I clapped right after I saw him rip LED off the ponder shuffle. Commentators had no idea what he was looking for...all he needed was LED and the game was over. It was a wee bit awkward when he went to 2 life to probe to see snapcaster, but I thought he would for sure get there off of the 2 cantrips he had access to casting via petal and mox.Quote:

Bryant's top 8 profile is nice. What was the best card in your sideboard today? -Tendrils of Agony
Already done...
Post sb cascade guy should have let BC start and mulliganed agressively.
Cook advances to the finals. Either against UWR Delver or MUD.
Nice!!! Heart of the storm, watching SCG tooQuote:

This is going to be good.
OMG the LED was golden! Otherwise Bryant would have had only the Petal to cantrip into Tutor/Will
Edit: Therapy for StoP and Grapeshot 4 Clique and face ... lulz
That Grapeshot was the sickest!
Grapeshot on Camera. Happy St. Patricks Day to ALL!
I just started laughing when he cast the Cabal Therapy, realizing that he was going for Grapeshot.
Bryant smiles facing a mulligan to 6 from Ben
Yeah, that's about when I started laughing hysterically.Quote:

Bryant lost game 2 to a topdecked Clique :/
He misplayed.
Pretty lame, guy kept a loose hand and should have been punished. No justice :rolleyes:Quote:

Congratulations :cool:
Weak Hand from Ben enables a EtW for 14 Gobbos on Bryant's side ... Fetching and a Brainstorm didn't show up one of Ben's 2 Explosives and Bryant takes it
Congrats, dood
Bryant cast that Cabal Therapy game 2 when he shouldn't have.Quote:

I'll send you all into the night, with a quote from the SCG Player Profile:

Q: What was the best card in your sideboard today?
A: Tendrils of Agony
Edit: That hat ... :rolleyes:
Definitely a congratulations to Bryant. As did everyone here I lold when I realized grape shot was coming. That game one was freaking masterful
The turn before Bryant's duress the opponent played a ponder (maybe a brainstorm, I was half watching so I'm not sure) and didn't shuffle. Opponent elected not to play his bolt in response to the discard although it was the only card that could be discarded. So it had to be some kind of a value card on top.Quote:

Not many chances he opts to draw a lone fow and it doesn't do anything anyway.
It can't be a spell pierce because :
A) he would have drawn it instead of keeping it second
B) he would have played it in resp to the first ritual
It also couldn't be a stifle for reason A or daze for both reasons.
Therefore it has to be a clique. Once first dark ritual resolves the right play against clique was to play IT and in resp play DR. If opponent plays clique you can still play the last DR with city of brass. If he doesn't we resolve DR and still in resp to the IT play the last DR.
But well you don't have to play perfectly to win at magic. You just need to be better than the other guy. He didn't play clique sooner and if I remember correctly didn't fetch in his turn opening himself to silence in resp to fetching. He also kept a lose hand on the draw against TES, so congratulations to Bryant still.
A good point, thank youQuote:

Congratulations Bryant! Loved seeing you pilot storm through the top 8 to victory. The grapeshot kill was probably the best part by far. Glad you were able to punish that UWR player keeping some really loose hands outside the first one. I also really liked how patient you were with the brainstorm in game 1, some people would run it out there immediately and possibly lose on the spot due to bricking off and drawing blanks for at least two turns. Either way, well done. Glad to see you take it down and not some miracles player or something depressing like that.
I didn't say he was a bad player, I said he made a misplay.Quote:

Good night.^^
Grats on the win! This win has been a long time coming based on the recent meta game shifts.
How was Xantid Swarm? Ning and I have felt that they weren't worth the slots recently.
Went to see a mediocre movie instead of watching your win Bryant, now regretting it. Congratulations dude!
