Yoshihiko Ikawa vs. Yuta Takahashi | Final |  

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!

It’s Seattle, they could have found a fluent person by in 5 mins outside

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!!

dang spoiler as first comment, yeesh

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

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

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.

Thought I was the only one who noticed. Baller.

Would be pretty cool to see what deck wins

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

There have been plenty of overly whiny comments about everything BUT the damn game being played 😂😂 Let's just be happy that there are a few of us who just enjoy the spell slinging!

Right!! Also they are both Japanese and Japanese culture been wearing masks long before covid!!

Because people are tired of that shit. Pretty simple.

@@duckispve5283 why? It has no impact on you lmao

@@williamw8590 no effect on my daily life at all. Just annoying to a lot of us is all I’m saying. As I’m sure I’m annoying to a lot of people as well. It’s okay that I think it’s fucking goofy to identify as a season the same as you may think it’s goofy I like to fish and play golf 🤷🏼‍♂️ lol

No, it only has vigilance.

Ahaha ! Yeah, try to be better than Yuta and explain him how wrong he his 😂

@@fabianbarre5461 ^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 😊

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

No, spree spells require one mode at least

Reading cards explains them btw. "One or more" etc

No
