Relive great moments from the history of Magic event coverage. For more clips, check out Brian David-Marshall's column on DailyMTG.com: www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine...
Pretty much Mihara miscounts his mana, and would have been 1 mana short for his Dragonstorm(bomb) after the two Rite of Flames. So after that long thought process he decides to Repeal one of Paulo's creatures, which draws him a card. By some miracle, the card he drew was his third Rite of Flame, which gives him the 9 mana he needs to play Dragonstorm and win.
I hope you don't just see this as a lucksack. This is a classic example of making a huge mistake but then having the presence of mind to play to your outs and give yourself every opportunity to win. Basically, having the skill to put yourself in a position to luck into the win.
This is an example of: 1) Poor Play 2) Avoiding Tilt 3) Getting Lucky Its a good video for showing how to settle yourself after making a mistake and then trying to make the best of a bad situation you caused. Its not a prime example of masterful play though right?
he was attempting to generate mana for his deck's One Turn Kill. He realized too late he was short. He spent some time trying to figure out what to do. He then used the Repeal to return a card to his hand and then top decked the only card that could have won him the match.
people complain mtg is a luck based game... I partially disagree. mtg Imo is 1/3 luck of the draw sure, but it's also 1/3 knowing how to build a deck, and 1/3 having an understanding of how to play the cards in your deck optimally. this was a misplay so luck had more to do with it, however without thinking to have repeal, use it on Savannah lion, and everything else he used, this couldn't have happened. not to mention despite almost screwing himself, he kept his composure and eventually understood he had a way to draw one last hail Mary card to give him a chance at redemption.
I disagree with your portions on what is what but this was more deck building than anything. After all fetchlands are expensive so you can thin your deck and help draw a better card later on like he displayed.
Canis Major the portions were to simplify for most people. It is very apparent that each of those things doesn't effect the outcome equally. I just wanted to drill home that it is a mix of things and not just luck as many people say. I agree with you 100%

Actually, Sleight if Hand says look at the top two cards, put one in hand, the other at the bottom. he had no way of knowing his top deck was after the sleight has finished resolving.
yeah. thats why its so impressive. he had no idea what he was going to draw, and he drew the only card in his library that would save him: a third ritual. thats why it was so lucky.
I'm sure you will be informed of this by many other commenters, but you do know that's not how sleight of hand works right? Maybe you are confusing it with Telling Time. This wasn't a case of just forgetting a card he had looked at. This was an intelligent player keeping cool and playing to their outs.
actually, his sleight of hand revealed the top card of his deck so when he was re-calibrating, he was actually trying to remember everything he had done. once he remembered what he saw at the top, he knew exactly what to do. great play by him to keep cool and slowly remember everything.
H. Comfy this game is 1/3 luck, 1/3 deck building, and 1/3 understanding of how to use the cards you put in your deck optimally. granted this was a major misplay so luck played a much bigger factor, however if he did not think to have repeal and Savannah lion in his deck (along with everything else) and didn't have an understanding that he has a way to draw one last card for a hail Mary, this wouldn't have happened.
Makihito's deck uses Dragonstorm, which costs 9 mana, to win. He cast a Sleight of Hand then a Rite of Flame only to realize that casting Sleight of hand left him with only 8 mana. So he Repealed the Savannah Lions and drew a card. The card he drew was a third Right of Flame, giving him enough mana to cast Dragonstorm and win.
i dont quite understand what you mean. explain to me how im not getting how sleight of hand works. i even read the card description before i commented. from the top, he gets 2 cards right? one goes to the borrom, one goes to the top. he does not draw. so the card he had on top was no drawn yet, and he knows which card that was because of sleight of hand.
Just a little late for the correction. You are right in that he does not draw, the card reads put one into your hand and the other on the bottom. So top card of library is unknown after using Slight of Hand.
@@TheAverageGuyTAG I think that is a basic skill you must have at this game. Concedeing is just a tool to short games that are too long to save time in compettitive play. In the video it would not make sense to concede
We don't know if he had the dragonstorm already in his hand, maybe he got it from slight of hand, that way the sleight of hand was necessary and this was his only route to victory.
I disagree.... making a extremely foolish play mistake, then drawing to a two outer with 45 cards+ to go is about the absolute deffinition of luck sacking.
I'm so impressed that he did not give up. The expresssions on his face were priceless. A great moment in Magic!
Sometimes you just gotta stumble your way to victory. I've had to do it before and I'm sure I'll do it again. Impressive recovery.
To be fair, almost all your victories YOU have done were you stumbling to victory
A lot of players I've seen would have probably just conceded out of embarrassment. A simply stellar recovery while keeping his cool.

