I’m watching this to reminisce what modern used to be. I miss it.
same. I miss theros/khans standard too
SAME. hate what wizards has done to the format. They turned modern into Legacy Lite and Pioneer into the new modern.
Expensive?
Same here
One of the best competitive finals ever, and how a healthy format should be. Oh, I miss those days
@@OjesYobe I agree. I'm really enjoying legacy. It feels a lot like modern in these days.
So i just got into magic recently.... and i wanted to watch some game play. clicked on this video and OMFG i graduated from high school with jacob. 0.0 what are the odds??
The glory days. I miss watching magic like this. When commander was not the main format
Game 1 - 0:01:09
Game 2 - 0:20:50
Game 3 - 0:37:00
Game 4 - 0:55:19
Game 5 - 1:35:00
Your the man!
Thank you ♡♡♡♡♡
Back when "Blue White Red" Control was Blue White Red Control and not Jeskai Control, and Pod was legal.
+Johannes Hartmann And Twin wasn't in the finals
This is my most favorite match ever, i watch it all the time lol
Rich is savage, "If you were better at magic you would be here to"
ya he savaged lsv a bit too lol
I am biased toward Melira Pod because its so insanely fun to watch but Mclaren played a good control game the whole tournament and I'll give him his credit. I'm just so happy this isn't a bunch of jund and I get to see Pod and Splinter Twin in the pro tour!
Dont think thatll happen.. lol
It's kind of hilarious to see all the comments from people that just skipped all the rest of the coverage to watch the finals. I'm on the edge of my seat and half of everyone else is like "lol combos are dumb this is boring."
I wholeheartedly agree.
combos are dumb and boring
man this used to be the best format ever
This was a great tournament to watch live
what a great pro tour! so much variety in the decks. i wish it was modern all the time
RESPECT! I'm not super well versed in this game, but there is something cool about seeing people who are the best at what they do to this level. Excellent coverage! Reminds me of a more interesting poker tournament on tv. $40,000 prize! Congrats to the winners!
Ditto
Expect I'm super into this game
This sounds wrong, but I miss Birthing Pod.
Same
I never got to play with it, but I miss it too
We all miss alot of metas...
They need to zoom in like poker. I play a lot of magic but don't know all of the cards. Plus I'm picture familiar not name familiar. They probably would x10 the amount of viewers
i want to watch the match, not pause it to try and google each card mentioned
I LOVE THESE COMMENTATORS!
Is there a reason that Jacob does not put elemental tokens into play due to Snapcaster Mage and Lightning Helix being played on his turn? Starting at 1:53:20.
They were both cast while voice of resurgence was still on the stack.
@ashton tipton he cast the snapcaster and helix in response, while voice was still on the stack, not on the battlefield
Why didnt wilson use wall of roots and tap the forest to activate pod sacrificing wall to get kitchen finks to go to 5 then take the 4 and go to 1 in game 4?!?!?!?!?
because lightning bolt
It's nice having LSV doing commentary although sucks for him:P Otherwise I usually find the Pro Tour commentary lacking compared to the SCG-Open commentary, which also involves Legacy and is I guess a bit more advanced. But Cedric Philips and Patrick Sullivan makes an excellent team imo.
*edit*
That last game was just sad, Jacob drew almost all lands and birds. Shaun didn't draw that well either but his answers matched up good, but yeah, I can agree that this game was kinda slow. If you want a good intense final watch Shuhei Nakamura vs Yuuya Watanabe player's championship 2012.
1:20:00 We need to get pre-Tour Event draft team analysis on.
I HAVE NO CLUE WTF IS GOING ON HERE
FUCKING SAME.
Oh LORD! The last two plays were NERVE RACKING! :O
Threads of Disloyalty winning that last game made me so happy.

+Izandai Always Threads
2:01:07 interesting that wilson removed harmonic sliver when he could possibly draw eternal witness to get it back as another way to answer threads.
also exarch
Love modern! Don't get me wrong but where is standard?
