Love how you break it down simple enough for people who don't know all the cards. Always click on your videos because I know I'll understand it. Great for beginners.
You're welcome!
Ditto
Same here! Also love chinchillas x3
I've been playing this game since the 90s, and I still don't know what most of the cards do XD. I really gotten into pioneer lately and it's a blast
Topdeck that won my game:
Untap
Upkeep
Draw...
A swamp
My opponent wins
Yugi here with heart of the cards moments
I tot its darby brothers from jojo adventures
I was bored so did some math, I assume that glory bringer is 4 copies. He was on turn 9 so he had drawn from the deck 9 cards in addition to his starting hand of 7. By the start of turn 9 he would have cleared 15 cards leaving about 45 cards in deck. He had, at this point, had a 1/11.25 or a little under 9 percent chance to draw a glory bringer.
Now due to this being red he also most likely had burn spells, if he drew a bolt he could have stalled for more turns. Even if its just a playset of the one bolt we saw in game that increases the chances to like 1/7 which bumps it up to 15 percent at minimum. That would not have guaranteed a win but at least gives a chance.
Tldr: he had about a 1 in 11 chance to get the card he needed to win at that moment. With that said if we add other answers he may have its goes up quickly
@@rayzeckz4573 fun fact original manga Yugi would have immediately been able to send Darby to the shadow relm (or much worse) due to his cheating and how his magical powers used to work
11:00 this was the mistake: not pumping twice. The second scrapheap is useless. Putting the opponent to 3, and thus having 2 lethal fliers would've meant there would be no card that could be top-decked to stop the win.
The last turn Pinto had was also misplayed. Play the scrapheap to crew the vehicle and swing for lethal is the right play, there's no card in opponent's deck that could have saved him.
Or just play both scrapheaps. Pinto wanted to lose this.
Or just sac 3 arrtifsct creatures to pia so the others can’t block and win
also he could kept the early energy to pump it up with lifelink
Yeah yeah but we still here backsitting while he was under pressure and lost to top decks
This was my year. I won every local standard tournament with this Darby deck. I will some times go back and watch this pro tour, just for pure nostalgia for when MTG was good and fun for me.
Thank you for saying "for me." People seem to think that if it's not fun for them it's not fun for anyone sometimes.
@@AngelusNielson eh the game is not that fun anymore compared to before, commander and mh ruined the game
@@impow5649 No, UR wrong. *shrugs*
@@impow5649 care to elaborate? I started playing Commander a few years ago, what about it turned you off?
It was treasure tokens, right?
@@abigcupofwater well wizards started designing standard cards for commander specifically, the other big issue is that it created a big separation with casual and competitive magic, and while I think there is nothing wrong with casual play, you get a lot more commander than Standard or Modern showing up to events, on top of the design hurting both of the formats, and I could also get into the Modern Horizons rant but that's a different story
Looking forward to seeing more of these beginner friendly recaps of past legendary plays, great content I can share with my less experienced friends
.. and if I may suggest, the PT semi-final between Kibler and Jon Finkel ending in triple galvanic blast might fit your criteria
Sounds great!
I must say this is one of his best videos in awhile. He should do more long ones like this 😊
Correct me if im wrong - when Darby was on 4 hp, with 1 card, Pinto blows up the vehicle, thopter and one scrapheap to prevent all the opponents creatures from blocking, then attack with Pia, Scrapheap and chainwheeler. Abrade only kills one and Darby gets 5 to the face. That was missed lethal right there
First game I ever won, super new to magic started playing during the Origins/Battle for Zendikar sets. I was playing mono red because it was the easiest thing to understand at the time. My opponent was playing big, bad Eldrazis. I had burned most of them several turns in, and the opponent played Ulamog. I had no creatures left on the field and the Ulamog had already attacked once. I had maybe 5 life left, I didn't have enough cards in my library to withstand another attack, and before they ended their turn, they played Endless One with 10 +1 counters. All I had left on my side of the field was Pyromancer's Goggles. I topdecked an Act of Treason, copied it with the goggles, stole the Ulamog and Endless One, and swung for the exact 20 life they had to win the game. I was super stoked.
Enjoyed the video, but I'd argue that Pinto not hitting the fifth land (admittedly something that happens to Rx aggro more than many other decks due to the low curve) was just as impactful to him losing the game - that Siege-Gang Commander would have straight up ended things. But that's ultimately Magic - Pinto had a great start; Darby had a great end, and we got to watch a great game as a result.
