Hey guys, idea for a video. A little similar to this. - You make decks and play against each other, BUT, your decks MUST contain one and only one, nonbasic card from each set in MTG's history. Do you just build goodstuff piles? Do you try for combos? Do you go Kindred/tribal? Do you got for an archetype like Spellslinger? Which do you pick, black lotus or force of will?!
Tarkir solely because of fetch lands. They balance Modern around fetches, they never print them into standard (but maybe with the next Tarkir set coming next year), and no doubt every new land that gets designed gets designed around how fetches will impact them. I know fetches came before but out of the 4 sets here it seems like a no brainer. And I didn't even talk about delve.
@@Shinobi-tp3yq More than likely mana/land pile is separated and you can play a basic land each turn hence why each of them somehow manage to obtain domain very early.
I ADORE this concept and would genuinely love to see this premise return several more times. Imagine Ravnica(1) v Ravnica(2) v Ravnica(3) v Ravnica(4) ! Or 4 of your favourite core sets haha
@@BobertJoe Sure, but dragons are part of the tarkir lore in the alternate Timeline where it Happens, so when I saw the Titel and the thumpnail I was pretty Sure toffel was about to Play tarkir xD
That's actually a very cool "format". It's not just big decks, it also helps showcasing the thematic strengths (and, well, weaknesses) of the various sets.
I'm not convinced it actually works, wouldn't the delayed trigger from act of treason remember the original owner and resolve after Olivia's ability resolves?
@@TheRealPlato I don't believe so, no. It doesn't specifically say to return it to it's owner's control at the end of turn. Not to mention there's nothing stopping you from gaining control of your own creature for whatever reason with act of treason. I believe in the interaction lol
@@TheRealPlatoyou'll have 2 continuous effects with no dependencies operating on the same layer (Layer 2 - Control). Even with timestamps and timed ability expiration control wouldn't revert.
It would probably be feasible in an online format, just so everything runs in a decent pace. Would also probably need some sort of anti-bricking rule like everyone starts with 3~4 random lands just to try to prevent non-games from happening. Wonder what sets would have the advantage. Probably the ones with the best cheap units or with the best interaction? Graveyard effects like flashback or jump-start would probably be really strong just because it guarantees the player always have more options if the game halts to a grind.
small thing at 8:45 the bastion of rememberance doesnt trigger from the soldier dying since the sac is part of the cost and at that point the hushbringer is still on the battlefield
I struggle watching and keeping track of things with MTG gameplay videos, especially with 4 players. The edit on these is amazing and so easy to follow!
Well it kinda snowballed and you kept fighting each other rather than the person with the biggest board at the end, but loved the concept. Lots of great memories.
I've been out of Magic for a while... This channel has totally got me back into it! I've never played commander and am currently working on my first deck... Definitely picking Thalia and the Gitrog Monster as my champion! Please try this sometime. I'm obsessed with this deck lol
Day 1 of complimenting great plays instead of pointing out misplays 15:15 was a big brain move by Thoralf I thought he was going to steal the Bird from jamin, but that was good thinking!!!
So, first of all I love everything you do and I'm watching every video you put out. Secondly though, I started following this channel because every magic channel is either Arena or Commander these days. I absolutely loved that you played actual paper 1v1 magic. I'm guessing your 4-ppl videos are doing great cause you make more and more of them. Still, I just want to voice that I really like the more serious 1v1 videos so much more here since I'm still gonna watch and like this and how else would you know?
We'll be bringing back 1v1 with the Best Pauper Deck Ever series soon :) and then we'll try to do a bit more. We simply had more casual guests recently. But Andrea will be back in force in March 😎
Same! Love 1v1 vids the most and its what made this channel special to be. But i also watch all of them so its show that other than commenting like you did lol
@@CardmarketMagic Yeah, I'm super hyped for that! As a side note, I don't think you need guests to be excellent. Sure, your videos with Karsten are peak UA-cam for me but I think something like your Turbofog video stroke the perfect balance between a casual and funky deck but played well and taken as seriously as it could be. Oh well, the most important thing is honestly that you keep having so much fun that you keep going, so do whatever makes you tick.
This was super fun! I hope y'all are gonna do more of this kind of stuff! It would be neat to see more "Planesbattles" (im coining this term please credit if used) "Next time on Planesbattles: Alara v Zendikar v Ravnika v Dominaria" kinda catchy
Great video, I was hoping when I saw her that someone will take control of Olivia using a single turn steal and her own ability and I am very pleasently surprised that it did happened. Well done Thoralf!
I've realised the three boys main negotiation tactics Jamin: I won't target you with my wacky shit Carl: I'm probably not gonna win so I'll help you win Thoralf: if you'll be my friend I'll stop bullying you
Thus was a great idea. I'd love to see more of this with other sets. Like Tempest block vs mirage block vs etc... Or even do what year was the best so do 4 standard sets combined like this.
This was so amazing friends and just beautiful souls and friends having fun is exactly what the world needs more of :) cheers and have an amazing day all!
Did I miss an explanation of extra rules for the manabases? I kind of would have expected everyone to be severely manascrewed with (almost) no dual lands and manafixing in 5 color decks, but there were actually early plays, everyone got to all 5 colors, a bunch of bombs got resolved... Or did they just draw well?
I think they just drew well. They even mention how lucky Filipa was to get her colors on curve. Either that or there’s some sneaky mana weaving for satisfying content reasons.
@@beefpelican Pretty sure they had a guaranteed extra basic land draw. Around 20:00, everyone had 8 lands down, meaning no one missed a land drop for 8 turns AND they still have multiple cards in hand despite playing multiple cards some turns with minimal extra draw
Hey guys, idea for a video. A little similar to this. - You make decks and play against each other, BUT, your decks MUST contain one and only one, nonbasic card from each set in MTG's history. Do you just build goodstuff piles? Do you try for combos? Do you try to go Kindred/tribal across MRG's rich history? Do you go for an archetype like Spellslinger? Which do you pick, black lotus or force of will?!
I was very critical of last week's video due to the advertisement. So now I feel obliged to say that I wouldn't have minded an ad, that you can purchase entire sets on cardmarket, at all. Great video although some information how you handled basic lands (how many? guaranteed lands in starting hand?) wouldve been great.
You can buy entire sets on cardmarker :) www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Products/Sets But we try not to promote products on our websites in our videos. The Top 5 products for new beginners was earnestly that, products we would honestly recommend to beginners 👍
Bit of an oversight that when she went to kill hushbringer the bastion did not drain as hushbringer stops both etb effects triggered by creatures but also anything triggered on dying.
This was probably the most diplomatic Commander game I've seen from you folks hahaha, regardless of all that, it turns out that the real friends was the 32/32 trampling dinosaur beast we made along the way.
Can you please, please, PLEASE post the "fake" video you put in the early cut scene that shows your Shahrazad game under the table with Andrea? I searched for it and couldn't find...I love your channel so much, it's really fun to watch and I can tell you all enjoy yourselves so much.

