Even tho luck is a nice thing i usually dont need it when i play my format. Playing commander with a general that draws you cards is a nice thing. Specially when you play wheel.
Count was actually off. Only ticked up 2 for a brainstorm
Some cards on top of the library were already known from prior ponders and brainstorms. I don’t want to count the same known card twice.
hey Nikatchu another top level unluck it's another in best of SCG where a sneak and show player blood moons a Jund player and before he can find the combo the other players draw it's only basic and finish him off
it's another great one!
@@reslime that sounds great, I'll look for it
When the guy who tosses his deck away, leaving it behind as he walks off, is the winner you know that was one brutal match
the winner walked away in confusion himself. a bitter sweet victory.
I think if anyone of them had a grizzly bear in play, they would've won
Proof or bear supremacy
I now know how DnT wins
Storm Crow
Drudge Skeletons
Storm crow wins games. It blocks flyers
Legacy is all about turbo combos that end in 2 turns
The combo mirrors :
Are you playing Yugioh or what? Winning on turn 2?
@@SkillsByNiels well if you are being serious about the question...
no I am not a Yugioh player although I have bare minimal surface knowledge of the game...
In terms of Legacy, I kinda just started with a physical deck called Manaless Dredge and it does win as soon as turn 2 with me taking the draw~
and as shown in the video, the guy already is presenting a win on turn 1 but being answered by Force of Will~
@@wbw911 you just said why it is not a format that ends on turn 2, so I don't know what you mean.
@@SkillsByNiels ah... but yea there are still slower, fairer decks in legacy that don't go all in turbo combo and stuff... this is just one of the weird stereotypes of Legacy haha~
Is this guy taking serious a meme?
Blue gets so many draw effects and cantrips that anomalies like these don’t make me feel bad.
being a pro means also finding yourself in these spots and still being to extend your end. you can tell he was pissed like mad by his look, but overall his reaction was very classy.
I love the clear shock that Brian experiences with the turn 1 sneak attack, he's just there, staring at the card, before casting FoW
Shout out to Brian and Brad tho. Two class acts who been in the game since forever. Very skilled MTG players
I played a good bit of Table Tops with Brad and a few other MTG players. Brad is definitely among the most fun and friendly people I've ever met.
Ponder post-shuffle can just as easily show you one of the three cards you just rejected. And Brainstorm can Fateseal yourself if you don't have a way to shuffle away the drek you put back. BBD cracked a fetchland to thin his deck that he should have saved for a shuffle.
I think Adrian pronounced BBD's name 7 different ways!
He looked so defeated, I could feel the pain
That face when you realize you'd have won by now if you had just put swamps in the deck lmao
I remember when I had two copies of force of will. Got them from another guy who gave me 500 random cards for $50. That card won me many games
On my birthday I was at a grand prix standing behind Brad Nelson, I watched his opponent ult liliana, Brad Came back to win that game with 2 lands and a scavenging ooze I think it was. Good times.
Would love a video on the Gab Nassif Ignite Memories moment too. That also has to be pretty damn unlikely, not 0,2 percent but still!
LOL I love Ignite Memories, I built around it when it was in Standard and it was hilarious. With all the suspend stuff and Tormod's Crypt and Fossil Find I could easily cast it for 5 or 6 on turn 4. (Rite of Flame made it possible to cast on turn 1, but only with three of them in my starting hand. It was usually more effective on turn 4 anyway!)
I'm new in Magic, so i don't know if it's so rare, but once i was playing whie / black, draw 34 cards and none plains. I ended up with My hand full of white cards and discarding every end turn, until i lost, so i don't know, maybe i could keep drawing swamps
No mulligan? :)
@James Black I had
@@javinot1 So you're unlucky...
Its called mana screwing, and its not as rare as you'd think
@@sabata414 Yeah if he drew 34 cards thats like 60% of the deck and assuming he had lets say 14 black sources out of only 26 cards left... i cant count how much % is that but i can tell you that its really slim chance :D
I was playing historic on Arena. I had a Faceless Haven land with one of the counters from Book Exalted Deeds on it (the one the gives the same effect as a Platinum Angel) and I also had a Nissa Who Shakes the World token in play that makes all my lands indestructible. I thought there was no chance I could lose. I don't know how much life I was at but I was in a huge negative. My opponent kept swinging in each turn despite not being able to kill me but kept enough back that he could block everything I threw at him. It got to the point that he was about to lose from card draw but then he played a Shadowspear...
