Thanks a lot for choosing my deck (if im correct, my first name is Thorben and i send in Mono black Zombies). Was great watching the games. Really enjoyed it and well we are talking about beating Mengucci on a cardmarket video, that doesnt happen too often :)
Thank you for submitting it! Your deck was a blast and the game was so close! The money should already be on your account :) but if not, it will be there shortly (the person responsible was told to wait till after the video as not to spoil the ending for you)
Cool decklist and I was so rooting for your deck to win! ;-) Why wasn't the infernal grasp in the maindeck though, since you were allowed to bring a decklist speciffically build against Murktide!?
I believe in Game 3 in response to the bounce side of brazen borrow you are supposed to also sacrifice the undead augur. You'll be at the same total cards in hand, but you will effectively remove brazen borrower from andrea. The carrion would also then be out of bolt range thus requiring an unholy heat or EE. Your next couple turns would've looked similar in play even if andrea had the heat for carrion, EXCEPT andrea wouldn't have the borrower in play to threaten life total or eventually crew the hearse.
He made like 30 mistakes between the games. From rushing out crawlers and therfore losing them. Not starting with grasps in main deck(a choice I assume) rushing 2 augurs. Not sac looping early. And overall trying to win wide instead of tall vs a bolt deck.
Also got very confused how Andrea thought he could tap Unlicenced hearse as he used it as a attack to give more counters. Gotta watch them peeps even if they pros.
@@eon2330i don't think it was a choice not to start with grasps in the main deck, they always just play with exactly the decklist that was sent in, so if the decklist has grasps in the side board the they are in the side board
As someone new to magic, I definitely appreciate the fact that you guys explain the rules on every card when you cast it for the first time, very helpful ❤❤
how? he's 1) a cheater. it's hard to find info on it now but he was banned for several years for cheating 2) one of the smuggest people I've ever seen.
@@MrPiotrV what event are you talking about? His suspension (13 years ago I believe) was because he drew an extra card, skipped his next draw but didn't call a judge at any point and received an 18months ban. (Extra draw is a grv but trying to cover it up/not declare it is considered cheating, hence the ban) Besides that, I don't believe he's ever been suspended. He got a DQ for a draft for inputting the wrong card in Arena (which he also reported but it didn't matter). So really curious about why you'd call him a cheater. Mistakes happens, even at worlds.
@@RLKC8 lol, I'll let you in on a secret: smug people aren't smug because they're skilled, they're just smug. he's smug in all areas of his life. besides, does being skilled justify being a smug pos? i don't think so.
@@NeverLuckyOP people don't get 18 months bans for honest mistakes. a lot of investigation goes into those bans. besides, that doesn't change the fact that he is unbearably smug, and that is overwhelmingly evident in his videos.
loved this episode! super easy to follow and great job describing the cards/actions at a good pace with good visuals! i dont know the guest but he knew his stuff and i love seeing collabs with other creators
Not sacrificing the Undead Augur in response to the Brazen Borrower in game 3 seems like a huge mistake. Sacrificing the Gravecrawlers and then the Augur fizzles Borrower, denying Mengu the ability to turn the corner and get aggressive, draws an additional card, and gets the Carrion Feeder out of Bolt range (forcing either a 2-for-1 or low impact EE crack). With two Augurs in hand, there's no real reason to hang onto a third one. Maybe wouldn't change the outcome, but it seems like a missed opportunity. Edit: Absolutely turns that game from a loss to a win, that Borrower went coast-to-coast. Fizzle Adventures whenever you can, it's an often overlooked part of their design - the creature only goes on the adventure if the spell resolves.
Very fun video. I particularly enjoyed that this one was a cheaper non-meta archetype rather than a cheap variant of a meta archetype like these videos have been previously.
im no pro player so idk if it wouldve been a good move, but at 29:28 i wouldve sacced the augur in response to the bounce. especially seeing 2 more in hand after the first draw it feels better imo to get the feeder outta bolt range and have a threat that asks to go 1 for 1 with explosives. plus, its the same number of cards in hand whether its sacced or bounced so its not like youre down a card that way
That would have also fizzled the Brazen Borrower so Andrea couldn't cast it later. The borrower ended up being huge for him winning the game. In retrospect I agree saccing there is definitely the right move, but of course not obvious in the moment
That really was great content! Gives all the creative minds a reason to brew some really cool budget decks. (I'd like to count myself to these brewers but somehow I doubt that). Please more of this stuff! It's always exciting to see tier 1 decks getting challenged by outsiders. Thanks for your work!
This is by far the best Magic channel. Amazing production quality and friendly gamers. Just really positive games where it seems like everyone is having fun.
