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.
I loved the best of standard decks played in worlds. I would like to see the best banned standard deck of all time
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 UA-cam video on some of the top banned standard decks, would recommend watching.
Old Magic *and* Frank Karsten? You've made my day!!
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
I love how chill and knowledgeable Karsten is. He's my favorite Wall of Famer.
Your channel is a gift that keeps on giving. Please keep doing your thing. More retro Magic! More Frank!
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 !
Man, Recurring of the Fittest is such a messed up combo XD
Great video as always and great to see Frank back :3
One of the best magic products ever released. So sad they stopped that tradition (unlike pokemon that still does these). Those champion decks are such a cool thing and actually a great tool to re-experience the history & evolution of magic the gathering. Hope they gonna make these someday again..!
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.
I absolutely love these historic matches and seeing Frank deftly explain the history and nuisances of the game from that time. More please!
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 remember as it was yesterday, Cursed Scroll was the most wanted card of T2 in the day, amazing to see this kind of content. Excellent stuff, congrats! =)
My favourite story of Mono red was when my favourite UA-cam Channel from Berlin played a deck full of little monkés against a deck full of thunderbolts 🎉
Hahahaha good times :) I'm happy you enjoyed it
Great video! I always love old standard content, but the added bonus of frank karstens mtg historical knowledge is just amazing!
Bring us more of these! This was awesome to see!
My fondest memory of these was a red-green deck from 2000 that introduced me to Plow Under, a vicious spell that would somehow both manascrew and manaflood an opponent at the same time.
We will hopefully be doing one of these for every year :)
This was the format I started playing in! I started buying magic cards with Ice Age and Alliances and I remember loving the new sets of Mirage Visions and Weatherlight Tempest so much. Back in the day when a Hammer of Bogardan cost more than a Force of Will, we played with real creatures! None of this hand-holding where everything has an ETB and 3 upsides 😂
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"
I love this video! Brian Selden's deck left a huge impression on me as a kid; it was the first time I'd seen that "toolbox" approach to deck building and a mana base that could support 5 colours. Wish they'd bring back the world championship decks, it's such a good way to introduce people to competitive play.
the old days of magic the gathering. very nostalgic-feeling, even though i wasn't there during the inception of mtg. thank you for more history lessons, cardmarket!
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!
How is this not the menu for every stream out there? Provide all information you need and does not overcrowded the screen. Displays triggers when they occur which allows the viewer to follow along with combos. Looks clean as hell and isn't obtrusive of the play field. Hats off to whoever designed it
Thank you :) it took me a lot of trial and error through many videos, but I'm broud of what it looks like now
Truly classic Magic - love it! Thank you for this awesome blast from the past. Love it, and Frank brings a real understanding of what classic Magic is like. Love it!
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.
So this was awesome.... 😍 Thanks Carl for making this happen. And thanks to Frank and Jamin for the piloting and the context of the era. 🎉
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)
These retro videos are great! Obviously I'm biased because this is the Magic I learned to play growing up: I remember buying the French equivalent of Duelist magazine to understand how the stack worked and I'm still conditioned to think about creatures' P/T & CMC as basically "needing to be balanced" (and the way that was done back then looks insane now, 11 year old me was stoked to have Balduvian Horde in his deck lol). Great work as always guys. Loved Frank's chill professorial vibes and Jamin's glee at the deck popping off. And kudos on the editing, it just keeps getting better and better.
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
Would love to see you guys play pre modern. Its a great format and really fills the nostalgia
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!
These gold bordered championship decks were an amazing product imo.
I really wish they just re-released these along with printing the rest of the world championship decks to celebrate the anniv instead of those crappy Magic30 boosters.
Welcome to the club! This product was cheap and wonderful for the game!
That was a really neat video! It's cool seeing what Magic was like before I started playing in 2004.
I absolutely love that Jackal Pup, a creature that burns you when it's hit, was the Ragavan of its day. This back in time series with hall of famer Dr. Karsten is such a treat.
this is like candy for me. your videos are always fantastic, but this might be my favorite since temurgy versus prismatic black! bringing frank karsten on is always a delight, and old magic makes me so engaged and interested. great work!
