I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything but I don't think there is a single MTG commentator that I like. :|
True, but there are some that I like more than others!
Some buzz about the Haakon, Stromgald Scourge and Nameless Inversion engine, but it's unclear where it found a home. Also seeing some notes about Cosi's Trickster (for Merfolk, probably), and the Twin combo showing up in just about any deck that can pack it in.
Id say this is just reaffirming knowledge that modern players know but often forget...so personally I cant say I'm upset.

Decks I have in my bag of tricks- Needless to say, someone who wants to play will probably have a deck UB/x Faeries UR Storm XURWB Affinity G Elves UW control
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the replay, since I didnt see it. Its not stuff I don't know... but its good to spread that info. The last thing he said was 'Play a deck you know. You'll be better at it and you'll play better against a huge field." Stuff smart modern players have been saying for years.
Just got up, but WOW. Love Chapin's talk! Gonna have to find a copy and watch it a couple of times.
Don't worry, you're probably gonna be hearing him talk every single time between rounds. SCGLive tends to play the same videos over and over again when there's a break in the action.
Hasn't it always had a home in Dredgevine? That's where I see it played. He's a zombie, filling yard is #1 goal, deck lacks reliable removal otherwise(because all your spells get pitched to the yard).

I thought his point that when you are seeing a lot of fast similar decks that it was best to go slightly bigger and slower was interesting. I tend to do that anyway, but I had never really thought about it in that way.
Hatebears with fetching and Vengevine? I've been considering a Junk build with KotR and Fauna Shaman. I would probably do it a little different though. Aether Vial seems good with Fauna Shaman, and I'm not a huge fan of Squadron Hawk, although it is good for the Vengevine trigger..
Rampager. If you dont know how to use it you shouldnt play zoo. Its one of the toughest cards to use in zoo...
Lets see this deck persuasive me that domain is better than naya. we shall see.

I don't think so, but it's hard to say through all of his misplays. Feel like he'd have had a much easier time on naya.

It is. Well, at least I can be glad that Esper Mill with Jace's Phantasm won a GPT.
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.

Anyone have a link to the full talk? I think that people need to hear a lot of this.
