Reid Duke Plays Jund in a 7-Round Modern Challenge 

I said the same thing... then I saw this comment

do you mean 1h 25 minutes?

Isabelle The Arctic Wolf I

@@dudaseifert yes !

Ricardo López yes the play was to k commanded the ape, tick down liliana and blow up the overgrown tomb, still probably wouldve lose but it was frustrating seeing him in the tank and not seeing it.

Yes.

Scrolled down just to see if anyone else spotted that. No idea what the rest of that turn should have been but fulminator on his own swamp seemed like a good start.

Hmm, it looks like a better line @ 2:47:40 would be to play Dark Confidant, play the verdant catacombs instead of the raging ravine. This would leave up Kolaghan's Command mana. When his opponent attacks, Reid can sac the Fulminator to kill his Overgrown Tomb, block a Street Wraith with Blood Braid Elf. At the end of turn, Kolaghan's Command the damaged Street Wraith, getting back Blood Braid Elf. This line at least gets another Cascade trigger to find a Maelstrom or a removal for the other creatures. However, if Reids opponent finds another cascade card, Reid would be in the same position he's in now.

Yep, I saw the same line... but he lost the concentration after the small mistake with the Fulminator. Anyway thanks for the great content Reid.

opponent made a lot of mistakes. For instance match 1 game 1 pathing the scooze gave Reid a turn 3 bloodbraid and gave him back the black mana that was cut off with spreading seas.

I never said I was good at this game.

Props for your humility. I certainly wouldn't worry about losing to Reid Duke though.

The bad control deck did bad things and lose to a deck that is much better with an experienced pilot.

Honestly, I was just honored to play against (IMO) one of the best players in the game. I probably could have played game 1 better and perhaps forced game 3, but oh well.

It was even 8 Rounds, 6-0, quarterfinals and semifinals!

Jund masterclass...

I agree, i was about to comment the same thing. not that it would have accomplished much, but at least he would have left himself with the out of drawing a big creature to keep the situation at stalemate for the time being. then edicts, then removals, who knows.

they had me at "Reid"

This is exactly the play I think would've given you the best outs, but it is INSANELY difficult to spot when you are not only playing a high stakes game but also commentating. That said, you found the line!

I was thinking the same but is so hard to see when you are in it. Thanks again for view of the best deck in Magic Reid!

Lucarioguild7 maybe he did because Reid slaughtered them all

I win two UW in this Modern Challenge!

Cool :)

Lucarioguild7 I wonder how the deck fares against other common archetypes. People don't seem to run much gy hate these days so post-board games should be decent.

Alkoholwioslaidziwki Well living end dodges most common gy hate, I was thinking more along the lines of a living end getting countered or remanded is such a feel bad. Counter spells make living end a fair creature deck which gets hosed real bad

Reilly Miller I would guess that standard just doesn't really have an audience, as few people are interested in it. That's why I think they stopped making standard videos.

doesn't matter, in response to lili +1 trigger you cryptic and he loses lili is the stuff you wanna avoid

same here lol
