Podcast appearances and mentions of jarvis yu

With Dom on the move this week, Jarvis Yu joins the podcast to yell at clouds during the quarterly pre-B&R announcement airing of grievances. One format is safe from our ire, the others.... who knows, and that's even ignoring that Underworld Breach is finally over. Patreon / Discord 

It's Pro Tour weekend and Dom is finally qualified for a Pro Tour pundit take-a-thon again! The volatile chimera of Dom, Ari, and Jarvis tries to glimpse the future without too much boomer reminiscing about the past...Patreon / Discord 

With Eternal Weekends just around the RC corner, Jarvis Yu renounces his Jarvis correspondent role for a more traditional Legacy gamer hat and chats post-Grief Legacy with Ari. Have the bans actually fixed a format, are other MH3 cards keeping up with Psychic Frog, or should we all just be playing Nadu in the place they still let the dirty bird fly free?DMV Legacy League InvitationalPatreon / Twitter / Discord

Dom is in Amsterdam to defend his place on the Pro Tour, and Jarvis Yu is back on the podcast to defend his title as Pro Tour prediction champion. Will Ari and Jarvis's Draft and Modern opinions line up with the Pro Tour consensus, or will this be a battle of who can be barely less wrong than the other?Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Jarvis Yu joins Ari this week for his typical role as pre-PT correspondent, but this time from the competitor field! Listen to where testing for Pro Tour Outlaws of Thunder Junction took Jarvis for Standard, and tune into the Pro Tour coverage to root on Jarvis and Dom in Seattle.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on PatreonCharity Legacy $7k with Jarvis and Ari on commentary, 5/11/2024 in Maryland

 The semi-regular Pro Tour predictions episode with Jarvis Yu returns to stakes some claims about Pioneer, Draft, and even a bit of Standard for the $75k Open at Magic Con Chicago. Join him and Ari as they prove themselves right (or wrong) about a wide spread of topics, even if they refuse to weigh in on the great pizza debate.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom's Patreon

Ari has restored his appreciation for Yawgmoth in Modern, and Jarvis Yu steps into the pod to discuss why the deck he is likely playing at the upcoming Regional Championship has gone from a solid combo deck with flaws to one of the undeniable best decks in the format.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom's Patreon

With Ari off scaling the beanstalks of the Mediterranean, noted JOTS (Jarvis of the show) Jarvis Yu steps in for a rapid reaction to Monday's announcements and non-announcements. The nature of Booster Draft may or may not be able to change forever while Modern is chugging along as our previous guests do everything in their power to show why this visit to Eldraine may cause lasting damage too.Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Jarvis is back from Vegas to regale us with stories of Ragavans and Princess Bride cards and Bean-based shenanigans. We're talking about new products, an itty bit of standard, and plenty of randomly interjected asides. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

With Dom in Barcelona at the PT, Jarvis Yu joins the podcast to make predictions about that event. Will Orcish Bowmasters or The One Ring come out ahead? Will green succeed or fail in draft? Will Dom dominate the other Canadians in head-to-head results? Find out this weekend, but first listen in to see how right (or wrong) Jarvis can be about it! 0:00 - Constructed Predictions25:00 - Limited Predictions35:00 - Player Predictions53:30 - Modern Results1:03:00 - Nonsense (Flumpher Twin) Show Notes Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Jarvis joins us this week fresh off a top 8 for an extra large episode where we're talking four color, modern, and we even check in on what's going on in legacy! Come celebrate our tricentennial or whatever you call it when a podcast turns 300 episodes old

With Dom at the Pro Tour in Minneapolis, Jarvis Yu joins the podcast for some RCQ format grab bag. Where does Pioneer stand as the effects of the last Pro Tour and last sets trickle through, how do you approach March of the Machine Limited, and how does an entire Modern Challenge earn the Nonsense of the Week title?00:00 - Pioneer Roundup33:30 - March of the Machine Limited54:30 - PT Standard Predictions1:05:30 - Modern Results1:18:30 - Nonsense of the Week - An Entire Modern Challenge

Full disclosure: we don't really talk all that much about Ragavan himself. But we spend plenty of time on the Standard bans, goofy Alchemy buffs, and the Modern no-bans, so there's lots of fun to be had! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

It's vintage this week, so we invited Jarvis over to give us an update on magic's goofiest format! But first we have to spend some time talking about the possibilities of Yakuza Moonfolk and whether WotC can pull of an anti-war story with The Brothers' War. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Jarvis Yu is considered to be a legacy specialist after he won and top 8ed a legacy Grand Prix with Lands! :))

CCR has been playing a ton of historic and the format is great, so we spend the first half of the episode going on about torrential gearhulk and archon of emeria. But then our legacy correspondent Jarvis Yu stops by to give us the scoop on legacy before Manatraders this weekend! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Look, we tried to have a serious talk about what's going on in vintage magic. It's not our fault that every card reminds us of a story, and that it's literally impossible not to tell a story when you think of it. This was unavoidable. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Anuraag, Daniel and special guest Jarvis Yu (www.twitch.tv/jarvisyu, www.twitter.com/jkyu06) discuss the recent companion mechanic changes and how the Legacy & Standard formats are affected by it!