eure ideen magic zu zocken sind so kreatiev , ich liebe es !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many basics are in each deck?
Tarkir solely because of fetch lands. They balance Modern around fetches, they never print them into standard (but maybe with the next Tarkir set coming next year), and no doubt every new land that gets designed gets designed around how fetches will impact them. I know fetches came before but out of the 4 sets here it seems like a no brainer. And I didn't even talk about delve.
When double sleeving your brand new commander deck feels like an eternity, just remember that someone had to sleeve 1500 cards for this one episode
Not only that, they had to shuffle those mountains of cards AND barely any of them actually saw play. That's some dedication!
Holy shit I didn’t think of that 😂
Interns I bet! Makes you wonder what type of mana ratio they were running
@@Shinobi-tp3yq More than likely mana/land pile is separated and you can play a basic land each turn hence why each of them somehow manage to obtain domain very early.
@@kobisjerukWould make sense but I didn't see one and those piles looked to be 400+ cards
Thoralf: dresses as dragon
Also Thoralf: plays set where dragons are extinct.
He is the last dragon
He's Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
Yea he went wrong Tarkir :p
I ADORE this concept and would genuinely love to see this premise return several more times. Imagine Ravnica(1) v Ravnica(2) v Ravnica(3) v Ravnica(4) ! Or 4 of your favourite core sets haha
I was so sure Thoralf would be the one playing the Ikoria deck with that outfit lol
Nah, He Looks Like a Dragon of tarkir xD
@@gamedaiv9168But the set he picked has 0 dragons in it.
@@BobertJoe Sure, but dragons are part of the tarkir lore in the alternate Timeline where it Happens, so when I saw the Titel and the thumpnail I was pretty Sure toffel was about to Play tarkir xD
@@gamedaiv9168 it's not an alternate timeline it's the canon one Sarkhan whole point of going to the past was to change the present
Thoralf looks more like a green version the purple dragon Barney.
The firebreath effect. The ‘we all won the game!’ fakeout. And the concept for this game. A+ stuff. Love this channel :3
And the time loop!
And the time loop!
And the time loop!
I think I forgot about the time lo-

