For those who watched the cut to Duke vs Pardee between games 1 and 2, at 27:35 Duke taps Yavimaya Coast for U, taking 1 and going to 10, but the coverage team misses it and still has him at 11. Thus when Pardee swings with Ashaya, Nissa, Pilgrims Eye and Obligator for 10 it is lethal, Reid didn't just scoop.
Oh, nice catch. I was confused too because Reid doesn't generally concede prematurely and in that instance being at one life would still give him a very real chance of still winning the game.
I wouldn't call Steve Rubin's deck innovative, so much as, exactly how wizards R&D intended and designed cards all from the same block to work together. But it is pretty awesome.
At 36:39, why wasn't Takimura's Hissing Quagmire destroyed and sent to the graveyard? The Den Protector was 3/2, so wouldn't it deal fatal damage to the 2/2 Hissing Quagmire?
i may be incorrect but in game one where distended mindbender atackked isnt it a 5/5? being blocked by a then land that was a 6/7? shouldnt the land have survived?
The land was originally a 6/6 and the Sylvan Advocate pumps it up to a 8/8. It was a 6/7 due to the Liliana plus, but if it takes at least 5 damage and the advocate leaves play (it died) then the land dies because it's toughness is reduced to zero. The plus from the advocate only remains while it is in play and it essentially deals two points of damage to the creature when it leaves play because it will reduce the land creatures total power and toughness. Sorry for the long explanation just wanted to make sure it was thorough.
If Takimura had a Sylvan Advocate in his hand he could have played it then activated the Quagmire to attack, which would have been lethal. Rubin needed to have a blocker.
To avoid having your hand read by your opponent. Let's say the first card you draw is one that you really need, a big minion perhaps. Well, a pro will notice that card staying in your hand most of the game, and he would prepare a counter for it.
Damn. That 3rd game was insane!
That was a beautiful game 1 from Steve!
"it was an emrakul. doesn't look like it would fit inside that vessel, but..." lol. love her.
Steve seems like a good guy, too.

Playing a U/G deck on Duels lately and enjoying it.
Why didn't he windfall with the Chandra?

Kevin Canini The Den Protector got -2/-1 from the Liliana, because she got +.
Does anybody know the name of the pad Rubin is writing on???
It's probably a boogie board, that's what I've seen used most of the time.

because the sylvan advocate died it lost the +2 and died after damage resolved

Toughness is actually reduced to 5, with 5 damage on it
I wish I knew how to play. What's the best way to learn?
Zeus Kiniro download magic the gathering app on iOS
You download arena
why didnt he counter the pick the brain?
If he counters pick the brain he doesnt have enough mana to activate lumbering falls which meant Takimura could activate hissing quagmire and attack
If Takimura had a Sylvan Advocate in his hand he could have played it then activated the Quagmire to attack, which would have been lethal. Rubin needed to have a blocker.
Holy shit, Ulamog. God what a game.

Why do they shuffle their hand all the time?
To avoid having your hand read by your opponent. Let's say the first card you draw is one that you really need, a big minion perhaps. Well, a pro will notice that card staying in your hand most of the game, and he would prepare a counter for it.
It's important to deceive the opponent which cards you had in hand and which one you have drawn for your turn.
