Before Modern Horizon’s set this format was such a good magic to play…
this dude knows stuff.
that power creep! we are old
Best Magic the Gathering match I have ever seen. One of the reasons I fell in love with Jund.
agree been playing magic since beta and ive watched every bit of footage on youtube, i always come back to this tournament. Shouta's deck is so ahead of the pack. His match with Finkel is also great from this event.
I always look back at this match with sadness as if watanabe cheated during the event Shouta was robbed of a world championship title.
Definitely. Hard to say, but it does bring all of his past accomplishments into question.
@@nathana5718I always looked up to him as a Magic player, I was killed when I found out he had cheated because it makes me wonder if he earned his title of “Best Player in the World” during his early 2000’s run without cheating.
@@skylar5257 Yeah man I was gutted too. Was an absolutely huge Watanabe stan during that era. Was hard not to be with his record.
Best all time mtg modern match ever played, to me. I watched it so many times I basically remember all the game moves.
My type of modern, grindy decks trying to out value the other
i totaly love it aswell its so entertaining.
When magic was still nice! Not that op power creep today. Companion smh
this was a great format
When magic was still magic. RIP
Wow. Some of the best magic I've ever seen played. Thanks Wizards for uploading these. It really made my week.
Also, I was really sad when the Invitational was discontinued. In my opinion this tournament has everything that made the invitational worth following. Love the new tournament structure.
Apparently Yasooka built this deck on Wednesday before the tournament. WOW.
"What a match! What a week! What a nabay!"
I don't find Rich Hagon's analysis annoying at all really. Sometimes the things he say are a bit brash but he just commentates the matches and he's really passionate about the game, he also does a fantastic job of leading commentary and keeping the analysis going which is quite difficult.
How is he brash, though?
+Yosef Estill he does tend to hype up some players to the point that it seems like he's undervaluing or even insulting their opponents skill. Could be considered brash in my opinion.
Yeah, I guess can see that.Condoriano
Condoriano
I guess I see that as more lame and annoying than anything else.
+Yosef Estill that's fair.
Watching this in 2021 and this is so entertaining. Love both the decks and the gameplay
best commentary team, only marshall is missing to complete the perfect trio
Agreed
Nah that would be Cedrick and Patrick
Wow! That has always been one of my favorite matches in mtg
One..?
Very tight match from start to finish
I totally agree. This is how magic should be, dynamic and paced, while every move gets the time for concidderation it needs.
Wizards, you should back to this setup.
LOL All the Bloodbraid Elf comments aged well.
ik
who came here after the disappointing Watanabe news?
makes you wonder how much he cheated up until the point of no return. pretty much invalidates his entire time playing magic competitively.
He Did not cheat he is a good man and It was confirmed only a couple cards were bent but the were all different cards and he has a different shuffle style
@@juanrhinehart9256 where did you get that information? The information I saw was several marks on several cards investigated by several judges and staff conclusively resulted in a ban
C Q I thought you were talking about pro tour amonkhet
@@juanrhinehart9256 ah gotcha, gotcha. ok i was wondering if you had info i didnt!
A friend at work mentioned that he played MTG a lot, so I figured I'd check it out. Just ordered the 2014 fat pack, Chandra starter deck, and the 2014 deck builder. I'm seriously excited to get started! I've known about MTG since I was a kid, but never played for some reason.
Best of the Best.That was epic,easly the best final match of the last two years.Cant wait for the 2013 championship.
You guys are great commentators so far (the first game), and, maybe in part because the players are going so fast, this is exciting to watch!
shame yuuya is a cheater :// was one of my favs 10-5 years ago.
magic the gathering rocks
+Jeff Morse King Autismo.
I've never played or watched a game of Magic before...just imagine how i feel watching this :)
You have to be of a special breed to be this good at Magic
Stop at 42:20 to see Aurelia, The Warleader back at the big screen, unfortunate the camera view is not complete, but still it worth it.. Spectacular view.
My buddy Josh got me into Magic The Gathering and now I'm hooked. God help me.
Drives me crazy how much they fidget with their hands, cycling through their cards and what-not.
What a match what a week WATANABE
this deserves more likes.
