is Mesquita so aggresive with his Batterskulls, it's not like he was playing against burn heh. Not using top for multiple early turns all in hope to resolve Stoneforge and Batterskull, and ending on just few nonbasic, missing multiple landrops... hm

I think he played terribly punting in many choices, but that deck's Maverick matchup is so good it forgives lots of mistakes (also, UWM builds with Mystic sound wrong to me). See the game 1 Terminus. Furthermore, winning isn't that hard when you have your opponent stuck in screw :rolleyes:

[Koby]

OMFG this all makes sense now. Kram7 = Marc Duran.

No wonder he's such an asshole.

I don't really want to by that guy, but look what happens in the third video, at 1:35- Manchado thinks about wastelanding Mesquita's Tundra in the upkeep, while he lifts the first card from his deck and puts in on the table (arguably, he's going to draw it for the turn). He decides to cast BS in response to Wasteland, puts the facedown card in hand, and draws 3.
The Brainstorm-ban crusaders jiggling here are collecting valid reasons for their argument! :D

[Thorondor]

yeah he actually brainstorms after the draw step and puts 2 back, don't see a problem there.

Thought he was wastelanded in upkeep (as it would be more logical to do, btw), sorry.

[Michael Keller]

Cool videos.

[feline]

Is this in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, Peru or ? I'm assuming Barcelona Spain but after an hour of internet'ing it up, I can't actually confirm that.

Wow, just wow.

[PeAcH]

It´s Barcelona area in Spain.

[feline]

Thank you. There are 2 decklists that I had to add to my metagame overview and I needed to confirm that, I was fairly certain, but I wasn't 100%, so thank you again.
