Pro Tour The Lord of the Rings

• View history

Pro Tour the Lord of the Rings was the final Pro Tour of the 2022–23 season . It took place on July 28-30, 2023 in Barcelona, Spain. It followed the release of the straight-to-Modern set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth , and the first Modern Pro Tour after the return of the Pro Tour Label. Additionally, it was the final Pro Tour before 2023 World Championship , so it was the final chance to earn AMP and lock up a slot.

Modern [ | ]

With most of Constructed Magic being relegated to MTG Arena from 2020 to 2023, Modern had been upended multiple times as to be basically unrecognizable from Mythic Championship IV Barcelona , especially with the release of Modern Horizons 2 .

The One Ring and Orcish Bowmasters , released in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth , were expected to make waves in the now turbulent format, by upgrading Tron and Rakdos decks, respectively. Additionally, the land-cycling spells introduced in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth were additions to the Living End and Crashing Footfalls decks. Delighted Halfling and Samwise Gamgee made appearances in select decks as a mana-dork and combo piece, respectively.

Day One [ | ]

Featured drafters: Nathan Steuer

Day Two [ | ]

Top 8 [ | ]

Javier Dominguez and Simon Nielsen make it back-to-back Pro Tour Top 8's, joined by two Italian players in Marco Del Pivo and Stefano Vinci. Additionally, Kai Budde would reach his tenth career top eight. Sadly, on this Sunday, the promise "Kai does not lose" would be broken, as Christian Calcano would beat him in the quarterfinals, en route to the finals, piloting a Mono-Green Tron deck. There he would face Jake Beardsley , who in his first Pro Tour, cheered on by commentators and fans, would win the day with a Rakdos Evoke Deck.

Bernard Hill, Titanic and Lord of the Rings Actor, Dead at 79

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

The post Bernard Hill, Titanic and Lord of the Rings Actor, Dead at 79 appeared first on Consequence .

Bernard Hill, the English actor known for his parts in films like Titanic , The Lord of the Rings , and more, has died. He was 79 years old.

Hill’s passing was confirmed on Sunday by his agent Lou Coulson (per the BBC ).

Born in Manchester, England on December 17th, 1944, Hill was the son of a miner and grew up in working class conditions. After graduating from the Manchester School of Theatre in 1970, he began his acting career with a string of television and film performances. In 1976, he had a small role in the show I, Claudius , and in 1979, he debuted as Yosser Hughes in the television play The Black Stuff , which then became the acclaimed series, Boys from the Blackstuff .

As Hughes, Hill gave a voice to the working class of England during the economic and social difficulties of the Thatcher era. An out-of-work tarmac layer struggling to hold on to a sense of dignity, his character’s catchphrase — “Gizza’ job,” or “give us a job” — resonated with many, and became a popular expression in the 1980s.

After Boys from the Blackstuff , Hill appeared in films like Gandhi and more BBC TV programs, portraying the Duke of York in a series on Henry VI and John Lennon in the 1985 title John Lennon: A Journey in the Life .

In the 1990s, Hill appeared alongside Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer in the man-eating lion film, The Ghost and the Darkness , starting a run of bigger film appearances. In 1997, he had perhaps one his best-remembered roles: that of Captain Edward James Smith in James Cameron’s 1997 masterpiece, Titanic .

Beyond Titanic , another of Hill’s iconic roles was playing King Théoden of Rohan in the second and third films in Peter Jackson’s epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, delivering the classic lines in the face of Sauron’s army, “Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride for ruin and the world’s ending!” Watch a clip of the scene below.

Between those two roles, Hill actually had earned the distinction of being the only actor to have ever appeared in two films that won 11 Academy Awards.

Through the 2000s and 2010s, Hill continued working, appearing in films like 2008’s Valkyrie , and narrating series for the BBC, like Ocean Odyssey , Wild China , and more. In fact, he continued working until this year, and will even appear in the second season of the TV drama, The Responder , which premieres today, May 5th.

Hill is survived by his wife, actor Marianna Hill, and their son Gabriel.

RIP Bernard Hill. His speech in as King Theoden in RTK will go down as one of the best in cinema history pic.twitter.com/BZFmuK3vyu — Kenjac (@JackKennedy) May 5, 2024

MTG Pro Tour drama teaches important lesson: Never trust your opponent

Drama over conceding matches at Regional Championship Montreal for a Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour 2023-2024 season invite has ended, but no rules have been changed. 

Draws and concessions have been in the MTG hot seat before at high-level tournament play, especially when a seed invite is on the line. The Pro Tour helped remove some of the controversy by allowing players who hit 12 match wins an automatic advancement to the top eight playoffs. But Regional Championship organizers, like the recent RC in Montreal, are allowed to have their own rules in place. This led to a verbal agreement between MTG players Brian Bonnell and Eduardo Sajgalik, in which one would concede if their final match of the time went to time, allowing the player with the stronger board state to advance and earn a Pro Tour invite . 

The match hit time and was unable to end without either a concession or a draw. But Sajgalik didn’t concede, as was agreed upon, even though Bonnell had a stronger board advantage through his Domain Ramp deck. This earned Sajgalik a 13th-place finish with both players missing out on the Pro Tour invite. The Magic community was quick to blast Sajgalik for poor sportsmanship, resulting in a public apology from the veteran player. The apology wasn’t received well by the Magic community until Bonnell decided it was time “to put this whole thing to bed and move on with our lives.” 

“I just wanted to clear the air about the events at the Canadian RC this past weekend” Bonnell said. “Sajgalik [@walaoumpa] reached out to me yesterday to offer his sincerest apologies. I accepted his apology and I sincerely wish him the best moving forward.”

Matches like Bonnel and Sajgalik had at RC Montreal aren’t common but they do happen. The only way to prevent controversy from drawn matches at the end of a tournament is to change the overall rules, creating uniform results at both RC and Pro Tour tournaments. It’s also advisable to not trust your opponent and always play to your best ability.  

The next Pro Tour tournament of the MTG 2023-2024 season will run from June 28 to 30 at MagicCon Amsterdam.
