Yeah that entire match just felt like Kevin didn't know what he was trying to do with the deck. Maybe he was just drained from playing games like that all weekend but it just really didn't seem like he was playing at his best at all. Brilliant plays from Benjamin Nikolich though, he certainly put in some impressive work to earn that win.
Just curious, towards the end of the game, why KJ didn't Snap + Path the Collonade? Or Snap + Sphinx's Rev? Either seemed like better lines of play than Snap + Cryptic.
yah snap cryptic over azcanta at the end might have seemed good at the time, it would have given him extra looks at the top of his deck, but I agree, I think even snap helix the v clique and swing would have been a good play
I think its great that we can get jeskai control mirrors. I watch these for fun and it is a spectacle. Even if one of the players doesn't have any experience in the match up

I come watch this specific game regularly. It's just a great game!
My fav type of mirror match. So damn interesting.
Audio is messed up at the end of March two around the last 5 min. It is choppy for about 30 seconds.

great game but kevin got PLAYED all games
Kevin got WORKED!
askloglog he dosent need to be playing control he’s too impatient
crazy game
3:07 Man, kicking the Invocations while they're down. Not that those frames don't deserve it.
Yeeeeeesh
I feel like a big reason Kevin lost game 1 is because he let secure resolve
Alex Judge and lost game two because he didn’t know how to play anymore
Not sure why he fought over a do nothing cryptic command like that
Really good games to watch, but damn Kevin made some odd lines.
Good lord this was a schooling. PS: Don't use damn checklist cards....
TJMiton classic case of somebody copying a deck and not knowing how to play it
@@peewee130946 actually kevin played very well against caleb in the semifinals.
Spoilers:
Kevin lost the second game solely because he chose to act at sorcery speed numerous times when he could have afforded to hold
Will Paul it’s called impatience
flip cards look bad for "professional players"
Why?
