This matchup is so much more fun to watch than it is to play!
Actually I m thinking the opposite
...
What kind of player you are ? The none creature man or the one that try to play things but veery slowly ?
Hahahaha, so true!
@@MrFruxion fix your grammar
@@kiyankurdi6135 wow you should have so much work to do on the net
To who ever Admins this channel. I really appreciate the effort to get all the Vods up for this event quicker again this event. Kudos to you and I hope this keeps up!
Wow! Standard looks like so much fun actually, I never knew! And very strong cards as well. What an awesome game to watch, both are incredible players.
it looks like fun but playing against azorious control isnt fun at all xD
Standard is incredible right now. Outside of convoke, every matchup is decision driven and rewards tight, smart play.
@@brian742 unless you run into slickshot in BO1 lol
@@recusantvessel Is bO1 standard tho
@@whitepanda34 well, yes BO1 and BO3 depending lol
I play UW control since a longggggggg time. Never saw an opponent as patient as Ikawa... Congrats to him for the win
dang spoiler as first comment, yeesh
Petion for wizards to hire translators for pro tour (for interviews and gameplay {I hope they have some for judges})
It’s Seattle, they could have found a fluent person by in 5 mins outside
FR FR
Small indie company
They Def always have translators for the players. But yeah it'd be nice to get translation for the broadcast. Love that we had so many Japanese in the top 8!!
Carvern of souls won 3 games. What a play
Yeah, as if control needed cavern to be edited... ffs
There's a reason why it is still 30 to 40 dollars even after reprint
Yeah that’s like the only reason that their deck has a chance against control lol
Man standard is so dope right now. Lots of cool decks at the top level, and then tons of other cool brews out there to mess with. Really hope paper standard can come back strong
I haven't watched any PTs since return to ravnica my cousin and I were in my grandmother's living room watching while play with our standard decks at the time.
What an awesome PT and top 8, standard is healthy and as annoying as the ramp decks are atm, they're very strong and it isn't a combo winter situation, it could be worse. Love to see some nihon representation! 🇯🇵🇯🇵
What a finish, great game. Great Decks, great Players!
Good to see Azorious control in a final.Yuta really dont want to face Ramp and he did 😂 I was expecting these two to be in the final 😁
UW control is favored against domain ramp
but not Yuta’s build. Not enough board wipe, no Jace
@@benyseus6325 Has plenty enough board wipes but true doesnt have a single jace in the 75 which is absolutely weird. Jace on its own just straight up wins this matchup
@@jii-ro7083 no he doesn’t only 3 sunfalls, and no mass removal on 4, no depop. The guy that was spectating the match was also completely wrong: “Yuta’s build has less boardwipes but more counter magic which is favourable versus domain ramp”. This statement is completely erroneous. You saw how worthless his phantom interferences and no more lies were getting as the RAMP player played more lands? You saw how useless wandering emperor also got as Yuta just stalled the board. This is where wrath and aoe effects are the most useful in this matchup. And discarding temp lock down to hand size by Yuta was ridiculous as that card deals with herd migragation. Neither his main deck nor his sideboard are equipped to deal with domain ramp (only a few tidebinders from the sideboard which are ez to play around) because they cut a bunch of cards to make room for 3 steps ahead. And also no Jace
@@benyseus6325 im not arguing how his counterspells are useless.
Great tournament run by Ikawa! Props to Yuta for another strong showing.
Why Jason Ye and Rei Zhang have a planeswalker flag instead of a country flag?
This was a really sweet game, super high level magic.
I knew 90% of the cards in this match so it was easy to follow along 😊
Truly a wonderful match!
Why is it so hard to find this video on CZcams yall need to tag the videos better
Magic players love to argue for no reason in these comments SMH
why isn't this 4k? would like to zoom in on the cards
Yoshihiko Ikawa seems like such a great dude
just noticed that yuta takahashi plays guru basic lands.... dang, i am envious.
Thought I was the only one who noticed. Baller.
