The atmosphere in that room that day was amazing. So many people invested in the match, the excitement was infectious. I miss big legacy events so much. Paper magic at its peak.

If you're playing against Storm and an actual storm begins outside, so loud that you can hear it inside, I think you just concede.

This match is played SO WELL by the Storm player.

An actual storm starts while the storm player is storming, this can't just be a coincidence.

One of the best match's i have ever seen.

Masterclass of Magic The Gathering. Thanks Rodrigo Togores for this amazing play.

One of the best matchs of legacy that I ever seen

Legacy is marvelous and this match is the proof.

such a well played match and the commentary was superb, not normally one to watch legacy but this was too good to pass.

This might be the most well played storm match I've ever seen.

Insane Play by Togores. Though he was done when I saw his opponents hand in G3. Won anyway. Kudos!

Benjamin Vollmann exactly Nicolas just needed to surgical therapy after the first one resolved. Considering that's basically only way he loses if his hand gets ripped apart. If all else you still have snap surgical when past in flames is cast

this match is wonderful. Wow ! What is pleasure in seeing this.

This is my all time favorite commentary ever

missing these live matches; a nice break from the MTGO uploads

I thought that game 1 was intense, but that game 3! Such a great match and amazing performance from Togores

@azir64 It was a Cabal Therapy naming FoW, so Tholance just discarded the Fow he had in his hand, leaving another on top of his library to be drawn later with Top. But Togores had a Past in Flames to be drawn with top as well. Very well played by both.

1:03:23 not that it matters, but he didn't pay B for the abrupt decay.

the best game of magic I've ever seen g3

The ending of game three and these emotions of a winner is what I feel too when I finally get it done. The reason to play these types of decks.

The ANT master! unforgettable match.

42:12 missed snapcaster attack, unsure if Rodrigo could have pulled it off with 1 less turn. Regardless, absolutely beautiful play from him, glad to see him take the trophy.

That's what this game's all about, baby! Skill, luck, and pimp ass cards. Sick game!

hilarious seeing a Magician play Magic

In game 3, at 1:00:00 after the snap, surgical and PiF resolve, Rodrigo has lethal bc his opponent went to 10 to cast surgical, and rodrigo had 2 mana floating and 4 lands untapped, so he could have cast the LED he was holding, played the tendrils and cracked LED to have the mana to pay for 5 copies of tendrils to resolve through the flusterstorm he knows about on top of his opponents library. There's not card in his opponent's 75 that could beat that play. By casting the brainstorm out of his yard he runs the risk of not being able to kill his opponent but got lucky and hit decay.

I think he actually did. He had 2 black tho so everything was legal

In the first match, round to minute 9:30 Nicholas played a force of will without exiling a card, and then with the second Fow he exiles snap caster and then he played a brainstorm with the chances of hit and counter spell, isn't that to cheat?

Play at the end was a little sloppy but everything else was probably the best match (where storm won) I have ever seen. plx more

wow

At 42, did he forget to attack with snapcaster mate?

Comeback!

funnily enough at 57:00 snapcaster flashback flusterstorm on the past in flames would have won the game on the spot if the arid mesa could still fetch a blue source for the flusterstorm on top which it couldn't because he had 3 tundra and 2 volcanics in play.

ReveredGamer, ant is sorta the norm storm deck. the variations are like The Epic Storm, which uses burning wishes & rite of flames instead of cabal rits & dark petition. then there's doomsday which technically is a storm deck, but you usually play that more to make a statement over winning haha

Why did Tholance keep in Terminus G2 ???

Empty the Warrens i believe?

52:30 - if he only fetched for a basic land...

Could Tholance have won if he went Surgical, Snap, Flusterstorm on PiF? Make the Togores use up a ton of mana paying for the first, hit it with a second and probably not leaving him enough mana to storm off?

game one he didnt discard a blue card to force of will ? ... or am i missing that ?

Nicolas made one mistake in game one. Countering the tutor, let it resolve, then counter whatever he casts next. The math shows he's not dead if he waits and Rodrigo grabs tendrils.

Tholance should have snap flusterstormed the past in flames. Storm of 5 after the surgical gave him perfect information. He can then draw flusterstorm on top to beat the tendrils.

@KumanoMTG

He fetched the wrong land with his previous fetchland and had no blue sources remaining in the deck for that Mesa. Otherwise, it would have been the winning play.

@Willd2p2

8 жыл бұрын

Could he not have tapped top to draw flusterstorm, cracked the mesa for a plains, used the plains to cast snapcaster, targeting flusterstorm, and then cast the flusterstorm from hand on the past in flames? That still plays around any line involving cabal therapy whilst letting you cast the two flusterstorms you need. Incidentally I think Togores missed a much simpler win after the flashback on surgical. Simply playing LED and casting tendrils would be enough - he would have 5 mana left after casting the tendrils, so could pay for 5 copies of flusterstorm and deal 10 damage.

couldn't he have won by playing lions eye diamonds playing tendrils when opponent flusterstorms sacrifice both led? and pay for 6 of them to resolve to win?

@Rhyooski

The storm count was a lot higher than displayed

@Tada123123

7 жыл бұрын

The storm count is irrelevant however. Tendrils will make X copies and Flusterstorm will make X+1 meaning that you simply need to pay for 5 copies of tendrils to resolve since your opponent is at 10. Togores himself has since said that searching for an abrupt decay opened himself up to a non-deterministic line. Either way this is a masterfully played game.

So many great one liners just completely went over the co-host's head :/

GOTY

In reality the storm player did a wrong play at the risk of losing if he hadn’t found the decay...after the second surgical he had basically won...cast two led and tendrils,opponent draw and do flusterstorm...crack leds for six mana and pay for six copy countered of tendrils...gg

Maybe they should hire some casters that know something about legacy .

There's something suspect about the storm player shuffling after he fetches. That's definitely not sufficient and the way he does it it's possible for you to manipulate your deck to some extent.