I don't think "penultimate" means what you think it means.
No storm crow?
I just play mtg i don't know what any of this is.
Might want to change the video description. Penultimate means second-to-last, not last.
modern is the best format ever
fact
F
Was
@@AB-sw4kb F indeed
Rip
26:30 how did he cast chord of calling when bird and Noble Hierarch both have summoning sickness ??
Because Chord has Convoke
Read Cord of Calling.
Oh I see, I thought it could add only 1 colorless
might want to look up the definition of penultimate...
the patiences man. what player
Rich Hagon seemed like he wasn't amused the entire Pro Tour.
wait im confused. Cards like Redcap can do dmg to Planeswalkers?
whenever you deal damage to a player from a certain source you can direct that damage to a planeswalker, so you could even lightning bolt a planeswalker
Was the last card cast of game two a Thoughtseize? I'm wondering why McLaren insta-conceded unless it was that.
It was.
8 years on you finally have your answer lol
sickkkkk match
wouldn't the second tectonic edge not activate since you only have 3 lands?
Andrew James he responded to the first activation, thus the 2nd activation on top of the stack still saw the 4 lands
Ryan S thanks for clearing that up
Are those play mats for sale I really want one!
its a must have haha
gah, I wanted Jacob to win so bad! I just didn't want a control deck to win the tour.
2:45 Jacob Wilson just put down a overgrown tomb untapped and didn't lose the 2 life. Did something go wrong here?
If you wait a bit, you will see that he indeed loses the life from the Overgrown Tomb and from Birthing Pod, puting him to 16!
That game 4!!! :0
At 44:54 all I could think was "does Shaun's deck run supreme verdict?"
he has the option of Anger of the Gods but he never drew it, which is as close to supreme verdict as he could get.
1:26:01 Rich checking out BDM while biting his lip is something I'll never forget
Why does he play Anger of the Gods over Supreme Verdict/Hallowed Burial?
Hallowed Burial is too expensive (and ineffective against pod) and Supreme Verdict doesn't exile.
at 1:22:04 could Jacob have used the wall of roots to generate a green mana, then birthing pod his wall of roots to get a finks?
Well I might be 2 years late but you can only pod at sorcery speed
@@Kristjan0209 ah ,someone else who watches decade old PT matches
@@yaboi5954 these remind me of some good old memories of my own pro tournaments
@@Kristjan0209 at the time of these matches, i was too young to be on the pro scene, but I had dreams of playing in a feature match area against the best in the world. Now those dreams are dead and the modern format I fell in love in, in large part actually due to this video, is now dead
@@yaboi5954 modern isn't dead well at least where I live its the most popular format and a lot of people play it. Online as well there are a lot of modern players
LOL, I love when they start talking about issues with prolonged chair-sitting. All I could think about was "first-world problems." Anyway I'm gonna decklist that UWR deck.
Personally I love Rich's commentary. His condescending tone can be quite humorous at times.
Good job on commentating guys, but one day I hope to see/hear: Marshall Sutcliffe, LSV, and Cedric Phillips.
Yes that sounds awesome!
i miss pod :(
1:42:47 "get your game on"
Where is the ProTour Born of the Gods Standard :(
Does shauns deck run supreme verdict?
Yup
I get a "bdm and rich dont get along" vibe from the booth coverage.
How did he play the Chord of Calling in game 2.... he only had 2 green mana sources, the BOP was summoning sick...
Read the card, that's (partly) what makes Chord such a strong card.
I never realized that before. Crazy
Shaun played well, but sure didn't have a stellar attitude from the coverage I saw. Sure wanted Jacob to win...
I miss Birthing Pod so much :(
Summary:
This game is too tense for me to bear
what's the format of this competition?
***** Thanks dude, I was looking for that here in the commments and I had no idea it usualy said it on the screen.
Thanks again
This is Born of the Gods?
Was there a s standard event?
Nope, PT BotG was BotG/Theros/Theros Draft and Modern.
Keep making all the great jokes!
Jacob whyyyyyyy!!!!
