Well sorry Thousand-Year Storm, but...yeah. 1) You only copy spells for each instant and sorcery cast before it, not each enchantment/creature/artifact/planeswalker and more importantly 2) even the person who stuck up for you missed out the hyphen, showing even your biggest advocate isn't paying you any real attention.
@@sidasdf Heh, I was just messing around - wish I could have more passive-aggressive conversations with cards...the things I'd say to Deathrite Shaman...
Ive seen this Nassif/Chapin video a dozen times or more but having you explain it, going over the history of pro tours, percentage of hitting a specific card for the win is just so interesting to watch. Definitely one of the best mtg channels.
Thank you so much for reminding me of this moment. Every time I get reminded of some of the most epic moments in Magic history, I get this crazy feeling in my chest and I get so pumped up. Man, I love magic.
What I really love about this series is hearing about different standard metas in magics history and how they were shaped and/or broken by certain new meta decks or even rogue decks appearing out of nowhere. Its something I never got to live through as I havent been playing magic that long and its a joy to watch. Especially with a narrator as good as this one, cheers mate :)
Hey, now THAT'S an amazing video! I really don't follow Magic all that much and I had to look up the effects of Ignite Memories, but I love these "iconic moment breakdowns" from any game and I'm glad there's someone doing them for Magic. Plus, the video looks breathtakingly amazing; especially with the hardsubs for all the terminology and cards and stuff. Really hope to see more stuff soon! Also, guys... PLEASE credit the artists and songs used in the video. I swear it's not just because I'm searching for the ending song like crazy.
Ah, good times. That was the time when I was slowly transitioning from kitchen table player mindset to "I wanna be the very best", and that was one of the first competitive tourneys I've watched. Up to this day, my favorite game of Magic ever witnessed. Moment when Randy calls "Unbelievable", followed by "Unbelievable" by Nassif a couple of seconds later as well as "Let's hear it from the crowd" gesture from Nassif are still bringing a GIANT smile to my mouth every single time.
I've maybe watched this video...anywhere from 15 to 20 times already since I found it over a year ago. And the excitement of Jon retelling the story of this game, breaking down the insane odds that went into it....It really never gets old. Even in other videos if he's dunking on old blocks, breaking down the odds of discarding at random, or detailing R&D's successes and failures. It never gets old. I love coming back to these. TCGPlayer, please never stop Jon. He's a man with stories to tell, and a hindsight on a game we all love like no other. Here's to many more Jon, I really hope they let you keep going. P.S. Your Eldraine vid has probably become my second favorite to date right behind this one. Thanks for breaking the rules and making it anyway.
The sheer quality of this video is insane. Pretty Deece was a fun series before, but now it's something special. I know production value like this takes time, but I really hope we get more like this soon! Jon Corpora, you've stepped up your game my guy!
After watching this videos tens of times, I've just noticed the foreshadowing in the beginning. The shot from Steph was a 10.7% chance. Nassif's odds of survival said at 10:40 are also 10.7%. I like it.
It seems pretty odd you went on a long tangent about how complicated (?) Storm is and then never actually mention what Ignite Memories does when it's the basis for almost half of the video
I went to comment 4 times before now, but each time backed out to make sure the date showed this to be a new video and not one that I had somehow missed. Thank you, thank you, thank you for returning as a content creator. I consume tons of content on MTG, and you are my favorite of them all. I had given up hope, but thanks to UA-cam autoplay, my dream has come true. I'll be linking your video to several MTG groups, putting in the reach of roughly a hundred or so players. I know this isn't much in the grand scheme, but just wanted you to know there are those in the community at large that enjoy your content and I imagine I won't be the only one doing this.
Also, is there any way possible that I can somehow take a TCG player purchase yesterday and indicate that the real reason I use TCG player so much is because of your videos from before? Is there someone I can message from that purchase tag? I HATE that I bought the cards 24 hours before I saw this video and could use such a purchase to show TCG that you are what got me there so often to begin with.
This is actually one of the best Magic: The Gathering centered UA-cam videos out there. I adore this video and break down. It also made me play storm in modern, so that's nice.
Randomly I remembered your video on Kamagawa block and how much I enjoyed that content so I searched around till I found another video of Pretty Deece and I'm glad I did! Quality video essay content.
lol this video strayed so far off-course from the subject of luck, but at least you had the humor to acknowledge it by focusing so intently on a single play that there's even an epilogue credits section dedicated to Chapin and Nassif. For it to be the anatomy of luck, I was hoping for a complete in-depth study on how we can better manage luck to win games, like optimal land counts, the impact mulligans has on win percentages, and things like that. This was more of just a historical look at Chapin and Nassif's single marque play.
Gabriel Nassif was a common name in coverage when I was getting in to magic, and that contributes to him being my favorite magic player to this day (along with Ben Stark)
Really enjoyed this video. I find competitive magic really difficult to watch because it's difficult to see all the cards even if you know what they all do, especially with that sideways camera view, so having you explain all the context let me appreciate the featured game when I otherwise might have not been able to.
Its the most Magic thing in the world for you to make a whole video about an insane amount of luck and risk by a player and how it was of little consequence and it didn't matter at all.
For a long time Jazon and I were the only ones who wanted us to make another one. All these nice comments are making me kind of emotional, not gonna lie
This is by far my favorite Pro Tour moment. As someone who cheekily sideboards two copies of Ignite Memories in my Modern Storm deck, I get to tell this story quite often. I snapped off an Ignite for 5 against an Eldrazi Tron opponent once and said "Just like you, Pat." He looked at me quizzically and I started telling him the story mid round while resolving five copies of Ignite Memories. One day... One day I will get both Gabriel Nassif and Patrick Chapin to sign my foil playset of Ignite Memories.
I’m not a die hard magic player. I didn’t know anyone mentioned during this video, but you guys did a great job and conveying the info you wanted to and making it interesting. Keep it up. Great video.
did i miss something or was the whole thing was built as if it was leading up to nassif defying everything thanks to luck even though he mulled to 4. you kept repeating he needed 1 more turn to win but in the end Chapin still won? that was pretty disappointing or i dont know if i just had trouble following based on all the information that was given before showing the dice roll footage, or if it was just kind of all over the place information.
Jon I really don't know what kind of a man you are but it seems like you are a good fella. Thanks for your videos. I watched them so many times but still each time is a very good and pleasant experience!
Everything was totally fine. Jazon and I took on a lot more responsibilities at work between the last episode and this one, plus this one was WAY more work than a typical episode. Appreciate the concern though, and I'm glad you liked it.
God, I love your deep dives on topics. I'd love to hear your take on why Faeries and Jund were so good in 2008-2010, as context. Magic History from that time can be so hard to come by, even Theros might as well be ancient history!
so good to see you back in action, man. i love everything about your style and approach.
Love you, buddy
I ship it
Return here from time to time. This exchange lives rent-free in my mind anyway 😌
1. HECK YEAH THIS SERIES IS BACK
2. WHOA THESE PRODUCTION VALUES
3. CAPS LOCK
My thoughts exactly. So happy to see Pretty Deece again
Aaaaaand it’s gone
STORM RULESSSSSSS
"How many games have you mulligan'd to 4 and won?"
*Laughs in Vintage Dredge*
bazaar of baghdad is a thing
I’ve mulled to 4 once.
And won.
Hero’s Downfall, Haven of the Spirit Dragon, Thoughtseize
@@ZakanaHachihaCBC what's ur last, a swamp?
Kyle Lilley oh my B it was a mull to three on the draw. Top deck was Urborg
@@ZakanaHachihaCBC gotcha
“they don’t make storm cards anymore”
Thousand-Year Storm: Am I a joke to you?
Yes.