That trick Thor pilled with Olivia is WILD.
That's actually a very cool "format". It's not just big decks, it also helps showcasing the thematic strengths (and, well, weaknesses) of the various sets.
The editing is amazing! Especially showing the abilities of cards when they're used in a small text box, makes everything easy to parse
Yes, the editing on this show is always amazing ! Really makes it easy to follow wat's going on.
15:08 that is genuinely the biggest brain move I've ever seen in MtG
indeed!! that's what separates pro players from us mortals
I'm not convinced it actually works, wouldn't the delayed trigger from act of treason remember the original owner and resolve after Olivia's ability resolves?

@@TheRealPlatoyou'll have 2 continuous effects with no dependencies operating on the same layer (Layer 2 - Control). Even with timestamps and timed ability expiration control wouldn't revert.
0:28 I'm old and therefore know that the fetchlands first came out in Onslaught! Don't you forget about my old bordered childhood!
I immediately paused the video to find this comment. I played fetch lands in standard well before Tarkir.
Yeah I remember Onslaught such a fun block
Onslaught was such a fun Type 2 environment.
thoralf also knows this 100%
‘Sharking turn of events’ ‘that was so funny, I’ll let you live’ LMAO
I wonder if a 1v1 bracket of every set to determine the best set ever could be a thing.
I would also love this although it would take forever
It would probably be feasible in an online format, just so everything runs in a decent pace. Would also probably need some sort of anti-bricking rule like everyone starts with 3~4 random lands just to try to prevent non-games from happening.
Wonder what sets would have the advantage. Probably the ones with the best cheap units or with the best interaction? Graveyard effects like flashback or jump-start would probably be really strong just because it guarantees the player always have more options if the game halts to a grind.
This looks like every arena 200 card deck, im excited

Weaponize the murders kills the hushbringer it's a 1/2
@@nartin9soldier died before hush left
"The Lost Shahrazad Subgame" has me dead
8:25 I really like the way the edits look with the card names and text! Good job to whoever designed them!
Imagine drawing a fetch land and having to shuffle that huge pile of cards.
Or playing two Emergent ultimatums, and having to shuffle twice.
Shoutout to whoever had to sleeve all the cards for this episode 😭😭😭
I immediately thought, "Can Olivia steal herself?" And of course, "'It's a Phoenix'" Thoralf thought the same. 😂
Gotta love Thoralf dressing up as a dragon to represent a set where dragons are famously extinct
13:04 Using Olivia to make creatures vampires while having the Investigator out would have been hilarious. 😂
I struggle watching and keeping track of things with MTG gameplay videos, especially with 4 players. The edit on these is amazing and so easy to follow!
Was wondering when the Filipa stuff would get edited, this turned out amazing! Great job gang!
0:02 Toffel looks like such a proud dad. 13/10
Well it kinda snowballed and you kept fighting each other rather than the person with the biggest board at the end, but loved the concept. Lots of great memories.
Im impressed that, using that many cards, 5 colors, and everyone was able to pull something off.

