Back from work and watching the replays... Jesus, some appaling mistakes on camera.
Jesus Christ, PV played awfully on camera against turtenwald. Both games, his hand full of disruption that could buy him enough time to go off on a single turn, he decides to just plop the Ascendancy on the field, playing against storm, a deck that can easily go off undisrupted on turn 3. Of course, both times, it cost him the game.
It's even worse because recently Turtenwald was mouthing off on Twitter how it must be nice to be brazilian and get easily qualified for Worlds, and PV kinda proved he's really not at that level in that match. Tom Martell also made a rookie mistake with him passing priority before remanding the manamorphose copy. i'd quite like to see someone playing that CFB Ascendancy deck perfectly to see how it matches up against other combo decks in the format.
From what I saw, Utter-Leyton was playing it pretty well
I'm disappointed from the low Uwr conrol/midrange presence.
All went for Ur delver or Ascendancy letting behind perfect strong decks like Uwr control and mid, Affinity or Twin. This Modern wolrd cup looks like a testing field to me
I think UWR Control (I am not counting McLaren's trainwreck) would have done well here, especially with Geist in the SB.
Thanks, I missed those. That is fine if you are expecting a lot of Thrun or something, but when is he going to be able to tap out and resolve Wrath against Delver? Verdict is clearly the choice there.
I still think 4x DTT is weird with the way the rest of the deck is built.
He basically thinks out of the box. He did the same thing at his PT Win with the Kiki-Jiki, Resto and Wall engine/kill. It may be good in this meta, or even be good general, but you can't judge it without testing it. And btw. he plays more sweepers.

He plays more sweepers? I see 1x Supreme Verdict in the main and 1x Anger in the side. I dunno, maybe I am missing something here, but it looks bad.
Gotta say I am not liking McLaren's list at all. 3x Bolts? 2x Helix? Seriously? 4x DIG THROUGH TIME?? He doesn't even run Serum Visions or Thought Scour, so how in the hell is this a good idea?
Seriously it is gross. Makes me sad, because I love UWR. 4x Bolt, 4x Helix, 3x Electrolyze should have been in that deck without question.
