Lemme put it this way. BkS Rhade from NA was probably one of the best duelists i've ever seen but dammit when he fought at regular battle servers his battlefield awareness was meh tbh.
But as a duelist? He could most likely beat Phyrex i believe if they both were active for atleast 1 month prior to duel.
But Phyrex is also a great duelist (maybe best, atleast best in EU imo) but unlike Rhade he got great battlefield awareness imo. And the fact that he's soooo damn deadly in melee and know every trick in the book is even more awesome.
bro he's over
rhaded not underappreciated. He tries to be fancy while being boring, I've only dueled him about 10 times in native but I never lost a duel to him. Just due to fighting style differences between us, he's overall better vs other players, I just beat him like rock-paper-scissors I guess.
I think I've gotten much worse since then.
Wardan, he still manages to pull of tricky fights with 150 ping
Crafty guys do amazing things. block stuff with the smallest windows when you consider that latency.