I think you can guess what happened next.
Ouch. I feel bad
Why ever animate the land again?
@@LegendLeaguer I didn't. My opponent had land destruction spells.
I've been noticing some odd shuffling from BBD - 13:47 he either shuffles the deck so as to leave the top or bottom alone. It's making me angry lol - shuffle the whole deck!
Well dont be angry, his oponent is allowed to shuffle it aswell if he'd wished to do so
I was in the finals of a mirrodin draft tournament, swung all out thinking I had game on next turn. The sunblast angel drops, my dreams of first dissolve right before my eyes.
this one time I had my brother down to 1 life by turn 4, was ready to turn 5 him but he was able to hold on with a few counters and well placed defense. I think I then top decked 14 lands, in the end I had almost all of my land on the field and lost. Only 23 land in a 61 card deck, I have yet to see anyone get flooded that bad.
Many times I've lost after being on the top. That's maybe becaus I most of the time play multiplayer games (rising too soon to top means everybody else will gang on you). The worst time I believe was the time I cleaned the board with Ugin 2 times, killed every creature with Deathbringer Regent several turns after that, and still lost the game.
I once had a similar game where after idk how many blank turns just draw pass, and never finding the sneak attack or show and tell i hard casted the freaking griselbrand from my hand. LOL.
This reminds me of the guy who somehow magically drew every copy of scapeshift in his deck, and drawing literally any other card would have won him the game.
Lol if I ever get to meet Brian in real life I'll say one thing
"Brian, how you Braun-Duin man?!"
Hey ho, I am really loving these vids which give some insight into the pro scene. Are you perchance planning vids like "Most incredible top decks caught on camera", "Luckiest player caught on camera" or even "The most 200 IQ moves caught on camera"? I think those would be interesting too. But keep up the infos about cheats too. It's kinda fascinating to see what people are able to come up with, and can also serve us honest players to learn for what we need to keep an eye out.
I intend on doing things like that so long as it’s easy to explain to the audience. Very likely we’ll see luckiest moments on camera and the like.
@@NikachuMTG Am looking forward to it. 😁
I was playing my strongest commander deck and All I needed was one drawspell or one burn card to win, and after 10 turns (no kidding) of top decking lands and mana rocks I lost. And even after checking the top to see how far I'd need to go to find one I would have had to go another 4 or more cards down to find something.
It was quite literally stacked the worst possible way for that game making giving me mana and answers to protect myself, BUT NO WAY TO WIN.
I once lost a game with my Animar because I couldn't find a red source. Checked after and the first one was 36 bloody cards deep. Learned that day to never keep a hand that doesn't guarantee a turn 3 Animar at the latest...
@@nicholasbower17 first thing my friends thought me about magic when they got me into it, "Never keep a hand that doesn't let you summon your commander on turn 4 at least"
Sounds like a niv deck and it can happen
@@pokefantrent2065 Oh man speaking of Niv, one game my hand was; 2 hybrid lands, 2 islands a sol ring, a condescend and ponder, I don't know how many turns that was but I lost with 7 ISLANDS, and the two hybrid lads!
Dude that anxiety in that room was probably thicker then shiz
"the most INTENSE GAME of MAGIC ....... where nothing happens" is 100% accurate.
Playing Goblins in MTGA, I play Muxus into 6 lands every second time...
Oh you sweet summer child. I just finished tracking 200 games of Magic on Arena, 154 of which I was on the draw.
Brian Braun-Duin merely adopted the bad luck. I was born in it.
As a yugioh player I was both confused, excited, impressed, and not impressed at the same time
That was intense. I've never played this and I have no idea what I am watching, but there was something going on there.
The Music reminds me of Final Fantasy 8. Jesus.. all that memories came back. Memories from a time, where my biggest worry was: "do i have enough pocket money to buy magic cards?" Farewell, good old days..
The judge besides Brandon is the realest person on that arena.
Brian didn't lose this to bad luck, he lost this because he sucked at making decisions. He had it won by landing a sneak attack and still having counterspells in hand. Brad is forced to counter cantrips because he won't be able to stop Sneak from resolving. All Brian has to do is counterspell through the breach, sneak attack, or show and tell, and he stays the favored to win. What does he do? Counters a counterspell to resolve a cantrips and hope that he hits the ~20% to win the game off of it.
