      Uro/King Crimson:

      - moves within skipped time: extra land almost like extra turn, but avoiding his fate (self sacrifice) with Crystal Shard/time skips
      Only one turn/one moment until victory - 1:10:45 “Yatta! I’ve won!”
      - Suddenly, -Goblin Engineer- Goblin Experience Requiem pulls out the piano.
      1:13:20 = “This is Requiem.”
      He strikes Josh with Dementia, forcing him to forever relive his moment of victory 1:14:20 yet never reach it - drawing a card:)

Crim dies so Jimmy can use his powers to get mirage mirror (stand arrow), then uses Nahiri (golden experience) to get another one, so he can make Xenagos and altar of dementia (golden experience requiem). sounds about right.

      @@mamasboii9437 actually he's right. He overmilled himself, and was drawing three for each creature cast even on a full hand. Jimmy and crim pulled a nice sequence of plays at the end, but Josh only lost because of his greed. And also because of a simple deckbuilding mistake, a single copy of og ulamog or kozilek would make his engines run forever and be inmune to mill. In a deck that actively wants to draw a ton of cards and mill itself, it seems a decent backup.

      Add to that the fact that Jimmy used Purphoros (god he loves), Metalworker (a card he won an early episode with), Mirage Mirror (has Neheb, the cursed commander on the art), Altar of Dementia (strong contributor to his Hogaak performance) and kind of pulled off what Graham did to him, and it definitely feels like an anime ending - it all came together. That, and he never cast a blue card in that final turn; only red!

    45:08 Josh is completely right here. if you know someone has Cyclonic rift or a counterspell in their hand, force them to use it. this is why, I always agressively attack the person that has answers in their hand that I know about. they think that if they say "I wouldn' attack me, I have cyclonic rit in my hand", I will attack someone else, no, I will attack you and force you to use it, because every time I don't, it's like one extra use of it you get for free.

      @@Unforgiven11 Yep, as a Talrand player that's true. If my opponents start coming at me without fear of counterspells and bounces, eventually my juice will run out and they "win by exhaustion" before I am able to really lock down the table for good. So yes, going with no fear is the best option when you know the control player has something in his hand, instead of avoiding it allowing just for the control player to keep stacking more control in his hand, while controling without doing anything just by people avoiding him.

    • @TheRealSarceus

      Well... Just to play devils advocate. His deck wants to mill himself, he wants things in his graveyard. If he mills an Eldrazi he loses his discard pile to his library. This is counter intuitive to what the deck is trying to do.

      @@papacalypse154 Not quite. Any deck that has a bulk strategy of drawing/self milling a ton of cards should have an escape route should that plan go south. Anything from an eldrazi, to Gaea's Blessing to even a Jace, Wielder of Mysteries or Laboratory Maniac.
      Honestly, while Josh talked a lot about using the escape mechanic and needing to feed that, IT WAS BARELY USED. He ended up feeding a beast that cost him the win. Long story short... there is always room in your draw a bazillion plan for Kozileck.

    • @iTiago98
      @iTiago98 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      No judge or anything here, but i thought that rule was intended for the metamorphosis cards, in order to avoid people playing things as metamorphosis when they really are not. This case being a manifested card, and not a metamorphosis, i see no point for the rule to also be applied. Although if the wording is literally the one you said, it does apply even if it made no sense. My question is, is there a reason for manifested cards to also be revealed that i am missing? Or is it just that the wording of the rule happens to include them?

    • @Snarwin
      @Snarwin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@iTiago98 Keeping track of which face-down cards are morphs and which are manifests can get difficult on a crowded board (especially if you don't have access to the morph/manifest overlay tokens), so it's easier to just apply the same rules to all of them.

      Also am I missing something here? At 1:02:53 Josh uses "one green floating" and adds 2 blue(taps one island because of zen resurgent) to cast a 3 cmc fade into antiquity... then immediately afterwards at 1:03:15 he says "i still have the one floating, so I'll add..."
      Did he not just use all of his floating mana?
      Edit: then he conveniently has 4 untapped mana for his counterspell... seems a little fishy

      @iTiago98 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@bongsesh from a quick review, it seems like he did miss misscount that floating green, but has no real impact because then he adds 6 to his manapool for a 5 mana mulldrifter. It is still kind of sketchy, because he attacked in between, but I don't think that was much of a slip, he had the mana for everything, even for the counterspell. To be fair, zen resurgence is a messy card, I always lose count when I have it on the battlefield xD