@@CardmarketMagic Nice! I know that the novelty of some of the unique challenges is fun, but as somebody who finds MTGO vids pretty tedious to watch, it's also nice just watching good players jam meta decks in paper. Looking forward to that video either way
Game 3 I believe zombies should’ve had it at 37:02 because you have 7 mana, thran vigil, carrion feeder, then gravecrawler. Sac grave crawler and play it from your graveyard 3 times and put 3 counters and the putrid goblin and attack for exactly 5!
One of the things that I love about Magic is that a budget deck -- $100, $50, heck even $25 (though that takes more luck) -- can legitimately threaten a win against a much more expensive and meta deck. Sure, sure, more expensive decks usually have better consistency, more margin for error, and can deal with more matchups. They definitely have the advantage! But with a misstep or a bad draw in the right circumstances and, all of a sudden, your deck that you had to take a mortgage out for is dying to 15¢ draft chaff.
This is specifically why we love making this kind of video! And the zombie deck was facing one of the best murktide players in the world! It could have possibly won against an average player playing the same deck
Cardmarket is probably my favorite MTG channel on TH-cam, MAYBE second to Commander At Home, but suffice it to say that if I'm ever ordering some singles, I'm doing it from y'all. Keep up the excellent work, and I hope your channel continues to prosper.
Honestly I've been playing a lot more Go For the Throat than Infernal Grasp in specifically standard and pioneer and I've noticed very little change in the hits. I know there are more artifact creatures in modern because of Hammertime but it might be worth flipping those two
Really liked the video and both decks - it's my first time seeing Mengu's deck, and, as a beginner Izzet player, I'm really impressed! Have a little question about a particular card choice for the mono black deck - why Infernal Grasp and not Go for the Throat? It's both cheaper to buy (if I'm not mistaken) and doesn't have a life point cost. Sure, it can't hit artifact creatures and that might be a problem in other matchups, but Mengu's deck doesn't run any
At 30:30, even without the knowledge of the opponents hand, isn’t it better to also sacrifice the undead augur? It draws of itself, had more undead augur copies in hand an would get the carrion feeder to 4 toughness and out of lightning bolt range, a point that was earlier mentioned in game 1 or 2. Would also have fizzled the petty theft disallowing the brazen borrower to be on an adventure -> card advantage Would love to hear your thoughts on it, besides that. Awesome content as always, much appreciated!
This decklist splashing white and playing Wayward Servant is a lot stronger, so if you're impressed by this very nice showing, you can try a less budget version, it is surprisingly competetive.
you guys probably won't see this, but there's a minor editing error at around 3:00 where it shows that Andrea Mengucci had a spell pierce, but he actually had a spell snare. anyways, great video :)
20:57 Maybe I’m not seeing the effects right, but if Jamin sacrificed the carrion crawler first and brought it back, he would have done additional damage? -2 for no crawler, but +2 for the sac ability +1 for Champion’s ability?
That's true if I immediately sacrificed it, however I didn't want to overcommit onto the Feeder as long as it still was in Lightning Bolt range, so I wanted to keep it on the board as a seperate attacker -Jamin
I'd love the see some Atarka Gruul in Pioneer. It's capable of 'fairly' playing a 20/20 trample dinosaur on turn 2. That's fun. It would be cool to see you fellas give it a spin.
Would love to see a video of you guys doing a cube draft of community submitted cards. You could even tailor it to certain themes. - "Submit Alara /Ravnica/Theros/Homelands/Alpha/Unset cards" So you can get keywords focused on certain themes. Or doing Jumpstart of community packs. Get people to submit a 20card theme pack and mix and match them for some quick games.
That is one sweet Zombies deck! I undervalued the enchantment in the deck. The Gravecrawler + Putrid Goblin combo with it are really good! I do wonder if life loss is enough of an issue to be playing another 1B removal spell over Infernal Grasp though.
When I am sitting on an empty hand and draw a land, I usually dont even play it. I keep it inmy hand as a "mysterious threat", often look at it intently as if it's a powerful instant.
Cardmarket, please find a way to make these videos more frequent! I don't know of any other channels that have paper gameplay of 60-card formats with actually good editing and charismatic players. More more more!
We've tried really hard and we are currently hiring, but so far I haven't found anyone else who is able to make them, and these already take most of my time 😅 but as soon as we hire another editor who can make them we'll be trying to do more :) - Carl
@@CardmarketMagic That would be great! Definitely my favorite Magic gameplay channel. Would love to see more meta decks as well as the wacky challenges. The Megnu v Karsten Pioneer match was awesome!
