Magic in 1998 Was Truly Something Else | Mono Red Sligh vs Recurring Nightmare 

Looking forward to the party y'all throw when you eventually partner with a U.S. based distribution service.

So you can’t enter if you are in the us because it’s not an option so I can’t make an account

wow! Nice episode but unfortunate the thing won't even let you create an account if you aren't in the EU.

I hope you do a "Who can die first" video like your Yugioh Channel did, it was very fun.

I still have a copy of the Rec Sur deck that I picked up at the time. I suppose it would be nice to try the other deck too.

We filmed a whole series of these :) so hopefully we'll be making a few more of your days in the upcoming months

🎉

@@CardmarketMagic a whole series? I'm stoked

Neat!

@@CardmarketMagic YESSSSS let’s goooo thank you Carl/Jamin

It goes to show that, even in a terrible match-up, the red deck can always sneak in a win :)

I am fascinated by this product! I really wish they brought it back :) it would be so good for the game. Unfortunately, if they did, it would be like 400€

@@CardmarketMagicNo kidding. I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to sell Championship boosters (Talrand included).

​@@diabeticmonkeystandard decks these days are just that expensive

I hope one day for gold bordered cards to be tournament legal and for every card to have a gold border. It is by far my favorite border and I'd love to see it pop up in more than the four formats they are legal in.

I think the "not tournament legal" aspect has potential. Those are basically wotc printed proxies. The answer is of course to print your own if they refuse to do so. But it's less cool, those look really fancy.

We'll be doing something similar next year, but we'll have our subscribers vote for the best deck of each year :) including banned ones

I'd love for it to last all year, or maybe an additional video per week of a tournament bracket

That would be Oko Eldraine whatever. Insanely ahead of everything else,

@@CardmarketMagic I hope to see my favorite deck Green/White Slide from Julien Nuijten make an appearance some time.

@@olivergre1054 Seems like Tolarian Acadmey decks wouldn't care much about an Oko deck or their interaction, given how fast they can win. Nizzahon Magic did a great RU-vid video on some of the top banned standard decks, would recommend watching.

1998 isn’t early. I was playing in 1994

Greasefang is my recurring nightmare

I think it has a much cooler toolbox of nonsense, probably because the creatures are overall weaker so you get to play more tricky interactions. And of course survival means you get to play a lot of one off answers.

Thanks 😊

Frank is great everyone knows that, but Ralph is a true MVP for reaching out to lend us these cards. We were so excited to receive the decks!

You think like we do! As we filmed 5 videos of this with Frank :) we'll be releasing one a month. If they do well, we'd love to do one for every year of magic's history

The Batch is weird. It's more like YuGiOh's Chains than modern Stacks, but still has a bunch of weird interactions that break that comparison too.

We filmed a whole 5 video series on this with Frank:) I hope you enjoy the next 4 through the following months

@@CardmarketMagic Can't wait for it !

We filmed 5 videos with Frank :) hopefully you enjoy the next 4 we will be releasing through the next few months

@@CardmarketMagic Holy shit I instantly subbed reading that

I had all of these cards, sold some on Ebay in the early 2000's, I'm afraid to look at the prices now and see how much money I lost selling them

We will! :) we recorded 5 of these with Frank, 4 more will be published in the upcoming months

You should check out Premodern, Survival and Nightmare are both legal and so are gold-border cards. Middleschool is another format that focuses on the same era with a different ban list.

We will hopefully be doing one of these for every year :)

I'm thrilled you enjoyed this one :) we filmed a series of them with Frank and will be releasing a new one every 3-4 weeks. Hopefully we'll have one for every year eventually

@@CardmarketMagic that's awesome! I really appreciate that your channel is both excited about new Magic but also shows genuine love for previous generations of the game. It's special.

I traded away two force of wills for almost nothing. Nobody cared about them. We were all like "discard a whole extra card? Hell no"

Another rule that was changed just before these championship decks were made - there used to be a step during combat where you could activate instant speed effects after combat damage was assigned but before damage was delt. That meant Mog Fanatic could kill 2 toughness creatures, or 2 for 1 with two 1 toughness creatures and is a major reason why the combat rules were changed.

Welcome to the club! This product was cheap and wonderful for the game!

Frank is great :) we filmed 5 videos like this with him I hope you'll enjoy them, we'll be publishing them every 3-4 weeks

Thank you

I'm happy you like it! We made 5 videos for 5 different years with Frank and I hope you enjoy the next ones as well :D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it :) and you couldn't know at the time that these would be expensive/nostalgic. It's a thing about the good old days. You never know that they are the good old days until it's too late :)

I'm thrilled you enjoyed it :) we filmed 5 of these with Frank that I will be working on in the upcoming months. If they do well, I hope to do one for every year

@@CardmarketMagic Amazing! I cant wait to watch them :)

We recorded 5 of these with Frank :) hopefully you also enjoy the next 4 that will be released in the next months!

