They have to say SOMETHING. They're commentators and what are they getting paid to do? They're getting paid to talk. Rapt silence isn't exactly entertaining unless it's a super tense moment or something. The reason they whisper when the top 8 happens is because their voices carry across the entire hall if they keep on talking the way they've been talking for several hours straight.

Yes, SCG doesn't know deck names at all. I assume for deck name Tammit wrote TES? At least that's what I would do. Although I once called UB ANT frosted flakes for no reason other than because I could on a decklist registration sheet.

When the opponent knows your decklist I wouldn't blindly go for EtW for 10 turn 1 against a deck with 4 FoW and especially considering Chris Pikula is likely to know how fast TES can be so he might mull to FoW or he might continue to run hot and just naturally have it turn 0.

That was figurative and only in my head. No one actually whispered anything. Note the past tense "you didn't go for it"

Pikula said he was very unfamiliar with the matchup. It was still the wrong play.

And yeah, of course I put T.E.S. as the deck Archetype

I've always been told to call it Five Color Goblin Aggro!
Edit~ Also congrats and sorry for playing ANT again.

Remembers me mentioning quite a while ago, that TES is the best Goblin.dec in the format

When Matt's match goes on blip.tv for the individual match, can someone post it here or message me? I'm not linking to a five hour long video. I did include the report in the opening post.

Happy storming.

after watching: lol @ Brad Nelson

Anyone have tips on playing Therapy to its full potential?

Name what you fear.

Feature match video on opening post.

For all of you guys running Cabal Therapy over Duress, what do you do when you win the coin flip and draw a Cabal Therapy? I feel like I get into a lot of situations where Duress would've been more mana efficient if I could've blind casted it on the play, where I typically have to play Ponder, hold Cabal Therapy and get hit with an Inquisition of Kozilek etc. It feels a bit awkward sometimes.

I think at least in TES the unique slot comparable is Silence and this is the reason - You 'll need to keep silence to play it later and the same is aplicable to Therapy unless you have Gitaxian.

I think this is a matter of taste more than other thing. I just prefer running 3 duress 4 silence, but feel stronger with ANT with 4 thereapys 3 duresses in my meta - Still prefer playing TES...

I always have the probe, so I can't give you a real answer. waiting a turn can usually give you enough information or they don't develop a board at all.

Just ordered a playset of new Modern Masters Cities of Brass to replace my Fifth Edition ones. That's going to look SO much better! :smile:

Same reason I don't have black bordered duals. Too expensive for me.
I'd much rather have all duals and all fetch and so on, than have only a selection of stuff but all pimped up. :wink:
