That are just 6 😂
Missed all the lands!
Did you actually get all those copies of the cards, or are they proxies?
I like to imagine the three of them bursting into the CardMarket offices shouting “We need all the Ragavans! Chancellors of the Dross! Has anyone heard of Surging Flame and how many copies do we have?”
@@ConManAUYes! Ok! Here you go, have 20 Ragavans!... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU NEED MORE THAN TWENTY!?!?
"Dumb" videos like this are what puts your channel above the rest! You guys know how to have fun!
That's very kind of you to say :)
This channel is hot ass.
Agreed. I love how you use Magic cards in such creative ways. Already became a fan of Judge tower, which I found out about thanks to one of your earlier videos.
I would actually love to see more of this format. It’s like the real “singleton” format
Me too. I've been thinking about this format for a while now. I like to call it Shadowborn.
The format is basically a rock paper scissors, chancellor wins cat, cat wins solitude, solitude wins chancellor
Singleton vs Single TON
@@pinipilla island sanctuary beats both cat and solitude
@@colgatelampinen2501 I needed a moment to get how you win with only Island Sanctuary, but that's great. :D
cant lie you casting Lighting Bolt at sorcery speed hurt me emotionally. neat video idea!
In rare cases, it makes sense to cast instant speed removals at sorcery speed. Of course not in this situation, but when you play against control decks, it's better to cast them on your turn if the opponent is tapped out, rather than wait for the end of their next turn hoping they tap out again.
@@RokaiMusic But what's the point in not casting them on sorcery? It's not like you can hide any information, nor your opponent can surprise you with anything
@@darrkhunter96 first of all I'm pretty sure the other commenter was talking about a real game of magic and not this joke format, but you seem to be talking about it for this format and casting the bolt at sorcery speed literally lost Carl that game on the following turn...
If he just waited until Thoralf's combat phase to bolt the monkey Thoralf would never have been able to get an attack in.
not every instant needs to be played on an opponent's end step
@@darrkhunter96I mean, bolting ragavans could stall for the land he needed, doing it on the attack declaration means no damage and no trigger. I think at instant speed, bolting rag wins the bolt deck the game.
Charmed Stray vs Ragavan is one of the funniest games I've ever watched, truly incredible scenes
Another fun one I found was Squadron Hawk. You can just caw at them all day.
Looks like another 3-deck rock-paper-scissors loop in the format. Chancellors loses to solitude, which loses to surging flame, which loses to chancellors.
yea but its fun :)
Surging Flame would beat Chancellors if it was allowed Simian Spirit Guides instead of Mountains, but that kinda breaks the "one card" rule
Defeat Surging Flame by playing 60 copies of Leyline of Sanctity and mulligan to 1. Win by decking your opponent 😂
@@neni135 which also dies to solitude, another loop!
@@NStripleseven im pretty sure it beats solitude
just wait until ragavan is declared as an attacker and bolt him.
that way he never hits you.
then eventually you hit a second Land.
that's what I thought.
Eh if you do the math, if ur using every bolt on removing a ragavan, it only takes one lopsided draw for a ragavan to get through when you don't have a bolt and a bolt to get stolen out of your deck. You would need to draw just as many lightning bolts as the opponent does ragavans
@@TheBBbandit the mistake was keeping a one land hand
@@TheBBbandit they're saying to buy time until you draw the second land either you draw another bolt and stay where you are or draw a land and go back to bolting face
@@Meejor100 even if u had two lands to unlock 6 damage to face or bolt a ragavan and do 3, you will still run out of bolts before you do lethal and then die to ragavan
@@jonathandiaz2365 but you have a finite card advantage that you will go through by using more than one bolt per turn
The only thing that would make this video better would be if it looped back at the end with counter to the Surging Flame and then an all Ragavan deck again.
The counter to Surging Flame is Chancellor of the Dross, so then it just becomes rock-paper-scissors
This video could have been an infinite loop 😅
there's no other mtg channell that provides this much variety of content, you guys do a great job
That's so kind of you to say :) thank you
This is the best thumbnail I’ve ever seen on a magic video
It’s spectacular
Thank you! :D it took me forever to make, I'm happy you like it
I was expecting them to be wearing that throwing cards at each other lol.
@@CardmarketMagic A bit inspired by "Revel in riches", IMO. 👍
They have definitely done some good thumbnails...
This is the only MtG channel where I get the feeling that the people in the videos are actually friends and not just co-creators. That’s the best part of it all.
Not necessarily the only one. Nitpicking Nerds had chemistry and they literally live together for example. But these guys look like they are genuinely having a shitload of fun. A bunch of friends doing silly crap together.
