- We had challenged Thoralf to win 4 games of magic at once, but we upped the stakes and now he will have to win those 4 games whilst having to memorize each board state!

Awesome video, wp Thoralf! Remember the angels come in untapped AND have vigilance :)
Studio secrets revealed! :D
Video idea for you. Test which of the monarchy or the initiative is better by playing a set of mirror matches where one player starts with monarchy and one starts with initiative.
@MCTimemaster unfortunately most people already know the answer to this 😅 there is a reason initiative cards are banned in most formats they are legal but monarch is still fine
@@CardmarketMagic what has the game come to that people don't like drawing an extra card every turn?
Watching Karl go mad with power as he gets more creative control over this channel has been inspiring
He just needs to wear his magician's hat more!
@BaronSengir1008 honestly true. Carl if you see this you know what you must do
this arc is very entertaining, with future episodes seemingly even more fun and chaotic.
He really should take the initiative and remove himself from them.
@@MrPowertowin Why?
Love that Felizian is the only one that gets a second line under their job title and it is just "generally very chill"
Felizian is, indeed, generally very chill :) I just had to let people know
@@CardmarketMagicI assumed that he put the line himself, since he's the video editor
@ComDenox Fele is new and only has edited a handful of videos. I made this video and put the line there :)
- Carl
@@CardmarketMagicaaaaaaw this is so cute and nice and makes me like the cardmakret team even more
Congrats to Toffel to pulling this off! A few misplays but I mean, look at the handicap Toffel had:
- Playing four different decks.
- Not allowed to see the board state, or even really ask about it.
- Not allowed to get back life totals
- If he casts with no legal target, the spell doesn't unwind, but it fails instead.
... And his opponents all being on the same deck is a mixed blessing, because even though he has less individual cards to remember, he has to remember which board state belongs to which opponent.
Good job Toffel and great video CardMarket!
Also, some opponent didn't always say what ability triggered on their side, or which land they played.
Honestly, I think 4 of the same MU would've been much harder than being on 4 different decks. He didn't really have to keep his own boardstates separate mentally - if he just knows one of his 4 decks has a nykthos or polukranos in play, he just knows that belongs to the monogreen deck
While I think that the Rakdos midrange game was very one sided, and the Rakdos midrange game was kind of a stomp, the RAKDOS MIDRANGE GAME WAS CRAZY. Pro tour level play on that game. The Rakdos midrange was also super fun to watch
prett, sure you mixed up rakdos midrange and rakdos midrange.. other than that, I agree
lmao this is the best thing ever
zooming Thoralf around on the chair was a nice touch. "Do you pass your turn?" "Yes" *rolls Thoralf to next opponent*
"I fight for justi-aaaAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!"
lol and the "Weeeeee!"
The amount of setup required for the video. Great job team! Now let's hope Thoralf has the 500iq to win this challenge!
Congrats to "Magnus Thoralfssen"!
@@DackKija He did great :) I know he's a good magic player but this is one great "Proud of my friends" moment for me!
Sadly he only had 250IQ.
@@CardmarketMagic28:50 Jamin should not have gained 2 life from drawing a card. Sheoldred was no longer on the battlefield
Between that and the vigilant Angels, Thoralf knows more about four games of magic while blindfolded than the rest of you guys while looking at the cards 😂
This is impressive, I usually forget what I scry to the top within a single turn, and Thoralf simply remembers 4 boardstates at the same time
Thoralf remembering all these board states but never getting Coppercoat Vangaurd’s name right is hilarious 😂
Holy hell, I can’t even imagine the mental aptitude one must have to pull this off as well as Thoralf did. Memorization skills are off the charts! Mad respect! And great video!
Karl, Thoralf and Jamin are one of those perfect trios that you just can't stop watching. They play off each other SO well XD We've had plenty with guests, but would love to see a three-player commander duel sometime! Probably a really easy video to make, and just listening to you guys banter with each other without losing one to Magic's 1v1 format would be such a blast. Thanks for the videos, keep it up!!
Another perfect trio was the Arena Boys (go and watch those if you haven't seen them), featuring 2 of the 3 from this group :)
Yeah, just get Riley in the games or just make Arena boys on MKM again
Now we need a blooper reel for how long it took to get that last scene right xD
Surprisingly enough, second try 😅
Hey I remember hearing this video get pitched in the behind-the-scenes video. I was looking forward to seeing how it would go, Thoralf rocked it.
Everyone in the video was amazing, but I have to give special props to the wheeled chair who is quickly becoming my new favourite regular guest on the channel.
12:46 "Hit me like a polaroid picture" lmfao i love Thoralf
Not the first time he's referenced that song on this channel. Man likes his OutKast.
12:12 The look on Julia's face is "He is popping off and can't even see the game..."
