These two commentators are notorious for this when they are together. They rarely talk about the game and have side conversation and don't act professional. It's a little annouying but the other duo do an amazing job at commentating
Seriously, commentators didn't speak of the game nearly at all. They just kept saying the first word on cards, didn't talk about strategy, or anything that felt important for anyone that was newer to the format. It's not a good way to get new people excited about the game.
Honestly this was not a good game for that. I’m a veteran player and could barely keep up cuz there were just so many interactions happening and thus actions being taken. Ettiene’s deck looped activated abilities on lands to loop other cards from his graveyard and keep his opponents’ boards under control. Brian was trying to gain value out of his creatures. Both could cheat on mana a good bit because of the Relic. But they were doing this multiple times a turn often simultaneously and in response to each other several times a minute. It was hectic.
As a relatively new magic viewer that's never watched a professional game (only card ratings and commander at home/card professor videos) I had legit no idea what was happening besides Brian had more hp
And they wouldn't shut the f up while the players are having a conversation that we would of liked to hear. Commentators are some of the worst part of any televised event.
Back in the day, it was just the players with quiet commentary. Miss Brian David Marshal and Seth Hill, the new generation of commentary is just fucking blabbing
New magic fan here. After youtube randomly presented me with the TCC episode featuring Cedric and Patrick and then by proxy commander at home this is in fact my first time seeing Brian Kibler play competitively.
@@Alpr1010Why wouldn’t you begin with learning how to play magic before watching a tournament that way you can comprehend what’s going on? No commentators for any professional league or sport are going to explain all the minutiae and single detail that is happening with every play. Did you just land on earth or something?
@@jasoninthehood9726 sure - what a moronic way to look at things - even simple comments about why things are triggering and what it effects would be a giant leap up from these halfwit commentators - just sit there and look stoopid
10:25 I believe Titiana triggers twice since discarding Takanuma is part of the cost for the ability and the mill happens as the ability resolves, so two separate times where lands enter the graveyard.
OMG... seeing Kibler at pro tour and not on MTGA tournament is wild.. i thought that i will never have an opportunity to see him play live tournaments again ... this makes me so happy! been his follower for idk ever since 2009 .. loved his WG decks
Regarding the judge call, it couldn’t have been described better… I took a warning at GP PDX because I accidentally had my notebook, that I was using to track my life total, open *physically over* the Blood Moon I had out and both of us had cracked fetchlands (opponent first) before it was noticed by the opponent. I got the warning for missed triggers and I leaned things lol.
Bro Award Winning Science educator Kyle Hill is in the pro tour!! I love how Brian just looks like he’s having a good time, no salt when he lost, immediately into talking and looks like he has a blast just being there.
@32:40 Kibler calls the judge on himself because he accidentally sees the top card of his deck while resolving the Jodah cascade. Then they have a protracted discussion because Hazoret was placing cards on the bottom, and they accidentally didn't preserve that part of the game state. But then right after getting his freshly shuffled deck from the judge, he uses Siggarda's ability to look at the top card. Was it actually a game rule violation to look at the top card while resolving cascade in the first place? Does Siggarda's "any time" only work when a player has priority, or when state based effects would be checked?
From notes and rules on Sigarda: "Sigarda lets you look at the top card of your library whenever you want (with one restriction-see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand. If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast the top card of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell."
@@caltran2410 Yeah this. I couldn't tell the rules as well, but I play Sigarda both in arena and Mtgo (where you dont "look at" but get constantly shown on screen) and the only moment in which I am not shown the top of the deck is while casting from the top of my deck.
@caltran2410 Although that is technically true, I think if BK had told the judge "but I can see the top card of my library because of X" while explaining the situation, then the judge wouldn't have attempted to shuffle, and may not have even issued a warning. Because nothing in the game cared about Brian having access to that information while resolving his trigger, esp if he was just going to have that same info once he had priority.
@@ben_clifford All very interesting! I appreciate the insights. There's both how the reveal/information works from a game engine perspective, then also how errors of this kind get resolved under the MTR. All good info.
@@ben_clifford while functionally correct, and possibly an avenue a judge would consider at like FNM, but at Comp REL, the problem is Brian cascaded one too many cards, less so that he would have known that card anyways once he finished resolving Jodahs ability.
Just curious why there wouldn't be a consistent rule across all levels of play? The commentators were talking about what the judge 'might' do, and I was sitting here thinking "Shouldn't there be a predetermined action for something this simple?".
@@MrNbkelly completely agree. The judge 100% gave a light ruling becuase of it being a PT feature match. You get a game loss for a deck check illegal deck and the game hasnt even started at that point; yet alone a full game going by and having an illegal card. Either this treatment needs adopted to be the normal handling; or they need to state it was a lenient ruling.
Was going to say, when I played competitive that was a straight game loss. I am unsure if this is because they have changed the rules or because they didn't want to game loss someone on camera.