I've never played before... But I felt the tension right in my seat.
This is great!
This is the Next level play of Magic that I like
Game 1: 2:34
Game 2: 27:10
Game 3: 42:29
Game 4: 1:12:30
Game 5: 1:23:48
its 2022 and these decks still look solid
i though the commentator was gonna make it so lame but that intro is quite epic got me pumped
If still find my comments insulting, then I compliment you for your incredible moral upstanding, you are a better man than I.
Liliana sitting right there with 4 counters, commentator mentioning "Doesn't want to cast Clique-yet to dodge the Maelstrom pulse; Doesn't want to cast it despite the vial to dodge a potential second pulse"
...Good job.
A lot of what they're saying is advanced terminology for pro players that most of us casual players just ignore. These things will make more sense in time.
bring pack table top magic, I can't stand online arena anymore
PLEASE PLEASE turn the volume up!!!!
A friend at church introduced me to this game, NOW I REALLY WANT TO GET A STARTER DECK AND START PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started playing MTG after I blew out my knee 2 years ago. I couldn't skate, or play ball any more so I began to enter my more "nerdier" side as an outlet of productivity. As I progressed I began to find that about half of my friends played magic growing up, but never said anything about it because it is "nerdy", and didn't consider me to be someone who would be interested. However the more, and more I played my friends all started playing again, and now I have weekly tournaments at my house.
that banter at about the 22:00 mark about "huntmaster of the fails" was funny AF haha. too good.
At 6:50, if you look closely, he does three shuffles and each time he cuts exactly to a Dark Confidant and puts it on the bottom. Not saying it's cheating, just a crazy odds.
god i miss good magic, arena sucks
Don't worry man I had to wait a month and a half to fully understand this video... I feel your pain
You can look up the decks that the players used. I googled "2012 players championship decklists" and found good links that youtube doesn't want me posting.
You can also look up any specific cards that you're not familiar with by typing some of the card name into google along with "mtg," and you'll get an image of the card.
That should help you keep up.
1. Drawing Cards=more access to spells to answer with anything the opponent throws down.
2. Its not used in EVERY black deck, just the ones that need the extra boost.
3. In endgame situations, it prevents you from drawing lands (or at least you kill off two at one time).
4. A few damage is really insignificant and if its going to cost you, 1 toughness creatures aren't hard to get rid of.
5. It's still a 2 for a 2/1 which is good.
Thank you!
This isn't on television. This is on an internet stream.
God, they are scary good. Intense play and was very interesting to watch.
I love that they put images of the sanctuary cat up on the side
I'm glad my rants are as entertaining to other people as they are ti me :D
I hate always going away in September... Means I miss the best prereleases... :/
you came to the video, solely to insult the people in it... tell me how fulfilling YOUR life is...
Welcome to magic ive been playing for 2 years and i miss half of modern
Sadly it seems like Watanabe often cheated back the days with marked sleeves.. Even got removed from Hall of fame.. Still a nice game to watch here! :D
Well “back then” was never verified if he cheated, he’s only been caught once and that was a couple years ago THEN he was removed. Unfortunately we won’t know how long he cheated if he did back then, but it does put into perspective his explosive entrance and instant fame in the MTG Pro scene and makes me wonder how much of it was helped from cheating if any.
Now you only have to watch one of them :)
What a clever response for someone who seems to be pride himself on having intellectual interests.
This is a complicated format to try to get into in the first place. It is called the modern format, and consists of cards, all the way back from eight edition (2003). The amount of knowlege you would need to fully understand this format is breathtakin, and at this level, with this pace... It is no wonder you are getting confused by it, i know i would, back in 2003.
When Aether Vial drops Turn 1.... you can't help but feel a little uneasy as an opponent lol, as a Legacy player from like 2003-2013 that's what it always felt like for me in tourneys >.>
True that. I'm not saying they're lazy at all. I'm glad they're doing what they like. If you're going to do something, you may as well be good at it.
Congratulations to Watanabe! Well played, I must say!
yea same here,kind of interesting,i dont play any trading card games anymore but when i was younger it was yu gi oh or pokemon i never tried magic
these players are fricking scary good
I´ve never seen someone use so well Olivia Voldaren
i like how after he lost he kept the same face!
