The Worst Pro Tour Top 8 of All Time

You thought Nadu was bad? I have a Pro Tour Top 8 that's at least in contention if not the worst of all time. 2024 Magic has nothing on the 2000s and its less refined rules of the era.
Turns out Pro Tour Rebels was pretty aptly named and Lin-Sivvi is remembered as the terror of Block Constructed for a reason. Turns out that legend design was something that took awhile to get to the same point we have now.
I love the Magic Pro Tour and I've always wanted to make a video like this, if you enjoyed it let me know I'm looking to make more things like this every now and then!
While I'm still very much excited for Bloomburrow spoilers, I hope you don't mind a bit of a detour from our present into Magic's past.

Holy smokes, this video did a LOT better than I thought it would esp. since the channel is very much still growing.

They will let Nadu live until summer ends like hogaak probably.

Nadu ticks literally every single box for a ban-worthy card: Extremely heavily played (x), warps the meta around itself (x), strong combo card (x) - in a resilient shell (x), strong card even without the combo (x), repetitive and/or annoying play pattern (double x), causes tournament issues due to monopolizing too much game clock (x). They will ban this card once the Hasbro suits are sure that all boxes of MM3 have been sold and the impact on the secondary market is considered not too heavy anymore.

We should just ban all 3 mana spells tbh. That seems to be the throughline.

I feel crazy Stockholm syndrome, but I really feel without Nadu this modern format would be real fun. One Ring is the next boogie man for basically giving a freebie turn and crazy card advantage for all the free spells, but I feel after that storm is easy to hate out, tron can also be hated. I feel after Nadu and One Ring the format could be reallllly fun.

To quickly correct you, it wasn't 20% of Nadu decks at the PT, it was 25% as there was a 4 Color Variant Nadu list there too, Bant Nadu covered 20.2% of the field while the remaining 5.3% of the Nadu decks ran the 4 Color Variant.

The one thing WotC hasn't changed is their incompetence when it comes to play testing cards that are blatantly broken.

I remember convincing my brother that Lin Sivvi could activate her second ability from the yard

I was listening to this and thinking "Man this sounds like Pastrytime" and then you mentioned your time in league of legends 😂

OMG GET TO THE POINT ALREADY (otherwise, great video!)

I wonder why they had Nadu's ability cap to triggering twice per-turn Per Creature rather than twice-per-turn period? It'd be a little more awkward to format but WAY more sensible.

I find magic tournaments very hard to watch. they don't show you the decks being played and it seems like they just assume everyone is deep into magic and knows everything.

I saw this video appear in my feed and immediately recognised your voice.

Love these videos. I've watched the Enter the Battlefield documentary style videos multiple times as well as every Inside the Deck vid about MTG Pro Tour history. This stuff never gets old!

man when you cut to the LCS footage and i recognized your voice from the intros it threw me for a loop

I just found your channel, and that intro really pulled me in, got an instant subscribe as that title screen rolled around. Looking forward to seeing more magic coverage from you!