Nightmare omg
I'm loving these videos with some of the general people around the office. It's such a neat community that you have that you can just grab the legal advisor to play a game of magic on camera.
Yeah it's great :) I just had to send a company-wide email asking if anyone wanted to play and got tons of messages back!
This is ridiculous and I'm here for it
I've only seen a couple of minutes and this is already hilarious
Very impressive games!
31:39 That was insane. I was looking at the board going, “Silly, he has 2 creatures just attack in and murder!” And then he activated Mutavault! I know he was probably thinking there was a construct there but still… he was right 😂
Jamin looked like a swashbuckling gremlin when he was introduced and it was awesome.
Jamin IS a Swashbuckling Gremlin! :D
Whoever's idea it was needs a raise and all the props they can get! 5 minutes in and I'm already hooked.
😎 I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)
Carl needs every raise known to man!
It actually helped Thoralf, he didn't see the misrepresented boardstates.
Julia saying "I play a land" every turn made me cry for Thoralf every time. He has no idea which lands she played.
Also, technically, Sheoldred being an invalid target for Lay Down Arms means that it couldn't be legally cast and the game should be reset to its last valid boardstate (the lands should have been untapped and the spell back to Thoralf's hand)
No you normally cannot target the sheoldred here with lay down arms, but this is not a normal game and we had to bend the rules for the challenge. Thoralf went in aware that if ever he targeted a creature that was not there or something similar, the spell would just fizzle
The brutal cathar triggern couldn't fizzle either
yep, beat me to it
@@CardmarketMagic alright if that was already established pre-game, I understand. But man that was quite the handicap.
Yeah, in that game Carl also kept tapping Thoralf's angels, but they have vigilance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Loved the chaos of this!!! Especially the fact the board states for Rakdos were sliiiightly different each time at some points and the confusion that caused yet the amazing overcoming of that by Thoralf:)
*The narrator:*
“Thoralf, in fact, could not.”
Seriously though, new CardMarket videos are always a highlight of my day!
I'm happy you enjoy them :) we put a lot of effort into them
Luckily for him the game he lost wasn't because of misplays
I was on the edge of my seat the entire video. Awesome work as always!
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
Angels from Parhelion II have *vigilance*!
Great video, guys! Loved seeing more of the team this time around :)
That also really bothered me that everyone forgot.
This reminds me of chess exhibitions where grandmasters would play multiple games simultaneously blind. This is a really cool modern adaptation and I'm all for it and any other variations you guys come up with.
Thoralf is a master of not only blind Magic, but also blind high fives.
Cardmarket out here inventing new genres of MtG content
I don’t even know what other channels do Magic anymore. These guys are the best
As someone who used to play chess very seriously, this was awesome! Very much brought back memories of chess simuls! Good job Thoralf!
2minutes in and im so hyped for whats going to happen.. these videos are getting better every day !
That was the most interesting unique and fun video i've seen in a while
Maybe you could do a second one similar with somebody else doing it. Like Marciano I think that's his name
how sick is this, this little german guy just demolishing 4 people at once without seeing his board is crazy
This was an amazing video!!!! I loved the unique content and it was so impressive watching Thoralf keep four seperate games in his head at the same time.
What a video! I like it so much. We nede this kind of stuff and the crew we need see more of them.
A fun way to alter this, if it's ever done again, would be to give Thoralf an "ability", plus a restriction. Once per turn, he can ask a yes/no question about the board state (or about what happened last turn). But the price is that if he performs 10 illegal actions in a game, he loses that game. (Illegal spells would still fizzle.)
Also, since the opponents were usually just saying "I tap 2 to play [card]" (not indicating which lands), it would be pretty fair to get a free ask of which lands the opponent has untapped. If we want it to be tricky, too, he could request either the amount of mana available or request which colors are available.
I do look forward to seeing more games like this, it's a good time!
Been waiting for this! Yay!
That was incredible work by Thoralf! That was so much fun to watch!
Shoutout to Felizian, he's generally very chill.
He is :)
This is by far the best video you've ever made. The idea, the plays, the editing, the music - chef's kiss.
Love Thoralf's expressions! Super editing too! You guys really execute on some great concepts.
Thoralf, my hat's off to you man. That was some impressive mental aptitude and mastery of the game you showed there...
Absolutely the best @CardmarketMagic video so far! I've followed you for a long time already, but now I just had to subscribe, because of this video. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for finally subscribing :) we'll do our best with upcoming content to make sure that sub is worth it for you!
Going to be another great video
Always is!
Just finished watching. Really turned out to be a great piece of content
Props to the staff who normally aren't on camera!! Another great video from the Cardmarket gang 🔥
This was incredibly fun to watch! Probably my favorite gameplay video I've seen from you guys, I would love to see something like this again.
I'm happy you enjoyed it :) I'm really proud of this one
Very fun to have all the new/yet unseen people on. Thanks!
