Starcity Games II: Richmond Revisited T8 Coverage

[Kowal]

[00:17:46] <Saucy> kowal, slight inaccuracy in your coverage of my first match against Jay
[00:17:50] <Saucy> er
[00:17:52] <Saucy> first game
[00:18:05] <Kowal> Yeah, I actually knew about that
[00:18:08] <Kowal> I missed a chunk of notes
[00:18:11] <Saucy> he wasted my trop
[00:18:17] <Saucy> and IR i intuitioned
[00:18:28] <Kowal> I think I got owned by PTW talking about hoochies
[00:18:36] <Kowal> and had to piece together what happened
[00:18:40] <Saucy> because i decided he probably didn't have the 3sphere, so i decided not to waste the turn saving for drain
[00:18:52] <Saucy> and then pwnd me by dropping 3sphere after all
[00:19:08] <Saucy> i was reading it and thinking "OH MY GOD did I misplay that badly?"

Yeah, I made a mistake.  But the rest is hot hot hot.

Yeah, I didn't respond to Trinisphere by Intuition for AK with three lands on the board and my opponent with Wasteland, and me with Drain in hand.  There's one of Jay's turns missing in there somewhere.  Anyway, thanks for the coverage, Ben.  Nice to see Jacob win it even through Jay's (unintentional) Time Walk!  Jay was a great player, and deserved his 2nd place finish.

You know, I didn't even realize that I took that time walk until this morning when I read the match coverage!  Nobody said anything about it to me, I'm just glad it didn't affect the outcome of the match.

Thanks for the props, Sauce.  Even though I won three of my four matches vs md oath, none of them were easy.  You guys came well prepared.

I can't wait for the next SCG in Richmond, much thanks Pete.
