Does anyone have a link to the story about Paul Rietzl attacking into Jon Finkel's Aetherling while Finkel was tapped out, Finkel just looking at Paul and saying that he thinks Paul has nothing but doesn't block anyway, and then Rietzl just throwing his hand down and saying, "I have NOTHING."? I think Owen told it on an episode of Limited Resources at one point, among other places.A big flaming stink posted:isn't that Alchemist's Refuge? MTGO is a quality program. I didn't have art on Augur all night, my own or my opponents, except one time when it was on the stack it had the Doom Blade art.

I think Owen told it on an episode of Limited Resources at one point, among other places. I've heard that story, when someone was talking about the value of a bluff, because Finkel was at 20 life (or some high life total) and it was something meaningless like a 2 power creature so why bother he was going to win anyway, and after getting through his 'bluff' Rietzl throws down his hand of all lands and instantly conceded. The 'I make a million more cats' Finkel story was one of my favorites. He's hysterical and also does incredible limited commentary if anyone was watching tonight.

myDad posted:Any more information on this? Difficult to find It was in the pro tour AER testing I guess, where they were trying to figure out if they were going to play Saheeli Combo. Apparently Finkel went to combo off in his second main phase, not realizing it until too late, but hoping to just get a concession. His opponent (I forget who) rather than just say out loud "you are in your second main" instead, after Jon combo'd and made a bunch of cats, just said, "and then what?" playing dumb. So Jon, who can't declare attackers in his second main phase, just starts going, louder "I make a Million, BILLION more cats" "what then"(even louder) "I make a TRILLION more cats" "what then" and this goes on for so long the rest of the testing stops and everyone starts watching as he keeps thinking up higher and higher numbers, before finally just saying, "I pass your turn".

This is dumb in limited. Like you take a decent board, draw 2, opponent discards 2, probably make a fairly decent trade when your opponent is forced to double block. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Jun 21, 2017 |

With exert there are a lot of situations where you won't have profitable blocks, it might even end up as strong as Prepare//Fight turned out to be.

Should we be concerned about the Solemnity/Thing in the Ice combo? It seems incredibly degenerate and blue can make it almost impossible to interact with and is good at assembling what it needs.

It seems incredibly degenerate and blue can make it almost impossible to interact with and is good at assembling what it needs. With four specific cards (turn 3 Solemnity, turn 4 Thing in the Ice, Expedite, hold up Dispel), three-color decks can get a flipped Thing in the Ice on turn four and protect it once, the same turn the previous attempts at all-in Thing in the Ice decks could flip it. Nah, I'm not that concerned.

So the first Standard SCG Invitational since Marvel ban is 7/8 for top eight G/B lists. Edit: Correction this tournament was 6/17, and I believe ban was official 6/19. Still looks like G/B may be the new king though. DangerDongs fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jun 21, 2017 |