Game 3: Can someone explain to me why Yuta *main-phased* Memory Deluge flashback instead of waiting? He had a clue & counter & field of ruin to use on a Cavern instead.
It would be great if we could get more precise info on how the players sideboard. Also, highlighted cards shouldn't obstruct the list of hand cards, which are displayed on the left. Rather, they should be shown on the right side.
Ice age Adarkar Wastes ❤❤❤❤
Congratulations Ikawa
The real reward. Designing your own magic card. Immortality…. in cardboard form. Something humans have been chasing forever.
Can we have a tournament with world championship winning decks?
Would be pretty cool to see what deck wins
Cavern of souls is the showstopper of this tourne as I already knew it would be
1 hour and a half of land go ❤❤❤
He only needed two Jace in the deck
Yoshi CRUSHED
Commentatora here is much better and speak slower than the one in round 6, they were talking over the game.
Japanese guys destroyed in this Pro Tour, incredible
Cavern of Souls!
Thank goodness they stopped trying to force Arena into this. (and this is coming from someone that plays Arena every day.)
Domain Ramp it rules!!!
1:13:00 cant yuta cast three steps ahead for 1 as a trigger for hullbreaker?
Any of the Spree spells require you pay one of the additional costs to even cast the spell, so unfortunately, no.
@@aeolus7762 well I imagined rip
i love Cedrick lol
Just wanna remind ya guys two level 3 judges are breathing down these guys necks. It’s just funny
no seriously why is this standard lasting so long
It wouldn’t be a strip mine it would be a wasteland
No jace is criminal though
I’m shocked yuta only had two matches go to draw!
I appreciate all the hard work but I will say the commentary is not where I think it should be. Maybe there isn't a big market for Magic commentary, because it sounds like the two people are having a good time, but they certainly don't sound like they commentate as a profession.
Game 3: Takahashi leaves an Up the Beanstalk in play for several turns while having an answer for it... Final result Takahashi loses the finals by 3-1... As a control player you shouldn't leave your opponent with an almost infinite card draw engine for several turns as he did... He eventually got overwhelmed by all the value generated by that card
32:10 How can he chump block a 4/4 Trample with a 1/1? The dino has trample!
No, it only has vigilance.
Reading the card something something
This is why UW control runs Jaces, unfortunate that they were cut from this deck. Should have at least 1 copy.
Ahaha ! Yeah, try to be better than Yuta and explain him how wrong he his 😂
@@FabianBrr ^typical meaningless bronze rank comment that doesn’t understand UW control at all. Please don’t pipe up if you have nothing to add
he made a hedge for Esper in the decklist and it got him to the finals. I'm sure he realized this list was weaker to domain but didn't expect to face it very often
Domain was a lot less popular than esper, cutting jace was a reasonable hedge but it cost him the match here.
@@benyseus6325 Bronze for sure yeah. Try to qualify for any major event in your life 😊
I despise control. How can someone play that? It’s only react react react and not doing anything. And the easiest counterplay is not to play the game yourself
It's the pro tour, the people here are doing what they're doing for money or ego not because they enjoy what they're playing
@Marionettetc you would come to be surprised that people actually like to play the game reactively rather than proactively. It's just as efficient to deny your opponent to play by dictating their moves as it is to overwhelm them quickly with aggro or combo off.
People who say he isn't playing should play a few rounds of UW and see if they can make the correct reads. It's very similar philosophy to poker, read the board, read their hands, understand tempo. Especially when decklists are known and you're counting cards waiting for the threat points and choke points in the play. If you don't know BOTH decks, you can't control anything, you're just making blind reads based on only the common knowledge on board, which is only 1/3 of the assessment.
@@reaperreaper3071people fail to realize how difficult control is, they always seem to believe control is simply counters and board wipes ezmode. lol control is a mental workout most matchups
At 1:13:00, Yuta could have cast three steps ahead without any modes for just U, so there actually was a possible response.
No, spree spells require one mode at least
Reading cards explains them btw. "One or more" etc
No