Ya boy top decking an abrade and then the glory bringer for the win is the exact reason I don't enjoy standard. Pinto was dominating the game but two cards de-railed his pro tour win. Dude looked in shock when he saw the dragon slam on the table.
That was amazing... thank you Nikachu for the video!
I remember this game and it was so insane to watch turn by turn. I didnt see the win coming at all.
What really bothered me about Pinto was that look of “disbelief” at the end. The reason he did that is because he wanted a judge call on the triggered ability of Darbys Kari Zev. His position is that Darby didnt audibly announce the trigger in time and therefore wouldnt get the attacking Ragavan token which would keep him alive. You can see that Darby did drop the token after the Glorybringer exert but Pinto said he didnt audibly “announce” it. Overall it was just a slimy thing to do in my opinion, to try to win based on a vague technicality. Darby earned that one, shake his hand, accept defeat dude.
I don’t play magic and have struggled to understand the rules since I was in grade school. I enjoy your breakdowns they’re entertaining and informative especially for someone just trying to learn the flow of the game
Magic's most underrated Pro Tour moment.
I did a very similar thing in the last round of a 5k against Gerry Thompson and I drew the last vengevine in my deck to steal a win! Obviously much smaller stakes lol
I barely even lurk around competitive magic, so I don't know much about what goes on in terms of metagame etc, but these match stories are always so cool!
Excellent video! It was very intense
This moment is one of the best of this year in Mtg.
"finally having a big butt pays off" I literally laughed out loud with how serious this statement, dead pan looking straight into the camera jesus christ! xD
One time I was loosing really bad. Then I top decked a f***ing land! Shoutout to Francis
lmao
he truly is a "GLORY BRINGER"
That was NUTS!!!🎉 I like your videos they are really really good thank you.
Love the content, keep going Nikachu!
Thank you! Will do!
Nikachu makes me feel cheated. I paid full price for this seat but I only needed the edge of it. This game was a nail biter and the Who Wants to be a Millionaire music was perfect
Crew is sort of like Banding. People just don't notice... :)
The only top-deck I did that was good enough to speak about, was at a tournament against a modern green elves deck. I was playing GR Tron. I won the first game, he won the second one. At the third game, I knew that he had cards against my lands from the side, so I mullig to 6 and I kept an hand with 4 lands, between Tron lands and Groves. As expected, he break my lands twice, however both times I put them back, once from the hand, and the second time drawing the exact land he destroyed. Seeing that, he fuc*ed up, leave the table and concede to me the victory, even if he was able to go on with the game and maybe win the match.
When you win by bringing your opp down to exactly 0 we call that a gentleman's win
At 6:08 its very funny to portuguese speakers when you say something about turninf up the hit and "Pinto comes out" because pinto is also use as weenie.
Anyway. fun video
My opening hand had 2/3 things I needed for a combo and I drew into the third turn 4 or 5.
I run Muldrotha and drew into a card that let me put Triplicate Titan in the graveyard, then was able to kill it and bring it back every turn. Fun stuff
I love this format! ❤️
The last Pro Tour I played was Dublin 2013. on the PTQ finals we were tied 1-1, I was playing jund and my oponent monogreen, I got stuck on 4 lands with 3 Thragtusk on my hand and had to chump block with Olivia, he had 2 predator Oozes, I was at 1 life, he played his third Ooze and I topdeckes my only severe the bloodline, then land 5 to play 3 Thragtusks in a row.
Glorybringer the strongest creature in the deck? Even with Ragavan being in there. Impossible!
When I ran a mono G module deck at GP Birmingham, I needed to top-deck a Ghalta to win. Ghalta said hi, and yay followed.
The face of his opponent.
I think after this he 'chain whirled' his deck in the trash.
I was once in a game of commander, it was just me and my opponent left, and he had 4 blightsteels (he was playing Brudiclad) and I topdecked devastation tide. Went on to win after that, felt pretty good 😊
03:44 That always paid off, sir. Always.
I’ve never been this early. Great video to start my morning. Thanks Nikachu!
You're Welcome!
Stylin' mountains there on the left
Bloody hell. What a nice match!