You should give it a go someday. It's a lot of fun. Start with the video games first if you don't want to fork out much money or have anyone to play with.
That Watanabe guy sure looks happy.
Got into magic a few weeks ago. Thought I'd watch this video to really get into it and learn some more advanced stuff.
I have no idea what half the words the announcers are saying mean. Fucking hell.
i hope you have gotten better pal
I think that they will fix te volume soon,they are posting without corrections to keep the videos fresh(edit the sound and renderize consumes a lot of time)
There are some cards that let you play multiple lands in a turn, such as Rites of Flourishing and Explore, but usually ramp spells are limited only to green.
Should have someone look over the final product of these videos. The audio is always very low and often one second behind.
I wonder if he was cheating here, too.
Really enjoyed that Inquisition turning into a Bump in the Night at 1:13:05
Audio difficulties goddammit
When this is your daily job, it doesn't seem so big.
What a match! What a week! Wata-na-be!
because they're basically chess matches. There is a huge card pool. You have to sit and think constantly about what you can do vs. what your opponent can do. You can't see your opponents hand when you play so you have to play the mental game. ESPECIALLY with as much on the line as there is.
The days of Bloodbraid Elf in Modern lol
hehehehehehehe
HOLLA AT YA BOY
haha
it's back! yeah
lol
this is so much better than YGO worlds
Sanctuary Cat is the most adorable magic card.
What cracks me up about the volume, is that you can barely hear the commentators yet you can hear every click or snap from the players flicking their cards (O.o)p figure THAT out!
The good old days where emptying your hand to Lilly against Cryptic decks was one of the worst thing you could do lol
I love modern and (maybe) legacy. My aether vial might make my simic merfolk deck unstoppable.
I just found out that this thoughtsieze card that was gathering dust in the corner of my room is worth £20 in its lightly played condition. I've had it for 4 or 5 years now and not once did i think to check its value.
19:45 I don't know Japanese but I thought he sighed "finally" at the end of that round.
If you have played for a long time, and know the format, what cards are good, and often used, and look up the eventual ones you miss, it's not so difficult. It demands some devotion, however.
And now Blood Braid Elf is banned. Nice.
Larone13 lol
like fuck it is if your reading this in 2020
This video is a bit too loud, could you please lower the volume the next time you record? My ear drums will never be the same, thank you.
Technically, a person that can talk passionately about at least one thing is a nerd. Calling someone a nerd is basically saying, "Hey, you really like something." But it's illogical to say that anybody who likes mtg is nerdy toward it.
Jace, the Mind Sculptor is only legal and is played in legacy.
Liliana of the Veil is played in standard, modern, and legacy.
Guruk Relentless is played in standard and a bit in legacy.
All the planeswalkers legal in standard see some play.
Have you ever seen a pro tour game go to time? The reason they play slow is because they are analyzing the situation, and trying to make sure the play they are about to make is correct. They ARE playing for tens of thousands of dollars, after all, and it would suck to blow that on an obvious misplay.
THIS.. IS.. MAGIC!!
You should try it, but I wouldn't start out with the format they're playing (Modern) because it is REALLY EXPENSIVE. I would recommend buying two intro packs and play with a friend and see if you like it. Hope you enjoy!
I feel ya. I love playing Magic with friends but I really couldn't care whether or not I win or lose. I wish they used dice though, for some reason that makes it so much more fun, putting dice on cards.
it doesn't say that. No card does, mainly because you can't add a card to your mana pool. You add mana to your mana pool. That is what that card does. 1 Black or 1 Red mana, specifically.
because both players know what's in shouta's hand
love the olivia self win game haha good job dude
It's not legacy, it's Modern. Legacy has some insane diversity. Modern is still a relatively young format, so people tend to stick to what they know is good. That being said, there is still a fair bit of diversity in the format. Cards like goyf, Snapcaster, Hierarch, Thoughtseize, Bloodbraid, etc are going to see a lot of play because they're powerful and they're reliable.When cards start getting overplayed, they'll see hate, and people will find alternatives. It'll just take a little while.
