Watch: MTG Pro Matt Nass Somehow Wins Against Seth Manfield With A Teferi Emblem


p>Wizards of the Coast

 

At the Mythic Invitational at PAX East, Magic: The Gathering professional player Matt Nass played against Hall of Famer Seth Manfield in a Standard Esper Control mirror match that will be remembered, and Nass proved that he's not just a master of the Modern Krark-Clan Ironworks deck that he's famous for; he's clearly a master of the game.

Watch the clip above. 

With Manfield's Teferi Emblem exiling Nass' sources of blue mana and with Teferi controlling the game it seemed impossible for Nass to win the game but thanks to his copy of Unmoored Ego, Nass was able to take out all copies of Teferi from his hand, deck, and graveyard to pave his path to victory.

Since Manfield has a copy of Teferi on his hand, he was forced to draw but since Unmoored Ego also took out the copy from his deck, he ends up losing the game because of his inability to draw a card from his library. 

Nass' comeback was incredible to watch, but it's not just the game-winning move that's worth watching. The way Nass holds his lands that produce blue mana to protect it from Teferi's Emblem and play them when needed shows his true mastery of the game, so if you have a chance to watch the entire match, do it. It's definitely one of the best Magic: The Gathering comebacks caught in video coverage.
