Know of any other great MTG Turn 1 Wins? Let me know!

I was at the first ever, turn one win at Gen Con in 1993. The guy drew his 7, then went first, drew a card for the turn (as was the rules in Alpha) Played a Lotus Played a Ruby Mox Played a Ruby Mox Played a forrest Tapped the moxes, tapped the forrest, sacced the lotus Then cast channel for 19 Then cast Fireball for 21 damage before the other guy even drew a card. Still will never forget the look on his face.

That James guy on Arena takes 100 points for the sweet combo, but loses 1000 for the emote spam. -900 net points, opponent wins.

5:20 there is clearly an elf on the back of that dino.....and the card is called Allosaurus RIDER.

Doesn't matter if you can FTK if you spam GG like that you're toxic

Another fantastic turn 1 win by SaffronOlive was when he was going against a dredge opponent, after sideboarding, and aggressively mulliganed to find the leyline of the void. He kept on mulliganing because he couldn't find it, until he remained with a single card in his hand, the card being leyline of the void. Opponent scooped instantly :D

The most impressive thing about these videos is that the opponent sat through these games of solitaire without conceding.

Mtg players: Wanna see a turn one win? Yugioh players: Oh I’ve seen this one before.

Random dude: Alright, but to play me some on line magic! Going to be fun! *turn zero Tibalt* Random dude: “Oh! It’s going to be one of those days!”

well its called Allosaurus "Rider" so the card is the rider itself, not a dinosaur/mount.

This is easily one of the best videos you've made! It introduced me to 100% new content I would have never found by myself!

This was funny, I enjoyed it! I love the new win pattern for Neobrand - that’s awesome.

Thanks Nikachu good video. As a really old magic player, we used to play magic each week, from 1997 to say 2009. There was about 6 of us, who would play legacy, as we bought cards casually over the years. Eventually though, there was more and more of these turn 1 wins and it just broke the game for all of us. It just left a sour taste, losing in the first turn especially but a turn 2, 3 or 4 loss, just robbed the fun out of the game for us. A couple of us, started looking for other games. We discovered that there was in fact a ton of different tabletop games. I think our first non magic game was the meh! Last Night on Earth (as I was a huge zombie fan boy at the time before that genre became over saturated) which eventually led us to BGG. Here we discovered an entire world of stuff. We quickly got Puerto Rico then Agricola and it just went from there. As much as we all hated these turn one wins, I suppose ultimately they were a good thing for me personally, as they led to me and my gaming group discovering other board and card games. As good a game as MTG is/was and I'll still play it with my creaking collection, I've never really been inclined to buy any new products, mainly because of the bad feeling it left me with, with these 1 turn win situations.

The thing that bugs me the most about the Cascade rule change post Tibalt is they should have done the same as an addendum to restricted search effects. Emergent Ultimatum wouldn't have been nearly as backbreaking (it would have still been good) if you couldn't cast Tibalt off of it because only the search was restricted in the card's text. The rule change would have been basically the equivalent as the Cascade one: if an effect would allow you to search for a card and cast it, and you find an MDFC, you may cast any side that meets all of the requirements and restrictions of that effect. In fact, a rule change like that would have prevented the need to change Cascade's specific rules.

Everyone was humble and well mannered, then came THCxJamesTV with the emote BM..

A new morning Nikachu video is what I call a turn one win.

Love your videos, even when I don't even play Magic. A great way to start my day :)

Right into the main point of the video, no bs, i love it

Finally you are back with more content! :) Keep going the great work, you are awesome and your content is interesting AND joyful at the same time, especially for people without much deeper knowledge about tournament surprises, cheaters or strong deck building strategys, like me.

Always enjoy Bryant, dude is a combo phenom lol

Heck yeah, another Nikachu video! Always love the animal crossing songs in these vids!

Heck yeah! Love me some turn one wins. 👍

Nikachu video to start of the day gooood

Will never forget my turn one win... Pact of the titan Elvish spirit guide Might of old Krosa Simion spirit guide Reckless charge Berserk Taiga. 22/8 haste, trample Opponent looked at it and put his hand back on his deck, then started shuffling...

And here i thought i knew magic, but once again i was amazed at these plays

I cant even follow without you but this looks funny af LOL

Awesome vid, keep it going!

Love your channel, think I’ve finally watched all your videos

Technically speaking neither the emrakul or Tibalt were Turn 1-0 kills, they are turn 1-0 concedes because the opponent simply no way of dealing from that board state, but Emrakul swinging is a 2 turn clock and Tibalt is a value engine only at that moment.

I love seeing Seth "probably better known as Saffron Olive" clips especially this one

Nice! Love this.

I love Bryant! Glad to see him on here!

Great stuff! Missed the turn 0 Flash/Hulk combo tho.

Nice" Lazytown reference dude 😎 My daughter used to watch that show on repeat 24/7 😆

I remember years ago playing PC MtG via Manalink and one version came with a prebuilt deck called Twisted. It was 4x B. Lotus, Mox Ruby, Sapphire, Volcanic Island, Timetwister, L. Bolt, Psionic Blast, and Wheel of Fortune. Most of the time you could turn 1 win. If not, turn 2 for sure.