Following his win in the Legacy Format Playoff on the previous weekend with the hottest deck in town, Jarvis Yu joins Bob and Julian to talk about NBC RUG Delver. Known by many for his proficiency with RG Lands, Jarvis is actually a veteran Delver pilot and has a lot to say about the current state of the deck - and why it is secretly a Jund a deck at times! In the second half of the cast, Bob goes full Facebook and unleashes his collective metagame data onto the world. He's been keeping track of all medium and high stakes Legacy events ever since the last sets releases, providing us with a comprehensive analysis of the most successful decks in the format right now. Which decks have been putting up the numbers - and which specific deck did lead Bob to call it one of the most overhyped decks in the history of the format? Bob's Meta Analysis Understanding Bob's data: Decks are generally sorted into one of three categories: Aggro, Midrange/Control and Combo (from left to right) The number under M20 shows the number of Top8 finishes of big Legacy tournaments with at least 8 rounds ever since M20 was released The number under ELD is unimportant for now, it's for Throne of Eldraine. You can see the total metagame share of the deck in numbers and % in the last two columns Colors show relevance: green has decks of at least 3% share, yellow shows decks with 2% share, and orange is for decks with less than 2% but more than 1% Uncolored decks have been close to non-existent in the winners metagame The numbers at the very bottom show aggregated metagame percentages for the grand categories: Aggro at 33.6%, Midrange/Control at 29.5% and Combo at 36.9% This is Bob's break up of the data into different, non-archetype-specific categories. It teaches us about the prevalence of certain important cards in the metagame, such as how often non-blue decks rise to the top, how much of a factor Thalia, Guardian of Thraben still is in the metagame, and how Dark Depths has surpassed Griselbrand for the time being.

Jarvis Yu joins Bob and Julian to talk about NBC RUG Delver and the metagame right before GP Atlanta.

During his trip to GP Oakland, Cedric Phillips sat down with Ben Friedman, Jarvis Yu, Paul Rietzl, Corey Burkhart, Matt Nass, and a whole host of others to chat about the Modern decks that selected for Oakland's main event and why, what their favorite guild from Ravnica Allegiance is, what they're most excited about from Ravnica Allegiance, and if it's finally time to ban Krark-Clan Ironworks.

On Monday Wizards of the Coast dropped the biggest bomb on Legacy in quite a while: with and leaving the format for good, the format has become as wide open as it's ever been since at least early 2012! Together with Legacy masters and Bob Huang and today's guests Jarvis Yu, we explore what the future of Legacy could look like and which decks we would currently love to explore more of in the near future. All three of us are really thrilled to jump head-first into the this fresh new format with tons of seemingly viable strategies and decks to put in the hours with. Other than that, we also nerd out a bit about past Legacy GP results as a source of inspiration for what the fturue of Legacy might hold. Decks discussed include: * Canadian Threshold (“RUG Delver”) * GW Maverick * Miracles * Storm * Lands * UB / BR Reanimator * Grixis Control * BUG Landstill * Goblins * Merfolk * Elves Show Notes Bob Huang on Twitter: @Griselpuff Bob Huang on Twitch: twitch.tv/griselpuff Jarvis Yu on Twitter: @jkyu06 Jarvis Yu on Twitch: twitch.tv/jarvisyu We'll all be streaming a lot of Legacy, so make sure to check out both Bob's and Jarvis' streams, as well as mine on twitch.tv/itsJulian. We'd love to hear your feedback on today's episode in the comment section or via Twitter. This is only the second episode I have edited myself and I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or advise on how we could improve your enjoyment of Everyday Eternal even further! So long, Julian

Jarvis Yu is back. He was my first guest on the show, and I am excited to have him back. In this two-part series, I sit down with Jarvis for an in-depth conversation. Part 1 is Jarvis’ year in review. Jarvis opens up about his accomplishments, goals, and insights for the coming year. He is also brutally honest about where he needs to improve in order to reach the next level. As Jarvis plays on the Pro Tour and is a regular on Team Massdrop East, you may find his observations helpful to your own player development. Part 2 (THIS EPISODE) is a Legacy Lands mini-primer straight from the master himself. As one of the most accomplished Lands players on the planet—two Grand Prix Top 8 finishes, including 1 win, and a Top 16 finish—Jarvis is uniquely qualified to speak on this subject. We cover deck basics, matchups, card choices, and more. Definitely give this episode a listen if you want to unlock the intricacies of the deck. For maximum Jarvis, make sure you listen to both parts. I hope that you enjoy listening to this double-header series as much as I enjoyed recording it. Subscribe to “Humans of Magic” on iTunes today.

“The most important lesson I’ve learned is letting that which truly does not matter, go.” Damon Whitby, also known as “Parcher” on The Source, is one of the elder statesman of the Legacy format. He’s been advancing the format for over a decade. These days he can usually be found terrorizing opponents with his Dredge deck, although he has played a wide range of archetypes over the years. This episode is filled with Damon’s experiences and musings on life. Never one to hold back, he talks about his rough childhood and what lies beneath his gruff exterior. Damon also talks about the mid-Atlantic Magic scene and some of the best players he’s interacted with. In many instances, the discussions verged into personal and life-related observations. The honesty really came through in this conversation. As someone who grew up with The Source, I hope that I have done Damon justice in representing his views and that you will enjoy this recording.

Land ho!!! Legacy Grand Prix winner Jarvis Yu joins the cast to talk about one of the strangest decks the format has to offer. It's part prison, part combo, and all fun. Check it out!

Jarvis Yu is a class act, and the consummate Magic player. We talk about his childhood, methods for improvement, and how his math background has helped him excel at the game. Jarvis also shares some exciting tournament moments.

Infinite diversity. Early Challenge Starting out, Jarvis thought that a 1/2 for one mana was good - because it was "more efficient" than a 1/1 for one. He quickly learned that cards with abilities, like Eternal Witness, even though they don't have the best power/toughness/mana ratio are much better. Level Up Moment Zigging when everyone else zagged helped Jarvis grow. He saw (with the help of a friend) a strategy that wasn't explicitly supported in Ravnica City of Guilds.