The manic fiddling with their hands drives me insane
Okay, I got a story for ya, I'm playing instant speed reanimator on the draw in modern while looting and the ape are still in, I turn one attack my merfolk opponent with the combo (Emrakal Goryo's Vengeance) and he sacs his Aether vile and island and goes to 5, he says (it's a friend, I was too nice) "I concede" My dumb ass goes, "you could still win............." and I never find anything I can cast until I die, Let them concede is my new MTG moto, Thanks for reading..
Was playing black devotion the past fnm and I had 4 land with 2 Grey merchants on hand topdeck junk had 7 life vs oppent with 1 card n they top deck a second burn spell to kill me for seven the next draw was the land I needed to turn it all around sad...
The Magic Arena shuffler is designed after Brian's deck.
Sneak Attack has been my favorite card ever since it was released.
If only they had a 1/1 creature they could have finished their opponent off first before getting their combo. 🤣😂
Nikachu! React to the death and taxes surviving an emrakul attack and still winning!
Sneak show is always my favorite deck
These players and there twitches is more entertaining than the actual game. And I love MTG.
Look at the brain shuffling he isn't changing the bottom card!
oh look, that's my usual game of hearthstone when i used to play combos... the combo was always in the last 3 cards of the deck... and i punctually managed to last up to one turn before drawing it and then they killed me
what a plot armor! wouldn't believed it if it wasn't recorded.
Bonus points for all the Leeroy Jenkins.
"at least I've chicken" 😂😂 you didn't let me down, Nikachu
I had a game during Zendikar/Scars Standard where I drew 13 lands in a row in a game to lose. I was playing UW Sun Titan control, and my opponent was on Boros Landfall. It was game 3 and I was on the play. Pretty sure my hand was something like Seachrom Coast, Glacial Fortress, 2 basics, Condemn, Ratchet Bomb, and a Sun Titan. I lead with the Coast. Opponent leads with Mountain and Goblin Guide, I reveal a land, and Condemn the Guide. I play a land and Ratchet Bomb. He plays a land and a Played Geopede, then I tick up the Bomb. I play a land and pass. He plays a second Goblin Guide and connects with both guys, Guide revealed another land, and I tick up the Ratchet Bomb. I draw yet another land, play one and pass. He connects again, then plays 2(!!!) 2 drops. I say “Thanks, that makes this a lot better.” and I crack the Ratchet Bomb. Board states are 4 lands on my side, to his 4 lands and Guide. I have Sun Titan and a whole lotta land in hand. He connects a couple times with the Guide, revealing more lands for me. I keep making my land drops and drawing more land. The game ends on turn 6 or 7. I cast my Titan and he cracks a fetch and Searing Blazes me out. I started the game with 3 spells and 4 lands in hand and drew nothing but land or revealed land off of Goblin Guide the rest of the way.
The setting: 2016. Modern event at a local LGS.
I'm playing Blue/Black Mill. 23 lands.
Opponent wins the dice roll and wants to be on the draw. So I'm thinking, "This must be an 8-Rack deck."
My opening hand: 1x Inquisition of Kozilek; 2x Surgical Extractions; some cheap mill cards. PERFECT! Only problem was I only had one land... a swamp..
My Turn 1: I Inquisition'd & saw they had The Rack & 2x Shrieking Afflictions in hand. Chose the Affliction then Surgical'd all the copies.
Opponent's Turn 1: They Thoughtseize me and take my Mesmeric Orb. (I was surprised they didn't take my other Surgical.)
My Turn 2: I top-deck an Inquisition! OH BOYS...! So I Inquisition + Surgical The Rack my opponent's Racks. Now I'm playing against ZERO-Rack! I normally lose to this type of deck, but this was finally my time! I just need to draw some lands and top-deck some mill. EZ
For some reason, my opponent did not concede and just kept playing as if nothing happened. and they keep making me discard.
Next turn I draw a non-land. The turn after... non-land.
Now opp plays Lilliana of the Veil. while I have 1 card left. +1...
I draw a spell I can't cast... Lilli +1...
I draw a spell I can't cast... Lilli +1...
I draw a spell I can't cast... Lilli +1...
I draw a spell I can't cast... Lilli +1...
I draw a spell I can't cast... Lilli +1...
I WENT THROUGH 23 SPELLS until I finally found a second land... ALRIGHT, oh wait, I have no cards in hand... pass...
