Great to see the actual pro tour testing content. Keep it up Jim.

[@ManaMoot]

Loving the content Jim!

[@FernandoMartinez-vg8lg]

The take of "good against bad players, bad against good players" seems to be right on the money

[@JimDavisMTG]

great way to put it

[@franksantana6859]

that's a ridiculous take, magic is not a complicated or competitive game. It's very simple to prove through experiment and statistics. What you do is take the same decks with the same draws and play out a match. Then you play the exact same match with the exact same decks with the exact same draws but change the pilot. what you'll find is that changing the pilot has very little statistical significance on the outcome of the match, unless one pilot is a "new" player

You know that proves otherwise, right? 🤣🤣

[@Erik-ms3du]

​@@franksantana6859you are wrong at the margine and that is what's important.

[@franksantana6859]

@@Erik-ms3du I'm not sure wat ur saying, the standard deviation is going to be low between pilot decisions, in magic the pilot is very limited on what they can actually do. This is especially true during the early turns of the game where mana is limited and you may only have one or two possible plays based on that mana and the cards in your hand. As the game goes long this obviously changes but there are usually never more than a handful of possible options on how to play each turn. "Strong" magic players will take the most "sensible" line but on average most "competitive" players will chose a similar line if not the exact same line. Compare this to something like Chess where after the 4th move of the game there are 288 billion possible positions. This creates a much stronger "competitive" game because the right "line" is much more complex to determine, therefore standard deviations between players are much more varied and the decision of the pilot will have greater statistical significance on the outcome of the game. Look magic is a fantastic and fun game, but the reality is the difference between say a Reid Duke and someone who plays often at an LGS is very small compared to say Magnus Carsen and an average club chess player. You simply cannot show extreme superiority of the game because of the design limitations.

"You want the ring? It's over here bud." 🤣🤣🤣

[@theyuuzhantar]

Why not Takenuma at the end of the Winota match for Sheoldred?

[@donezze]

❤

[@alaskan6907]

Sparkles.

[@yoshiman9521]

hoestly it didnt seem that bad after double solitude game 1. we had 28 life and were about to see 9 new cards next turn and a ring to reset and give us another turn

[@daniellugosi]

Yeah, that scoop surprised me too, especially since Jim usually hangs on till the end.

[@flapjackwars]

also he could have evoked subtlety to have a 3/2 in play to kill teferi next turn since elesh norn prevents its sacrifice trigger

[@18jonathan91]

I think the teferi stopped him from evoking. I thought the same thing at first. He can't respond at instant speed.

[@danw.1250]

Something tells me this deck needs 2 Drown in the Loch as it can both counter spells late game spells and kill early game creatures.

[@robb2433]

comment for reach

[@glorifiedpotato4412]

went 8-2

[@Erik-ms3du]

This deck seems clunky as fuck....

[@brandonguffey5959]

I guess you must not expect your opponents to watch your channel cuz if I was watching one of your videos and you just called my deck that whooped your butt "mopey looking" i'd unsubscribe so fast.

[@lenlee14]

Agreed. It’s in bad taste, and it reeks of superiority complex. I guess THIS deck is what “healthy” magic looks like to the highest level of competition. 😂

[@jdorffer]

For a better looking experience, play on Tabletop Simulator

[@matthewcowles6031]

That's probably the worst option
