Good grief what a match, especially the last game. The combo deck combos twice, had a life total over 100, nearly decked out, and still had to worry about the clock from Murktide. And of course the whole thing is being played through by two of the nicest and most talented Magic content creators and accompanied by the channel’s typical high production quality. Bravo Andrea and the lucky viewer, well played Carl, thank you again Cardmarket.
I rarely comment but this was an awesome video. Things I love in this video: - chemistry between Andrea and Carl - them having lots of fun - competitive budget decks - very close game 3 - Adrea comboing off twice on the same game - the editing with the triggers helpers sliding in and out, the animations on the scrys and expressive iteration hits (especially the fetch) Congrats guys, this is Magic content at its peak: friendship, gameplay, ambiant, vulgarisation for newer players, production and editing.
Thank you for making an exception from your usual silence for such a kind comment :) I put a lot of work into this one! And Andrea is always such a gem to have on
@@CardmarketMagic The work really shows, Carl, congrats ! BTW I use the Newpipe app instead of the UA-cam app to watch videos without the ads, which doesn't allow to leave comments, that's why it takes more effort to connect to my youtube account. But don't worry, even if I don't watch the ads (are there ads on your videos? I'm not even sure), the amount of cards I buy on cardmarket is large enough that I don't feel about this 😛. Le bonjour de France et bon week end !
Bonjour bonjour! There are ads because it's youtube but we don't care if you watch them :) as long as you are having fun with the game and enjoying our work, I encourage you to keep saving those minutes of your life by skipping the ads ;) they do add up
I love the way these videos are edited. Especially when the game is put on pause for the pilots to explain their logic behind certain moves makes me feel like I’m becoming a better magic player. Phenomenal job as always.
Shout out to your video editor(s). That match had a lot going on, but it never felt like it was dragging nor did I feel like I missed any gameplay. And there was enough banter between the players to keep it light and fun, but, again, without slowing things down. Excellent work all around. And very much appreciated.
It's just me (Carl) but thank you :) I put a lot of work into this video! :D I knew this game was good after playing it but it was also a complicated one so Andrea had said that the pacing should be really fast, he was right 👍
Usually I see Zuran Orb in land recursion decks which makes sense, you're not really losing value from it. I'm honestly amazed it's so effective in a deck with no land recursion whatsoever
@14:27 NOOO, he forgot Tamiyo's Safekeeping gains 2 life. He could have combo'd right there. Although admittedly, he couldn't attack and win that turn and dies to explosives next turn: he would just have 60 life and some card selection.
Since the Case needs to be sacrificed, he wouldn't have any other source of life gain. If he casts Amalia and then tries to use Safekeeping to proactively gain life, Carl could just Heat in response, since Mengu would be tapped out of the second Safekeeping.
31:00 Y'know, Lightning Bolt is usually a pretty good card. But not so much when your opponent is at 155 life and the only creature they have is a 21/21.
Feels like everybody is saying nice things about Andrea and Carl, wich they totally deseve, but no one is praising what an AMAZING decktech Daniel has made with this list for Amalia. Great work, Daniel!
Daniel's deck was truly 11/10 👌 I lost to it and still was amazed by some of the deckbuikdinf choices :) thank you for taking the time to shout them out
What an absolutely amazing game. I firmly believe that this is so far the best MTG video I've watched. BGM, Editing, the little UI that shows what cards y'all have this is seriously amazing. Great game!! makes me want to pick up my cards and start playing!!
It's probably been said a thousand times already, but I love how you display everything on screen and that you guys always take the time to explain what is happening. Awesome content as always. Last but not least, forza Mengu! ❤
I love all the videos you guys make, but this type of video always really gets me excited. I will drop everything to watch these. Keep up the good work guys
19:00 - Yoooo!!! Did anyone else catch that?! This is why magic pros are half poker face all the time. Andrea was was basically cold to his hierarch dying here having no source of black 🖤 and two Amalias in hand. But he double bluffs Carl by describing exactly the situation he's in and Carl doesn't buy it. Idk many other people that would've been able to get out of that spot. That is was def the match right there
I remeber back in the day in the Inquest magazine you had card lists in the back and some cards had a little description. Zuran Orbs was: evil, evil, evil! Love seeing the card being relevant and "evil" again :)
Depends on the combo deck. Murktide is historically bad against Amulet Titan, Yawgmoth combo, and 5c creativity. It is good against decks like Tron because they don’t really start the game until turn 3.
We did standard already :) but we only did decks that won worlds. Best Pauper Deck Ever is launching next week and the next one we'll work on will be standard but the audience gets to vote 🥳
14:30 Couldn't he have cast the Amelia from his yard using the Case and then cast a Tamiyo's safekeeping, gaining 2 life and starting the chain? Wouldn't have won on the spot, but it would've given him a ton of value.
I thought this too, but Carl has the Engineered Explosives at the ready, and Andrea could have only used one of the 2 Safekeepings in his hand if he went that line
Just to note, there is a finite end point of the Amelia combo that you cant go passed. The second time she goes off, you ended up with like 20 counters on her but she would have ended the combo after she got to 20. You cant even like sac in response to keep going because it is part of the resolution rather than a new trigger.
I love how Carl in detail explains every card in the Murktide deck to the player who's known for playing a lot of murktide. (Yeah I know it's just for the viewers)
Awesome match, as always! SPOILERS Ooof, that Ragavan stealing the Duress. Painful! I don't know if Mengucci would have won if he had the Duress instead, but Carl stealing it definitely meant he lost. Case of the Uneaten Feast really pulled it's weight well in this match. And seeing a Zuran Orb actually do something relevant is always fun!

