'He can plow his own mother'... I died. Great match btw!

[@teenageidol99]

I am now a Herzog fan. the guy is like a stone the whole match!

[@minomelo]

You have to shuffle twice off of GSZ because casting an opponent's card is a thing.
If it said "search, then shuffle GSZ into your library' you would shuffle your opponent's GSZ into your library.
If it just said "search, then shuffle GSZ into its owner's library" you wouldn't shuffle your deck after searching through it and you would know its order.

[@Skuliard]

Minomelo Everytime one effect tells you to shuffle more then you time you can just shuffle one time instead.

[@minomelo]

The game see you technically shuffling twice (e.g. Cosi's Trickster will trigger twice), but that's not the point. I was simply explaining why GSZ technically makes you shuffle twice from a rules perspective.
It's something that's mentioned in this video, if I recall correctly.

[@colgatelampinen2501]

If it said "search, then shuffle GSZ into your library' GSZ would still go to GSZ's owner's library, because 400.3 says: "If an object would go to any library, graveyard, or hand other than its owner’s, it goes to its owner’s corresponding zone."

Really great match. Makes me want to play Maverick.

[@discoooooooo]

Woot well done with game 1 Thomas, never could have dreamed that myself.
That and P.C. hand fun with the commentary at the end.

[@johnvoeller2653]

Wow just what a great first match!

[@jtyree0226]

And people wonder why Deathrite is banned in modern

[@drathond]

The rough and tumble does not kill the mother with Pro red+blue due to Pro Red preventing the damage.

[@chewyeokpeng4772]

The tempo threshold Delver traditionally runs on low land counts to improve card quality and tempo, and most decklists dun run even basic lands, due to tight deck space :). So Wasteland every turn is super brutal :)

[@chewyeokpeng4772]

KOTR to tutor for Wasteland is brutal indeed !!!

[@joshuaclark42]

30:48 lol

[@timmyt10000]

Man it is so sweet that Tom Herzog invented Maverick not Michael Antrim

[@JohnSmith-fy8lp]

In the play sometime at 34:40, I would've just wastelands the tropical island immediately causing ben to Tap it in response for mana, moving into second main so you can get your sylvan library in.

[@maryamiotte9700]

+Johnny Khongsuk If Herzog had wasted first, Weinburg would have stifled it. Then when herzog would have cast sylvan weinberg would have just dazed it. As it actually played out Herzog baited a two for one with his sylvan, forcing Weinburg to use both counters on it.

[@gabriels3706]

This is an incredibly late reply, but he really wanted to waste that volcanic island to turn off the lavamancer for at least a few turns

[@johnyramble]

I don't understand why Ben blocked the mother with delver in g2. He knew it was going to die to the sword anyway, so why lose 3 life and let your opponent draw a card?

[@d3sbb]

prot red / blue with sword

[@johnyramble]

Tall and smart, my favorite combo.

[@KSE828]

All that microphone clicking is super annoying.

[@mitchellrowland1017]

and to this day no one noticed him miss his thalia effect at 14:29

[@verleede]

Thalia says noncreature, nimble mongoose is a creature

[@toastertrudel104]

nice pleb forest l0l

[@johnvoeller2653]

Wow just what a great first match!