Zombies missed lethal the last game, play thran vigil into carrion feeder into a grave crawler, then use last three mana to sacrifice and bring back gravecrawler three times putting three counters on the putrid goblin and swing for 5
Some nice roque decks can go a long way, given this was like 1K vs 100 Euro, this was extremely close, sadly felt like we have seen the same 5 cards in the zombie decks again and again, would have loved to see the combos working a bit better, headless rider creating a huge board or just adding those +1/+1 counters with the putrid goblin and the thran vigil...really fun deck, especially for the budget
Here 👋 or you can also write me at shows@cardmarket.com But I will be on vacation for almost 2 weeks, so you'll have to wait till I'm back for an answer :)
If Jamin played the following sequence on the last turn, Andrea would go to 2 Play Thran Play Gravecrawler Play Carrion feeder Sac Crawler to feeder Andrea can respond to the Feeder's trigger to exile Crawler and Grasp, which triggers Sigil and put 1 +1/+1 on Putrid Goblin. However if Andrea misses the opportunity to respond, you chain the Crawler loop until Putrid gets to be a 5/5 and kills on the spot.
I remember that list when Seth from mtggoldfish first featured it a few months ago, I was really interested with the possibility of playing it and try my hand at modern with it
14:21 wasn’t it better to loop gravecrawler 4 times instead of playing plague belcher? That would have meant 4 counters, 4 zombies and force some more blocks. Still not enough but I feel it would have been a better play.
A cool line that I saw that I don't think was worth it towards the end was evoking Fury and crewing Unlicensed Hearse with the sacrifice on the stack. Being able to kill the opponent's creatures and getting another 4 power would be super nice, but alas Putrid Goblin is rude :(
was fun to watch. Still i miss the pauper content on regular base you promised at some point. Pauper content is still so rare these days :( push the format of the people!
The next feature match is pauper :) we are still doing pauper as one of the most common feature match formats. These videos simply take wayyyy longer than the other shorter videos to make so they come out less often
First game, if Jamin had sacrificed the gravecrawler at 15:43 before the headless rider died, I think he would have survived Andrea's next turn. Oh wait, forgot they all had flying. Last game if that Duress or Infernal Grasp had been a Diabolic Intent to search for a Fatal Push he'd have won.
This is probably my favorite Magic channel since Pretty Deece and Thoralf is creeping up to Patrick Chapin in terms of my favorite pro Magic personalities. As an American, I’m sure I’m not someone eligible to submit a deck but I love seeing the rogue brews people come up with.
@@CardmarketMagic The reason I enjoy this channel so much, is the range of content. Your card reviews, game showmatches, how can you win this turn, judge's tower. New vidoes are refreshing
Seasoned Pyromancer says "discard two cards", I'm not sure it should work as if it said "up to two cards". Anyone can explain? Maybe it's simply badly written?
This is just the list submitted by our user :) they did not claim to have made it themselves. But we are having MTG Goldfish over in a little over a month to record some similar videos :D
This was a great matchup, I’m in the process of building a izzet murkTide deck it’s my first modern deck I can’t wait to get the rest of the cards and start playing more 1v1 btw the ragavan reprint helped a lot lol
Couldn't Andrea have evoked fury in the last game and with it, in response to it dying, use it to crew the hearse and attack for lethal? or am I missing something?
The zombie got countered yet you still lost 1 life? I'm used to playing differently, to where the whole spell gets countered including the loss of life. Have I been playing wrong or has there been another rule change?
Unfortunately, I Download all the songs from our Artlist account anI rename all the songs to things like "Funky trumpets long buildup late drop", so I cannot go back and find the names of the actual songs
Oh god. Have been playing no ban historic on Arena the last few days, and Andrea's deck is definetly one of the meta ones in that event. And like the other meta ones, it's also very annoying to play against for an aggro/beatdown player like me 😅
@@CardmarketMagic Yeah, the 100€ challenge is very nice. I'm fairly new to YGO so I'm not sure if it translates well to that game, but if it does it is a very cool concept for videos.

If Jamin played the following sequence on the last turn, Andrea would go to 2
Play Thran
Play Gravecrawler
Play Carrion feeder
Sac Crawler to feeder
Andrea can respond to the Feeder's trigger to exile Crawler and Grasp, which triggers Sigil and put 1 +1/+1 on Putrid Goblin.
However if Andrea misses the opportunity to respond, you chain the Crawler loop until Putrid gets to be a 5/5 and kills on the spot.
Yes, saw that one too. Andrea was also tapped out, so that should have been a win for the Zombies.

No temptation to sack the augur to the feeder so that the brazen borrower fizzles?
I don’t play magic or yugioh but… I love this channel and I have no explanation. Thanks for the content.
this mono black zombie deck looks perfect for after-work-kitchen-table-modern, we will try it out (:
Hey, great video! Is this a deck that I could consider as a first deck? Something I can walk into a local game with? Thanks!
