@@057wolf This is Standard LMAO and only a couple of sets ago people were tapping their Tolarian Academy for 5 mana on turn 2. Much more unhealthy game especially with Black Lotus in the very first set and originally intended without a 4 card limit, making the Black Lotus/Ancestral Recall/Lightning Bolt deck with a single Timetwister for good measure a turn 1 kill every single game. The game has matured very well and people who actually know game design worked their asses off for literal decades to fix it. The fact that you played your 6 man 3/5s without an ETB to get it destroyed by a Murder at that time just shows how little the people in your Meta understood the game. I mean you could've and in hindsight should've gotten 4 Black Lotus back then; i think they were only 150$ at the time.
ahneemoney069 For these official tournaments they've started sleeving them in drafts just because players are more accustomed to handling sleeved cards and because it just makes it look nicer. That and the sponsors can put their card sleeves in the focus. So for high level tournament, there's a lot of reason to bother
+bipolarprobe That and when this game happend magic was only a few years old, even back then I do not think a black lotus was worth that much, it was not a collectors thing yet. the player base was probably 1/10th of what it is today,
Sleeves were banned from mtg events for several years in the early days to prevent cheating. I think it was either 2002 or 2003 when they were allowed again.
Came here after watching his award for Kai Budde Player of the Year speech. I hope miracle happens like this game and he get to live again.
I was there...19 years old, first time on a plane, let alone overseas.
doesnt matter I went 1-4-1 drop.
I'll never forget the MtG Pro Tour
i love how they acually talk to each other and looks like they have fun
Different game and different players.
No sleeves is wild.
These late 90s early noughties games are so classy looking. No planeswalkers or overpowered creatures, it feels cozy.
no 100 billion tokens or triggers on the stack.

@@47Mortuus I don't like the way you talk to people

@@47Mortuus Can't believe no one corrected you in over a year - this isn't Standard; it's Limited.
Thanks for uploading these historical artifacts!
These lands are so gorgeous!
Its Portal. My first set.
Peter H nope, Invasion.
I played Kai in round 2 this pro tour. He went on to go 4-0 in my draft and i went 3-1 only losing to him.
It's spelled Kai Budde, it's read The G.O.A.T.
Great post!!
RIP Kai well not yet RIP, such an epic run
no sleeves - these were different times but gives me distress now
DAMAGE ON THE STACK
we'll never forget!
I block your juggernaut with my morphling, damage on the stack, pump the morphlings toughness by 3!
I miss morphling...

Why wouldnt they? Magic is a fun game :)
Isn't it the point :P
@@AncientCS *was

Kai Buddha
Little did they know about the rest of the story on the next PTs hahahahah
These 2 guys are studs. lol
great cam view...wateva
Sin fundas!! Vaya huevos!!!
Estaba prohibido usar fundas en torneos en aquel tiempo ... Ahí underground sea costaba 15 euros más o menos
nice land! lol
that lack of sleeves
It's a draft, why bother putting them into card condoms?

I miss the old days. Too bad this game went downhill...
It looks like draft was the format so probably no sleeves necessary for them here
HWoodModelling sleeves weren't around back than
Sleeves were around, just not used on camera cause of glare.
Actually they were. The players took them off for the camera due to glare.
Took you 2 years to say the same thing the guy above you said lol
@@coreythecool4265 No it didn't.
this guy goes to combat without playing lft first smh this is a pro tour final ahaha