I'm just curious, who are the commentators and their backgrounds?
At around 29:30 you can see the commentators along with their names. They are Luis Scott-Vargas, Brian David-Marshall and Rich Hagon. As far as I know the latter two are WOTC employees. BDM came to wizards from being involved with comics and then being one of the first magic tournament organizers I think. Dunno much about Rich Hagon. LSV is basically a pro Magic Player that used to be Editor at Channel Fireball.
oh thanks. I was just so impressed by their commenting. Totally blew me away
shauku77
LSV is the only good commentator they have
birthing pod was really cool but it had to go. wotc wouldve had to restrict themselves from printing good creatures in fear to break pod
It still worries me that a Canadian is using a USA control
Lol, ravaging ooze.
Good match. Was pretty close.
Mclaren don't draw with electrolize in game 4?
If your talking about when Wilson had a Seer and a Birds, it gets countered by game rules for having no legal targets when it goes to resolve, which counters the spell so no card is drawn.
18:40 seems like mclaren wins if he paths the reveillark eot, then kills the birds with nodes on his upkeep.
nodes goes as soon as there are no creatures in play
That will be me one day
go canada!
Threads of Disloyalty destroyed all 3 of his opponents!
Bdm need to learn how to tie a tie
The sidebar on youtube brought me here.
i see people commenting, "i play mtg but i don't know whats going on...." casual mtg does not TEACH you the complex game of magic. its not just a nerdy tcg, its a complex sport for sharp minds.
You are good Jacob wilson
......kinda feel like the Pod played wiffed so many draws and mullied...kinda luck
rich sounds very condescending throughout this match
Alec Horvath I disagree, as I mentioned in my comment I think he does sound condescending, however it's like any good pair--You need the serious one to point out the obvious things and strategize, and the comedy backup for analysis/making the match interesting. Rich needs to cool it but BDM is just a less funny LSV. BDM needs to comentate without laughing at every LSV joke and tryiing to make his own puns.
It's Rich, if he didn't sound condescending, I would think they brainwashed him.
Canadians are on a roll. Kicking are ass in hockey and magic.
ahh back when blue white red want called jeskai yet
Shaun mclaren : sorry
McLarifying.
So funny, yet a little sad. Rich probably feels like he's being replaced with LSV, and hates on every pun. It's ok Rich!! Just be cool man stop hating on the puns get along with BDM and LSV everything will be o.k. It makes for better entertainment too if you just get along--Your commentary is still great and belongs in the finals with BDM and LSV.
wish they did edh pro tours that would be cool
That would be cool, but it would probably take too long for the rounds
I have a friend named Jacob wilson
is this standard or modern. Birthing pid, Fetch Lands, Snapcaster Mage, what?
"Hyper Combo Finish" ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! LSV for the win!!!!!
The Canadians are finally taking over. :' -(
Jacob got slapped game one
At the end of turn 4, he could have stayed in the game by not getting anything from the reveillark, so McLauren would be forced to kill his own Colonnade
Travis B True, but then he has just pod on the field and only one mana to play anything. It's better to chump the colonnade and be left with two mana on the next turn, or at least a single creature, a pod and the mana to use it.
Travis B thats wrong. the nodes already destroyed the reveillark. he activated collonade to have nodes in play next turn. But the Collonade would have lived either way
jassepar Actually, what he could have done was activate the Pod, sacking Reveillark in response to the Collonade activation and then fail to find, meaning Shaun has to destroy his own Collonade and Porphyry Nodes goes away. But then he's left with no board except Pod and a land and no real way of casting anything.
TheCR155 you realize pod is sorcery speed, right?
tectonic edge
Canada OP
Go canada !!!!
Needs more scam cards and The One Ring
LOL, PTE into Ultimate xD
The fact that Jacob Wilson was in the finals and not Sam Pardee is proof that luck matters in this game.
Vote for the canadians
I do not understand why he didn't choose the snapcaster in game 5.. I mean snapcaster will always do its value.. :/
