Just saw the quarterfinals through the finals for last years pro tour. It was insane. Really good decks. It was a modern tourney so it made me happy. Haha
AnyOne else watched these either live or on YouTube?
Also, does anyone know anyone or experienced it for theirselves?
Yes. I liked the kibler Finkel wolf ramp vs uw delver. Kibler came back from 2-1 to win! Legends.

What's the name? I wanna watch it haha
Pro tour dark ascension top 8 semifinals
Saw that one too
You guys should watch pro tour quarter finals in Philadelphia. Up until the finals. They go crazy.
I'm currently watching pro tour avacyn restored. It's crazy. The winner ran a deck using no creatures, just land, a few spells letting him draw, and a ton of miracles. Its legit

Alexander hayne I believe. Deck is really expensive. It's great for block but not nearly as good in standard. I have seem standard versions but there's too much for it to be legit.
Yeah, Alex Hayne. It was a great final
The dark ascension pro tour videos made me want to quit magic all together.

Really why?
I don't remember what they were
I have seen literally all of these decks at my fnm's.
I think I'm just going to stop playing standard till something better comes out.

Why not just beat everyone up with your own homebrew?

I just don't think the sets allow it.
Plus it gets boring playing against the same decks a the time.
Edh, legacy, and vintage will probably be my forte for a while. Though no one really plays vintage so edge and legacy will be okay. Haha. If I can get the cards for them.
Just gotta find someone to trade my standard cards to.

I'm not sure what you mean by "I just don't think the sets allow it."
I'm not hugely versed in competitive play myself, but I have a feeling you might find yourself playing similar decks in Legacy and Vintage too. At least, from a competitive standpoint. Casual play brings out all sorts of different decks.
I just remember when I went to fnm and never saw the same decks twice.
That's all. I just don't think these current sets allow many competitive options.
Legacy is extremely broad, so you may see the same idea, but rarely the same exact cards.

You would think with 7 sets out at once there would be variety.

Are you seriously saying thy Legacy has more variety in competitive decks than standard?
Of course.
Like I said previously. The win conditions may be similar, but with many different cards.
It doesn't need a name to be competitive.

I think you need to be playing more drafts. It's the really only way that you will see people forced to build something different.
Drafting well on the other hand is something I'm still learning..

I'm no good at drafting. I can do sealed though. Except it's really expensive to play often.
I'm watching legacy worlds. It's nasty. I love this!!

You guys actually keep track of these guy's lives? Haha. This is too funny.
What else do you know about him? What was this incident?

Quite well, thanks for asking. He's a big boy. Mason is his name, btw.
Got any of your own?

That was my subtle way of pointing out that you yourself have 'been laid'. (at least, it's fairly probable) So I guess that means you're out of the running for Pro Tour, eh?

Haha yeah. I dont think I want to make that kind of commitment for a card game. Grand prix is prolly as far as I'll go. Just to say I've been there and done it. Ya know?
Btw, my girl said that as we watched one of the worlds 2011 quarterfinals videos on YouTube. I found it quite funny.
Jon Finkel tried, but he tried with Alyssa Bereznak. Sucks for him.

Google it. It's actually humorous and annoying at the same time.
