It's still not colorless, and has no color. That's a paradox. So either you're a Zen master or an idiot, I'll assume the Zen master for sake of argument. This card will have no paradoxes because it has a clear paradox. Deep stuff man.
Odds of pulling a JtMS from a WWK pack: 1:80
Odds of pulling any specific rare in 5th Edition: 1:133
So, on average, 1 JtMS every 2.222 boxes or 1 Bird of Paradise every 3.694 boxes. Yeah, I'll take my odds with Mythics, they are easier to get than old rares.

I liked Zac. He definitely can improve, seemed inexperience and sometimes got a bit sidetracked, but he has a good presence, a strong insight as a former player/R&D member and has a likable demeanor.
Marshall I am not a fan of, just think his knowledge and stage presence are both mediocre but neither can quite justify him being there. He definitely seemed very nervous, especially in the earlier parts, and while he has a good broadcast look and voice his questions during interviews were pretty bad. But like Zac he's very inexperienced so it's fair to give him another shot or two. I've never listened to his podcast but I've heard it's definitely one of the better ones out there.
All that said, having done the last 2 PT's and some GP's, I don't care for Sheldon in the booth at all. He routinely misunderstands or relates the board, doesn't provide any really great insight outside of judging and rules issues, repeats himself constantly and has a sort of brashness that doesn't come off well when he says/does stuff that doesn't always make sense.
I'd like to see a more established former player in there to play better discuss the game states and go over decisions and such, but I guess that's harder to find since most of them would be playing in the event. That or go with Gavin Verhey, who was pretty good on SCGLive before he left for R&D. I also think TSG is quite good at doing more of the interview/deck tech job so he would be great for the between match stuff.
The one annoying thing I noticed about him was during the deck techs he kept laughing and saying, "mmhmm", "of course", and other affirmatives, like he was talking to a child.
I'm sure he'll get better with practice and reflection.
Yeah definitely would not mind them getting Gavin on the PT commentary crew, I always enjoyed his commentary when he was with SCG. I think Zack did alright though.
He wasn't too bad, but the phrase "... does a lot of work" became grating very quickly. He also didn't comment much on the games themselves, preferring instead to talk about design philosophy and the relative usefulness of certain cards, which meant that it was easy to lose track of the action at times (see: LSV vs. Osyp, game 3).

I remember watching coverage of a recent event that sheldon commented on and totally agree. He was 100% confident the entire time, which is fine when you are correct but obnoxious when you can see he doesn't understand something that happened.
You can tell that Zac Hill has had on camera training of some sort. He had some of the best posture and poise of all the commentators. His job was to give color commentating and not the play by play and he did a fantastic job of it.

i thought the other new commentator was pretty boring to listen to though.

In any case, he's cute. Ken Nagle is too, while we're on that subject.

He owned Neutral Ground in NYC and stared Gray Matter Conventions. Mediocre his knowledge is not.