hey cardmarket would you like to do a series where you play against viewers irl?
@@chessazertyarno We tried it before! But it was too difficult/expensive to find viewers to participate without restricting the participants to only germany
15:00 it was way to win through reanimation because spell for 1G also gains you 2 life
Where I can submit a deck for the next challange?
imagine what will it be to play magic when we got holograms and stuff like that!
"I lightning bolt myself." Now THAT'S value!
He's playing a Death's Shadow deck, right?
...right?
😂
@@runtime256MIrror Universe, and it's 1995.
So did the other deck win technically?
@@necrow4155Yeah, the dirty lifegain loop won.
now *this* is podracing!
always a pleasure to have andrea around. Would be fun if Carl took more of a villain vibe here :D
🤠 I am incapable of being mean to Andrea, he's just such a sweetheart
@@CardmarketMagic quite understandable :D
@@CardmarketMagic DId hear an 'idiot' at 27:52 tho /s
@jaundicedmisanthrope7817 haha no that's "eighty eight"
In this role, Carl should definitely play the villain XD
Also, I miss Mengu
Zuran Orb is incredible in this deck. Such a cool way to give it redundancy that the Pioneer deck doesn’t have
"I bolt myself"
Carl showing he is truly the best magic player, even when losing he wins

My favorite part of the channel is when Carl says a sentence so long that he runs out of breath at the end ❤
I rarely comment but this was an awesome video. Things I love in this video:

- competitive budget decks
- very close game 3
- Adrea comboing off twice on the same game

The Pro-player of the People. Having him pilot the deck of the people is really the way to go.
Carl describing the stack as a queue broke my CS brain
Back in high school my CS teacher introduced the stack data structure with "Who here has played Magic the Gathering™️?"
@@aaronkelly8725 bouncy :)
I love these budget versus episodes, it's fun seeing what's lurking below the surface of big formats! Please keep them coming!
Andrea Mengucci?
IMMEDIATE click, my favourite ranker of card technologies
He's a staple guest on this channel, there's a bunch of videos featuring him. Check them out.
@@olli8545He recently started his own channel too, called Mengu's workshop

@21:02 Mengucci flipping the bird.
Glad someone else caught that 😂
Love to see Andrea playing paper. He's very charismatic, and he's a great fit for the channel when he's available.
VEEEDEO
Hell yeah Modern with Mengu! Love when Mengu's on the channel!
Your editor (editors?) Deserve a raise - your channel's visual formatting for magic games is exponentially better than anything else online.
It's just me Carl but thank you :) I've been making these gameplay videos for years now, I like to think I've gotten pretty good at them
Carl and Andrea are the most chill combination. There is an overload of happiness in their presence.
I love cardmarket
Same
They honestly are great
me too

@@CardmarketMagic I'll Double on the above comment you did a great Job on the pacing things were always engaging and interesting the speed def helped.
These videos are a lot of fun. Love seeing budget, jank, anything outside of meta. And then comparing it to meta decks? 10/10
Sacrifice every last land you have is such a power move. Really cool way of winning the game!
That budget deck was so cool. I think it’s a great idea having Andrea play the budget deck as well. Idk who else could’ve played it that cleanly.
Usually I see Zuran Orb in land recursion decks which makes sense, you're not really losing value from it. I'm honestly amazed it's so effective in a deck with no land recursion whatsoever
A budget versus epsiode that doesn't feel ridiculously unmatched is a hard thing to achieve. Props to Daniel and Andrea, really cool to watch.
Andrea: "I gain 69 life..."
Carl: "Nice."
Well done andrea !!! And well done to the viewer who sent the deck, it was really well constructed to have beaten such a strong opposition :)
Both the gameplay and banter was on point in this one, one of my favorite videos in recent memory, and I don't mean just from this channel.
any video with Mengu is a watch. "While on the stack" has got to be the most triggering phrase in this video haha
The on screen graphics were so nice and helpful to watch the gameplay. Great job!!
Listen, i'm as obsessed with andrea as the next viewer, but this episode was something incredible. really special stuff, all around :)
I almost exclusively play commander, but I love watching your pioneer/modern gameplay! And any video with Andrea is bound to be good.
This is one of my favorite videos yet. Idk why but it just hits the spot seeing my two favorite decks abuse each other
i'm soooooo glad how that panned out. i was on the edge of my seat!!
I love that Carl called that it was a creature combo deck. Awesome video!
That was some truly terrifying strategizing on both of your parts, my god! Well done!
@14:27 NOOO, he forgot Tamiyo's Safekeeping gains 2 life. He could have combo'd right there. Although admittedly, he couldn't attack and win that turn and dies to explosives next turn: he would just have 60 life and some card selection.

