PureMTGO.com would like to offer a congrats to all members of the the MOCS Season 3 Championship Top Eight for their accomplishment! We'd also like to wish Ogre Ascetic good luck in Rome!
I think nodnol played really bad in game2 when he decided not to attack with the 3/1 while he had the pro green guy. Maybe I'm missing something but he would have probably won.
I agree completely,I can't see any reason not to attack with it leaving the pro green guy for def and either we're both missing something or that was definately the wrong play.
But since the hands are not available in the replays, it's not really fair for anyone to say he played really bad. We miss a lot of information by not being able to see what is in the hands.
If it were me though, that Drake is getting in there as soon as my Outlander resolves.

thats cool that you did that, but it would be better if u just shut up instead of commentating. you saying the things before they happen is like getting a heads up on whos gonna die at a scary movie. more shhhhhhh please.

Yea I saw his hand early on and knew he could cycle resounding silence if I attacked. I personally didnt want him drawing a card, I prefered to keep his 8 lands untapped. His deck was perfect vs mine, pro black and stingers were the nightmare matchup.
That's fair. I missed the exchange of you seeing his hand therefore knowing what he had to potentially blow you out with.
I would have made a minor mistake, but if going back would you have attacked into it anyway, just to get it out of his hand and maybe open yourself up more to a different game plan?
it is really cool to watch the videos here, ty for that !
The games are pretty interesting and most of the decks seem really well built & pretty solid. The deck of Ogre is very potent : Defiler of Souls + Broodmate dragon gave to him a deep advantage (especialy the defiler which seems to have a special ability like "when defile comes into play, your opponents have to say gg" :D ). The strategy with early outlander & zombie worked very well to gain enough time in order to call the bomb... GG
Oops, sorry. Guess the video lagged and I didnt see the Valeron Outlander getting killed the first view. My bad. Looks like some horrible mana flood and the 2:1 with the Branching Bolt really blew you out that game.

I wish i was good enough to open defiler and broodmate and have my opponents mulligan to 5 every match because their decks are still better, oh and draw the defiler and broodmate every game

The remaining rounds of the Quarters and Semis are being uploaded, and I hope to be able to have them up before 8pm est.
Of both Semi final matchups have been posted.
Enjoy.

yeah if you noticed I stopped talking after I figured out I could not work out the audio and video delay.
Watch the rest of the videos, they are with out commentary.
And next time, be a little less rude. No one likes a jerk.
