A lot of small mistakes for Johan that could have swung this game in his favor. One I noticed g1 was him tapping the Wasteland rather than the Mox Opal on turn 2 cost him additional damage/time before Fiery Confluence came down. By keeping Wasteland up he could have tagged Gary's Ancient Tomb with Magus on the stack keeping Gary off of Fiery Confluence for a few more turns. He still managed to win g1 but it could have been a lot easier
As soon as he exiled Chandra to Chrome Mox I was like "wait... what?" That's a fair bit of action. 2 for 1 on each mox is fine while you have action but exiling your action for it is dubious.
Very weird how this guy just gave up the game. I’m all rooting for Goblins but there’s no reason to not block a token or the Rabblemaster. Very confused.
I thought robots was a vintage deck and affinity was modern/pure aggro? I can understand not liking Steel stompy but it is different enough from MUD to warrenty its own name.
MUD is brown-control. While some shops are still on the contol plan most have stray all the way down to ravager aggro. Anyways, point is steel stompy is basically affinity. robots is the name people use for affinity when it's not using the affinity mechanics as calling it affinity is misleading, or so they say. I argue if it smells like affinity, tastes like affinity and looks like affinity there's very few things it can actually be...
why would you call a deck with 0 cards with the affinity keyword on it affinity artifact aggro is not the same thing as affinity calling it affinity is misleading and makes no sense at all
@@rutasel6726 your 3 years late to this thread, and calling it affinity makes complete sense. We've done it for years now, your the only one confused by the name here.*
de gruyter gave away game 2 for free. pretty sure he didn't play standard 2 years ago otherwise he would have known he had 2 keep etched champion back to block it. instead he traded 3 damage for a bunch more. painful to watch
Cant see how the hell he loses he coul up steel overseer make vault 3/3 at least and he was or at least he should have won 3-4 life with inventors fair
Magus shuts off inventors fair. Vault could have been made into a 2/2 if he traded off a Factory instead of Skirge, but it wouldn't be able to race Hazoret and would have to chump. The second Skirge couldn't ever really attack under the bridge in any meaningful way so there's no more lifegain to be had. When P&K got cast at ~ 51:00 Gruyter had no outs to stop P&K shocking him as both spyglasses were in play and he wouldn't have brought in ratchet bombs as he was the beatdown. There may be a potential line had he blocked eariler or casted spellskite and overseer'd it to be able to block Hazoret but that didn't happen and I'm still not sure that would be able to beat P&K + bridge anyway with both spyglasses on Hazoret.
is the second announcer here one of the best players in the world? he seems to think that he has a better play than every single play the players make. pretty sure they are in this tournament instead of you for a reason
Just plain savage Well a commentator doesn’t really have the pressure of the feature match Not knowing an opponents hand or any of the tough decisions So he’s just a jerk trying to flex his knowledge of the game
@@badvoodoo2097 Simon Goertzen is his name and he’s a very good player who has won a pro tour and done well in many tournaments. Most importantly tho, he was right in all of his calls during this match, as there were many bad plays. It’s possible to both make a bad play and win anyway. Or are you going to tell me not blocking a rabblemaster token for no reason was a good play?
@@bumpasaurus487 also the attack after the other guy plays a second rabblemaster is horrendous. Jitte basically locks this game for you barring an ensnaring bridge, just eat tokens and kill him over 2 turns You get an attack for 5, then you can kill a rabblemaster with jitte, and next turn you get + 1 to 6 from steel overseer and + 5 from ravager with artifacts to spare for metalcraft…

Why not activate both factories in response to Steel Overseer at 48:12?
Magus in play
25:00

Steel stompy AKA brown town aggro AKA robots AKA affinity.... just call it affinity fro christ's sake
you forgot shopless shops

How did he play that 2nd magus for 3 mana.. thought creatures cost 1 more to cast
non creature spells cost 1 more to cast
Cant see how the hell he loses he coul up steel overseer make vault 3/3 at least and he was or at least he should have won 3-4 life with inventors fair

Now we see that i am blind, forgot the magus
