19:53 If you have a Spehere of Resistance out, the creatures you cast under Alluren are not free. You still have to pay the 1 mana cost increase for every creature you cast. So playing that Raven Familiar was illegal. Sphere basically kills the combo.
Yeah I called it out at a different point of the video but missed it here. I wish I could say this was the first time either player had missed Sphere of Resistance tax! 😅
9:49 - Wasteland played, activate.
10:38 - Same turn, plays Treetop.
Good catch. Even watching this on replay I didn't notice it (commentary missed it as well).
This was the second time I played against Marshall at this tournament. He beat me in the swiss portion.

This is true and we realized it after the fact.

I play extra lands but also forget when Sphere taxes my opponent, so really my failure to maintain game state evens out.
Looking at the video run time after that epic game one: oh no!
Hey, combo decks can be very quick!
9:48 Roar of the Wurm has been cast
Just here to say you're doing great, I don't mind if you don't know the cards! We can just look them up!
Really appreciate that! I’m always still learning (especially niche decks) and just baseline horrible with card names.

Finals hype!
