Brian seems like a good guy. One crazy thing is I understand everything Brian is talking about since I've played since 94, however alot of the standard and newer players can never imagine what magic was like back in the early 90's because so much has changed. Magic use to have a different Aura/Atmosphere than it does today. It was a different time and the feeling about magic was so different back then. Cool Deck! I appreciate the content guys!
You guys are building something really special. 1994 after the January rules update is a unique time in magic.
Brian: Just a business idea you should do with Daniel many years from now: When you (Brian) "retire" from M:TG (20-30 years from now???), maybe you could sign each of you cards from you very own "The Deck", and sell it for a bazillion dollars (through Daniel as your sales agent). Be sure to sign each card, "The Deck, Brian Weissman", and only those exact 60-75 cards ever get signed that way. We're talking Mona Lisa status years from now (and historically significant!). How awesome would that be! Maybe *frame* the cards, signed as such, and sell it as a unit for a serious chunk. I'm sure any major die-hard M:TG collector (which I'm too poor to be) would scoop that up for *any* price you ask for! Be sure to film & post a video of this signing event, so cards can be verified as to their Originality (non-counterfeit) for decades & centuries to come!
You're killing me with these two parts videos Daniel, ugh! So much fun hearing Brian talk about his deck. And that Mind Twist alter! xD
Thanks for this Daniel I am still as obsessed with Old Magic as I was the first time I peeled a stasis from a pack. Brian you are a living legend I tried so hard as a youth to build "the Deck" on a shoe string budget! This is such a treat.
His level of intelect put into this game is incredible.
Force of Will's purpose is not to be played; it is to exist, so that you have to play around it or through it. Just as Brian recognizes that the black discard decks didn't work because they'd walk right into Mana Drain, the same is true of Force in current Vintage; some degenerate things just aren't even attempted because fighting through a field of quad Forces is just to hard for them. So I'd argue Force is the more powerful counter not as a card countering a spell-- but as a card holding off an entire level of degeneracy in a format. But this is the guy who taught me what it means to be good at magic, so wtf do I know.
Thank you, Daniel, for this important video! This is crucial M:TG history! I remember having Brian sign my Japanese FBB Swords to Plowshares at Pro Tour 2, on board the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA in 1996. He was very polite & gracious. I *still* have the card! Thanks Brian! :)
Timothy Vandenberg youre welcome, gp vegas 2018 i think hes going
You're very welcome Timothy, so cool you still have the card!
Yep, sure do! That very same card is also signed by the first U.S. Champion (Bo Bell), the first two World Champions (Zak Dolan & Alexander Blumke), key members of the Pacific Coast Legends (the first ever self-proclaimed "Pro" Team in Magic (Henry Stern, Mark Justice, Mark Chalice, Preston Poulter)), the often-declared Greatest of All-Time, Mr. Jon Finkel, the super-celebrity, Mr. Channel Fireball himself, Louise Scott Vargas (LSV), and of course YOU (B.W.). When Finkel & LSV both signed the card, they each said, "Wow, you've got some impressive names on this card!" Of course, they meant you, Brian, and maybe a couple other guys! I was there watching when you played Sealed Deck Beta on the Queen Mary and pulled a Serra Angel (and a Mox, I think), and the crowd went wild. I also watched you play a couple times at the Costa Mesa Women's Center (where SoCal's big tourneys were back in the mid-90's). THANK YOU for your superb video interviews! I hope Daniel treated you well for giving up so much of your time! :)
24:30 That moment when you are playing the legend himself, Brian Wissman. You have your Psyonic Blast ready for his famous Serra Angel... and he instead casts Shivan Dragon.
Thanks again Daniel and Brian! Wow yea “The Deck” completely defined our meta in Tacoma early ‘95. The first TRUE control brew, appreciate you so much Brian.
Thank you for the kind words :)
Force of will has the versatility, Mana drain has the raw power
This Brian dude is a pretty Wise Man.
Sorry, had to do it.
Very enjoyable content, he is well-spoken.
This series of videos are awesome, keep them coming!
What a cool video, thanks Brian and Daniel for sharing this content! I am going to try and build this on my PC and play for the learning, I love this stuff.
These videos make me want to become an Old School Only magic player
Did you do it? It’s great
The deck with one lone shivan dragon is my favorite.
What would be a GOOD video topic is taking all these counterspells and breaking down what can they actually do. Like I've heard spell blasts can take out mox's? Cus I'm running counters, power sinks, and a couple boomerangs in my blue deck, but I've got 4 bebs, 2 boomerangs, and 3 spell blasts in side board. Also phantasmal terrain can make dual lands basics(for someone who is broke) and doesn't yet have any duals. Like for ppl just getting into or back into the format which cards are answers to most "the deck" cards. Like tranquility does stop blood moon, but I have to spend 100 bucks on a played concordant crossroads to stop 1 abyss? Lol so many things could be better explained
If you are playing in a format with Force of Will, that means Alliances is legal, which means Homelands and Ice Age are legal, which means Brainstorm and Merchant Scroll are legal. Merchant Scroll targets begin with Ancestral Recall and then goes Time Twister. Both of which will refill your hand in a snap. After that, you get the likes of Braingeyser... or Recall to get back your Time Twister.
