In a future Cardmarket Feature Match, I'd like to see a rematch of the finalist decks in the first world championship. It would be fun to see those decks played, but by players that have a modern professional understanding of the game. Like Toffel vs Arne. Proxy time!
One small parallel that you missed out on mentioning, Celestial Collonade is actually Serra Angel on a land, which is fitting given the win con of the original Deck.
I really really appreciate these kinds of videos. Viewers can tell the difference between throwaway content and well researched/informative videos. This could become my favourite series from your channel next to all the fun paper play content. You're doing a great job guys
I've always played Azorius Control in every format. I live for that precise moment in which you go from losing to winning. You always start behind, and every game is uphill. I love Azorius Control.
I get so much heat playing UW control in edh! 🤣 Interesting to note: the players usually getting salty when other players do broken and spiky stuff get even more salty when they themselves can't use their broken effects as easily.
I’m disappointed to report that Azorius control is still alive and well in Pioneer. As a mono-red player, I keep a couple copies of Fry in my Sideboard to snipe Teferi before he becomes inevitable. I’d love to see a history of Tron, and what the different targets have been over the years.
It's also kicking around in Historic pretty effectively but that format is full to the brim with 20+ aggro decks which makes things difficult. Tbf it's kind of a Lotus Field cheese deck that just wins off turn 3 Teferi but it's there. Edit: if Stifle was legal in modern, there's a world where Azorius Lotus Field has a shot but in the Historic cardpool it's something else.
I loved how this vid opened with Ivan winning the pro tour with creatureless control. I watched basically every game in the top 8 he played and i bought the entire deck the next day. It's in my opinion the coolest showing of UW control I've seen and made me an azorius guy to this day. Super iconic
I love these looks back at the history of the game. I started playing in '96, when Mox were 100 a piece and lotus was 300. I can still picture the spikes at my school with their power 9 and legends cards in a big stack, being angry that I missed out on obtaining those cards
I don't think I've seen another MTG channel put out as much consistently high-quality content with such varied formats and topics. Keep doing history videos, on top of the goofy staple or stinker videos, the gameplay, news, and any other content you want! You guys are doing such an amazing job. Keep it up!
I will never forget the UW control in RTR/Theros. I started playing around this time and I thought the deck was unbeatable. I played in a local PTQ and one of the guys from our hometown brought UW control, and every time he lost a game I was completely flabbergasted. He ended up in top 8 but didn't secure the win, and I'll never forget that day :) Great video, I loved this.
Red/Green Monsters, Black Devotion, Blue Devotion, Blue/White Heroic, Green/White Aggro, Green Devotion and Blue/White Control - That format was peak MTG Blue white was objectively the best deck I think. Monsters and Black Devotion could beat it, but it was just the best deck against everything else. Hilariously, back then I managed to create the hardcounter for it: Maze's End. The only deck that Blue/White Control couldn't beat was tutoring for tap-lands that win you the game.
I turned my UW heroic deck into UW Control. I loved the power of Sphinx's Revelation and was addicted to watching SCG events with UW control in it. We played group games in college with standard decks before we got into edh and I remember drawing out my deck and shuffling it all back with elixir and 3 guys couldn't stop me from ultimate elspeth with bunch of tokens. The fact I got away with playing 2 Aetherling as my only creatures was hilarious to this day to me. Love UW Control
Great bit of history there. One note with the name of Weissman’s “The Deck”, Brian has said that when he started playtesting with a friend that they had a bunch of decks all named after themes. So they had “The Direct Damage Deck”, “The Weenie Deck, and “The Counterspell Deck”. Then they had one with 4x Library of Alexandria and 4x Mind Twist that was very good but they didn’t know what it’s theme was so it was called “The Deck”. Both Mind Twist and Library were later restricted, and eventually the 1x Amnesia replaced Mind Twist when the latter was banned in 1995.
this video is genuinely one of my favorites that you guys have ever produced, it's obvious that the amount of research and effort that went into this was huge. making sure to send this to my magic group chats so it gets some more views, really really great and I hope to see some more videos like this in the future. very excited at the prospect of agro control as you mentioned earlier, fairies is one of my all-time favorite decks and I still play dimir faeries in pauper. great job and looking forward to more like this
Please do more content like this! I'm a sucker for the history of Magic and learning about how the game has evolved over time. Also just want to say a solid job on all the content you guys are putting out!!
The interviews were a cool change and quality was at the rendez vous, you really are getting more and more a staple of mtg content for me, keep it up guys !
That's a nice history lesson on deck archetype!!! Really interesting to have this insight in the evolution of the game. I'd love to see more vids like this 👍
Man I really loved this video, being a control player and remembering how I started playing Magic as a UW control player really gave me nostalgia. Nowadays I mainly play UW control in Commander with my Yorion deck. Also I would love to see more of the rest of the archetypes like aggro and combo, this was an amazing video.
My friend used to play a UW winter orb relic barrier deck after legends was released until type 1 died out in about 1996. He used to win quite a lot. He used to play 70 cards because he didn’t know what to cut. Eventually he listened to me and added black duals for 1 demonic tutor. That made it even better.
This report needed Shawn "Hammer" Regnier's UW turbo millstone from the Ice Age Pro Tour. Howling Mines and Winter Orbs coupled with Icy Manipulators and the full suite of UW removal to run millstones to cap out the grind - imagine being afraid you were drawing too many cards and not being able to cast any of them? It ended up capitulating in the top 8 to a field brimming with Necropotence, but up until this point, it was the singular most unique deck besides Ernham-geddon.
i would love to see an in depth video on krark clan ironworks combo. such a convoluted and oppressive deck during its day. this format of video is something that i would be very open to watching again, i really enjoyed it.
