Awesome content, keep it up! Minor note: At 43:00 you had 5 mana open, so EOT you could have both petty thefted the Tamiyo and flashed in borrower. Unless they have a 2-drop on top for counterbalance ... in case that's what you were playing around - which is a valid consideration I guess. But with the Karakas/Tamiyo chump-block loop it's still probably your best call.

Hi man, Kabloom (the doomsday player) here, congrats for the top in the challenge, it was surely nice to face you. Love your content, see you next time :)
Loved the video, some very sweet plays and great explanations of your thoughts as always! I've also been going deep on UB Reanimator lately since it's probably what I'm gonna be playing at Eternal Weekend. One matchup I've really been struggling with, however, is Nadu (mostly Bant Nadu, without any sort of Breakfast combo - just good Bant cards, similar to what Togores just got Top 8 at EW Asia with). How do you approach that matchup?
@@ecobaronenMTG That may have been my mistake. I thought I can mostly ignore the dork because I'm trying to be faster than what they do, but that dork also turning off my countermagic throws a wrench in that whole plan.
@32 min when you attacked and had a grip of cards, was there a reason to not ditch a few to pump frog and give them one turn to draw something? Oh I just thought that out loud and realized you could do it the next turn and would still be game. Lol
How this man only has 1k followers is blastphemy! One of the best legacy players and commentators imo right now.
I try and stay humble, but thank you for noticing
This retrospective format worked great. Loved the video
Nice to hear! I think it has pros and cons to live gaming, but both are useful in different ways

I remember playing around two drop the turn before. Great call on this turn

That jeskai control game was awesome. Definitely what magic is all about.
Haha yeah. Marcus did not want to be a good boy and die
Saw you on the challenge I was Hype when I saw you top 8!

Prioritize plan A, handle Nadu on the stack
@@ecobaronenMTG Sounds good, so you'd use early removal on Halflings whenever possible to make it possible to handle Nadu on the stack?
Yeah, in general it's a good idea to "bolt the bird", but in the context of having daze/fow against that deck, even more so

It's tough to say. The games can develop in 100s of ways. Just keep being curious

The pace is slow. You should play with "no possible play yield all".
Thanks for the tip!
It's a replay...
Won't this give away to your opponent that you don't have FOW? Like F6ing?