"...Can he just run away from the table."
look at young paulo's baby paulo face. he baby
look at him now! player of the year

whats a lucksack
Insane lucksack
Uhh, still a luck sack
What a great moment. Mihara shows what it takes to be a true pro!
4:34 *heavy breathing* i can hear that all day!
What an insane recovery
Great mini series :D
I am inspired to use more card-drawing spells in my decks.
I love this series, when are we getting post khan's coverage?
That being said, he was still very lucky. He had just 2 rituals still in his deck, and as the commentators added a Seething Song wouldn't do it.
This is an example of:
1) Poor Play
2) Avoiding Tilt
3) Getting Lucky
Its a good video for showing how to settle yourself after making a mistake and then trying to make the best of a bad situation you caused. Its not a prime example of masterful play though right?
I think I would be much more impressed if I knew what the cards were doing.

I’ve made the type of mistakes he did but never pulled through to win from it. Very cool

mtg is 40% deckbuilding, 50% knowing how to play your deck vs other popular/common decks, and 10% luck.
He got Bogardan Hellkites and Hunted Dragons.
wow ... the nerdest example of strong character ever, but I approve.

I once condescended a thrun the last troll, almost conceded but glad i didn't
+Audie Garver because even though it cant be countered it can still be targeted and i needed the scry. also misplays
Freddy Nash U cant target thrun?
Caleb Yetman see previous reply. also i scryed into oblivion stone.

I'd love to know if he got a relevant spell from the slight of hand, that way this sequence was the only way to victory.
Right now I'm making the same face that dude was. I don't know what the hell just happened but I'm sure it was epic.
what dragon is he searching for w dragonstorm?
Bogardan hellkite & hunted dragon
Play to your outs!
i miss rueben :(
He had 2 red floating from the first ritual... sketchy play. Nothing would have changed if he did cast it at that time though.
holy fucking shit. how lucky can you get?

He play the second rite and simply take back from the table. LOL
Didnt the dude play a ritual and take it back?
o fuck me i thought it said put one on top of your deck.
what did he repeal?
to draw a card
i ment the target
the savannah lions
ouuuuuu
Tricky.
So I suppose its better to slam you spells on the table before tapping your mana xD
Gives you extra .2 seconds to figure shit out.
Can someone explain me what just happneded?
Makihito's deck uses Dragonstorm, which costs 9 mana, to win. He cast a Sleight of Hand then a Rite of Flame only to realize that casting Sleight of hand left him with only 8 mana.

Lord of the void
I really dislike da Rosa's board set up. But to each their own.
hadn't payed for it
He didn't tap the mana first. So it could just be counted as a free reveal.
i dont quite understand what you mean. explain to me how im not getting how sleight of hand works. i even read the card description before i commented. from the top, he gets 2 cards right? one goes to the borrom, one goes to the top. he does not draw. so the card he had on top was no drawn yet, and he knows which card that was because of sleight of hand.

I don't think he had payed for it yet?
So basically, a match that was lost for a player mistake yet saved by lucky shot is a great moment in magic ?
Yes, because rather than just throwing in the towel right there, he saw a line that gave him a slim chance of still pulling off the win.

PVD deserved to lose for playing lands in front of creatures.
These are the worst losses. Your opponent makes a mistake and not only doesn't get punished for it, but lucksacks into the win. Just awful.
I disagree.... making a extremely foolish play mistake, then drawing to a two outer with 45 cards+ to go is about the absolute deffinition of luck sacking.
Man back when magic was fun and amazing... I love magic but the game has been horrible for the past 5+ years... Too political and serious now.
Political?
