fire marshal wants to kick out all the R burn players!
LOL
that’s some funny geek humor right there!
wait do you …
wait do you actually know that or are you just kidding? I assume they were going to a tournament, but why did they stop by at a GP
Yeah, she was also …
Yeah, she was also one of the 1000 15 year old cheerleaders that were there.

lol, kinda huh ^^ …
lol, kinda huh ^^ that was a weird comment from me o.O it is a good episode though ^^
lol, you sound like …
lol, you sound like your from a news group.
I liked this …
I liked this episode, it was a nice one just for him to sit back and view the players at work, the chat with the Judge was fun, and “sizing up” uknown players was informative to me, I have difficulty when I play a new person to find their weaknesses if you will, find out where I can through my cards to hurt them the most etc, thanks Evan!
you have no life. …
you have no life. you will die in for being gay
that was what I …
that was what I thought before, but you see… it is the same with other things and pro’s there are totally focus doing it. I bet they have some more life, at least everyone should have different hobbies to not get weird at all.
u can say the same …
u can say the same thing for any “pro” in any thing, whether its a sport or any competetive thing in life. so dont be mad at pros for playing the best cards. they get paid to do it – if u got paid to do something u want to do well or youll get fired. i mean its not their fault u cant afford the best cards or what not, thats about it.
i think pro players …
i think pro players have no life and will mostly die in hell. oh well. Wizards wants nothing to do with most of these idiots, oh wow you found the broken cards to win…oooh. Chess clock these sisters!
yeah that’s …
yeah that’s I was a really noob player and I didn’t want to be a jerk by calling judge. The guy was blatantly stalling and he ended up winning that game because I made a mistake out of sheer frustration. He also got $20 store credit, which would’ve been mine had I not made that err.
That grin on his little smug face is forever ingrained in my mind, little cheating cunt.
its not luck, its …
its not luck, its just part of the game. in any sport, not saying magic is a sport… which if poker is than sure magic is too … but the best team doesnt always win, its part of the game. esspecially in certain things like that
What Evan is doing …
What Evan is doing (and it’s his show) is putting on who he thinks is cool, or who Evan thinks will make him cool. I’m pretty sure their were better options than Cedric like Tyler Mantey who is rookie of the year currently and has made 2 gp top 4’s. And Kai doing that proves luck exist which is my point, Kai during his time was considered the best but did’nt win every pro tour, the players he lost to were not better, hence my point if luck were not involved the best player would always win.
My comment was …
My comment was directed at justinbomia78, btw
Not sure what you …
Not sure what you mean, since Cedric top eighted GP Columbus four years ago. And to prove that you need to do more research before making baseless claims, previous to Craig Jones’ prolific Helix top deck, Kai held the right to luckiest of all time, after he TD’d a Morphling to get back in and win game five against Tommi Walamies at Pro Tour New Orleans 2001. So the exact inverse of your comment is true: Kai would have actually had one less PT win if he didn’t get lucky at that Pro Tour.
People wonder why …
People wonder why wiz X’d an event that may not have been able support itself, and in the next breath criticise new players for using dice bags and asking social or non magic related questions. If you bitched about states being cancled you have no right to about new players showing up…and you really have no right to discourage them from keeping your event alive, crown bags or not. Complain that they break the rules or slow up play, but dont discourage them from showing up or having fun.
Yes. Although those …
Yes. Although those can affect the game to a ridiculous amount. That’s probably why the best players use few different types of cards, but more of them.
Very miniscule .. …
Very miniscule ..the only part of the game that could be seen as luck– is draw, and top deck.
I thought MTG was …
I thought MTG was about community. What is the deal with ripping on people for using a Crown Royal bag? Just because you play events, you’re suddenly the end all be all of Magic? The casual players support Magic just as much as the spikes in tourneys and don’t take home any prize money. I kill you as fast as I can, what ever, try playing a multiplayer game or unique format casually, for fun, and see what happens against a CR bag user.
Luck is a factor, …
Luck is a factor, but I’d say it’s miniscule, compared to factors like skills and what cards you use.
great video. I …
great video. I always enjoy these interview style episodes.
interesting, the …
interesting, the best player in the last three years combined says luck is a factor in magic, and the other guys who have done a little bit (minus cedric the entertainer who has done nothing) think luck is not a factor….hmmm. LSV hit it on the head, we have all lost games due to forces beyond our control. Also if luck were not a factor the best player would always win, and guess what no one would play, don’t beleive me go ask chess. If luck were not a factor Kai Budde never loses a PT.
that’s a right …
that’s a right generalization. and wafo-tapa might be really gay.
