My belief as to Why John Finkel should have blocked.

The reason Finkel should have blocked is that he had 7 spirits and 4 mana open. John says that he was playing around Inferno titan.
lets look at what happens if he had blocked. he loses a spirit
goes to 6 spirits
If inferno titan is cast with 9 mana up. John casts snapcaster mage and targets a mana leak and casts it. Kibler would have paid and kill 3 spirits. So Finkel would have had 3 spirits left. and no mana left. So that John could have dropped the captain and won.
If kibler didnt pay for the mana leak. john would have had 6 spirits in play and a Snapcaster mage with only combust and galvatic blast. and would be able to kill enough things to stop defeat.

But this would leave him open to being destroyed by a Whipflare and Slagstorm. But as this would have been post combat. If Kibler had a whipflare or a slagstorm it would have been countered by a negate leaving Finkel with 2 mana up and Kibler with 6-7 mana. This would mean that it would depend on what was in Kiblers hand as to weather the game was decided or not.

what does my future hold?

i ask myself what i want in my future. I dont really know, I know i want to become a famous magic player but even then its a slow process. I can tell that i am improving at everytime i play the game. But even then its slow. I have drafted like 6 times this week and still havent needed to put in money which is a good thing. I can also play constructed which helps as i can grind like a mofo for days and get there. ATM I am completely dead as like i am playing so much it isnt funny I grinded all day yesterday and am grinding against today, I am looking to make those 1% differences as that is what it takes to get there in life.

I think i still need to improve like everyone else in life. BUt i guess now that school is over things are changing quickly. I no longer have structure to my life. Its just do what you want when you want to now. I thinking i am slowing burning out after playing a week worth of magic and that has been amazing but still I guess the late nights and early mornings do mess with you a lot.

But where school has finished I have put facebook, twitter, writing and Magic into those positions and i may be getting a new job soon which will be amazing. So yeah thats just an update of what has been going on in my life not just in magic but in general.