This is a great series. I really like the interviews, they make the content more engaging. Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite MTG channel. I do want more live game play video especially non ban list decks.
@@CardmarketMagic I have given it some thought to this question. I am thinking a four color snowko list with yurion as the companion. Astrolab, oko, yurion, 4C omnath and all that other nonsense. I am not sure what deck it should pay against though.
Carl, I gotta say... i found the channel from the game you played with Magic the Noah, and i love the work you do. The effort you put into these videos helped reignite a love for magic i had back in elementary school! Much love from Montreal! Thanks for putting in the work you do, and i hope the channel is rewarded for it 😁
Loving these videos!! Not sure if there is one yet but one in when people started using sleeves/deck boxes and playmate would be cool just to see the history.
Hearing that the first pro tour win had Balance and Zuran Orb was a huge moment for me, 20 something years later and I pilot a Restore Balance modern deck that HAS ZURAN ORB KEKW
U/W control has always been my favorite deck, probably because when I stumbled upon my dad's old cards, it was the one deck he still had sleeved up, with Serra Angel, Control Magic, Counterspell and Swords to Plowshares, and when I finally grew into building my own decks, from the moment I saw Ivan Floch's U/W control, I fell in love with it. Azorius and Esper decks have always been my favorite, currently building a version of Floch's deck in Pioneer
YESSS. I adore these kinds of videos. History and stuff like this is my ideal drug. As someone who plays a lot of Dimir Control (Black/Blue), Azorius is a bit like my distant brother whom i am on good terms with so I felt extra excited for this.
Awesome! I would love to see a coverage of the Beatdown type. I don't know if that ever was considered an 'archetype'. I just had so much fun with a Temur aggro deck in 2000...
This was a very good change in general content, not that the current content isn’t good but it’s nice to see you all obviously care about trying other stuff.
Not exactly an azorius control player, but I am a huge fan of playing control decks, I mainly play esper/grixis color. The sight of your opponent slowly losing their will to play is always the best LOL. When you managed to answer most of the important threats, and then just play card advantage spell at the end of their turn, they already knew they will most likely lose at that point.
The first deck I sleeved up was UWR control in innistrad/RTR standard. Such a good time. I later shifted to UB control once Theros came out. Control is definitely what got me hooked on mtg.
Please make more of these! I loved this! Maybe you could do the history of burn, green stompy, death and taxes or maybe something that isn't even a deck like the history of planes walkers or the history of modern or something. I loved this so much, please make more !
the history of my peoples, I've had to move away from my dear control deck into hammer as control simply does not get there enough anymore, but I yearn for the day in which I can play it again without feeling like its a futile deck
I was a kid playing back in these days. I read Scrye mag, and picked up knowledge here there at my local gaming store. UW control was so good during these times!
Great video, I always love it when a video takes the time to go back into the history of Magic. The Deck still wins all the time at MTG 93/94 tournaments. Super though to play against and I always love to take on the challenge to try to beat it with my Timmy's Spellbook.
Oh, hell, please keep doing more of these. Incredible production quality combined with a high level of research and a host who obviously loves what he's doing? Biddebiddebiddebiddebiddebiddemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer ;) Personally, I'd love a deep dive into all things Dredge. because I know its good, but I don't get it^^
I always was a Doku kid, I consumed all the documentaries I could get my eyes on, and this tickles that exact itch. The editing is great, I love the atmosphere it creates. And this cut about 6:05 in was so good. Definitely give the editor(s) a big high-five and some Spezi for that one.
Thank you! :D unfortunately, it's not editors, it's just me (the guy in the video) making the whole thing. We'd been able to publish so much more of these if I had a team helping me 😅
This is my al time favorite video in this channel! I hope this becomes a series, maybe exploring history of mono red, or the rock, etc. One thing I've always wondered is if we know who though about adding star and sphere to tron. Such an intelligent and elegant piece of deck building...
I'm happy you like it! 😃 I've been working for months on another one about Red Deck Wins that will be coming out tomorrow. There's a lot of great stories in there :) I bought the cardigan in a tiny shop in Canada many years ago. I tried to find a link for you but I think it no longer seems to be sold :/
Congratulations for this content, very well made, and Carl is great! very enjoyable to watch, Carl has improved so much, again congratulations! and keep going with the good job!
I had possibly the world's biggest sneeze when you said that Azorius Control was the most skill intensive deck (generally), quite uncanny. I am a fan of Pox and Stax generally, but I am working on a vintage UW Stax/Hatebears deck, and I do like UW control in Commander, there are so many great cards that should be staples but people just don't see how to use them (I shudder to think of the day when people realize how much you can do with Advocates and a player who is neutral towards you, as long as they're not turning those free cards against you, you're getting insanely powerful abilities at unreal costs. I fiddle with Spurnmage Advocate in Thalia, it seems on flavor, and if you've also got an Archon of Emeria out then there are usually cards to give them back with a big smile (have fun using your 1 spell per turn on a Ponder, or using an Enters Tapped Fetch that also finds an always tapped OG Dual), meaning they can't feasibly swing, and Thalia's tax makes life a nightmare for plenty of decks. Mother of Runes can then let you swing in even if they have blockers, so you win eventually after crippling their board (Energy Flux usually makes an appearance, another card people don't love seeing in Vintage, where almost every deck is an artifact deck to some extent, most decks have at least six artifacts, if not more than eight).
my round 1 opp in PTQ1(no phone-in) was playing Millstone, was one of my only losses in the Swiss. He probably got Loconto's list and fixed it. I was playing Pox. so many Canadians in the 1996 PT season

