Luis Scott-Vargas
Luis is one of the most accomplished players in Magic: the Gathering history. His resume includes ten PT top 8s with a win at Berlin in 2008, fifteen GP Top 8s with five wins, and a Hall of Fame induction in 2013. He can often be found playing Vintage in between competitions and loves any format where Force of Will is legal.
Towards the end of Match 1, Game 2, Part 2 I’m thinking “Your board is so awesome but this guy is just going to top deck Fallout with you at 1 life and that will be that.” I was only thinking that because he was at 20+ life and the video only 2 minutes left. Of course, then you drop the Sphinx and I totally forgot how insane that guy gets.
On the turn after he played Mostodon and you played Sanctum Gargoyle and played a random 2 drop, wouldn’t it have been better to play Darklit Gargoyle instead of Metallurgeon to avoid auto-losing to Branching Bolt?
That triple block was horrible.
Also, why not play out cormorants instead of the second gargs so that you can keep the recursion plan online? They both got you the 3 toughness for 4 that you needed.
Yeah triple block seemed wrong.
You should’ve just returned Esperzoa at some point with so many spells in your hand (or at least considered it).
