That first game was incredible, there are only a handful of players that could have won that with such a tight margin. (keeping this sort of vague to avoid spoilers).
@16:47 - I find it interesting that Patrick Dickmann plays the Deceiver Exarch in Christian's main phase. This allows him to play an additional Cranial Plating, pumping the other Plating's damage. There is a Beginning of Combat step in the Combat phase where players can play instants and creatures with flash to potentially tap down attackers. I'm really surprised that at such a high level these kinds of blunders are made.
can someone explain me how Christian Seibold just dealt 11 to Patrick at 7.30? Ornithopter was a 9/4, Memnite was a 2/2, Pest was a 1/2 + plus 2 for Battle Cry = 14.
People totally forget that when a creature regenerates, it becomes tapped. So it would have made some sense to try and destroy a creature before it is declared as an attacker.
He attempted to destroy the Arcbound Ravager with Ancient Grudge. Seibold tried to save the Ravager by targeting it with his Welding Jar. Dickmann redirected the Welding Jar's target to Spellskite. Then Seibold tried to use modular on his Ravager's death to put its +1/+1 counters onto his Inkmoth Nexus, but Dickmann redirected the target of this ability to Spellskite as well, forcing Seibold to concede due to his hopelessly empty board.
Spellskite, that artifact traitor, refused to work for the Great Collective any longer. Or in other words: Spellskite is really good against Affinity, since it can "steal" Arcbound Ravager's Modular ability.
Niggah these guys are playing at a pro tour level... Missing a line costs you potentially thousands of dollars. We have perfect information, we could play these games so much quicker, but they dont. When a game potentially could be over in 4 turns... every turn counts, every mana counts... These guys are insanely talented and the games were very close.
Patrick moves so slow. It's amazing. He's just chillin'.

It's amazing how far people's understanding of magic has come.

You do realize there is also second main phase?
***** He used the Memnite with Springleaf Drum so he did not attack with it.
This might have been the weirdest match of Magic I've ever watched.

People also totally forget it removes it from combat.
How did Dickmann win game 3?

Great Game
Go Germany : P
Deutschland uber alles!
Dickmann. LOLLL
it's both funny in english and in german
why didn't Dickmann Ancient Grudge the Inkmoth Nexus? It's an artifact creature when activated, so it's a legal target for the spell...
My first thought too with that play. Destroy inkmoth, untap destroy plating, then the jar wouldnt be able to regen either.
zach hills sideboard analysis was HORRIBLE he didn't suggest torpor orb OR Spellskites in against twin.
NOT boarding those in might catch your opponent off-guard. xD
10:14 xD
These guys are extremely handsome!
He probably would have one by helixing 3 times
First game was interesting, but man, these guys play so sloooow.