I'm just happy it was two red decks battling at the highest levels for a pro-tour win.
I was playing my first game ever at my LGS. It was a seven player game,and I was playing my Krenko,mob boss deck. After a few turns, I had 16 goblins ,Krenko on the field ,and the table had 32 or less life. It came to my turn, and I top decked Purphoros, god of the forge.I played Purphoros, and no one had any responses,so I tapped Krenko to make 16 goblins,dealing 32 damage to my opponents, winning the game.
That must have felt amaaaazing
Where you allowed to come again? :P
@@RuudAwakening it did feel wonderful, until the second game,when the table ganged up on me and wiped me out!🤣 And ,yes I was allowed back.😄
@@taurincochran3398 That tends to happen 😆
My Krenko deck retired, because the commander never gets allowed to stay for long. But now is a full-on Purphoros spam dem critters deck.
Whenever I hear people ask for a fast game "Got that covered for ya!"
Winning or not, it makes certainly for a fast intense game.
I remember top decking a board wipe against an agro player when I was playing blue white control
"Finally having a big butt pays off"
[Sir Mix-A-Lot enters the chat]
"Now YOU LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHI-"
I dont even play magic, dont understand half of is being showed but still its a lot of fun.. nice video!
The look on pinto's face at the end. thats draining
He lost because he used the Aethersphere Harvester's activated ability too early. If he did it when it was a 4/5 instead of a 3/5 he would have survived with 1 life at the end. So the Glorybringer would have stabilized but not won on the spot.
That’s a really nice line you discovered!
Top deck W's really make you believe in a little magic in the cards man. Even just playing against your buddy, you pull that card and you gotta stay calm but you're like, "IT IS TIIIIIIIIIIIIME....."
once in a game of modern and was once getting beat prety bad and was at one life with a strangleing grasp on me top decked a crush contraband and won the game
I love you video's man! I only mis your older intro's. Hello its Nickachu merfolkmaster!
you still hear that sometimes on my stream channel nikachumtglive
*It aint callled glorybringer for nothing xD that top deck for two rounds were clutch*
nice draw bro, gg
That was truly insane
That was glorious !
Love your content
Seems to me a Goblin Chainwhirler top-deck would've prolonged the game, Darby being able to force chumps in a turn or two, but that would've given Pinto a chance at a land for Siege-gang Commander and game-ending face damage,
At 10:50 Gonzalo could have gained 4 life by paying the energy counter, which would have actually won him the game. Also pumping twice was a good idea (thus gaining 5 life).
Lmao Pinto's face 14:14.. we've all been there. That wtf just happened moment 😆🤮
Just recently topdecked a Grand Master of Flowers in a game where my opponent had a Kaldheim Vorinclex that was pumping each turn and I won the game by sheer attrition. Never say die folks, never say die!
Man's lost to a 1-2 slap from a Dragon and Monkey.
Just found you I’ll sub like the way you explain stuff
Thanks!
My opponent had been very quickly building a scrute swarm army with fetch lands and sorcery. I was staring down at least 4 dozen and only had 2 Shambling Ghast in play. I top deck Meethook massacre, used Ghast for 2 treasures, he played another Scrute next turn but no land, top decked a dusk mangler, opponent scoops. Felt like the MC in a childrens card game anime.
oh my god lets gooooo wow wtf this is freaking crazy the one card
Pinto got refried 😂
Glad to see Ragavan has been stinking up games for years
I top decked Mindswipe in a really close game. My opponent had lethal on board if they just attacked, but they decided to cast their Siege Rhino to assert dominance, letting me kill them with Mindswipe :) That was a good win.
I once topdecked a Deathbringer Regent in a Commander game. I didn’t won that round but after that, the game was mine.
I top decked a shock when my opponent was at 2 life
My favorite win by top deck is still Lightning Helix off the top.
Was that who wants to be a millionaire music playing quietly during that abrade drop? Lmfao
this is what is usually referred to as a "bad beat"
I had a game in a local event against dredge. I was playing boggles, I won first game and sided in RIP, it came right in my opening hand, I slam it on my second turn, opponent conceded. It was most satisfying game ever, cause I hate dredge!
Topdecked a Destroy Evil yesterday, used it to destroy my own Citizen's Arrest to make the opponent draw a card and lose their last point of life when their Phyrexian Rager re-entered the battlefield. So satisfying.
