Clay actually never cut the deck. All he did was shuffle and set it back down in front of Zan. He then put it back where he preferred to have his deck, while also doing a cut. Nothing malicious is happening there.
Fallen Hyuga Most likely just an accident born of habit. I've done it before. Of course, when I did it I gave it back to my opponent to have them manipulate it again but still. Probably didn't even realize he was doing it.
I mean it's also that infect has historically had bad matchups against the Jund style deck. Thoughtseize and removal is real hard to deal with from the infect side, especially in a post probe world. Edit: and edicts, lili is stronq

I'm always surprised at how resilient the infect deck is. He mulliganed to 6, got disrupted so many times and still nearly won
Why didn't zan cast vines precombat to give pro green? Clay didn't have any cards in hand?
In game one that is
Vines is hex proof, not protection
yeah i realized that like 2 minutes after i commented lol
You're thinking Apostle's Blessing there.
why did zan cut his deck at 1601, his opponent cut then he recut????
And the game wasn't stopped there and then

Jordan Wenzlaff he altered the deck order after his opponent cut "shuffling is cutting"

The more expensive deck won, as it should be. Ah, all is well with the world. :))
Honestly it should be the more skilled player who should win not necessarily the most expensive deck. I don't want magic to be pay to win.

Clay fiddles with the cards as if he has anxiety issues
Brian Sham I mean he looks pretty young - wouldn’t you be a lil anxious in his position? A few thousand people watching you play
