Stream: twitch / magic
Highlight: Alexander Hayne playing picrelated in the DRAFT portion. He died with it still being on 1.
Thread question: will mono-red get to rule Standard part?

pts are metagamed af. rdw is a known quantity so its not likely that it completely takes down the pt unless its actually broken
they put the fucking annoying commentators Hagon and Bartholdi together on a shitty segment finally. You can mute the stream and don't have to listen to the droning.

The commentary on big streams is what actually made me stop watching them. I'd rather just watch smaller streamers playing MTGO.

LSV commentary is excellent. Marshall is very good. Most other play-by-play commentators are at least decent. Last time they brought Chapin in to commentate on Legacy was insanely good, no smaller streamer can compete with that.

They had one mono-red match on camera so far and the opp lived on 1 life feelsbadman

My inner Johnny wants to make that card work somehow. Panharmonicon(s) might make it good right?
>>54566100
It's probably not bad if you're putting it in a midrange type shell and shooting creatures but it's awful drawn late
>>54566100
Panharmonicon works with ETB triggers. Imminent Doom triggers from casting not ETB.
I'd rather have another go at Ascension.
Menwhile there is an Eldrazi-Red deck on live

Chapin is a really enjoyable caster
>>54566220
He gets so much into things sometimes it's really exciting. I would like to see him more often.
>>54566253
Exactly, he's one of the few casters who seems genuinely really happy about seeing exciting plays happen who also has enough knowledge
One Ramunap Red deck won by going balls to the wall on 4 and 5 drops.

I never understand why WotC puts on such a shit show most of the time
>casters getting things wrong/are annoying
>long wait times that they fill with NOTHING
>stream goes down/audio problems almost everytime guaranteed
>somehow they have a bad layout
Like what the fuck
>>54566699
>long wait times that they fill with NOTHING
Wait what? I'm not watching right now but some time ago they had almost no downtime with time walked matches filling time between matches + at most a 3 minute blank screen so casters could get ready
>>54565289
Red might just take the whole thing but this is mostly due to sample size
there are more than twice as many mono red decks at this PT than any other kind of deck
hopefully they have a horrible conversion rate and just all drop off
I fucking hate RDW
