always make them have it. always.

The sb rule was made in 09, the event was in 05.. rules were a little different then

Good video. I thought TH-cam/Google was just being deceptive/trying to save money, as usual; but you provided a good explanation of what they are likely doing. This, along with various compression manipulation, is likely why some videos look so bad on higher resolutions.

Too bad we have open deck list now.

At least make him play out the combo the first time he asserts it. Make sure he knows the combo and that he has the cards in his deck list and his actual deck to execute from start to finish. After the combo player has earned your respect, then you can consider conceding when he starts it up again in the next game. Around the same era, I got Yata-Locked in Yugioh. I saw a few cycles of the combo and decided that the situation was hopeless. Today, I know the one mistake there was that I should have made sure that my opponent didn't deck out before he finished chipping away at my life points with Yata-Garasu. 200 Atk points and a 40 card deck vs. 8000 starting life points is a race between Yata and the deck. Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End should kick-start the LP drain because its effect inflicts 300 damage for every card it destroys, but still, it's super important to make sure that the remaining deck size actually favors the combo.

I remember hearing this story at a GP probably 12 years ago, and a Channel Fireball video shortly after that. “Top 8 Eternal Moments” if I remember correctly. So many great stories in that 20-minute video.

I alway let people combo because it's fun to see your deck go full nut

Nice vid

Was Tendrils not on his decklist? I feel like she should have caught it when making it. If not was he playing the entire tournament with an illegal deck?

Here in my city someone tried that with dragonstorm back in the day, he didn't had a single dragon in the deck. he went somewhat far but eventually someone caught him.

Fun video but damn dude you need to learn how to talk. Slow down and enunciate your mouth is too wet your voice sounds ridiculous.

The biggest bluff LSV ever made was saying "I do".

I believe his name is pronounced like Louise (like a more Spanish sounding pronunciation) ;)

I really like LSV but this should be an infraction, the whole world runs on incentives and this incentivizes players to waste a lot of time and energy going through the motions just to be sure the opponent isn't bluffing. It's not that this will cause players to run with an extra slot because that seems so inconsequential overall when the cost is so high but it will cause players to go through the motions to be sure their opponent didn't do something crazy. It's not such a big deal anymore with open decklists in higher level play but that's not always the case, I don't think LSV did anything wrong but it would be better if this were addressed, something like insinuating that the opponent should concede because it's deterministic ally over when you don't actually have it and they wouldn't have the information to check you on it. Pretty sure it's so niche and weird, like it was a mistake that caused this so maybe it never needs to be addressed and is just a fun story but the idea that this could happen to you is a bad thing for efficient organized events.

I like that LSV has had enough ridiculous bluffs in his career to make me wonder which one this was referring to before watching

I thought this was about the settle the wreckage in the finals of a standard pro tour, but in fact this one is better

If the prize was a Mox Jet, how did the top 4 split it?

I hate everything about this. This is why I don't play tournaments.

Pretty Sick

The Summoning Salt music!!!!!!

The best part about playing cards: BLUFF

Is it just me that noticed the Vsauce reference in the video

Using that music should be illegal

Did they not have decklists available for the top 8? Nowadays that's always open knowledge at big tourneys.

Nice Summoning Salt tunes. Lol. Great video!

170k views, 900 subs, 1 year old. This is the only time I can see a 0% subscribed viewer chart at the end of the video and believe it lmao. Good video though!

This is why I always play the game out to the end no matter what.

Outside the game should only mean “in exile.”

Greatest bluff by pro mtg players is playing a card they snuck up their sleave and claiming they drew it.

Did they not give the top 8 everyone’s deck list?

That deck should be called the Kobayashi Maru 😅😂

to be fair, saying "i now have storm count 15" is a good bluff

It's not like he didn't legit win. He just used a bluff to work around a technicality. If his burning wish was countered he'd still lose the game. As far as gameplay goes, he won fair and square.

Pat Chapin - Profane Command - all my legal targets gain fear - for the PT winning handshake 🤝

Big "Kiki-Chord doesn't play Kiki-Jiki" energy. I've won MTGO games on devoted druid combo by starting to make infinite mana without a win con in hand. You gotta make them show it to you.

That's incredible! Dude needs to start playing Poker!

Years ago, I made the top 8 in a big local tournament. I was playing burn and my opponent was playing Klark-clan Ironworks. Ironworks was a very new deck at the time and it was the first time I was playing against it. I took game 1 and my opponent took game 2. During game three, it appeared he got his combo just as I had him down to 1 life. He looks at me and says, "I got it. Wanna wait 15 for me to ping you down to zero?" I thought to myself, 'Why drag it out? If he's got, he's got it. May as well just concede." So, I shook his hand and conceded. As I was packing up, another player walked up to our table and asked my opponent to show the combo. After a bit of back-and-forth between the two, my opponent agreed. Turned out, his combo fizzled and he didn't actually 'have it'. But, since I conceded and packed up already, it was too late to go back. This is a classic example of why you should always wait to see if your opponent has the combo--especially if you're not certain with how the deck works. Not everyone in this game is honest and it's up to us honest players to keep the dishonest ones in check

the final four agreeing to share the prize pool is wild. Are the top magic players not competitive people, or was it life changing money for all 4?

Now all players have access to decklists, sadly.

what a gamer

yawgmoth's will was a game changer when it came out.. still one of the greatest cards of all time.. some say if there were a Power 10... yawgmoth's will

Always, always, always make your opponent play out their win. I can't count how many durdley control decks that try to annoy their opponents out of the game I've had to deal with that had NO other win condition. Even if they do have it, at the very least you get more information.

And here was me thinking it was the other greatest bluff of all time, also LSV's token shenanigans

The greatest Bluff was Tiago Chan vs Frank Karsten in a Kamigawa 2005 Limited Pro tour. Frank Karsten was going to win, but Tiago Chan feigned he had miscounted his life, luring Karsten into getting greedy and making activations to win on that turn. Chan trapped him. Had a protection spell and swung himself for lethal the next turn. This wasn’t a bluff. This wasn’t a double bluff. It was actually a triple bluff. He get in the head of one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

I just watched a video and swapped between every resolution from 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4k, there was no visible difference, My question is, is it TH-cam or is the Content Creator able to "game" the system and list videos that are not actually 4k, etc...? This video is sharper at 1080p than the other video at 4k, something is up.

Incredibly high quality of the video. Love it

Watch the follow up video for my unscripted commentary on this video and the previous one: th-cam.com/video/WLT4v1fl-2w/w-d-xo.html

great video