Very fun video, I really enjoyed the different feeling each opponent gave. Would not mind them more on camera in the future.
pretty impressive actually
Absolutely amazing! The production was surprisingly unchaotic and also the fact that Thoralf not only managed to make sense of what was happening but also did as well as he did was amazing!
Well done, as I have come to expect from you crazy, goofy chaps!
Thank you :) I'm happy you enjoyed this one! I'm really proud of it
Fantastic idea and excellent execution, Carl and company! Must have taken loads of time to do. Can only imagine this will be one of those videos you look back on in some years time and feel really proud of.
Thank you! I already look back at it with pride :)
Awesome video setup guys, love it! Keep it up! You guys are pretty much the only non commander only channel I watch so it says something about the quality and entertainment!!
That is indeed very high praise :D thank you
LETS GO Thoralf
Always love your guys videos, keep up the amazing work!
Absolutely demented concept, well done!
Realy amazed by Thoralf's memory , that was an awesome video!!!
That just straight up impressive. 👏 Insane skills Thoralf!!! Looked like you were getting a headache near the end but you kicked ass!!!! 💪💪💪
Great video, fun to watch and actually impressive!!
Awesome video. Loved it!!!
This might be the greatest combination of pure fun, zanity and honestly impressive gameplay skills that I have ever seen. I have been so excited for this video to drop ever since you hinted at it in the behind the scenes video. And this was honestly so fun and mad props to Thoralf.
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
One of my favorite vids from this channel!
Great job. This looks really fun.
This was impressive! Congratulations Thoralf!
This is by far my favorite video from this channel. Awesome stuff guys :)
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
I don't get bored of saying how awesome this channel is, and Thoralf is a true master, what a chad.
great vid as always thanks for such quality content
Crushed it! Great video!
I’ve been waiting so excitedly for this vid ever since the “how we make videos” video. Carl the creative mastermind dropping another banger
Now THIS is the content I needed to see in Magic
Another banger from the team
Undoubtedly my favorite MTG channel because of how creative and entertaining you guys are
I'm really happy you have been enjoying our videos :D we put a lot of effort into them!
Absolutely phenomenal content, no one else in the world is producing MTG material as awesome as you guys
That's very kind of you to say :D thank you!
this is one of the most unique and interesting magic the gathering videos ive ever seen. thoralf is a beast!
wow!!! what insane video did you there?! big respect and congratz to thoralf... that was an insane performance... big love for that!!
pls more pioneer content like that... insane!!
I'm happy you enjoyed it :) thank you
28:45 Jamin draws and heals 2 even though his Sheoldred isn't around any more. Just because Karl can't see your life total doesn't mean you can fudge it!
This was maybe the best video you've made so far
"draw me like one of your french girls" is the best line of the video
I thought he was going to play 1 match. Then go to the next. The fact he is simultaneously playing all 4 at the same time in insane! Sick stuff!
Amazing! Way to go Thoralf!
I am really speachless!! Thoralf, I wasnt expecting that! Such a great work and how could you remember all of that? :D
Wow, congratulations!!
And Carl: Please keep up your sadistic ideas 😁
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
You can see the cognitive load increasing card by card! Is it harder to play against 4 different decks which would have wildly different board states, or like this, with confusingly similar boards? Honestly, I don't think many could have gone 3-4 there.
Always a good day when there’s a new cardmarket video
You are making things nobody has ever tried before and this way you are making history! Amazing performance by Thoralf too, next time he will go 4/4.
Really like that the thumbnail for the vid is just the same shot taken from 4 angles and composited together with the blur. Mad props to the artist on that one!
Thank you :) I'm really happy with this one
Compared to the already incredible videos y'all make, this is even more fun to watch!
I am a bit worried about a potential for a concussion for poor Toffel.
This is the best thing I desire the entire cardmarket staff carnally 10/10
That was insane!!! Love it!
Great video! It was intense, but Thoralf is a great player!
Commenting on a year old video but playing 4 games at the same time while not being able to see the board like that, let alone winning 3 of them, is legitimately so impressive I just had to.
This is just art. Keep it up!
I appreciate Karl's remarks about Fogs making all decks better, his love of turbo fog reaches all videos
absolutely INSANE. Amazing, congrats to you all! :D
Thats insane! I love it!
They did it! Those crazy bastards actually did it!
That was crazy impressive. I have a hard enough time keeping track of my devotion when I can SEE my board, let alone from memory.
This was very impressive and very fun to watch!
this one! thoralf's just flexing his amazing mtg-playing skills now! well done.
I love how, even though your videos are always very wacky and entertaining, they also always take the time to show off your player's skill. Lots of magic channels are either commentary or wacky casual games, and it's nice to have a channel that's aimed a little more to the Spikes.
We're all spikes originally on this channel so we'll never stray from those roots :) no matter how whacky we get