Well sorry Thousand-Year Storm, but...yeah. 1) You only copy spells for each instant and sorcery cast before it, not each enchantment/creature/artifact/planeswalker and more importantly 2) even the person who stuck up for you missed out the hyphen, showing even your biggest advocate isn't paying you any real attention.
Andrew Sparkes happy?
@@sidasdf Heh, I was just messing around - wish I could have more passive-aggressive conversations with cards...the things I'd say to Deathrite Shaman...
This is my favorite series on this channel
Thanks! That's a big compliment.
Tybalt's Trickery decks often Mulligan down to three cards to go off...
Ive seen this Nassif/Chapin video a dozen times or more but having you explain it, going over the history of pro tours, percentage of hitting a specific card for the win is just so interesting to watch. Definitely one of the best mtg channels.
PRETTY DEECE!!!! I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DREAM.
Edit: THAT IGNITE MEMORIES THO!!!
THIS IS NOT A DREAM IT'S REAL
Welcome back Jon! Your videos were sorely missed!!!!
We missed them too
This series has a good shot at being my favorite MTG UA-cam series. So informative, so interesting, so well made.
Glad you like it. We'll try to keep making good ones
Thank you so much for reminding me of this moment. Every time I get reminded of some of the most epic moments in Magic history, I get this crazy feeling in my chest and I get so pumped up. Man, I love magic.
Same
This video reminded me how badly I wan't to see Patrick Chapin win the World Championship one day
Yeah me too!
I really this longer, slower format. Please tell me more interesting stories from Magic's long and rich history!
We'll try! Someone's gotta do it, right?
@@tcgplayercom Please tell the story of Top Deck Lightning Helix.
Gotta love Nassif's showmanship
He's the best

This is one of the highest quality video of magic I've seen so far. Loved it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
what's the song starting at about 12:55?
I know you made this comment a year ago, but here is the song ua-cam.com/video/6_CEvXAQrTY/v-deo.html
I just realized this show is the magic version of Jon Bois’ Pretty Good series

Pretty dece is the best thing to come out of this channel. Keep em coming boss!
Gotta say I like this format. Casual, free form, more of a story then mechanical explanation. Hope to see more of it.
Noted.
I liked this format a lot. Like a casual documentary. Props to the team!
I thought my favourite series on this channel was gone forever.
I loveeeee this series. I literally don’t watch any others in this channel. Thanks John!
I'm not exaggerating when I say pretty deece is my favorite magic content out there, period. So glad to see you back
I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm screenshotting this comment and showing it to my boss
Pretty Deece is the best!! One of if not my absolute favourite MtG features on UA-cam, like watching great mini MtG documentaries!
Gabriel Nassif was a common name in coverage when I was getting in to magic, and that contributes to him being my favorite magic player to this day (along with Ben Stark)
Nassif and Chapin are my two favourite magic pros, just two absolute legends