Great video, but I also have to point out, the card name is Allosaurus _Rider_ and that rider is an Elf in the art so it *is* an Elf Warrior type. I mean, an Allosaurus riding another dinosaur would be sill-ok in MTG everything is possible so maybe... but not here!

I remember that Dark ritual OTK. It seemed safer to run Peer into the Abyss and to ensure I didn't get bored, Torment of hailfire and Aetherflux Reservoir were in there too

Idk how Charbelcher feels like a jank and a competitive deck at the same time.

cool video, very nice ending, thanks

I love the neoform deck it's just so ridiculously beautiful.

Oh hey Meryn! Am a fan. But yeah. All these are so entertaining 😂

Turn one win with Thrasta. Nikachu: I CALLED IT!

month haven't watching your content, great as usual

I love the tendril of agony deck, back in the days i use a similar deck to win on turn 2 but with a high effiency !!

Allosauraus Rider makes 100% sense as not a Dinosaur. It's referring to the elf riding the dinosaur, not the animal itself.

Charbelcher brings back so many memories. Def my favorite. My god I'm craving to play MTG again. I think I'll make a deck when I get my taxes lol.

Love the lazy town reference, i was showing people the little john version just yesterday at work

That Dark Ritual Sign in Blood combo felt like when you build the engine just right in Dominion

I must say I dont play MTG but your videos are so entertaining I watch them

Damn, some crazy plays

i never played magic, but after watching all these videos, it seems like griselbrand is a staple in every deck apparently lol. the amount of videos this guy has with it getting a mention at the very least is crazy.

"the world's your oyster" has got to be one of my new favourite quotes

geez these are crazy decks :D

bro, I laughed so hard when that life total went from 20 to -31 XD!!!

The Werefrog remember once a local store decided to hold a tournament using original deck building rules. Those rules were minimum of 40 cards. As many copies of cards as you want. One player showed up with a card that could be discarded to produce red mana, and red direct damage, draw a card. That deck managed to win on turn 0. That is, as soon as you gain priority, you set it off.

If someone spams "Good Game" or "Oops" they deserve cancer not praise

That Tibalt play was hilarious.

Allosaurus "Rider" wouldn't be a dinosaur. So the art makes perfect sense. Someone needs an editor. But I love your videos anyways.

Allosaurus Rider is the rider of the, allosaurus so it's an elf. Great video as usual!

I liked the first couple. Not sure I would personally call the others turn 1 wins (only because it was not a kill, but a scoop that ended); However, good stuff; I enjoyed it ;)

The Arena event was so hilarious 🤣 I played many meme decks during that, the funniest was Channel (because of course it was legal!!!) into Ulamog 😆

this reminds of my technical t1 win against a friend playing vintage. Black lotus + mana crypt tinker sacing crypt into blightsteel and then timewalk to finish it

The music front the grizzlebrand though 😂😂😂😂

I had a (legit) turn 1 kill with my enchantress deck. Went 2nd. Played Forest, then Fastbond (play as many forests as you like, each beyond the first deals you 1 damage), 3 Forests, Crucible of Worlds (3 cost, you can play lands from your discard pile), Zuran Orb (0 cost, sac a land for +2 health) ... and right here I'm at infinite life. Sacrifice a land for 2 health, play it for 1 health. Also infinite mana because I can tap it before discarding it. And my 8th card, forgive me because it's been a couple of decades since I played MtG and I can't remember the name, but it was an artifact (I believe) that allowed me to pay X to cause a player to discard X from the top of their deck into their discard pile. I literally decked my opponent on the first turn. That wasn't my main kill mechanic, it was just one I had in there for fun. Primarily I utilized enchantments to draw my entire deck within the first few turns and used Lone Wolf (can deal combat damage to opponent as though it was not blocked) + some crazy buffs to swing for a couple hundred with lifelinks. My google-fu has failed me. If anyone recognizes the card I can't remember, I'd appreciate it. My deck was green primary / splash white / some artifacts. Mostly enchantments, very few spells (tutors only, I think, oh and a permanent removal), some artifacts, and the creatures were a couple of elves to get white mana outside my dual-lands, lone wolves, and enchantresses. So that card woulda had to be either an enchantment or artifact, most likely an artifact. I haven't played that deck in 10+ years, easily, possibly 15-20 years.

Old school players remember the turn 1 Ball Lightning win. Taiga, Black Lotus, Mox Emerald, Mox Ruby, Ball Lightning, Berserk, Fork. You can swap out the power 9 stuff now with lotus petal or spirit guide or whatever, but the foundation is still there.

It’s obviously the dinosaur smash. Definitely the best.

lmfao at that lazy town reference at 9:07

Great job turn 1 emrakul has been done.. but turn 1 Spawnsire of Ulamog and paying the 20 mana to dump the Spegetti factory buffet out on the board.. that's a new challenge for maven, good luck! 😂 also mass hysteria for haste

"It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake" ♥️

The MTGA turn 1 shown where it's a 3 card combo win is the reason I have not turned off the Mute Players feature since launch. I'm fine with losing but the spamming of Oops/GG etc etc is just annoying. So since launch after it's Beta time I hit mute all players and take my Ls as I take my Ws. Silently. 🥰

I stopped playing Modern years ago because they banned my deck for "being able to win on turn 3". It's funny how the developer's will do anything to keep people buying new product.