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 :)
Player here from 94...thank you for showcasing our gameplay from back then
Always a pleasure to see Frank !
It is :)
I like how any card Frank played, he had to add the qualifier of "It was the best we had!" lol
there had to be something better than a bear that could only sometimes block 😂
@@YourAdHere4 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.
My favorite Mono red deck I played was my friends Goblins to the face deck. It was back in 2015 or so, there was nothing too special about the deck, but I was still able to place at the first tournament I entered. It left a long love for TCG, collecting, and learning about the game.
my dad had all these decks and they were a HUGE part of him teaching me to play magic as a kid! crazy watching someone who really knows what theyre doing piloting that nightmare/survival deck and remembering 6 year old me just randomly playing cards lmao
Kudos to the animator that created the transitions, cool stuff, reminds me of Hades cinematics.
Thank you :) I really loved making this video
I just got done reading that romcom MTG Manga (that was more like a meta retrospective tbh) and its feels nice seeing "familiar" names
I feel old watching this as a history episode haha. 1998 was just yesterday!? I was 20 years old then, playing mono red and mono green.
I'm going on 27 born 97, take that in friend
Still got 4 Championship decks at home from 2003, was such fun to play friends with the RB Goblins or the GW Daniel Zink decks, still one of my favourites till today!
We filmed a video with Frank with rhe Goblin Bidding deck! :D but I was playing Madness. Such a fun time
@@CardmarketMagic cant wait to see that one !
Nice to see cards and rules I know and understand.
Was only ever a casual player but this era was bang the middle of my time playing.
Loving these videos highlighting decks from way back in the day.
The recurring nightmare and survival of the fittest deck was a beast.
I remember buying the Kai bude counter spell mad deck with rainbow efreet and grindstone and immediately losing friends.
Mono red was my first modern deck in form of Saffron Olive’s budget 8-whack. I absolutely loved it!
Ahh, the '90's! Those were the days! Every other month I'd pick up The Duelist, or Scry, or Inquest. The local K-Mart had box sets of MTG that included cards, it's where I picked up three Royal Assassins, glass beads that doubled as counters, and a small black, felt bag to hold the beads in. A mile away was the LGS, though I didn't call it that. I called it "the Card Shop." The Card Shop had an endless supply of Fallen Empires and Homeland, and later the Championship decks (the Finkel deck was always sold out). At the time I was playing four player games of MTG with my friends(I ran a 187 deck with the three Royal Assassins, two Nekrataals, and two Avatars of Woe). I didn't get to play the Championship deck I had against my friends, but I did get to use the blanks cards that came with it. They were awesome! they could be tokens, proxies(only if I actually owned the proxied card) or a card I made up that was almost always overpowered. Pretty sure it, like two revised dual lands I had, disappered when I let my son borrow my cards. Ahhh, the '90's!
Watching someone monkey a scroll brings back some seriously nostalgic memories. Loved this episode so much!
I'm just now getting back into MtG, but I grew up playing it with my parents and siblings. All the cards we played with were from the 80s/90s and we didn't really play an official format, but we played something akin to 4-5 player legacy with no ban list. Between my dad's black gravedigger deck, and my mom's Hurloon Wrangler deck with board wipes, things god pretty heated lol
I remember seeing gravedigger as a teenager and it blew my mind how much value it brought! :) good memories
I had one of these goblin decks as a kid. my mom got it for me in 5th grade not realizing people would be unhappy when I had gold bordered cards.
Ooh, blast from the past! I played with both of those decks when they originally came out. It was such a power leveler for casual players when these decks dropped each year and you could get hard to come by cards for like $15 at your local game store in the town mall such as EB Games or KB Toys or Waldenbooks. Reading up on all the power combos in the latest issue of Inquest, which you had to subscribe to in order to know the value of all the singles each month. And always being on the lookout for that insanely priced $400 Black Lotus at some unsuspecting small town hobby shop.
Reanimation decks were so good in 98. I used to run Living Death around that time and made it to semis in a PTQ in Atlanta and then Urza block came out and I ran Replenish.