Now it's turn ~17 and plays a Mutivault.
I draw a land... Opp attacks for 2...
I draw a land... Opp attacks for 2...
I draw a land... Opp attacks for 2...
I draw a land... Opp attacks for 2...
I draw a land... Opp attacks for 2...
Repeat that another 5 turns in a row and I die on turn ~28 via a Mutivault...
Could not believe it. Such a roller coaster of emotions. Not even MtG Arena could have devised a fate more rigged to lose.
Amazing story
feels like the arena shuffler lol
That was so intents it made me want to go camping
everyone: omg blue decks are broken
blue decks:
Well, after his start, he had his chicken for sure
played a game of magic arena the other day, i was up 30+ life and my opponent had 1 life left, i drew only land for the rest of the game and lost....
I have a friend (not quite a pro but he was a high-level player) who was far unluckier.
He was playing burn against some kind of Necropotence deck, I can't remember exactly what.
In game 3, the opponent is down to 1 life. His board is effectively just Necropotence and a Bottle Gnomes. He has no cards in hand, and can't draw any more because of Necro.
My friend is at 12 life and playing burn. All he needs to do is draw a single damage spell to win the match.
And he proceeds to brick his draw phase.
With a burn deck.
Against an opponent who can do literally nothing except attack with a 1/3 creature each turn.
For.
*Twelve.*
Turns.
He quit playing Magic for five years or so after that debacle.
I'd quit too!
IIRC the guy had also already Zuran Orbed all his lands. So even if he did sac the gnomes to draw there was literally nothing he could do. My friend basically lost the game to a goldfish at that point.
audibly laughing out loud @7:50 seeing a FoW being hardcast by Brad. legacy rocks!
if this was 24 cards in a row but he suffled the deck many times so he could see same cards multible time
Seeing 24 random cards with replacement (half the number of cards in the deck) and still not hit 1 of 8 win conditions is still very unlucky.
There should be a rule for cases like this: if you lose the game cause bad luck, you are entitled to slap the oppo hard in the face (at least twice) and you can swear loud and clear your frustration without being fined. You should also win a gold pin with "MtG sucks". :-)
I'm glad that even the pros sometimes get screwed over by the top deck. Sometimes it feels like it only happens to me.
Some (or Many) people who has 2-3 life left still thinking they will survive to use a 5/5 creature to block Questing Beast with trample.
its crazy how both of these decks are super designed and yet both of them fail exceptionally hard :D
notice that both decks succeed in delaying their opponent. There were plenty of REBs and FoWs that made that game go longer.
My brother played against brad nelson at a modern qualifier and played green devotion with burning tree and managed to turn 2 garruk game 1 and turn 2 ghalta game 2 and won within 5 minutes of the round and he picked up his cards and left. Unlucky fella.
if morbidly curious deck got force of nature with upkeep by drop a forest, tap and discard a elvish spirit guide for 2 green mana total, play gaia's touch, which is from dark 2 green mana that allows me to play a second land each turn as long as it's a forest, play a land, then tap land for lanawar elf, so I have 2 forests, and a lanawar elf in play, next turn play a land, sacrifice touch for 2 green mana, tap the three lands and the elf and BAM force of nature, along with 3 forests and a elf to pay upkeep :>
LEROY JENKINS!!!!!!! Damn it leroy
The beauty of blue magic. Player 1: Ponder. Player 2: FoW Player 1: FoW your FoW. Player 1: Ponder finds Brainstorm. Player 1: Brainstorm finds nothing. Ugh. LOL
It's like none of y'all have ever seen a thumb break before
Frank Carsten does the math on this on a video Marshal Sutcliffe and Brad Nelson himself commentate it, it’s hilarious, and the math is actually insane lol
BBD was using the MTGA shuffler
This is what I imagine hell would be like
Over 2000 goblins on field. Can't break through spore frog.
Brain Braun-Duin is such a cool name. I’m gonna use it for a dnd npc
14:55 - "This is a really exciting game to watch..." as I'm nodding off watching two net deckers do a whole bunch of nothing.
Haha, this is how I felt too. This is one of the times that MTG is boring as hell to watch. It's actually kinda embarrassing.
seems like a typical game for me on MTGA...
This right here is why people hate playing against control decks with a single win condition.
