You should not put dices on Tarmogoyf, there are no counters on it. Just write down how large he is on a piece of paper.

His cave (cycling) went berserk (making CSC 7/7), but your draw after that was berserk too, with the NO. I know you play Sylvan Library, but otherwise it would have been very hard with only a force + blank card in your hand against a good hand from you opponent.

WTF is happening in game 1 of the Top4 Match?? Why is the guy with the Survival.dec scooping to an announced Bant Charm??? I mean he has got two mana open, Squee in his hand AND a Vial with four counters..... So he can either remove a counter from his Weaver and then get it back into play or (although the less smarter way) do it the other way round. Normally he should have won right away. Do I miss anything here??

Also, the Bant lists looks quite interesting in featuring Sylvan Library. Were the decklists already posted somewhere?

Great work! Especially cutting the clips to only show what's important: no shuffling, showing what cards are played, ...

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm very interested in the lists too!

The lists won't be published I think. But the Team America's one is this. He is running Spell Snare and Sinkhole and not running Thoughtseize.

In any case he could tap a bird to fog, put the spike on botton, fetch it back with survival on EOT, set vial to 4 on next turn for free and lock the whole thing.

30 turns later, he would put counters in two tarmogoyfs until then get bigger than Prog and race countertop until death.

I really do not understand why the Top 4 survival player scoop in G1 ? Am I missing something?

He bant charmed on his own turn....

I don't what to tell you. He had everything untapped during survival's turn, then fetched, then bant charmed during survival's end step. You don't see bant using his sylvan library between survival passing the turn and the bant charm, whereas bant clearly used the sylvan library the turn before during his draw step. Are you seeing something I'm not?

You're completely right, my apologizes.

But anyway, if he survivaled the Magus on turn 3 he would crush the ProBant player.

Your opponent in the finale made a lot of mistakes. For example, why would you daze a loaming shaman in that situation? He could have dazed your NO or your 2nd goyf.
Anyway gratz with the results.

I'm recording the video, not playing ;)