The comparison between ragavan and jackal pup cracked me up 🤣 imagine there faces seeing a turn 1 monkey back then lol old magic is still my favorite just something about those older cards that takes me back
Great video! To see decks like that in play is really unique! Thanks guys!
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
That Fireblast kill!!! I loved using that as a finisher back in the day :D
The first limited event I ever played was a Tempest sealed deck at Your Move Games. Was 3-0 and round 4 my opponent played Cursed Scroll. I read the card, looked over the board, re-read the card, and then got crushed. Scroll was so OP during Tempest era limited.
I still have a boat load of my World Championship Deck cards sleeved up in my cube. Plenty of those gold bordered Wastelands floating around in commander decks as well haha
YES OLD DECKS, I need more of these videos
You will get more :) We filmed a whole series of these with Frank and will be releasing one every 3-4 weeks
I remember playing that exact red deck back in the day. It took forever to trade for 4 ball lightnings and 4 cursed scrolls. Everything else was pretty cheap.
I LOVE THESE! I will always enjoy the flashback episodes, whether it's 90s or 10s or whenever. Thanks squad!
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 think when Jackal Pups blocked Verdant force Frank should have taken 30 damage from their ability xD great video anyways - it was fun to watch🙂
Making me feel my Magic age. Another video series that might be fun is taking classic decks from the early days and updating them with a few new cards
Can’t wait for the opposition plus squirrel nest deck! Got that one when I was younger. It was so cool!
Yes! I'm so looking forward to editing that video :) I also played it a long time ago
Man the tempest block was so awesome that’s when I really starting getting into magic loved the recurring nightmare deck and that suicide black on the article was one of my favorites at the time. I remember playing unsleeved cards on the food court tables at the mall with coin tokens for the verdant force. We used skittles too. Need to say there were no tokens what ever you had laying around was a token I would like to see quarters as tokens next time, you could tell they were tapped
Memory Lane with Frank Karsten, or maybe Time Walking With Frank Karsten. I feel this type of VS series just needs a cool name. As a lot of the time When Frank Karsten is in a video or has written an article I normally learn something.
Hope we get more Frank and more historic standard decks as it is so much fun seeing players that were maybe too young and never got a chance to see how magic was played and their reaction to how these decks played.
We actually filmed 5 of these with Frank! And if they do well, we hope to do one for each year. The series doesn't have a name, but behind the scenes we cannot it Frank Karsten Story Time :)
My friend played this Survival against me in the 90’s or early 2000’s and it felt so broken and beautiful. Great games.😆
Wow, The recurring nightmare deck looks so fun to play ! i love survive of the fittest who can tutor any creature you need and prepare big ones in GY at a same time that's so sweet !
That was great. Was rooting hard for the Frank and the Sligh deck but on the draw the matchup seems pretty harsh :( Walls, walls everywhere!!! That aside, great content, please do more of this!!!
😂😂😂 I remember playing this exact match on my school desk with my friend in year 7 at school . the nostalgia is killing me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Rec/Sur was my jam back in the day. I miss it a lot. Tradewind Riders used to be amazing.
Honestly, even without the Recurring Nightmare the Rec/Sur deck looks super fun to pilot.
All those synnergies and combos are so sweet
It's really cool how Tortured Existence decks in pauper play so similar to Recurring Survival
Great video, really great. Definitely need more of this series!
Ideally, we'll be doing one of these for each year :)
This is such an amazing video! I really hope we see a lot more of this kind of thing! And I have to give major Kudos to Jamin for piloting RecSur incredibly well!
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
I love how Cursed Scroll is an artifact that can deal 2 colorless damage. Meaning it can kill annoying creatures with protection like, white knight, black knight, order of the ebon hand, order of the white shield, etc.
Seeing these games explains why so many old cards reference walls specifically, they seem much more powerful matched up against the creatures back then, nowadays you rarely see them outside of niche defender tribal decks
I had never thought about that! That's fascinating
This was enjoyable and fascinating. Thanks!
