It's been a while since I reviewed the details of the Kibler/Finkel match, but I think you are not giving Finkel's line of play enough credit. If he did the things you were talking about (blocking a wolf, not flashing back Lingering Souls), he would have lost to Inferno Titan. The Titan would have come down and taken out three dorks, making Finkel's next attack non-lethal. Finkel had no way to deal with the Titan, so on Kibler's next turn, the Titan would have taken out another three dorks before blockers and basically locked Finkel out of any chance of winning. For Finkel, the choice was whether to play around triple Galvanic Blast or to play around Inferno Titan. Perhaps he should have read Kibler and put him on one or two Blasts, but it still seems correct to favor playing around a top-decked Titan over a top-decked third Blast. At least, that's what I remember from when I saw the match -- I might be misremembering the details. I’m late listening to this one….

The magic-related stuff is really interesting and almost worth sitting through the endless tangents about basketball and other irrelevant crap. Almost, but not quite. You could so easily make an awesome MTG podcast, simply by cutting the non-magic stuff and making a bulletpoint list of topics beforehand.

Also, how about Semblance Anvil + Instants in UR Burning Vengence... Desperate Ravings, Think Twice, Giest Flame? Also, these aren't instants, but Ponder and Faithless Looting (after Dark Ascension)? Is that good? Snapcaster Mage? How about Past in Flames + Burning Vengence + Gitaxian Probe + Gut Shot? Is there going to be a top tier deck? Like Pyromancer's Ascension? Maybe Burning Vengence goes in the Pyromancer's Ascension Modern deck? Spikeshot Elder + Curse of the Stalked Prey in RDW?