I see a lot of people being annoyed at a lack of live commentary on cards and specific strategy, so I feel obligated to point out that live game commentary in professional/tournament matches of MtG the way you may be used to from other games or sports is basically impossible in any meaningful way. Pro play, especially with decks like these, is a bad place to learn strategy or even just what cards do. Pros tend to take their game actions fast because for one, they're pros, they know what the cards do, and on the other hand they like to go fast because that gives them more time to think and their opponents less. That contributes to a rather fast pace and makes live commentary hard in any meaningful way. Sure, they could talk about what cards are being played and maybe what the effect is, but that's it. If you want more detailed play-by-play commentary, you'll have to look for analysis videos, or non-tournament matches where people play more slowly. I feel like the commentators are doing a great job considering the pace of the match and the complexity of the decks. Yes, you need to have a decent understanding of the game to follow the commentary, but that's basically who the commentary is by and for. If you want to learn Magic, welcome, but you're better off watching something other than pro play.
Kibler was a man I mean, he was a dragon man Or, maybe he was just a dragon But he was still, Kibler! Kibler! Burninating the countryside Burninating the peasants Burninating all the peoples And their thatched-roof cottages Thatched-roof cottages! Whoa, this has wicked dueling guitar solos It's like squeedly versus meedley over here Go squeedly! Go squeedly! Squeedly wins! When all the land is in ruins And burnination has forsaken the countryside Only one guy will remain My money's on Kibler! Kibler!
So, in game 2, when Kibler accidentally revealed an additional card, why did it cause an issue? With Sigarda, he can look at the top card of his library, so it didn't give him information he wouldn't have.
Etienne is a real champ for that instant judge call. I was not able to keep track of Game 1 really with all the triggers - usually I really appreciate Riley Knight's commentary, but making sure viewers can follow the game should be the top priority. He's the most entertaining of the commentators for sure.
yeah, if I see Cedric I instantly go...where is Sullivan? and viceversa. 0 hate for the other guy, but I freaking love Patricks dry humor and semi-rants.
What's weird is that they consider these Legends decks to be weird. They're definitely not T1 decks but they're still pretty consistently played throughout Standard. I think I see the Slogurk variant more than the Jodah one these days and this matchup shows why: Jodah can get crazy but Slogurk can be very consistent.
I mean it’s hard to hate listening to Riley though. Dude’s so funny I could listen to him talk about just about anything, I still occasionally go back and watch random Arena Boys episodes with Toffel and Jamin because they were just so hilarious and Riley had great chemistry with them. I’d love to see them reunite for a Card Market video.
@@Nightwishmaster 0 hate on Riley. I just find Sullivans humor really funny, I really like the guy, and I've grown to see him and Cedric almost as a pack when they are commentating.Even when they appear in the Prof's shows they are together (the sticker sheet moment is mtg comedy gold xD). It seems weird to me having one without the other. Somehow even wrong xD. But hey I am an old cranky man and I like things the way they used to be, hahaha..
In game 3 of Kibler and Etienne's match the melira was supposed to be exiled. Luckily it didn't seem to make a difference here, but could have been an issue, if he had seen an ashnod, for it's ability.
at 56:30 I think Shuhei is not able to play both the aftermath analyst from hand and the Kellan from exile with 6 mana available due to the Aven Interrupter taxing casts from exile by paying 2 more?! How did nobody caught that xD
32:40 this would simply be Out of order sequencing because of the Sigarda since he can look @ the top of the library at any time. No reason for judge to shuffle or anything
I get commentary coan be hard in complicated matches like this but these matches are where the small things matter the most. At least early on so we know why Kibler is casting things for free (off of hazoret and djeru) and so on. What a great match, though!
A bit of cacophony during the judge call. As much as i love Cedric and Riley, I feel they should have let the judge call resolve before giving commentary.
There were some decks that didn’t run a single Rest in Peace at this PT though having the option to and I just wanted them to lose simply because I don’t think ignorance like that in this standard should be rewarded with a round advancement. That last game is why you should always have atleast one for this matchup. Call me cynical but that’s just how I felt lol. Edit: I miss Marshall commentating and even Randy or BDM were commentating because they very rarely didn’t talk about the board. I don’t mind people going on tangents but my boy you’re a commentator for the game, commentate the game lol. I know the cards and am seasoned with them so I know what’s happening just by watching but if people who don’t know magic join they’re going to hear rambling and people putting cards in places with no context.
😢it's too bad Brian didn't see the interaction with the reality chip and relic of legends. So as long as reality chip is equipped to a creature you can look at and play cards from the top of your library. So since your creatures are all legends you would be able to cast them by using the freshly played creature from the top of your library which would trigger Jodah and dig them further and if you run into a. Double of a legend while you have a ratadrabik in play and are casting from the top of your library it becomes profit but to make the chip work the best you want a copy or two of danitha so her etb will grab the chip wherever it is and attacj it immediately so you can start to churn thru your library .
I was playing this esper legends deck with this synergy and it felt like the previous standard deck with that artifact that let you cast artifacts off the top of your library .I can't think of it's name but you would end up with these huge turns that you were able to cast every card bc they were 1 and 2 mana spells. This deck isn't as good at casting everything always but with the abilities they all provide it becomes more of which the lesser evil for the opponent bc everything needs removal on sight with things like ratadrabik Thalia skrelv rona glissa kellan reality chip relic
Great game to watch! Nice commentating! Would love to hear more the players talk between games or the after match talk to get a more personal viewing experience!