As someone who's played since 96, I have to chime in here: The strange interaction he cites here concerning batches & giant growth actually only existed for a brief period between 4th & 5th edition (which was released in 97), so the 98 pro tour did indeed use the stack as introduced in 5th... Also, EVERYONE used sleeves & playmats, there seems to be this myth that people didn't because in early pro tour footage, when filming the top 8 they would ask players to de-sleeve to prevent camera glare. There may have only been 2 colors of sleeves to choose from, but every deck @ every PTQ & JSS I played @ in the 90's had them...
Old school Magic? Subscribed!
I am just never disappointed. You are the best !
That is so nice of you to say :D
can't go wrong with content like this
I know it's fun looking back on the old decks. I know when I got back into Magic after being out for more than 10 years I'd look at my old decks and ask "how could I play this now?" In so many cases any creature from the day has a strictly better Modern card (and this was just 2019) but that wasn't true with many of the spells. Give that Nightmare deck a modern mana base and the Sligh deck modern creatures and take a new look at things.
Oh, we have numbers to show how strong these spells would be with modern creatures! :D survival + nightmare are still one of the better archetypes in cube, and Sligh is still a staple of almost every standard. I made a whole video about it :)
ua-cam.com/video/RbqP2T2_tGE/v-deo.html
Great video as always! Frank Karsten is such a nice and knowledgeable guest.
I wish these World Championship deck games were in a Playlist.
"barely 2 when this came out"
Wow, really rubbing in my age. lol
I really miss the Extended format from the late 90's to about 2007 when I had left Magic until I got back into it because of Commander in 2017.
tbh making a one mana uncounterable giant growth would be dope
I‘m kinda always rooting for Frank in these videos. Seems like such a nice and knowledgeable guy. It’s hard to keep composure loosing like in that last match.
That last game was a massacre. The fact that Frank could still laugh through it is really impressive :)
Imagine dropping a Ragavan into that era. Powercreep is REAL...
Cannot believe they allow this combo deck on a tournament. It would be overpowered right now, imagine how it was time ago...
what really happened with cursed scroll is 'dump my hand and play 4 of's'. I don't know how many times back in the day I got hit in the face with a cursed scroll with my opponent having multiple cards in hand, they were just all the same... As for champion decks, the only one I ever owned was 5 color black (which we saw in the best decks of all time series).
Frank hit the aggro player’s nightmare: drawing your creatures when you need burn spells. I think if he drew 3 Incinerates/Shocks at the end instead of 3 Jackal Pups he could’ve won with those and his Fireblast
I had the UB psychatog deck back then. Playing with it was one of those next level moments for me.
We filmed a video with that deck and Frank :) expect it to come up in the following months
Ralph sounds like a real magic player.
wait, channel fireball? so thats the origin of their name?! omg i love this history videos :D
It is! It was the first famous MTG combo :)
Oh man, the good old days. This was near the height of my competitive MTG experience (Qualified for the Pro Tour 3 times in Tempest sealed, Tempest block, and then Extended, but they were all Eurasian stops, so I got to go to 0 of them as a 14 year-old American) , and man, it was just a lot of fun. Power levels were absolutely bonkers, and RecSur almost killed Extended over the next year or two.
What did you play at the time? I'm sorry to hear about not being able to attend the pro tour 3 times
@@CardmarketMagic I qualified with Red/Blue with lobotomy as a sideboard option for the wacky combo decks.
Extended at the time had: Counterspell, Force, Dissipate, Arcane Denial, Dismiss, Mana Leak. And you got to pair that with Bolt and Incinerate, plus Capsize, which won you long games, Whispers of the Muse, Browse, and Impulse for card draw.
You only ran a small number of creature threats. Before Urzas block hit (which the pro tour decks would include, but qualifying season it before then), it was crap like Frenetic Efreet (2/1 flyer for 1RU that on a coinflip would return to your hand instead of dying) or the old standby, Mahamoti Djinn. A teammate of mine, James Wise, who did get to go, had a version with Sedge? Troll, a 3/3 regenerator.