This is so dramatic hahaha incredible
I play mono red burn in modern. Many years ago, I had just started getting into modern. I run Thunderous Wrath in my deck (still do).
I was playing against blue delver.
I had 3 life left, 0 Cards in hand, no creatures. He had 4 or 5 life left, and a flipped Delver (3/2 insectile aberration).
On my upkeep, I said "there's only one card that can save me, and it's...this?", I flipped the card and it was Thunderous Wrath.
He said, "I can't even be mad at that, gg".
I have top decked it since, like on my opponent's upkeep with manamorphose (TW+bolt on upkeep, but opponent still won with Seige Rhino - I dislike that card, lol), but that was my favourite time since it was my first.
I was at 4 life and in a 4 person modern ffa and had siege gang lieutenant out a conspicuous snoop and drew and top decked kiki jiki, as in he was the card on top so conspicuous snoop combo's out w him and I won
Ari lax top decking siege rhino at PT khans of tarkir is pretty dope too
Lol he topdecked perfect answer after perfect answer. Meanwhile im here in mtga with 12 Lands on play and topdecking another 6 in a row or playing the full match with 2 Lands. Magic is a hilarious game lol.
Chainwhirler is a legend of a card. Get 4 in a deck and deal with soul sisters then let it sit there.
Used to love mtg I think maybe it’s gotten a little to crazy
Winning with exact lethal damage, with a top-deck card, and you're at 1 where you'd lose next turn?
That is literally the best method of winning.
11:00 why not attack with the Goblin Chainwringler ? forcing at least 1 blocker
It is said that after this match pinto changed his last name to refried.
I topdecked star of extinction with a wrathful raptors on my battlefield for game last week😂
Red decks seem to often find their way into videos like this. The playstyle of making decisions by the seat of your pants make for a lot drama for both the players and the watchers alike.
Thumbnail is nightmare fuel
I have the classic story: I have a meathook, my battlefield filled with creatures, my oponent has the solemnity/nine lives combo in play, I draw a blood in the snow, I put my opponent at exactly 0 by destroying all my creatures. Yeah I know, not a good story, but it's the one I have, OK?
It's not bad, you taught me a new combo at least lol
Glorybringer brings glory on 1 life.
I was have this kind of matches a lot
Fish folk know what it’s like to swing for 11 exactly lethal damage (unblockable btw). Two 2/2 fish, and two lords (one is summoning sick) = 11 damage. For some reason my opponent seem to end up with 11 life more often than I’d expect.
i was facing lethal next turn and top decked a gideon, ally of zendkar, i already had a gideon, aoz on the field with archangel avacyn, opponent was 3 with a ton of blockers, so i switched up the gideon to creature and played the other gideon, so the gideon creature died and eot flipped avacyn doing the 3 damage lol
He won because he believed in the heart of the cards.
At 12:45
Wouldn't Pinto had lethal anyhow, if he went for a full swing?
Oppo has 1 card in hand, assume the worst it is a 1-creature-removal.
That would make a combat of:
Scrap no. 1 crews Harvester, and sac it to make Chainwirler unable to block.
Now 2 blockers left, so attacks:
Scrap no. 2 with 3power -> blocked
Chainwirler with 3power -> blocked
Harvester with 3power -> most likely to be removed
Pia with 2power -> got through
Thopter with 1 power-> got through
Pinto had 3mana left, enough for a pump on the Thopter
Was there a card (instant) in the format that gets rid of 2 creatures?
Or gain life/prevent damage for Darby?
Just wondering cause I like the maths for my own board-position practice
Gonçalo Pinto's face at 14:13. He's in disbelief.
Not attacking with all creatures is big miss, especially when you play second scrap instead of giving +1 to artifact creature
LGS tournament final round fighting for first place mono black 8 rack vs Black/Green Elves. Elves get 8 Rack to 1hp (Rack) top decked a Bontu's Last Reckoning clear the board pass turn. opponent draws llanowar elf and plays 2 of them had one in hand and passed back (Rack) then top deck Plague Engineer! for the next two turns. he scooped
Yea never had a top deck like that. I always get the oh crap I drew a 1/1 with haste. Then concede.
My Portugee brother got robbed, but good game of Magic nonetheless :D
14:14 look at the face of a man who will not sleep for a week
