High Quality magic right here. Also, no collected company, which is nice, 'cause there's a ton of it in the other decks. It's fun to watch what two pro-level decks can do when they get access to an utterly stupid amount of mana.
+Zak Aaron Mylastname Actually, because of how ugly it all looks, it's subtly distracting to your opponent. That's a little advantage, but it can be huge competitively.
+Kadeem Alexander presumably the manland came in 1st or 2nd turn and became untapped before the second swamp came in. Maybe, I might be mis-interpreting your question.
Ruinous path? Eesh. Similar things were said about Lili last hope and Gideon Ally, though. Gideon was super dominant for this beast of a standard run, with the extended rotation
Probably. Jace is still a good card, but when his filtering was really good for making your mana base work and he had fetches to fill the yard, he was ridiculous. Now he's a little too slow against decks like Humans and Company.
@@Brisk83 So I added 2 mirrorpools, 2 torment hailfires, 2 thoughtseizes for the duresses, 3 hero's downfall for the ruinous path, and dropped 1 copy of languish. www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2424771#paper This is the deck I play.
+Ivan Gomez 35:35 "Ultimate price staying in hand, giving him an answer to Dragonlord Atarka" It is corrected a couple minutes later, but Tim definitely says it is an answer.
+Callum Flude (Thunderbug) it's a thing I saw a few people comment about in last round. Brad's always fidgeting with something, cards, glasses... meanwhile john finkel is making a couple faces but is otherwise stoic
+Aaron Wolter What exactly do you want out of Standard? There's a top 8 with 8 unique lists and plenty of other strategies that didn't quite get there, slow grindy decks, aggressive decks, burn, ramp, combo, midrange. Like literally what is it you don't see in standard that you wish were there?
+ladyrosie parks I hate the new rotation making it so expensive like if I want a jace or a playset I have to pay $300-$400 as in the meta it's really different but that will change when dragons and origins rotates, when EM comes out its going to be a stagnant meta.
+Aaron Wolter so what you're saying is standard is so bad because jace is expensive on a video of two decks facing off that got into the top 8 neither of which plays blue?
+ladyrosie parks I've always hated standard you use the best cards that are now but when they rotate out your cards are so useless when I play magic I want to use the cards I buy not be completely screwed when my deck rotates it's starting back at square one edh is the only thing I play I used to play standard but am a college student and can't afford to keep spending 200-300 dollars I was with standard for the 3 set rotates but the 2 is to fast for me
Jon Finkel is basically the reason we need a Hall of Fame.

Comment if you're here in 2024. I loved Jon's GB deck. Praying one day we can play this in pioneer.
Jon finkel's deck is so awesome
39:59 "Nissa with 9 loyalty" nice
+Sean Tavares - I want that 9 sided dice!
Gotta love the 9-sided cube.
JOHN FINKEL IS THE MAN... :o This seasons past is bonkers
43:05 caught you out guys.. Brad Nelson in middle right of screen, he must of used the pyromancers goggles on himself.
hahaha best comment
Wow, good catch!
Brad had the worst draws Ive ever seen on camera in Game 1.
Finkel on control, that's a scary sight!
I really like both of these decks a lot.
finkel is the king
finkel is the king

Good LSV interview in the last few minutes of this video.
did anyobe notice at around 16:40. nissa was played, but how, he had two swamps and GB manland
+Kadeem Alexander presumably the manland came in 1st or 2nd turn and became untapped before the second swamp came in. Maybe, I might be mis-interpreting your question.
+Parker Dixon-Word meaning he had 1green mana and 2black mana. so how was nissa played
+Kadeem Alexander Real? Nissa only needs a single green and two generic to cast... He had the right mana.
looking back in 2019... how do any of these decks beat oko? power creep is real
Ruinous path? Eesh. Similar things were said about Lili last hope and Gideon Ally, though. Gideon was super dominant for this beast of a standard run, with the extended rotation
Jon Finkel, still the best player in the world so many years on.
Is this the end of 90 to 100 dollar Jace?~!
Probably. Jace is still a good card, but when his filtering was really good for making your mana base work and he had fetches to fill the yard, he was ridiculous. Now he's a little too slow against decks like Humans and Company.
Wow. Great blackgreen deck tech...
This is a great match!! Game 2- Finkel's starting hand is soooo good if he can HIT ONE MORE LAND LOL
Amazing!
This is the best kind of mtg imo
Anyone else notice Jon Finkel f up his land around the 20 minute mark? Tapped 2 swamps to naturalize.
+OnlyYour XMan I think that was a Hissing Quagmire
+OnlyYour XMan it was actually hissing quagmire and a swamp
I see the hissing quagmire now
+OnlyYour XMan i had to back up and watch the untap into his turn.
+OnlyYour XMan the back card was the man land
0:39 "Pro Tour Chateaus Over Innistrad"...god he's been grating on me this Tournament.
I am playing jon's deck for Pioneer format!
How's it been going, I came here for inspiration as well!
@@Brisk83 pretty good!
@@PovZ123 Awesome, what adjustments did you make?
@@Brisk83 So I added 2 mirrorpools, 2 torment hailfires, 2 thoughtseizes for the duresses, 3 hero's downfall for the ruinous path, and dropped 1 copy of languish.
www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2424771#paper

Hey man I want to play this deck in pioneer rn any suggestions for an adjustment?
Finkel just skinned Brad's hand alive in the last round.
has everyone forgot about feludar sovereign? 40 life win game.
I havent seen much 40 life around, have you?
Man, Randy, I sure hope Brad didn't scoop game one because Infinite Obliteration was going to get his Fall of the Titans...
Obliteration can't get his fall
+Kenny Wesle Exactly.
+Kenny Wesle Randy buehler (guy in the booth) implied it could.
+Nathan Toothaker I didn't realize that Randy had said that he might of scooped to infinite obliteration
we wont foil token
23:18 dem dreds :]
21:40 Yes
Christ Tim, eh um eh eh eh elugh. Get him out of the booth!
55:35
"Ultimate price as an answer to Dragonlord Atarka"
yeah, ok. Good luck with that.
+Bobert Joe he said "not the right answer". Maybe you should listen more carefully before talking lol
+Ivan Gomez 35:35 "Ultimate price staying in hand, giving him an answer to Dragonlord Atarka" It is corrected a couple minutes later, but Tim definitely says it is an answer.
Did Finkel miss that he could sacrifice Nissa to his Kalitas to survive the double Kozelik return in G1??
+AAP Scholarship It's vampire or zombie only :)
watching brad nelson play is annoying
+Dereck Saeyang-Lawrence why?
+Callum Flude (Thunderbug) it's a thing I saw a few people comment about in last round. Brad's always fidgeting with something, cards, glasses... meanwhile john finkel is making a couple faces but is otherwise stoic
I think wizards has a hard on for Brad Nelson, he's been in almost all the videos today.. and I hate him..
Not really
Fuck you Bard is king
first
Standard is so bad
+Aaron Wolter What exactly do you want out of Standard? There's a top 8 with 8 unique lists and plenty of other strategies that didn't quite get there, slow grindy decks, aggressive decks, burn, ramp, combo, midrange. Like literally what is it you don't see in standard that you wish were there?

+ladyrosie parks ikr standard is great atm