Thank you :) I'm happy you enjoyed it

Even without winning that sounds like auch a fun time :)

@@CardmarketMagic it really was. Im glad i kept with friday night magic

It is :)

I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

If these do well, I'd really like to do one of these for every year! And don't forget to thank Ralph :) he reached out to us offering to lend us his worlds decks and that's what gave me the idea for this series (we'll have 4 more coming out in the next months)

I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

I'm happy you enjoyed it :) we recorded 5 of these with Frank, if they do well, I'd like to do one for every year

I'm happy you enjoyed it :) we recorded 4 more of these with Frank, they'll be released in the following months

@@CardmarketMagic I saw that in the comments from previous replies. That is super cool. This will fill the void from the best standard deck ever series well.

We filmed 5 videos about these with Frank :) we'll be releasing them in the next few months. I hope you enjoy the next 4 as well!

@@CardmarketMagic i'm sure i will!

They'd have to get Sam Black on board I think!

I would love to have Sam Black in the studio! But that would currently be rather expensive as flights from the US to Berlin are not cheap 😅 still, I have premodern in my list of upcoming video ideas :) I just want to make sure we do it right

Yes this!

Ideally, we'll be doing one of these for each year :)

Thank you for watching and enabling us to make content about the game we love!

You are welcome :) it was nostalgic for us as well (except for Jamin, he is so young 😅)

Merci :) c'est gentil de ta part! J'ai vraiment apprécier éditer cet épisode! Et c'est toujours in plaisir d'avoir Frank à Berlin

Thank you :) it took me a lot of trial and error through many videos, but I'm broud of what it looks like now

Happy you enjoyed it :) we actually filmed 5 of these with Frank and I hope you enjoy the upcoming ones we publish in the next few months!

We filmed 5 videos of this with Frank :) I hope you enjoy the next 4 we'll be releasing through the following months

I'm happy you enjoyed this one :) I hope you will like the next 4 as well

We filmed 5 of these with Frank in total that we will be releasing in the next months :) if they do well, we'd like to do one for every year

I'm happy you enjoyed it! :) we actually filmed 5 of these with Frank and will be releasing them periodically in the next few months

Wow your thoughts must have mailed us because we filmed 5 videos on the topic with Frank that we will be releasing through the next few months :)

Hahahaha good times :) I'm happy you enjoyed it

Thank you for watching them :) therefore enabling us to make them

It's so fun! It's like having a 60-card hand :)

It's such a cool deck! Glad it isn't around any more, but man what a deck!

You will get more :) We filmed a whole series of these with Frank and will be releasing one every 3-4 weeks

there had to be something better than a bear that could only sometimes block 😂

@@Jack-uh2db There was, but not in red. Other red options at 2 cost (they had something like 15 1/1's for 1) were: 2/1 dwarf that got +0/+2 if blocked by an orc (and the only orc in the format couldnt block it). 2/1 mountainwalker. 1/2 with firebreathing if blocked. 1/1 that got +3/+0 if blocked. 1/1 Pinger that also pinged you. 2/2 Goblin that got -1/-1 if blocked or blocking. 1/1 Goblin Recruiter (who saw play in the goblin version of the deck, but in sleigh was only tutoring itself or a Fanatic) 1/2 who could tap to shock a player with more Life. 1/1 sliver. 1/1 who did retributive damage. 3/3 that got -1/-1 for every other creature on the table. 1/1 with firebreathing that died if it firebreathed 2 walls Red Had some fantastic 1 drops, some solid 3 drops, and its 2 drops were terrible and/or good sideboard cards. Ironclaw Orcs was the only red 2 power 2drop that didnt die to something looking at it funny. Outside of Walls, with green having both Blossoms and Roots, Black and White had the best suite of 2drops, with Whites options being head and shoulders above the rest. White had something like 5 2/2's with upside and 7 1/2 or 2/1's with upside (white also had exactly nothing in that format besides turn 2 creature, turn 3 empyreal armor, turn 4 cataclysm and hope it had more gas than you did)

@@Barraind.Faylestar Man, these kids don't know how bad it was back then. Lol

@@DarthSmirnoff If we had access to creatures that were even as good as the stuff thats "cute but unplayable" these days, it would have been like every day was christmas for creature based decks. This was the era where Kird Ape was not reprinted in 4th edition because it was considered oppressively overpowered for type 2. Blue/White could field a deck where "exile an attacking creature" was straight up their worst card (why wait until they attacked ?!!@!?@), but a vanilla 1/1 for 1 red that required a forest in play to be a 2/3 was overly good. I'm glad somewhere along the line they realized if you have seven hundred things that say pay 1-3, kill a creature, creatures should probably be actually good at every mana cost.

I boggled when I saw the "Art of Beatdown", that was it. That's the article that made me a mythic green player

I'm really happy you enjoy our content :D and I agree! Why would you he negative about a game you love? :)

We recorded 5 of these with Frank and will be releasing them monthly :) if the series does well, I'd like to do one for every year
