+Fatblue246 I've heard people call it blue... In all seriousness though, they're both often 2 mana 4/5 creatures. Start off small and get larger when the game moves to the later stages. There are a lot of similarities. You could argue Advocate is better though, as she also pumps up all your creature lands.
+Jon I guess he thought he was gonna snag the threats out of his opponent's hand and the wipe would be redundant? I'm no pro, but I disagree with taking out Languish.
At this point in the competition each player knew the other's decklists. Shota was likely considering that Megucci would have definitely brought in counterspells (negate, but mainly invasive surgery) and probably didnt want to risk wasting 4 mana to do nothing, as it gets countered by mengucci's one-mana counterspell then follows up with a collected company to flood the board afterwards.
I wish they'd take Randy Buehler off the coverage team. He just doesn't understand the game well enough anymore. So much of what he says is just wrong. He doesn't even recognize a lot of the cards. :-(
anyone here in 2024 to see mengu?
Another VEEDEO to watch Mengu
13:12 if you're wondering why the thumbnail is Melissa Detora
there is a minute clip interview with melissa detora in the video idk why it shows up as the thimbnail
thumbnail is melissa
thumbnail misleading
Ohhhh... I thought Melissa DeTora was playing in the Top 8...
Esper dragons was so dope.
23:52 shota yasooka taps his blue black land and his basic instead of tapping both basics is there a reason what if he had drawn a grasp of darkness
Melissa Detora thumbnail?
That Tireless Tracker is doing some work!
Did Andrea Mengucci only tap an island and a plains at the 7:33 mark to cast reflector Mage? Seems odd. What am I not seeing?
+IanTheReader Oh that makes alot of since. Thanks.
Why chandra deal five damage 1/4 of the hp amd jace dont mill 15 card 1/4 of the deck?
Wow, dat clickbait thumbnail
did Shota ever take the 3 points of damage from Painful Truths at 18 min?
at 20:00 it is corrected i think. At least Shota loses 3 life without any game action, right before the 4 power tireless tracker attacks.
still can't believe he top decked that scorn
that was awesome bye jace hi jace
such klickbait
what exactly is Bant Company?
White Green with a splash of blue , that uses the card Collected Company. The blue is used to play control cards
Julian Naiken and Jace, and reflector mage, and bounding Crassis....so like a third the creature base as well 😂👌🏻
lots of counter magic, why does no one put atleast 1 Geae's Revenge on their deck?
Sylvan Advocate: The green Tarmogoyf
+Drecon84 wha...what? You do know goyf is green right??? And the cards are like completely different in how they work.

+Drecon84 - Take this from a Jund player, Goyf is a 4/5 T3 more often than not.
I wonder why he decided to take out the 2 languish? It seemed so good against this match up when he had it
+Jon I guess he thought he was gonna snag the threats out of his opponent's hand and the wipe would be redundant? I'm no pro, but I disagree with taking out Languish.

shouta's guru basics ♥♥♥♥$$$$$
Damn, the way Mengucci shuffles and touches the edges of the cards in his hand really stresses me out.
They always pronouce Dragonlord Ojutai wrong. Its O-joo-ti. Not O-ja-ti.
+Cleversided - I'm quite sure it's actually you pronouncing it incorrectly in this case.
GRANDE MENGU
oooooh I think he boarded out the languishes because he expected invasive surgery to come in.
OMG slightly younger mengu
where girl at
+ObiJohn

+MrGarruk123 oh, ty
Coming from 2030 and Shoota Mengu rematch in the finals of Pioneer Horizons 2 Pro Tour!
If only wizards cared about the players
I wish they'd take Randy Buehler off the coverage team. He just doesn't understand the game well enough anymore. So much of what he says is just wrong. He doesn't even recognize a lot of the cards. :-(
He's one of the best ever and while this match may not be his best commentary he usually offers some good insight
Who really needs to be off the coverage team is rich Hagon. That guy is awful
+Daniel Rowe i agree with this. they need to trim the fat. hehehe
Now there isn’t even a coverage team
lol wizards ya dun goofed
game two why didn't yasooka lose life for painful?
+Jacob Marley good question, i was also wondering? probably forgot to write it down or somethgin, its pretty big considering he cast it for 3 i think
They caught up with it later on it looks like... just took them like... 5 minutes or so...
first... again
Ughhh I hate menguchi
hahaha thirsty nerds
+Leonardo Cruz How else can I tap my mono-black deck.