@@jarrettaj oh you have a hell of a surprise coming up with our next guests! :D
Having a hand full of lands and a single counter spell then discarding that counter spell is a next level mind game.
I desperately hope that it's a true story because that's the sickest bluff of all time
I can't tell you how many times at a table that I've done this with stuff like Aetherize, Counterspells, cyclonic rifts, etc.
One small parallel that you missed out on mentioning, Celestial Collonade is actually Serra Angel on a land, which is fitting given the win con of the original Deck.

I think cardmarket isnt doing any throwaway easy content. They rrallt put out quality stuff imo
same here. this is so sick
yes yes yes
This guy said it well. Agree.
I've always played Azorius Control in every format. I live for that precise moment in which you go from losing to winning. You always start behind, and every game is uphill. I love Azorius Control.
The best feeling ever is when turn the corner and you go from completely out of control to completely control of every aspect of the game.
I get so much heat playing UW control in edh! 🤣
Interesting to note: the players usually getting salty when other players do broken and spiky stuff get even more salty when they themselves can't use their broken effects as easily.
Exactly why I play azorius control in all formats. 😎
@@oelboy Ephara, God of the fun police😍
This is maybe the best paraphrase of AZ Control I've heard so far
I’m disappointed to report that Azorius control is still alive and well in Pioneer. As a mono-red player, I keep a couple copies of Fry in my Sideboard to snipe Teferi before he becomes inevitable.

As a Dimir control player, I too am disappointed. I keep an Eradicator Valkrie in the sideboard, for the day I face my natural enemy.
Eh I play azorious control and mine doesn't even use lotus field no i cheese out with binding
happy to report that i dont intend to stop playing UW control (in that case it means, i dont intend to tap out)
Ah the genius plays of mono-red

That is a time so many players got into (or back into) the game! It's peak nostalgia for my play group
Hey that's when I got into the game too! I was smitten with the UW and UR control decks
Red/Green Monsters, Black Devotion, Blue Devotion, Blue/White Heroic, Green/White Aggro, Green Devotion and Blue/White Control - That format was peak MTG
Blue white was objectively the best deck I think. Monsters and Black Devotion could beat it, but it was just the best deck against everything else.

I am a fan of Pox and Stax generally, but I am working on a vintage UW Stax/Hatebears deck, and I do like UW control in Commander, there are so many great cards that should be staples but people just don't see how to use them (I shudder to think of the day when people realize how much you can do with Advocates and a player who is neutral towards you, as long as they're not turning those free cards against you, you're getting insanely powerful abilities at unreal costs. I fiddle with Spurnmage Advocate in Thalia, it seems on flavor, and if you've also got an Archon of Emeria out then there are usually cards to give them back with a big smile (have fun using your 1 spell per turn on a Ponder, or using an Enters Tapped Fetch that also finds an always tapped OG Dual), meaning they can't feasibly swing, and Thalia's tax makes life a nightmare for plenty of decks. Mother of Runes can then let you swing in even if they have blockers, so you win eventually after crippling their board (Energy Flux usually makes an appearance, another card people don't love seeing in Vintage, where almost every deck is an artifact deck to some extent, most decks have at least six artifacts, if not more than eight).
That
"At the time" cut was sexy
my round 1 opp in PTQ1(no phone-in) was playing Millstone, was one of my only losses in the Swiss. He probably got Loconto's list and fixed it. I was playing Pox.
so many Canadians in the 1996 PT season
Thank you for researching and sharing this! I've learned so much about the game from playing this archetype (after red deck wins!)
There is nothing quite like the dread in your opposite’s eyes when you turn the corner. Stabilizing at 1 is just chefs kiss.