Honestly love the end edit with the basket shot, really gave me chills
pretty deece is my favourite youtube series about magic ever. Keep it up guys
Thanks. We'll try!
Goddamn do I love Pretty Deece. Great jump on the production, this was fantastic!
Pretty deece is back!!!
So glad to see this series back! Excellent video as always!
I’m so surprised I thought I was the only one who wanted this show back
For a long time Jazon and I were the only ones who wanted us to make another one. All these nice comments are making me kind of emotional, not gonna lie
TCGplayer well I’ve always wanted it back been one of my favorite series. I’ve been watching the old ones like reruns of a show
This is by far my favorite Pro Tour moment. As someone who cheekily sideboards two copies of Ignite Memories in my Modern Storm deck, I get to tell this story quite often.

Excuse me sir is that some WHOLESOME CONTENT?
Thanks for the great content Jon, this series is the only reason I stay subbed to tcgplayer.
When I'm sad I always look back to this video since it makes me smile every time based off of the ignite memories.
I’m not a die hard magic player. I didn’t know anyone mentioned during this video, but you guys did a great job and conveying the info you wanted to and making it interesting. Keep it up. Great video.

The little basketball intercutting there was very good filmmaking. This was awesome
As my friends start wanting to learn the history of competitive magic this video will be a fundamental part of their journey.
Jon I really don't know what kind of a man you are but it seems like you are a good fella. Thanks for your videos. I watched them so many times but still each time is a very good and pleasant experience!
the epilogue was great to watch - thanks for the upload!
I feel the channelled spirit of Jon Bois's Pretty Good here, and I love it
Glad to see you back. I like this series.
I like you.
This fkn production quality is how I'm tryna be
I do like the different tone on this episode! Also, "Stories of whatever comes to mind" is pretty representative of the series, sounds great! :D
I still have that deck constructed and play it with my friends regularly one of my all time favorite decks ever
Loved it. I knew the gist of this story but I didn't know all of that, wow. Ready for more whenever you have another cool story to tell!
What about the crappy stories? We have way more of those.
Many thanks for the return lad. Glad to see you come back, and I hope everything was OK while you were gone!
Everything was totally fine. Jazon and I took on a lot more responsibilities at work between the last episode and this one, plus this one was WAY more work than a typical episode. Appreciate the concern though, and I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you whatever machinations led to pretty deece coming back... I owe you
Series keeps on improving--this is great! More of these!
Thanks!
Very happy to see the series is back!
Dude, Curry sunk that from like half court. Guy is unreal, greatest shooter ever, glad some people are appreciating it while it happens!
PRETTY DEECE RETURNS!!!!!! Thank you Jon, And thank you TCGPlayer!
YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!
So happy to see this series coming back!
Glad you enjoyed.
OMG YOU’RE BACK! Jon Corpora got my like split second!
The Magic Community needs more things like this content being done for sure.
You are the Jon Bois of magic that we need. Thank you
God, I love your deep dives on topics. I'd love to hear your take on why Faeries and Jund were so good in 2008-2010, as context. Magic History from that time can be so hard to come by, even Theros might as well be ancient history!
of all the magic related stuff on youtube this is my favorite. more than command zone, desolator aether hub, everything.
bro, in game 4 look how chapins hands are shaking :D he was so nervous.
love this show so happy to see it back
Definitely excited to watch more of this series. Kind of surprised that the windmill slam Bonfire of the Damned wasn't in this video lol.
Fantastic video. Glad UA-cam recommended it to me today.
This was very well done and emotional. Keep em coming, TCG.
Man, I'm glad to see this series return~!
So glad you’re back Jon!
You made me feel emotions with this video. Love you Jon!
This video was fascinating, love the historic topics keep up the awesome videos!
There's a Friday Nights episode which basically just shows someone storming off in its entirety just to demonstrate how soul crushing it is.
Easy to digest, easy to understand. Perfect.
I've watched this at least three times, never gets old
I just realized the series title is a Jon Bois reference. Didn't get that until the outro and tagline.
Really happy to see this series come back. :)
Glad you enjoyed
Please! More Pretty Deece videos! This was fantastic!
Pretty Deece is the reason I subscribed. Excellent content. Please keep it coming.
We need more Pretty Deece!!!
I've only just realised that Pretty Deece is meant to be a reference to Pretty Good and my life will never be the same again
What is the name of the song that starts at 7:28 ?
First pretty deece I've watched. Phenomenal. Gonna watch about 10 more now
We've got about 20 in the playlist... if you REALLY like them you should watch all of them. Just saying ;)
"How many of the games that you mulliganed to 4 have you won?"
Half of them. I play Legacy.
As an OKC fan, that opening clip hurt. Good video anyway though guys!
