He was quite salty, he just threw his hands up when Wurmcoil landed, and just had "sure" hands when thragtusk is casted. Sometimes I think Jund and Junk are better off ignoring the matchup and cutting Fulminator all together, let other frustrated players get into burn and infect and aggro instead, Jund is not designed to beat Tron or Titanshift, it's just not worth it
There's zero inserting lines of play and close to no crucial lines of play, he didn't need to be present against Lossette
This Jund vs. Tron matchup is painful. Jund player is heading toward salt-town.
Tron does, what Tron is built for.
I mean, if you play 2 Fulmis in the SB and hope to have a good Tron match-up (or even), than you will wake up to the painful reality.

I could play with 4 Fulminators, 4 Crumble to dusts and 2 Blood Moons and probably still not have an even matchup. Fulminators don't even work against RG Tron
RG Tron usually doesn't require an opponent to be on the other side
RG Tron is super redundant, so I don't think people can say, "what a lucky topdeck!" RG Tron does it more than any deck I know in those situations. Pretty impressive how well Joe Losett has done in the GP's with Tron
I agree that women being visible in a game filled with nerdy men is nice, but it still doesn't mean she gets the thumbs up from me, just because of her being a female. I'm being less sexist saying I don't think she's very good as a commentator than saying, "she's a girl! It's great! it's fine!" I'm glad it puts a face on women getting into a game filled with guys, and it makes it more accessible---but I guess as a serious player, I wish I saw better insight from experienced commentators/players
She needs to work on learning modern better, maybe giving better insight into modern, not just clinging to every word LSV says. I'm not trying to be rude, but in these Keep or Mulls, I could care less what she thinks, I don't think she's a good player from what I've heard.
I'm not shocked about Affinity, I know I personally hedged Affinity hate a little, Jund players are cutting a 2nd K-Command for Pulse, some cutting sideboard hate. People are focused on hating out Rg Tron, Company and Nahiri. Affinity is always best when forgotten. Not shocked Nahiri decks have been quiet, I think picking a deck that had that much attention is a terrible meta-call
Mistakes happen when this many games happen, you get fatigued, plus nerves against playing a big name player
Poor Jund, Bant Eldrazi just looks too good against it, turn 2 Thought-Knots and Drowners of Hope is brutal. The Bant Eldrazi deck looks so clean and redundant
Aso, how awful is this commentary? I prefer watching Finkel play, him and Sutcliff are sooooooooo boring. They talk in monotone voices, no interesting banter, no excitement, Sutcliff sometimes sounds like he doesn't even play the game or understand it, and there's no interesting views.
LSV is good, but Gabby Spartz is awful, she just sounds like a little girl idolizing her father, and she just tosses softball questions and scenario's to LSV. I wish Cedric and Sullivan could do all the commentary
So, how many times did Paulo Cua punt game 2 against Chapin? He went down to 1 life and took his sweet time with the clock ticking down hoping for a draw
Thopter combo straight up sucks, played against it a ton on MTGO, it looked awful against my Jund deck, it looked awful against my RG Valakut, and it looked awful against Jeskai Flash. The deck needs to be put into a better shell, as they are right now, they're bad
If those souls of caverns weren't so expensive, I'd be excited to buy up all those pieces before they spike
-Jund
-Junk
-Jeskai
-Company/Kiki-Chord
-Grixis
I have Affinity and that's it.
I got into Twin because I wanted a meta call for when Jund wasn't good against a lot of goldfish decks, but that got banned
It happens, RG Tron usually just loses to burn and infect

Cedric and Patt had me laughing last weekend though
the
"Sorry, bad parents, bro"
and
"Another strike against democracy" were great, along with Sullivan talking about not to ever tweet or email him, while still giving great commentary
It'll be hard for most players in general to give better insight or knowledge than LSV, he's one of the best players of all time