Qftjl
Simultaneously a profoundly dumb and extremely entertaining format! Awesome video!
Reminds me, a little bit, of 3-Card Blind Magic. Mostly because it's also a format where you know who is going to win based on what their deck is and it often comes down to cards being used in weird or multiple ways. Might be worth checking out in the future!
Yeah, it sounds similar. Playing it in a way that's fun probably works out the same way
Sorcery speed lightning bolts hurt my soul, but the video was overall hilarious
Thought this was going to be rubbish, but I actually really enjoyed that! You guys are great!
Hahaha thank you! Glad to know we delivered in the end 😅
I love the little moments where they’re sitting in the chairs and pitching their decks to each other it’s so funny
This video is super entertaining! The back and forth, the suspense, the editing! The most fun I've had watching MtG content since Maldhound
That's such high praise :D thank you!
This feels like a conversation you’d have with some friends but they actually fully played out all the games. Love it!
I like that you featured the Merfolk King himself, Nikachu!
Also, it was fun to see the game devolve into making a counter for each other’s deck! 😆
The most fun is actually they are teasing each other. The chemistry between the guys is just great. It's just a lot of fun to watch.
Goofy games are fun to play anyway
That's actually a really cool idea to do sometimes!
Honestly one of my favorite magic videos out there!
One of the most creative videos I've seen in ages, and very funny!
The narrative escalation was brilliant, and from charmed stray onwards it was just hilarious
The crowns and sunglasses were such nice touches lmao
I rarely get to laugh that hard. What a great video, with an even better conclusion.
Hearthstone does something similar from time to time. The meta eventually evolves into a very interesting game of Rock-Paper-Scissors!
Cool idea and absolutely hilarious video. Carl has some legit comedian skills, I almost died laughing at his excitement in the last match
This is a genuinely interesting format. More of this, please.
There is a hearthstone tavern brawl like this that comes around every so often. This would be just as awesome if you picked a different number of nonlands. Like 2 or 3 or 4 cards as many as you want. Loved this!
This video was directly inspired by that hearthstone format :)
I think this is my favourite video on this channel so far, great premise great execution
Thank you :)
What a rollercoaster video, I really thought this was just gonna be a short best of three 40 bolts vs 40 Ragavans. It was so much more 😂 Fantastic editing.
Marvelous episode!
Really shows that you can build so many niche decks which are really great at exactly performing a single trick excellently.
I love how this video immediately descends into complete degeneracy
Man you guys come up with such fun ideas, always love when your videos pop into my feed.
This was so much fun. Best video you guys have put out so far!
I watch a lot of Magic the Gathering content and I can honestly say, this is one of my favorite videos of all time!! Absolutely hilarious! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Honestly would be interested in going up in numbers. 2, 3, 4 or even 5 cards to make up your entire deck. Hearthstone did this for tavern brawls and at least on day 1 it was pretty interesting to see what people came up with.
You guys have been knocking it out of the park recently with these interesting vids!
Thank you :D that's so kind of you to say
An unexpectedly fascinating video! And a lot of fun!
I don’t know what I was expecting but this was way better than anything I could’ve imagined 😂😂😂
Thanks for yet another great video yall!!
Same. You put it very well.
Never knew how much I needed this type of content... good job!
Thank you! :)
That is Like the coolest Idea ever. We need more of this Content!
you make one of the best mtg content out there!
from competitive to absolut redicules stuff you mastered it all.
thanks fro bringing me joy!
Thank you! :D that's such high praise! We'll make sure to deliver for you :)
These are so much fun! I would love to see this some more
Wow, I wasn't sure what I was getting into going into the video but that was fantastic. CardMarket just does not miss on the content!
Thank you :) happy to hear that we managed to deliver
this is fun. and i'm a fan of the belief that it's roughly even between all the decks.
there are so many counterdecks and counterplays and counterstrategies. this is a fun format to play, honestly, and i want to see more of this format being played.
This is some of the best content. You all are my fav people on TH-cam hahahahaha
That's so kind of you to say:D
This was fun to watch. I want to see more!
This was pure joy. Thank you!
That was a really creative and fun video! You guys always come up with such killer ideas and then execute them masterfully.
That's so kind of you to say :D thank you!
I would love to see more of this!!!
Amazing video! Thank you guys! :)
Your best video yet!! I enjoyed it immensely :)
This was a very fun video! Love the single gimmick decks. I wanna build all of them. Except maybe Ragavan.
I was honestly having a bad day but this video genuinely brought a smile to my face. You guys are awesome keep up the great work. ❤
Thank you! That's so kind of you to say :) I hope your upcoming days get much better!