So, no. It is not fair to compare Force of Will when Alliances isn't even legal in "Old School" Magic. Of course you can't get cards back with Tome... but you don't have to use Tome to draw your cards if Force of Will is legal.
What changes would you do if you were playing with UK Rules (1 Strip Mine)?
Hallo Brian. Great video! Would replacing the Shivan Dragon with a fireball be na option? It shuts down all opponent’s removal and your fireball can also function as removal, besides it cant be removed from game (as Shivan can with plow ofcourse). And with recall regrowth and timetwister it can be cast multiple times. Hope to hear from you
Hi Brian! First off all let me say that I fell in love with your The Deck list the moment I laid my eyes on it when I started playing in 1998. I played a budget version of it till 2002 when I quit playing. I kept collecting cards many years later, completing a P9 set on the way. Just to know how it would feel to have your deck assembled, even without playing a game. Now thanks to the Oldschool format I am a player again instead of just a collector.
One question though: when you say you played 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. Was that during the time when nobody used sleeves? And how did your cards look like shuffling them so many times without sleeves day in day out? I never played without sleeves and would like to know. Thanks for your contributions to the game!
You're very welcome Freddy, thank you for the kind words! The truth is, we started playing with sleeves very early on, I'd say within a month or two after I started. I remember seeing them for the first time in probably February of 1994, and then adopting them myself within a month. I didn't foresee the eventual crazy value of cards from that era, I just felt that my cards were more enjoyable when they weren't all scuffed and tattered.
At the time, there weren't actually any sleeves that fit Magic cards well, you had to use sleeves that were longer, intended for baseball cards. Most people just left the end of their sleeves all long and floppy, but that bugged me, so I trimmed mine. Unfortunately, the piece of cardboard I used as a guide for trimming was exactly the same length as a Magic card, which meant the tops of all my cards were still exposed to wear through playing. Many cards I still have from that era bear a distinctive wear pattern: a line of grime and scuffing right at the top.
Brian Weissman LOL! This partly explains why Brian joined my other buddies in trolling my floppy-ended penny sleeves! I have used the baseball card sleeves brian describes since '94
With all of the reprints in modern card frames, I want to play old school magic with only modern card frames.
Sounds like fun, but I think the old art has a more whimsical feeling that adds to the format. Newer cards have more of a comic book feel, the old cards more of a 70/80s fantasy feel
@@nickfanzo- I said frames, not art. I love the old art. Of course, this post was two + years ago and before they went insane with al of the alternative frames. I was just talking about the M10 frame updates. They are clean and clear. My favorites though are the Plane Shifted frames like the original Damnation and Harmonize. Those kept the old school feel (and white text) with the modern easy to read layout.
@@PaulGaither cool thanks for responding
man this is so cool... Are those double-sleeved? Do you ever have to replace Chaos Orb sleeve because of how much it gets tossed around?
Nope, all the cards are single-sleeved, I don't think I'll ever play with anything double-sleeved. I'm using KMC Hyper Mat Black sleeves, which are pretty good for resisting wear and tear. I don't actually toss the Orb very much, that little demo I did for Daniel involved throwing it more than I've done in the last 10 tournaments combined.
Hi Daniel, when will part 2 be on youtube?
I thought I was going to see some Blood Moons main....
27:10 i never knew i won a tournament bro! How trippy is that
man training with patrick chapman, thats some cool history. did tourney wins pull in much cash back then?
It's Chapin actually :P Unfortunately, tourney wins didn't really pay well at all. Professional Magic paid so poorly when I did it that I had to supplement my lifestyle with ante playing and selling cards I won. It was a rough, precarious life, but still very fun and rewarding!
yeah well when you find the game that you love, it really does transcend.
beta shivan
When do you mulligan?
There is no hard rule about this unfortunately, but it really has to do with what the opponent is playing. Games are much slower in Old School that in other formats, so my top priority is simply having a lot of lands. It's not out of the ordinary to keep five or even six land hands in this format, that's often exactly all you want.
How old is that magazine
It was current actually, and there by pure coincidence.
Brian Weissman wow that's craziness!!
These videos would be so much better if Daniel would stop talking non-stop about nothing. It's like he simply loves to hear his own voice. Let Brian speak, he's much smarter and more interesting.
Yes hes smarter than me...but i am faster in running in the Swiss Alps...in crocs...
dead last
too much bullshit being spoken
