00:00.500 --> 00:03.250
We just wrapped up the November tournament.

1
00:04.000 --> 00:05.500
John brought the same Malcolm deck.

2
00:05.650 --> 00:07.500
It has 25 counterspells, most between 1-2 CMC.

3
00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
We've spent 6 months preparing anti-counter decks-

4
00:12.900 --> 00:15.500
and realized that aggro decks are our best chance.

5
00:17.500 --> 00:19.000
Someone can play mono-R,

6
00:19.000 --> 00:21.500
ping that 1-tougness fucker every turn.

7
00:24.750 --> 00:26.500
My Commander...

8
00:27.500 --> 00:28.500
Zurgo...

9
00:31.000 --> 00:33.500
Zurgo Bellstriker fell in the first round to Malcolm.

10
00:34.000 --> 00:36.000
Turn one Hard Evidence went hard AF.

11
00:53.000 --> 00:58.500
Everyone leaves, except Zurgo, Sheoldred, Mono-B and Cascade.

12
01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
That was an order!

13
01:15.250 --> 01:17.750
The 4th fucking time in a row!

14
01:18.750 --> 01:23.250
You know he trades 1-for-1, often at mana parity.

15
01:25.250 --> 01:28.000
*muffled*

16
01:29.250 --> 01:31.000
Forget about resolving a do-nothing 4-drop.

17
01:31.500 --> 01:34.000
Every fucking time with this guy.

18
01:34.750 --> 01:37.750
You know exactly what you're up against.

19
01:37.500 --> 01:40.500
Play uncounterable spells and 1/4 of his deck does nothing.

20
01:40.500 --> 01:42.750
My commander, he keeps redirecting my uncounterable spells back to me.

21
01:42.750 --> 01:46.250
He has ONE of those effects in the deck. Use your Thoughtseizes.

22
01:46.500 --> 01:48.790
My commander, he counters all hand destruction.

23
01:48.790 --> 01:52.000
Use your general, 1 CMC and two power.

24
01:53.000 --> 01:54.500
Overwhelm him in combat!

25
01:56.000 --> 01:57.750
His general is weak-ass.

26
01:57.750 --> 02:00.500
Relying on no one blocking in the air.

27
02:00.500 --> 02:03.500
A single creature gets in there and he folds over like an Atraxa.

28
02:04.500 --> 02:08.000
He can't keep looting away his extra Islands like this.

29
02:08.750 --> 02:13.500
You'll never win on card advantage so you can't lose in card quality as well.

30
02:14.000 --> 02:16.750
There has to be some fucking tempo on board.

31
02:17.500 --> 02:21.750
Run over that god damn crab token with 3 power!

32
02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
I was there, I'd have put up a real fight.

33
02:30.500 --> 02:34.000
A true mono é mono. With low CMC threats.

34
02:34.500 --> 02:36.500
If only one Aura resolves, it's over.

35
02:41.000 --> 02:42.500
Traitors...

36
02:43.000 --> 02:47.500
Of all these games, he'd have to flood out, and mulligan to 5.

37
02:48.500 --> 02:53.000
If Opal-Eyes gets countered one more time.

38
02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
I'll swap to a meta-fucking-combo-fucking...

39
02:56.500 --> 02:59.750
Netdeck like it's a Modern GP. International tournament level.

40
03:00.000 --> 03:02.500
Get card advantage via Eidolon of Bloom!

41
03:04.750 --> 03:07.500
It's okay, Niño's working on sample decks.

42
03:14.250 --> 03:16.250
Send him to Gothenburg.

43
03:19.250 --> 03:23.250
It's... Impossible he'll win against those no-lifers.

44
03:25.550 --> 03:26.750
The train ride will break his spirit.

45
03:31.500 --> 03:33.750
The Stockholm Duel Commander is lost.

46
03:40.750 --> 03:46.250
I'll see you at regular FNM at Alphaspel, where I don't have to lose all the time.

47
03:46.500 --> 03:49.000
If William was still playing...

48
03:53.750 --> 03:56.000
And Nadu wasn't banned...