Hold on. I bet they beat Chancellor with Solitude exiling itself right.
yeah
" exile up to one other target creature" it says other, so unfortunately not.
@@Gusishhplay a solitude and in response to its evoke trigger play another solitude up to three total
They need to exile another solitude
Amazing content guys ❤🎉😂
Would love more of this!
The amount of fun it looked like everyone was having with such a silly idea it why I love Magic! I can't wait to see the next ridiculous idea.
This video coming out after MTGgoldfish (brewer's kitchen) playing only ragavan in brawl is funny
Now I'm actually curious how far this game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard. Dynamite..." could go, with one deck only beating one other deck, and only losing to 1 deck.
That was a ton of fun to watch! Great video guys
Thank you! :D
This was such a fun episode! loved it
This was a lot of fun to watch 😂
I love the energy of this channel so much
Oh my god the cut to him with a crown and sunglasses, and the reaction "you seem very confident" lmao
I loved Nikachu's video glad you expanded on the idea
I loved when Nikachu did this, and I love that you took it a step further and in paper no less! Would happily watch more of these matchups, maybe see if you can do the same with two-card decks too (Thoracle+Treasure Hunt versus Helm+Leyline?).
I would happily watch you playing something ridiculous like Paper Alchemy with a bunch of proxies and some of the most awkward gameplay possible as you have to count how many turns have passed in the game and find a way to “perpetually” modify cards.
"Does a deck with only Lightning Bolts in it beat a deck with only Ragavan?"
Well, since neither deck can cast anything due to having no lands, the player who goes second decks out first.
My thought was Chancellor, and then when you guys came back I was shocked! I thiught of solitude but not the Spike, well done!
This channel is quickly becoming the best MTG channel. You have great ideas, always feels like everyone is having fun, guests are great, so much different content, you have something for everyone, editing is fantastic too! Please keep up the good work, you all are amazing and it’s such a pleasure to watch every new video :)
That's such high praise! :D thank you! We'll make sure to keep up the quality for you!
Another brilliant video. Everything is so masterfully done. You guys are great. The idea is genius. The mindblowing and hillarious execution truly exeeded anyone's expectation. The crown, coat and sunglasses are such a nice touch. I watched it twice in a row, showed it to my flatmate for a third watch and still feel the need to show it to everyone else. The dramatic escalation is just splendid.
This is such incredibly high praise 😃 thank you so much!
I’ve watched this whole video 3 times and it’s still a work of art
Thank you :D
These are fun. Chaos was solid for sure!
This is so amazing! I could not stop laughing. So great! keep up the great work guys. I always look forward to your videos.
Thank you :) I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! We'll make sure the next ones are bangers!
watching the meta develop as the video went on was fascinating and hilarious!
Why is there no possibility to double like a video? Hard day and still satisfied. Thanks so much, guys! ❤
this is just pure chaos and I'm all here for it xD
I like that this video wasn't just Ragavan v Lightning Bolt. Moving into other degenerate single card decks without giving everything away early made this an enjoyable watch
Guys. This video was so much fun. Thank you! 👏👏👏
🥳 No thank you! For watching it and giving us your feedback :)
This was a very interesting concept
That’s a lot of money I just saw get crushed by a few stray cats.
This video was fantastic, not nearly enough MTG content out there of people just having fun, messing around, being silly!
This was such a fun video. Love you guys
Love the premise, more please!
Cackling at home right now, thank you for this gem
This is the single greatest piece of magic content ever created
Great video! Loads of fun!!
Thank you! :)
it's so cool that even something like this can have an evolving metagame
Loved this video, amazing idea
Love this video! Give us more!
blessed vibes, y’all are so fun! :D
This was very entertaining!
The thumbnail is pure gold! 🤘 Very entertaining video guys 👍
Thank you! :D
This is the best TH-cam has to offer, you lot are amazing! I'm serious.
That's really kind of you to say :D we try our best! Thank you for your kind words
I thought the ending was going to be cheeky with a large Hexproof or Shroud creature, but this is even funnier
I loved it, what a twist on the ole 'bolt.dek', suffer monkey suffer.
It was a pleasure meeting you in Athens Tharalf! Just as much of a nice guy in real life as in these videos! 😎
Really funny and creative video!!! Keep it up 🎉🎉🎉
This channel has really creative players. This is the kind of content I am subbed for.
Happy to make the sub worth it for you :)
The most brilliant part of this is how much fun you're having.
this did NOT go the way I thought, haha... LOVE IT! (10/10 Thumbnail too!)
Thank you! :)
