Duel commander tournament goes wrong for the 4th time in a row.
| 00:00 - 00:03 | We just wrapped up the November tournament. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | John brought the same Malcolm deck. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | It has 25 counterspells, most between 1-2 CMC. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | We've spent 6 months preparing anti-counter decks- |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | and realized that aggro decks are our best chance. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Someone can play mono-R, |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | ping that 1-tougness fucker every turn. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | My Commander... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Zurgo... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Zurgo Bellstriker fell in the first round to Malcolm. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Turn one Hard Evidence went hard AF. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone leaves, except Zurgo, Sheoldred, Mono-B and Cascade. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | That was an order! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | The 4th fucking time in a row! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | You know he trades 1-for-1, often at mana parity. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | *muffled* |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Forget about resolving a do-nothing 4-drop. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Every fucking time with this guy. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | You know exactly what you're up against. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Play uncounterable spells and 1/4 of his deck does nothing. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | My commander, he keeps redirecting my uncounterable spells back to me. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | He has ONE of those effects in the deck. Use your Thoughtseizes. |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | My commander, he counters all hand destruction. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Use your general, 1 CMC and two power. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Overwhelm him in combat! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | His general is weak-ass. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Relying on no one blocking in the air. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | A single creature gets in there and he folds over like an Atraxa. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | He can't keep looting away his extra Islands like this. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | You'll never win on card advantage so you can't lose in card quality as well. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | There has to be some fucking tempo on board. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Run over that god damn crab token with 3 power! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I was there, I'd have put up a real fight. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | A true mono é mono. With low CMC threats. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | If only one Aura resolves, it's over. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Traitors... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Of all these games, he'd have to flood out, and mulligan to 5. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | If Opal-Eyes gets countered one more time. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | I'll swap to a meta-fucking-combo-fucking... |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Netdeck like it's a Modern GP. International tournament level. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Get card advantage via Eidolon of Bloom! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay, Niño's working on sample decks. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Send him to Gothenburg. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | It's... Impossible he'll win against those no-lifers. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | The train ride will break his spirit. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | The Stockholm Duel Commander is lost. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | I'll see you at regular FNM at Alphaspel, where I don't have to lose all the time. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | If William was still playing... |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | And Nadu wasn't banned... |