A cool line that I saw that I don't think was worth it towards the end was evoking Fury and crewing Unlicensed Hearse with the sacrifice on the stack. Being able to kill the opponent's creatures and getting another 4 power would be super nice, but alas Putrid Goblin is rude :(
Gotta say, I love the amount of dice in this video
26:20 zombies actually WON!
GG! ZOMBIES FTW.
even if its a cheap deck compared to the other one
amazing
This match was crazy, i was at the edge of my seat, great content guys
Thank you! :)
was fun to watch. Still i miss the pauper content on regular base you promised at some point. Pauper content is still so rare these days :( push the format of the people!
The next feature match is pauper :) we are still doing pauper as one of the most common feature match formats. These videos simply take wayyyy longer than the other shorter videos to make so they come out less often
Great idea to compete viewer decks against Mengu
Wait why didnt they go with the Thran Vigil, Goblin, and Carriorn feeder combo 2nd to last turn?
First game, if Jamin had sacrificed the gravecrawler at 15:43 before the headless rider died, I think he would have survived Andrea's next turn. Oh wait, forgot they all had flying. Last game if that Duress or Infernal Grasp had been a Diabolic Intent to search for a Fatal Push he'd have won.
Awesome stuff!! Have a great rest of you day!
You as well! :)
This is probably my favorite Magic channel since Pretty Deece and Thoralf is creeping up to Patrick Chapin in terms of my favorite pro Magic personalities. As an American, I’m sure I’m not someone eligible to submit a deck but I love seeing the rogue brews people come up with.
Best MTG channel, love the videos. Thank you.
No thank you for watching! We work so hard on these it's wonderful to have an audience :)
@@CardmarketMagic The reason I enjoy this channel so much, is the range of content. Your card reviews, game showmatches, how can you win this turn, judge's tower. New vidoes are refreshing
Seasoned Pyromancer says "discard two cards", I'm not sure it should work as if it said "up to two cards". Anyone can explain? Maybe it's simply badly written?
Wasn't this one of the budget modern decks Seth made on mtggoldfish? Is this a sneaky Cardmarket vs Mtggoldfish duel?
This is just the list submitted by our user :) they did not claim to have made it themselves. But we are having MTG Goldfish over in a little over a month to record some similar videos :D
Orzov zombies is fun too, gives you life gain with wayward servant and hand disruption with tidehollow sculler
Great video, i need more budget decks
Nice Zombie Deck!
instead of fatal push maybe try it with bone shards. Sacrifice Gravecrawler and all the the other effects triggers
This was a great matchup, I’m in the process of building a izzet murkTide deck it’s my first modern deck I can’t wait to get the rest of the cards and start playing more 1v1 btw the ragavan reprint helped a lot lol
So happy every time you have Andrea Mengucci on!
11:04 did he not pay for his murktide all the way?
Couldn't Andrea have evoked fury in the last game and with it, in response to it dying, use it to crew the hearse and attack for lethal? or am I missing something?
Can I get your opinion on how Game 1 would have turned out if you recasted Gravecrawler 4 times instead of the Belcher?
So, that last activation of unlicensed hearse was illegal because it already was tapped from attacking
I love this series so much. Please make more vids like this
LOVE this kind of content, very fun, and helps it feel very unique!!
The editing in these is always amazin
Andrea when he figures out what undead augur does
Love cardmarket feature match absolutely my favorite videos you do
I love watching you all play paper magic!
Infernal grasp should have been doom blade or go for the throat. That was some close games tho
Love the games, Really trying to get myself over the hump to get into Modern. Really like the stuff here, lots of ideas.
I'm sad it wasn't my deck but it was very fun. Good games!
The zombie got countered yet you still lost 1 life? I'm used to playing differently, to where the whole spell gets countered including the loss of life. Have I been playing wrong or has there been another rule change?
Can we get the names to the bgms? Curious of the one at the beginning of the 2nd match
Unfortunately, I Download all the songs from our Artlist account anI rename all the songs to things like "Funky trumpets long buildup late drop", so I cannot go back and find the names of the actual songs
@@CardmarketMagic haha that's actually pretty hilarious. Thanks!
Music choice at 7:35 went so hard
Oh god. Have been playing no ban historic on Arena the last few days, and Andrea's deck is definetly one of the meta ones in that event. And like the other meta ones, it's also very annoying to play against for an aggro/beatdown player like me 😅
I'd like to see Andea play the budget deck against a winning deck next time
Btw, as someone who watches both the magic and YGO channels, I would love to see content like this on the YGO channel someday as well!
You mean the 100€ deck challenge? I'll let the Yugipeople know :)
@@CardmarketMagic Yeah, the 100€ challenge is very nice. I'm fairly new to YGO so I'm not sure if it translates well to that game, but if it does it is a very cool concept for videos.