Nice vid, though, Allosaurus Rider's art is spot on. There's an elf riding the dino in the pic...so, there. He's the Allosaurus Rider.

I remember the classic channel fireball, the inter turn deck (yes, I'm that old) and the flash deck, those were ridiculous

Hellz ya! Great job, Meryn. I love her videos s she often plays more hit or miss decks. Go big or go home. If u ain't winning on the first turn r u really playing Magic? :P

Ah! Goblin charbelcher love it

What's the program they're using for the MTG games that weren't in person?

There was a time when it was actually possible to win on turn 1 in standard. No need for elaborate combos from cards printed decades apart from each other. However, it required an exact hand of 7 specific cards. Mountain, Rites of Initiation, Anger, and 4 Basking Rootwalla.

Back in my day we didn't have all of these fancy programs and a million cards. So my best FTK (vs FTW) was good old reliable channel/fireball (with a couple lotus and moxes).

While not a first turn win, I played a land destruction deck that could pretty consistently drop Nether Void/Juzam Djinn on the first turn. For those that don't know, Nether Void made all cards cost 3 colorless more (including zero mana cards) so if I dropped a Nether Void on turn the earliest an opponent could play ANYTHING was on thier turn 3 & that was only something that cost 0. If I had in hand or drew a Strip Mine by turn 3 it was an auto win as my opponent couldn't play anything but a few lands before the Juzam killed them. This was of course before Alliances was released & a lot of those shenanigans were halted.

I had a deck that had a turn one kill back in champions. 2 blazing shoals, 2 miojins of infinite rage and any one drop creature with haste. It was funny when it went off but was very a hard hand to get.

Epic

I thought that creatures couldn't use ablitiys when played.. or is that only if they have to tap??

My buddy had a combo with the Worldgorger dragon before but I forgot the combo. Basically whenever permanents return to play you could tap all lands for floating mana and repeat it whenever the Worldgorger enters and leave. So you can be left with inifinite mana.

Tibalt was my favorite, turn 0 Tibalt is BOSS mode! ON HIS UPKEEP! LOL And Saffron's Reaction def helped my decision

@9:36 what format is this in arena that allows you more than 4 copies of a card?

i dont know how to feel about the gotta do the cooking by the book thing you said because i know EXACTLY where you quoted it from

How does the last one work? It makes no mention of you having flash so unless it was an instant this doesn’t make sense.

~ That turn 1 Emrakul though....:P

second to last game was actually big brain

I came for the 1st turn kills, but stayed for the Lazy Town references.

Would you consider doing a video on the classic vintage tinker deck? I think that would be pretty fascinating!

Nothing like a turn 1 win to make me scoop

You are correct, allosaurus RIDER is infact not a dinosaur , but he does ride them nonetheless , artwork made sense to me . 🤔

remember back in the day when Dragon storm was in Standard and i did a turn 1 DS into 4 B. Hell kites hahaha.. greatest moment ever!

Standard Academy State championships. I was running academy along with maybe 20% of the people there (Pre net decks for the most part) During the tournament, I got a T1 win and also lost to a T1 win. The last game of the tournament was me vs last years champion, both running academy. We were 1-1 and I was on the draw. I had all the pieces for a T1 win IF he didn't have and play Academy T1 (old Legends rules where first Legend on the battlefield was the only one that could be) or possibly Wasteland, but I think I had some petals and a vault so I still could have at least gotten ahead with one tap of Academy and a windfall. I should have mulled, as it was a risky hand with no other lands (the deck only ran 12 or so land, so unlikely to draw into land), but it was a long day, and my brain was fried, so I tried the gamble. I lost. Took him like 5 turns (Deck normally won by T3) because he kept a bad hand (which makes my gamble even worse)....but one that had Academy and was safer then mine. I almost identical decks (And we both developed on our onw) but I had the better sideboard for the mirror (Tidal Warrior vs a UU 4/1 Island walk that he had) but can't be too upset with second place, losing to the previous year's winner.

I'm so glad that the rules changed for Valki/Tibalt. Getting hit with that garbage was so unfun. It doesn't crop up much anymore, but I really think they need to change how Valki interacts with Bring to Light still, because you can still BtL Tibalt into play, and it's still as unfun as anything. But with all the T3feri, Hammer, and Omnath shenanigans running around now, it's less likely to happen.

I had an opponent snap-scoop after I played a ❄️ forest once. I had a terrible hand too!

Having an opponent scoop on turn 1 isn't the same as a turn 1 win. The first couple were legit. I played near the start of magic and there was a combo of Ball Lightning, blood lust and Beserk that mad a 20/1 ball lightning before your oppenent got a turn. It also required a black lotus and a mox, but with some of these other card like LED and things you can exile for mana it seems like there's more options.

Fun games, specially on the receiving end. gj Wizards.
