"In Yokohama, his play against Benjamin Caumes in that final Top 8 showed just what made Jon such a great player over the course of his career. Jon had a Sparksmith on the board without another Goblin in sight and was not holding one either – he actually had very few in his deck. Ben had played Wirewood Herald which threatened to fetch one of Caumes' Timberwatch Elf – a card that could be disastrous for Jon. So what did Jon do? He shot the Herald allowing Ben to put the Timberwatch from his deck into hand. Caumes assumed that Jon had to be holding another Goblin or he never would have shot the Herald in the first place, and refused to play the pumping elf until it was too late. From his first Pro Tour Top 8 in the Junior division of New York to the Top 8 of Yokohama, Jon exemplified the mental aspects of the game like no other player."

Bon Benjamin va perdre, mais d'un autre cote c'est Johnny Magic en face aussi. Ca fait rever quand meme.

il est vrai que finkel est certainement le joueur le plus impressionant que j ai eu l occasion de rencontrer jusqu a maintenant et c est clairement cette capacité a faire peser une pression psychologique constante sur les epaules de son adversaire qui ont fait de lui une legende de magic.
