My craziest legacy match of all times had a grand total of 0 turn played... in a Bo3 I was playing manaless dredge Won the toss Decides to go second My opponent concedes and boards 4 cards Game two he mulliganed to 3, gets a leyline of the void, I concede Game 3 he mulliganed to 0 and conceded To this day I still don't know what deck he was playing, and it was in paper magic
do note: I believe you missed a win on the first game vs painter, since you have memory journey, which means if they try to mill you out you can win with putting thoracle on top, and you have FoW back up
Also on the second game if I'm not mistaken, he could cast Spy, mill himself out, have four blockers to survive a turn against his opponent's three creatures and one card in hand, then in the upkeep exile the Lantern for green to return literally any card from his graveyard to the top of library (probably a Pact of Negation), then cast the Thassa's Oracle for the win with a Pact as backup.
The third game against painter could also have been won (as long as the opponent doesn't have more interaction) by pitching a non pact of negation card to force of will which would have allowed the pact to be used against the red elemental blast.
Feed the swarm could be Brazen Borrower to deal with leyline while also answering bauble and nullrod, while being blue for pitch casting and still being a stall against a creature; it seems like a better fit....it's also a 7 turn clock...so there's that.
Always nice to have a shorter video now and again. And a good performance in the league too, Phil. I wonder what other classic Magic archetypes would be called if they'd followed the "Oops, All Spells!" naming format? Death & Taxes - Oops, All Weenies! Shops - Oops, All Artifacts! The Epic Storm - Oops, 10 Storm Count! Up the Beanstalk - Oops, All 5+ Mana Value! Painter Grindstone - Oops, No Library!
This is just a note about Thassa's Oracle decks in general, but you can put an additional card in your library if you want to give you a backup land in case they Wasteland you if the extra turn can be afforded because Oracle has 2 pips innately, so even if you have 1 or 2 cards left in your library, you still win.
Then, any removal (Fatal Push, Swords, Bolt, ...) kills the trigger though. It's quite risky to do that unless you really know that the opponent has nothing.
It seems like you conceded too early in the last round against painter at 34:40 you could have milled yourself then chump blocked with narcomebas, then used memory's journey flashback so you don't die next turn and just hard cast the oracle.
I'm curious. At 31:00, couldn't you just let him mill you, then use Memory's journey to not die and put Thassa's Oracle on top of your library to cast it ?
In the last game, at 34:39, I don't think you need to resolve any of the things that run into Vexing Buable. I think you can just Spy, get some Narcomoebas or Zombie tokens from flashback spells (getting countered) to block for a turn, then on your next upkeep you Lantern + Memory's journey any card to the top, take your draw, and cast the Oracle from hand with an empty library?
*pre video comment* Hydroelectic Specimen is really kind of a cool card. Much more narrow than most protection spells obviously, but it’s a land and it’s cheap on the wallet. Can’t get much better than that.
>I play a Magic: the Gathering Online Legacy league with an Oops, All Spells Thassa's Oracle graveyard combo decklist. This deck seeks to mill itself with Balustrade Spy or Undercity Informer, and then description seems unfinished?
I think you missed a winning line at the end of R5G3. You cast Balustrade Spy with your four lands, pass the turn. Block the creatures with Narcomebas to stay alive. Stop on your upkeep, Memory's Journey any card into your library so you don't deck, and cast the Thoracle from hand.
Another question. At 33:08, is it possible to FoW the Balustrade Spy that is redundant to keep Pact for the combo turn ? It might have given you a better chance versus Pyroblast. Or do I not understand correctly how Painter works ?
I know I'm supposed to be excited about this deck and the positive record, but honestly, this kind of blows, content-wise. Like, watching this felt like a literal waste of my life. You either win or lose on turn one. Yay? You did it? or you didn't do it? Why play a deck like this? I'm just really confused. I know you get money from people to play decks, but honestly I'd rather watch you pilot something with more nuanced game play or just a straight up bad deck then watching 37 minutes of this.
The Oops mirror is peak magic, you know it's a good round when it's 3 turns in total.
Magic as Richard Garfield intented
Magic as Kazuki Takahashi intended
My craziest legacy match of all times had a grand total of 0 turn played... in a Bo3
I was playing manaless dredge
Won the toss
Decides to go second
My opponent concedes and boards 4 cards
Game two he mulliganed to 3, gets a leyline of the void, I concede
Game 3 he mulliganed to 0 and conceded
To this day I still don't know what deck he was playing, and it was in paper magic
I would love to see you revisit Manaless Dredge. You went 5-0 and the games were very fun to watch.
I've been wondering if Manaless Dredge is playable in a Vexing Bauble environment.