Variance can just feel the absolute worst. While I certainly cannot remember the exact numbers I was playing in a draft once, so 40 card deck, I believed I mulliganed once and got a 3 spell 3 land hand. Unlikely to do better at 5 cards I kept. Proceeded to draw 12 lands in a row before I lost [granted I had likely 'lost' well prior to this]. So of the 17 or 18 land likely in my deck, I managed to draw 15 of them vs 3 spells. Don't tell me the odds...I don't want to know the odds. [or do I am kinda curious]
Okay video. Thanks for uploading!
I love these videos recapping pro play!
A part of me literally WANTS to call "bullshit" or "staged" only cause the odds are so astronomical. Brad was cutting the shit outta this deck, AND BBD was shuffling on TOP of the cuts.
That's the thing. Probably hundreds of millions of magic games are played every day so the unlikely becomes more probable.
Forget being mana screwed. Man got creature screwed
I'm telling you, it's that damn Arena shuffler... it's rigged!
Got beat last week because I played defensively against the guy who could've killed me if I didn't. All I needed was the 3rd guy (the one after me) to not draw a lightning bolt. He had already played two, after all. Yeah he shot me in the face and went on to win.
Was playing a casual game with my brother yrs ago while I was cooking us some food. I'm 1 of the better players in my play group (only 4 of us took it seriously n I needed out more than any of them) so I wasn't too afraid of losing n had gotten myself set up so that I had decent defenses n all 4 copies of my Wellwishers on the field n tapping them for 16+ life a turn (can't remember how many other elves were in play) n I got to over 400 life but as the stoner I am n also cuz I like a challenge, j refused to beat him until I got my life to exactly 420... for it to 418 but had to find a way to either lose elves or lose life so I could hit that magic number. Before that happened he finally managed to get Liege of the Tangle to stick n hit my life points n made most of his forests into 8/8 elementals n started swinging hard. It became a battle of attrition to see if I could maintain my life when he was swinging for 40+ damage a turn. I ended up losing but its 1 of (if not) my favourite loses in all my yrs playing. Others r when I'd lend a deck to friends who didn't have cards n our play group would underestimate them simply cuz I'm not the pilot but then they'd pull off some combo n beat everyone who was trying so hard to kill me. Mwahahahahaha
This is a very flavourful story
I recall watching this live, odds there where no hits were crazy.
luck is a matter of perspective. This is a great set of plays though
8:30 when he plays his second FoW to protect his ponder, isn't it better to crack the lotus petal rather than fetching? Lotus petal doesn't seem of much use at this stage of the game while shuffling with the fetch might useful (brainstorm)?
Maybe that was a better line
That's frustrating to watch dang
And people say legacy is a “skill testing” format
I am not sure if I'm seeing it right, but wasn't BBD shuffling his deck wrong? The bottom of his deck was insufficiently shuffled, and Brad cut from the middle of the deck, leaving the bottom unchanged.
I think he shuffled well
He bricked a lot but his opponent also bricked. Not sure if you can call either one of then "unlucky" under these circumstances.
Whatever the opposite of "Heart of the Cards" is, it's this
Another unlucky game is Gab Nassif vs Patrick Chapin
Said it before, it was more a fun deck, but my second turn force of nature, into opponents swords to plowshears :> it was just...OH COME ON...hehe :> Especially with white having so few creature removals at the time :> it was a fun deck :>
I'm just happy no one was cheating, magic has literally turned into who can cheat the most without being caught till they win, I don't go to pre-releases or anything for that matter because cheating is so rampant and then when you call somebody on it they get all shitty and defensive, the MTG community is getting more toxic by the day and now post malone is getting all the wannabe gangsters and scumbags to look at magic so either they stay away and mtg stays as toxic as it is now or they go full tim tim and start buying up anything of value and just ruin the game overall
16:06 Well, I mean, he was shuffling his deck poorly... When only half your deck gets shuffled, and then the other half gets put on the bottom by your opponent cutting it, you've screwed up.
Mons's goblin raiders FTW...
BBD casted Force of will for 4 Mana. 8:37
One of the lands tapped is Ancient Tomb. It adds 2 Colorless
Compared to YGO, MTG seriously needs specific search cards, this si so PAINFUL to watch XD
Well we used to have them but they all got banned for being too good
Those are very bad odds. But I mean, if it's 1/500, if they played only 500 games with a similar list then the odds are actually about 63% of it happening at least once, and I bet they've all played a lot more than 500 games collectively. Now this happening on a final game of a semi-final is indeed very unlucky!
