God, I literally just went "man, Tom Ross is going to get blown out by Solitude this match, isn't he" then the Terminus reminded me that life was better in 2014.
This video is the epitome of my favorite era of MTG pro play. Great players in the finals of an SCG tourney. No cheating or gaming the system. Opposing archetypes. Paper Magic. And of course the best commentators the pro play circuit has ever had to offer. Can't really get better than this. AND THAT G2 BLOOD MOON FIGHT GODDAMN
I never grow tired of hearing Cedric and Patrick commentate together. No disrespect to the many other talented people that work at the SCG coverage, but they are just too good.
Even 10 years later Tom Ross is still one of the most underrated MtG players of all time. And Cedric and P Sully made a fantastic job at showcasing that with their commentary. We didn't know how good we had it...
Animating both inkmoths and attacking with three creatures was a missplay. Duke could only have 1 swords (he had only 1 card) and was on 9 poison. This way he would get destroyed by terminus. Therefore it was better to only animate 1 nexus and attack with that nexus and the elf.
@@wowmafkees He needed to attack with all 3 to beat entreat the angels for x=2 in that spot. If it's terminus then Reid lives and they're top decking. But if Tom only animates one nexus and it's entreat, he basically loses on the spot. So yeah, hard to find an actual misplay.
This shit said posted 6 months ago, and i was all WTF, these dudes played during COVID and dont age?!?! then i click and see this is from 2014, and Im all "okay"
@@RealBakedShark yeah that would be great if toirnament organizers would allow them... Everybody in my group here stopped playing. Unfortanetly a closest Shop is 200km away.
@@kikikirikiw that’s a bit far ;). But yea with proxies you could try to get a few friends back playing to play some kitchen table legacy. I started using proxies to play with friends that didn’t want to play magic because of the price tag. Now they love it!
Its cool to see Infect! I also built an Infect deck but its very different from Tom's deck, I use *Tyvar's Stand* and *Tamiyo's Safekeeping* to protect my infect creatures but seeing as this match was a long time ago these cards were not yet released so he didn't have access to them. I also use *Slip Through Space* , *Distortion Strike* , and *Artful Dodge* to make my infect creatures unblockable *{::>_
does anyone know what kind of large sharp white dice those are? i would love some of them for spelltable play. mine are too small and shitty for webcam play

I constantly revisit videos like these from 6-8 years ago when everything was just... good :)
I do the same! I'm also working on assembling gauntlets of decks from this era to play for fun. No Solitudes in this house!
I wish we had some more coverage like this for Legacy and Modern. I’m
Tired of arena

Please can we go back to this!!!!

That game 2 was just incredible well played by Tom (Blood Moon turn)
Back then good players made sick plays with simple cards.
These days overloaded power crept cards make shit players looks decent
Ross's play is so clean. I've watched a bunch of his matches now and I'm not sure I've seen a single time when he made any definitive misplay.

Tom dwan and Tom Ross both look similar. And make ridiculously smart plays in their respective game poker and magic.
SCG, bring legacy back!
PLEASE
Agreed!
Yes!
Play in the legacy pit open in October. I'm going for sure. I'm also hoping for card-form Eternal Weekend in 2023 🙏
I miss paper magic. And git probe.
lol I agree with one of those things

Man i miss watching tom ross
we NEED this back!
At around 17min.... I think that I can see Brad Nelson in the background. Best commentators in the game, I miss this era of MTG.
The fact that tom was down 0-1 after the first game and to win 3 games in a row is insane
God damn I miss playing mtg... Had sell my collection due to finance crisis couple of years back.. Damn I miss legacy
Play with proxies:)

I can't believe this is from 12 years ago :O
Magic in 2014 had its own quirks and flaws, but god damn its sooo much better than the garbage game we are left with today
Reid playing with UWx Miracles is very weird to me as a Jund fan.
And he prefers Elves in Legacy
Classic game. Tom Ross + Infect = Auto Watch.
does anyone know what kind of large sharp white dice those are? i would love some of them for spelltable play. mine are too small and shitty for webcam play
MAGNIFICENT! MAGNIFICENT!
Man I miss this so much
please, PLEASE make legacy tournament every weekends, like the old days!
), =
I really miss SCG Legacy Sundays.
I miss those sundays
Anyone have the clip of the commentator dying to regular damage against an infect deck?
what a huge game, so good to watch.
Shahar shenhar spotted behind patrick sullivan's left @17:37
where do they get the die from?
What a class!!!
isn't senseis divining top banned longer than 2020? is this an older video?
This match is from August 2014, since there was no paper magic tournaments during quarantine
@@yuripgg ahhh, thank you buddy
I don’t believe that’s Ross. No leather jacket, no Tom Ross.
Absolute Legends! Tom the Boss Ross!
Throwback as fuck
I love infect.
You can’t convince me nick miller isn’t looking at something... odd
2020 ???????????????
2014*
why didn't he block?
in the last turn? it didnt matter, because the nexus was a 12/12 trample, vendillion is just one toughness and he already had 2 poison counters
Paper magic dead soon tho
F I hope not
Source : trust me
Tell that to all the people that play online EDH dummy