Round one was just ✨chef's kiss✨
A fun play you can make is to target them with the mill to deck them 😂
But if they have memory's journey, then they win instead
@@senken12 I know, that's why I said fun play, not good play
Feed the swarm could be Brazen Borrower to deal with leyline while also answering bauble and nullrod, while being blue for pitch casting and still being a stall against a creature; it seems like a better fit....it's also a 7 turn clock...so there's that.
Love that idea tbh
And can answer a grave lock piece like grafdiggers cage
“Hey guys Phil from the Future here, if you only have time for one round, round one is for you”

Death & Taxes - Oops, All Weenies!
Shops - Oops, All Artifacts!
The Epic Storm - Oops, 10 Storm Count!
Up the Beanstalk - Oops, All 5+ Mana Value!
Painter Grindstone - Oops, No Library!
Always a fan of Oops all spell/belcher decks

Oops was the deck that got me into Legacy first, back around Spy's release! Nice to see it evolving
It seems like you conceded too early in the last round against painter at 34:40 you could have milled yourself then chump blocked with narcomebas, then used memory's journey flashback so you don't die next turn and just hard cast the oracle.
Damn the 61 card special? Also you could play Into the Flood Maw over feed the swarm to answer both leyline of the void and vexing bauble.
I'm curious. At 31:00, couldn't you just let him mill you, then use Memory's journey to not die and put Thassa's Oracle on top of your library to cast it ?
yeah, he threw that game
Came here for the same reason
If the opponent plays correctly they could mil him out after he draws and then he has to put oracle on top then he’s milled again on their turn
@@Playingwithproxies nope
@@Playingwithproxies Ok, so he conceded assuming his opponent knew what to do. This is fair. Thanks for the reply !
That intro made me spit out my tea.
In the last game, at 34:39, I don't think you need to resolve any of the things that run into Vexing Buable.
I think you can just Spy, get some Narcomoebas or Zombie tokens from flashback spells (getting countered) to block for a turn, then on your next upkeep you Lantern + Memory's journey any card to the top, take your draw, and cast the Oracle from hand with an empty library?
I have never been prouder of myself than when I earned a cookie in todays intro

3 turn match. Sounds like Legacy to me, haha.
*pre video comment* Hydroelectic Specimen is really kind of a cool card. Much more narrow than most protection spells obviously, but it’s a land and it’s cheap on the wallet. Can’t get much better than that.

description seems unfinished?
Whoops, I'll look into that. Thank you!!!
it is an "ooops" deck afterall 😅
BTW, in the oops mirror, you probably could have targeted OP with the spy for style points.
I love the jack o lantern tech

Your "gotta name something when it doesn't matter" BM game is weak, Phil. Gotta hit em with Therapy for Zuo Ci, the Mocking Sage.
Triple pact of negation in round 2 is straight up disgusting 🤢 😂
Another question. At 33:08, is it possible to FoW the Balustrade Spy that is redundant to keep Pact for the combo turn ? It might have given you a better chance versus Pyroblast. Or do I not understand correctly how Painter works ?
33:08 Pitch your extra Balustrade Spy because it's blue too?
That art for Dark Ritual is blasphemy.
*heresy
Oooh - I'm getting a cookie! :D
I was confused by the grind stone couldnt u have put cards back to draw?
Found 1 occurrences of Psychic Frog in this video!
@00:24:03
Now I need to go bake some cokies
Oops games' speed resembles Arena grinding.
I know its craxy but u can use agadeems to bring back a win con
"Kurtesy of Kurt"
61 card special in a combo deck?
When the entire video is less time than a single match from a few days ago....
Ma vi divertite a scombarvi turno 1 a vicenda? Mi aiuti ad imparare a divertirmi così anche io?
I get a cookie!
20:26 Missed the opportunity to name "You are already dead" haha
Round 3; talks about faerie macabre. Doesn’t call faerie twice. Causes major issues game 2 and minor issues game 3.
Not really my cup of tea.