I also had helped test the Blue/Green variant, which dropped a lot of the control angle and ran River Boa, Joraels Centaurs, Erhnam Djinn, and enough counters to stop removal spells.
I was partial to Red/Blue though.
The later iterations of Green/Blue would almost get me into another Pro Tour as a 4CG (4 color green) aggro deck that ran the dumbest land suite ever (City of Brass, Mishras Factory, Treetop Village, Karpuslan forest, 1 Brushland, a couple Gemstone mines and basic forests) and ran Mana dorks, River Boa, Albino Troll, spike Feeder, protected with the buyback enchantment destruction (allay) and abeyance out of white, bolt and incinerate out of red, and Arcane Laboratory (paired with allay) as an answer to the non-Oath combo decks, and burn.
Finished second, losing to the same High Tide / RecSur / whale deck that beat me in swiss.
Tempest block was Survival Awakening. Wall of Blossoms, Tradewind rider, Awakening, Capsize, Spike Weaver/Feeder, 8-12 counterspells. Some versions Ran portcullis (4 cost artifact, if 2 or more creatures are in play, you exiled new creatures until portcullis left play), some ran ertai for an on-board counterspell, but the aggro decks in that era couldnt answer awakening anyway, so portcullis was overkill. You'd bounce creatures until you could stabalize, then start bouncing lands. Once you could capsize + tradewind on your turn, you won. The deck was a lot of fun to play and roughly 0 fun to play against. Its essentially the shell of the Recurring survival deck, only instead of all the fun utility creatures and graveyard interaction, it was just control. Monoblack and white (non-humility) couldnt beat infinite weavers, red couldnt beat infinite feeders, and you'd eventually choke them down to only having 1 spell a turn, which you countered with a buyback counterspell, tradewind their land for the turn, then draw to replace your buyback cost, and could win in 20 tradewind attacks if necessary.
I vote you send Ralph the deck you had to buy so he can expand his collection. If I won, that's what I'd prefer.
Haha thanks, I'm doing fine with the ones I have. Let someone else enjoy this awesome product as well.
You should apply and say this in your comment :) it would be a wonderful gift for him, hmbut we thought we would give the community a go at experiencing these decks. Still, Ralph definitely deserves it!
I used to play Goblin Digging team in my sligh during the heydays of wall of blossoms. In my maindeck.
Magic was so simple back then, I'm getting back into it because of your channel, but man I'm not sure if I'd be able to get all of the new rules and keywords.
I'm happy our content brought you back to the game we love :) and yes, all the new mechanics can be overwhelming, but luckily they usually have the rules text explained on the card now
I'm thinking it might be neat to see some 2HG content. There are some cards that are better in 2HG than 2 player magic. (Biggest one I've found so far might be Scheming Symmetry)
Ah yes, I love these old standard videos
Would love to see this Sligh deck vs Atarka Red. I would also like to see the a Challenger Deck challenge.
I still have my Squirrel Opposition deck. I was just starting back then and I bought it thinking it's a great bargain. Didn't knew it's gold bordered, have different back and not tournament legal.
Ralph, you're a legend!
He is :)
Thanks!
20:55 He could "Put the damage on the stack" and remove the counters from Spike Feeder to both kill the goblin and gain life. Back in the days, damage used stack.
I started shortly before damage was taken off the stack. Mog Fanatic was so insane before the rule change but I understand and respect the reasons for it.
Monored made me cry when I first played with some random cards from 10 packs...
These videos are awesome ! Thank you guys :)
Thank you for watching them :) therefore enabling us to make them
awesome video! Please do more similar content. Maybe do one video for each year of the world championship decks? Love Frank, so invite him to Cardmarket more often.
It's like you read our mind! Because we recorded 5 of these with Frank, and hope to invite him back to do one for each year if these do well :D
lord.. I just realized I have a VHS of magic championship older then this deck
Ooooh :) you should upload it online if you can and it's not already there. That footage is probably incredibly rare by now
These are my favorite episodes, I love to see some history of Magic. I beg you, play with some 7th edition cards!
If this series does well, I'd really like to do one for each year :) 7th Ed included
