Dezani has sold his soul to get the draft to go like this. No other explanation. Sold it to several demons simultaneously, actually. loving hell, man. Sleep of Bronze fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Oct 10, 2014 |

Yeah, this deck is completely insane. If he doesn't sweep with this thing I will be shocked. \/ Icy Blast now too.

I think Dezani is going to end up with Knuckleblade, Temur Charm, Temur Ascendancy, and multiple Bear's Companions in his final deck. This IS limited, right?

^^^ They're also streaming live on YouTube, which I've had no problems with so far.Entropic posted:Is he just the the only one at the table who wants to touch Blue or what? I strongly suspect every other player at the table sat down with a heavy White/Black bias. Dezani just capitalized on playing open colors.

I can't wait until he absolutely blows out someone else in blue with that Icy Blast. Shouldn't have passed that thing, man! edit: and then he immediately plays into the obvious Weaponmaster :/

Basically the only way Dezani's deck loses is to mana screw. Which is exactly what's happening to him.

It's not even one of those hands where you understand the desire to risk a one-lander. It's not like "oh man if I rip the land I have all this action." Dude rips two off the top and still has only two plays.

AATREK CURES KIDS posted:"I'll just make an unnecessary gamble that leaves me dead to a creature with haste... Oh, it's a Mantis Rider." Yeah if Dezani had played the Tusker instead of flipping, he would've only taken 9 damage even with that Mantis rip from his opponent. I guess Magic is hard?

So game 1 he kept a 1-lander, how'd he punt game 2?

Guys Dezani was dead without the mantis rider- He had 10 life and Seth had a 3 power creature and a weaponmaster. He left himself dead to a very likely morph (His previous block that game even played around that morph being a weaponmaster) to keep a witness of the ages around.

Oh, it's a Mantis Rider." he was dead to an efreet flip without the mantis rider. and he had to choose between flipping his 4/4 or adding a 6/4. is there a term for tanking for minutes then making the exact wrong play?

Entropic posted:So game 1 he kept a 1-lander, how'd he punt game 2? He's at 11 life, opponent has no cards in hand, attacks with everything (including a facedown Witness of the Ages) into his opponent's board of a War Behemoth and two facedown morphs. He has an Avalanche Tusker in hand. A facedown morph blocks the Witness of the Ages, so Dezani pays 5 to flip the Witness. That leaves him without enough mana to cast Avalanche Tusker, so his opponent rips Mantis Rider, casts it, flips Efreet Weaponmaster, and kills him because Dezani had no blockers.

I think the difference was he already killed another Weaponmaster Game 2, so he assumed it was unlikely his opponent would have a 2nd one in his deck.

It's not like Dezani needed to save the Witness, since casting Avalanche Tusker was the correct play against every card in the format except End Hostilities.
