This game three is great. Both players are playing amazing.

it seems like a super hard matchup to play but putting off melody on djinn for that long seems sus because it gives them the chance to draw into a stormtamer. I get that he was trying to bait dive down and I have perfect information and he doesn't, but that has to be a consideration

Yepp. Giving them more draws just seems to lower the chance of it landing successfully, especially with Autumns landcount.

Edit: Nooooo

This is a really good game considering Reid mulled to 5.

But that Melody might be it.

That could have been worse given it started off with a mull to 5.

When Reid tried to Trickster the stolen Tempest Djinn, what's he playing around by doing it EOT instead of upkeep?

I was going to say Dive Down, but then I remembered Trickster has flash, so it doesn't matter.

Edit: Opening up Entrancing Melody as an out I guess? But he only has 1 left in the deck at that point, no?

Having more mana available during his turn or bluffing a counter during their turn depending on which upkeep you're talking about.

If Autumn wins this whole thing then I look forward to the giant manbaby meltdowns that will follow

Also I think this is the first PT final in a while that won't be a mirror match

I'm talking about during Autumn's upkeep on the same turn they played it. Bluffing the counter for a Tempest Djinn of Autumn's seems like the most likely answer.

It's such an LSV move, and also fantastic that it's happening.

A small part of me hopes his behavior encourages more sponsorships for magic, because it's another way that professional players could be supported.

I haven't played this format at all but as a spectator I thought that both players had chances to win g3 and g4 but Autumn clearly knew the matchup better and navigated it better(which makes sense since Reid said he was expecting to play krasis in one of the interviews).

It just seems weird that they rebranded anything with “Pro Tour” to Mythic Championship on the stats and coverage, as well as talk about past Pro Tour achievements as Mythic Championship achievements and then in the same breath say “Welcome to our coverage of the first Mythic Championship!” From a non-enfranchised player this would be confusing at first and then once explained... just silly.

Also poking fun at people or correcting them in interviews for calling it the Pro Tour and then immediately after ask “how their Pro Tour preparation for this weekend” went... more silliness