I love this series, and it'd be cool to see block constructed vs each other.
My hands ache at the thought of unsleeving all those decks. LOL
That was so epic! You should definitely do more of these videos with other sets.
Maybe even different formats like modern sets only
Costumes once again never disappoint
This was so much fun 🤩
This was super fun!
I hope y'all are gonna do more of this kind of stuff! It would be neat to see more "Planesbattles" (im coining this term please credit if used)

Great video, I was hoping when I saw her that someone will take control of Olivia using a single turn steal and her own ability and I am very pleasently surprised that it did happened. Well done Thoralf!

Jamin: I won't target you with my wacky shit
Carl: I'm probably not gonna win so I'll help you win
Thoralf: if you'll be my friend I'll stop bullying you
Now, this is how Magic should be played: set vs set! More videos like this please! And don't forget the costumes!
This channel is the only reason I am still engaged with magic in recent years ❤
That was a ton of fun to watch, definitely highlighting why you're my favorite channel. Plus the editing was absolutely amazing!
Idea for the future if you do this again: You can use the invasion of the specific plane as your commander
Amazing video as usual but I would love to have a shuffling of the decks supercut, just the raw footage of the decks being shuffled pretty please 🙏
You guys make magic look fun. I love these random formats you play.
Thoralf with his dragon costume and "hidden" morph cards is giving off real Piff the Magic Dragon vibes here.
27:19 never seen "on cycle" effects, that rules!
This is a profoundly silly idea, and I loved it!
Also, shuffling those piles must've been brutal. xD
Please do more of theses, you guys playing any commander games are fun to watch.
Great concept. Exited to see how it plays out.
The time loop edit was perfect, as was the entire video, well done!
"This goose is now a vampire."
GOOSETARION!?
Thus was a great idea. I'd love to see more of this with other sets. Like Tempest block vs mirage block vs etc...
Or even do what year was the best so do 4 standard sets combined like this.

Not gonna lie, I kinda was hoping for someone to go "I'm representing Homelands!"
Does Homelands have enough cards? I do love my boy, Joven!

Great video, would love to see another one like this! Also, great to see Filipa again!
LOVED Hushbringer with Theros Beyond Death! So fun Getting a turn 3 Kroxa to stick! And also slamming down Clackbridge troll turn 5!
I once lost a game that I could have won because I was dead tired and forgot about the last paragraph on Questing Beast.
Good times.
Thoralf Saying my favorite phrase "Ay dios mio" Made my day. Love this episode!
I loved the part where Thoralf played Act of Treason on Olivia Voldaren! What's going on, does he have some sacrifice effect? Nope, even better!
I would love to see this again with other sets!
amazing idea would love to see more set wars like this
Respect to the editor for 07:10 moment. "I'm gonna mill you out!" - and then we see those freaking towers of cards))
I don’t like to make a big deal out of gender diversity, but as a girl it does feel nice to see other girls on the channel
I like how there wasn't any mana screw.
*Thanks for the Content!*
can't wait for both of these videos so excited 20:16
These plane on plane fights are cool! Maybe we could see Phyrexia in another episode?

Love this theme (and Filipa)!
Throne of Eldraine was my very first draft, so it will always have a special place in my heart
I was worried one of the towers would tumble and mash all cards together. Fun for hours!
I appreciate the shahrazad game reference at 20:16 lol
“So are we just attacking Jamin now?”
15:05 Jamin in is head: CARL NOOOO!!!

KC:" Sure! Which one? Should I get a bag?"
CM: "Try a Schubkarre! 😂 "
Excellent!😆 Please more games like this!
Next time we need to see Alpha vs Fallen Empires vs March of the Machines Aftermath vs Dragon’s Maze
There isn't enough cards from aftermath.. it has what like 50 cards?
really hope cardmarket does this with more planes!
Lutri emergent Ultimatum is NUTS
11:46 We see the Zurgo in Thoralf's hand❤
This is such a brilliant format oh my god
