- One of the greatest players ever, Jon Finkel, faces off against the current reigning world champion, Shahar Shenhar in this Round 6 feature match!
how do you even pick a side in this match?
I'm more torn than Emrakul.
I think this Jon Finkel is going places.
GusXFowler *cough* has gone *cough*
No, but seriously, he's a Hall of Famer since 10 years ago and is one of the most popular magic players in the world.
Matthew Wick Your head The joke
I’m skeptical. He’s got some skill, but he’s gotta put it all together before he can go on a run.
Oh man, Jon forgot to draw at 11:45 when the 2nd manamorphose was on the stack.
yeah, i think he could even had 2 mana to flashback desperate ravings before bolt resolve
And that's when I quit watching the video. I don't like watching people make mistakes.
nomakym lol he still won despite it... And Shahar made a mistake in the last game by playing a creature instead of leaving bolt mana up.
Besides, you'd be a fool to say you've never made a mistake or two playing magic.
+Yattermania and Shahar didnt point it out
+nomakym Might as well say, I don't like watching people play.
He is back! :D
HE IS BACK! :D
At 24:15 I could be wrong about this, but I believe that Finkel could have targeted Nacatl with the original Grapeshot and 1 of the copies while sending the rest at Goyf and cleared them both. Am I missing something?
yea, goyf is 2/3, nacatl is 2/2
5 damage from grapeshot, 3 copies kill goyf, he dies because state based actions performed before each copy resolves and sorcery isnt in the graveyard yet, the rest 2 damage go to nacatl
The way john navigated this is crazy
BDM & RB commentating a jon finkel match? Just like the good ol' days : )!!!
Of course it's always easier to analyze from the outside but at @4:50 shouldn't Jon choose Thought Scour over Manamorphose? He already had a bunch of land and he needs either Rituals/PiF or a Pyromancer Ascension. Thought Scour digs deeper than 'phose and had he hit a Pyro (from Serum Visions) he could turn it on his next turn. Dunno if this was the optimal play.
***** If John wants to combo off, Manamorphose is the only way for him to float blue mana aside from lands.
And Shenhar apologized at the end of the first game. What a class act.
That was finkel apologizing because he mis counted his mana or didnt realize his mana morphose hadnt resolved yet
Remember when naya beat down was an good deck in modern. Oh how times have changed.
How was nacatl a 3/3 at 36:02 ?
Sacred Foundry is a Mountain and Plains dual land. Each triggers a +1/+1 on Wild Nacatl.
I've never seen a guy who's more important to the history of the game, get so royally screwed by land, draw, or 1 missing piece like Finkel does whenever he's on a feature match...which made this win seem so much sweeter. Shenhar is a great guy though, and obviously a bright career ahead having won 2 World Championships.
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@David Jayson instablaster =)
Is it just me or did Jon didn't draw for the last manamorphose on the stack game 1?
you are correct, he forgot to draw his card
Before watching- Go Finkel!
i want to know shenhar's build for this looks really fun
look up big zoo, there should be tons of lists floating around
im referring specifically to shehars build i like the domris and the other card choices he has made
Hey, I use Electromancer in Standard lol it works really well a lot of the time, but not anything like storm
hey SNAP so do i its nice to see other people use it aswell its a actually very good in standard :)
Tim Kennelly It helps that I'm draw to the colors I like and not necessarily the colors the pros are using. I've been working on Izzet since before Gatecrash
Wild Nacatl is banned from Modern, isn't it? Why is Shenhar playing it?
Just got unbanned! Bitterblossom was too, and Deathrite Shaman was banned. I'm really excited to see how will this change the metagame in high level competion.
Finkel still got the moves WP Finkel!
Okay, so how did the 18 goblins thing work exactly?
+Nick Heebsh "Empty the Warrens" activated storm-trigger mechanic from copies of spells.
21:04
7:09 I SAID GOYF
I swear, I have most modern decks from old and current metas, but the moment preordain/ponder got banned I simply stopped understanding how can this deck still compete. I had no problem piloting second sunrise, summer bloom on some casual games/fnm, but whenever I play this deck, I just fold everytime. :x
Jons the best
Everyone always says winning turn 3 is unlikely but I've won turn two with this deck?..
That doesn't mean it is unlikely...?
+Yankevich wakowsky you're right it doesn't mean it's unlikely. But as an example of my results I've played this game in several FNM's and I've won an absolute shit ton of the games by turn 3
+Trevor Ranter Can you show me ur decklist? And is it possible without scalding tarn?
final game is the reason why detention sphere exists
Jan Ole Kvisli Well, that's why I have 2x Bile Blight in main, in my casual UB Midrange at my local FNM :D
in modern?
Jan Ole Kvisli Yep, for some storm, token and even elfs and soul sisters decks :)
nice
52 card deck with street wraith and phyrexian probe
Is useless shiffling a deck if the top dont change
I feel like spellrevver goblin sounds better than goblin electromancer.
I hope Ascendancy Storm does not overtake current U/R Storm
empty the warrens. so good
show more cards.... -.- doesnt want to google every minute
after a while you'll get used to and recognize the names, if they constantly had cards up there it would get annoying having the screen being taken up half the time by cards, which most viewers already know what they are
I keep tcgplayer up at all times when i watch matches
BOLT this nacatl, BOLT you, BOLT this game...
1 unlike?!?! Shahar is you?
This shouldn't be horizontal, but like chess
uhh nacatl was 3/3 not 2/2 he had a mountain and a plains
+DeanGuitarsForLife! Blood moon bro. Temple garden is a mountain.
I believe Patrick Chapman was good but he should've saved his Brimaz when ge was in a slight predicament by his opponents Hero's downfall. Patrick's opponent looked a bit to easy I presume I can beat him with my white,green,&red deck my anti-Jund deck.What I would do is put down a elvish mystic ?turn four dead bridge goliath,next turn dead bridge goliath again by turn six I would have the victory unless my opponent has a Hero's downfall or a syncopate.
epic intro lol
going off turn 1 and 2 with storm is not that hard
Im playing modern U/R storm right now, i run simian spirit guide, which actually makes storm good
I played against Jon finkel
ugh... storm is soooo over played