I saw this too!!
Love seeing Mengu everytime you guys have him on, he works with your guys vibes really well and always seems like he's having fun :)
31:00 Y'know, Lightning Bolt is usually a pretty good card. But not so much when your opponent is at 155 life and the only creature they have is a 21/21.

"Peanut butter & wait sandwich" was solid gold

This was kind of entertaining. Sans the Ravagan, it reminded me of "old school" Modern.
Nice vid!
This made me want to play modern again. Please show us more pros playing budget brews vs tier 1 decks!
I remeber back in the day in the Inquest magazine you had card lists in the back and some cards had a little description. Zuran Orbs was: evil, evil, evil! Love seeing the card being relevant and "evil" again :)
You can be proud of Carl not missing that "nice", well done 😆
4:23 hey… I saw this combo on Against the odds.
It's also been a pretty serious Pioneer deck for the last few months :)
14:26 was CRUSHING! He had the Tamiyo's safekeeping in hand to gain the life to start the trigger!!!!
Except Carl could have just used unholy heat since Mengucci wouldn't be able to protect his combo
This is one of the best series on the channel
Such a great idea!
Cool deck but funny to see a combo deck against murktide! I haven't seen the ending but I feel like Murktide feasts on combo decks!
Depends on the combo deck. Murktide is historically bad against Amulet Titan, Yawgmoth combo, and 5c creativity. It is good against decks like Tron because they don’t really start the game until turn 3.
Two Unholy Heat was seriously glued to Carl’s hand literally every game.
Excited to see some cool modern gameplay!
I was torn, cause I love watching Carl win, but Mengu was the underdog (which is a hilarious thought)
Always a pleasure to see Mengu pilot these decks 🙌🏽
Is understanding the queue queue on the stack ? haha. I love these episods
Let’s all appreciate that Andrea started his game winning combo on 69 life
Truly, if ever it was needed, that is evidence that he is, indeed, the Nicest guy.
that was absolutely sick lol! great video and editing as always
A Cardmarket's video with Mengu is always a must watch video🔥🔥
It was an excellent video, you are guys are at the top of the game!
@30:31 That was important. Thank you.
Andrea Mengucci, the man who is involved in every infinite/+100 life game on this channel
Great video! Always love seeing Andrea on the channel
Babe wake up, new cardmarket video just dropped
Mengucci is a man of the people!!! love it when you guys have him on
Yoh Carl. Andrea's in Berlin again? Always happy to see him at cardmarket! I hope you make a quest for the best Standard deck soon.
We did standard already :) but we only did decks that won worlds. Best Pauper Deck Ever is launching next week and the next one we'll work on will be standard but the audience gets to vote 🥳
Love to see the underdog win, amazing deck, Daniel is a Legend ❤
30:29 Andrea: I'll gain 69 life

I thought this too, but Carl has the Engineered Explosives at the ready, and Andrea could have only used one of the 2 Safekeepings in his hand if he went that line
@@ILCEM-YAm I missing something? Karl needs 2 open mana to activate the Explosives, right?
@@jonaderjona5805 yes, but Amalia can't kill Carl until Andrea's next turn because she was just played, so Carl will have a turn to use the Explosives
If Andrea casts Tamiyo's safekeeping, he's tapped out and Carl can just cast Unholy Heat in response.
Just to note, there is a finite end point of the Amelia combo that you cant go passed. The second time she goes off, you ended up with like 20 counters on her but she would have ended the combo after she got to 20.

Andrea flipping the finger on Carl at 21:02 is just gold
He's not doing it purposely 😅 he just does that with his hands. It's a comment he gets on a lot of his videos
If you end a video smiling, you know it was good
4:46 as a computer scientist, I have to say, magic stack is a stack, not a queue...
Yep. Queue is First in, first out. Stack is last in, first out.
It does hurt when he says queue
It's always a pleasure to have andrea in a video.
The explore trigger would have allowed him to put the non-land back on top of the deck. The risk to decking would be much lower.
this is a really great video format you should do more of these for sure
Mengu is the GOAT. The cardmarket crew is pretty awesome too. ❤
Love these gameplay videos. Like the silly stuff, but this is what made this channel awesome in the first place
Carl's single neuron: Sherlock Holmes.
Andrea's cultured galaxy brain: Detective Conan.
14:20 Mengu can combo here? Play Amalia and then cast safekeeping on the cenote scout to gain two?
He could, but he would've been blown out by unholy heat. He said something different though, which was a bit odd
"Nice" -Andrea, upon seeing his good friend the bird lawyer hit the table
Andrea has the best pronunciation of Amalia in the pro tour and content creator circuit
Amazing games :D
Love the scries and itterations edit, nice production value
Gotta love the Aguirre card having a wrath effect on it
Was not expecting a Detective Conan reference!! ❤
I love Carlmarket and their 4th member: Mengu