The only way that cedric could sound better as a commentator is if he had more Patrick in the booth.

Huge props for calling the judge on themself. Honor is alive and well
Lovely match, lovely players, great commentary!
Quick question because I'm curious: why does Etienne have a basic mtg logo instead of the flag of their country? Like Brian and the others do
What's weird is that they consider these Legends decks to be weird. They're definitely not T1 decks but they're still pretty consistently played throughout Standard. I think I see the Slogurk variant more than the Jodah one these days and this matchup shows why: Jodah can get crazy but Slogurk can be very consistent.
I could barely understand what ia happeneing, commentators talk over the whole time.
I know the ability was resolving but nothing was going to the top and he could look at that card anyway with Sigarda so esh.
Too bad the commentators talk over the players the whole time...

They got too excited over kibler playing lol

Brian is a legend of the sport.
at 56:30 I think Shuhei is not able to play both the aftermath analyst from hand and the Kellan from exile with 6 mana available due to the Aven Interrupter taxing casts from exile by paying 2 more?! How did nobody caught that xD
im glad my home brew legends deck is actually being used and competitive, even if only an edgecase
If brian can look at the top card of his library. Why was it a big deal when he mis picked up cards and saw the next card?
God I love Djeru and Hazoret
What format is this?
Ok standard
Brian showed up to play Commander
they/ them ? so its 2 vs 1?
at 33:45ish did it even matter that he seen the top card because of sigarda ability?
these lists make me think of that 4 colour kethis deck that was in standard 4 years ago
32:40 this would simply be Out of order sequencing because of the Sigarda since he can look @ the top of the library at any time. No reason for judge to shuffle or anything
Etienne got some insane draws got dam
Brian Kibler? What year is it?
Brian Kibler is still good at magic in [current year]
Easily the best match of the weekend - not close.
im a commander player, and this seems like a lot of fun
Just a reminder that you exile Melira not put into grave. She is not quite a saffi for those who caught it :)
Kibbs on pro tour game I click! See how it goes outside commander! 🎉 lets flick some cards
Brian has influenced my life about as much as anyone
Happy for Brian, remember when i play against he in Hearthstone, then i go to his live and he gives me a subscribe
He really loves his deck.
damn couldnt have Kiblbler just won on the spot @10:00 if he sacrifice Hajar to buff is creatures?
Damn, I think so?
if takenuma hits any lands kibler doesnt have lethal, which the other player did hit, even though they missed the trigger.
Titania in play with any channel land means Etienne gains life and is out of range and I sac my Hagar for nothing.

wait kibler is playing competitively again? uh wow this might genuinely be what I needed to start caring about non-edh again 😅
I think Etienne deserved a game loss for forgetting to sideboard, he should have scooped right away.
Now this is content
😢it's too bad Brian didn't see the interaction with the reality chip and relic of legends. So as long as reality chip is equipped to a creature you can look at and play cards from the top of your library. So since your creatures are all legends you would be able to cast them by using the freshly played creature from the top of your library which would trigger Jodah and dig them further and if you run into a. Double of a legend while you have a ratadrabik in play and are casting from the top of your library it becomes profit but to make the chip work the best you want a copy or two of danitha so her etb will grab the chip wherever it is and attacj it immediately so you can start to churn thru your library .
I was playing this esper legends deck with this synergy and it felt like the previous standard deck with that artifact that let you cast artifacts off the top of your library .I can't think of it's name but you would end up with these huge turns that you were able to cast every card bc they were 1 and 2 mana spells. This deck isn't as good at casting everything always but with the abilities they all provide it becomes more of which the lesser evil for the opponent bc everything needs removal on sight with things like ratadrabik Thalia skrelv rona glissa kellan reality chip relic
Is Brian Kibler the Magnus Carlson of MTG? People glaze him like crazy.
Great game to watch! Nice commentating! Would love to hear more the players talk between games or the after match talk to get a more personal viewing experience!
Why did Etienne draw a card at 29:16?
Targeted by Ertai trigger. Easy to forget when the stack goes for a lot longer from looting and such
