    In regards to Craig's fact or fiction piles, I think he made good ones. If the player casting Fact or Fiction is unhappy with the piles that's generally a good sign. Josh was being extra greedy imo, Elesh Norn hurt him the most and he was arguably still in first place in that position.

      Moments like this are precisely why I love FoF!

    about the FoF matter:
    JLK is on the lead at the moment, removal and attack decisions will be chosen according to hitting the leading player most often.
    So in that regard, JLK can expect to have things coming his way and have to deal with them.
    If he won't choose Crib Swap and suffer under Elesh Norn for a while, Rachel and he will be having beef a couple of turns, Craig and Jimmy can lay back a bit and draw their cards and spare resource for a come back.
    In JLK's position at that moment, I would've taken Crib Swap
    Stay in the lead as strong as you can.

    • @greywolf7577
      @greywolf7577 Před rokem

      The main reason why I don't watch Magic tournaments is because they usually don't zoom into the cards like this channel does, so I can't read what they do. If I actually wanted to follow, I'd have to hear the name of the card, pause the video to look it up, then remember what all of the cards are. It is so much easier following the game on this channel.

      That wouldn't have helped Jimmy though because then he'd be trading one threat with high poison he had a shot of taking out with proliferate, with another threat with an even larger value engine and very little poison. And Elesh Norn would've still been there turning off his board.

      @@gfkxj123 Yeah, I misremembered the turn this was referring to and agreed. 1 turn better than 0.

It would have saved Josh though. He also probably should have let Josh draw off Esper Sentinel, haha.

      Another thing was Craig phasing out before Rachael declared blockers.

      lol, to be fair, as far as Jimmy knew Josh was really going to just save himself and whereas Rachel had high poison with seemingly no way to stop herself from being proliferated upon, Josh as a threat would have just been insurmountable for Jimmy as behind as he was.

    • @InfinityKrompt

      Thats a really weird way to look at the threat assessment. Rachel goes unchecked -> the already incredibly ahead Josh gets reduced in power
      Josh stops Rachel from getting Elish Norn -> the already incredibly ahead Josh continues to accelerate in terms of board state.
      Jimmy tried to remove the one piece of the board state from Josh that would possibly prevent him from snowballing uncontrolled while already very behind due to multiple board wipe effects.
