When the guy who tosses his deck away, leaving it behind as he walks off, is the winner you know that was one brutal match

I think if anyone of them had a grizzly bear in play, they would've won

the winner walked away in confusion himself. a bitter sweet victory.

I remember watching how Rudy from Alpha Investments played similar legacy game where nothing really happened for 10 turns against TCC professor who said “i have a modern deck which could win by now”.

Legacy is all about turbo combos that end in 2 turns The combo mirrors :

BBD actually had the win at 10:08, all he had to do was to cast Braistorm first, let it get countered by REB and than cast Intuition for Griselbrand. It was confirmed by Brad (he did a commentary video on this game with BDM) that he would have countered anything he could with that REB :)

Blue gets so many draw effects and cantrips that anomalies like these don’t make me feel bad.

reliving these classic paper moments really makes me miss paper magic with this kind of coverage :_)

being a pro means also finding yourself in these spots and still being to extend your end. you can tell he was pissed like mad by his look, but overall his reaction was very classy.

I love the clear shock that Brian experiences with the turn 1 sneak attack, he's just there, staring at the card, before casting FoW

He looked so defeated, I could feel the pain

Why do these pro's suck so much at shuffling? Brian is shuffling in a way that he can see the cards that he is moving to the bottom of his deck each time and he's looking at his cards while he's doing it. Just rotate your cards 30 degrees from vertical people, it's not hard.

Shout out to Brian and Brad tho. Two class acts who been in the game since forever. Very skilled MTG players

The casual 4-for-2 on turn one is why I will always love legacy lol

That face when you realize you'd have won by now if you had just put swamps in the deck lmao

Holy crow, that was intense! I can't believe how crazy that was and nothing happened.

Ponder post-shuffle can just as easily show you one of the three cards you just rejected. And Brainstorm can Fateseal yourself if you don't have a way to shuffle away the drek you put back. BBD cracked a fetchland to thin his deck that he should have saved for a shuffle. I think Adrian pronounced BBD's name 7 different ways!

I love these kind of reaction/analysis type of videos, I know very little about the pro player scene and the eternal formats, so this is educating me, thx for that.

It`s insane that even a 1/1 Saproling could have won this game faster. xD

I once played a game with my mtg veteran Dad. We were playing 7 1, so the game was slow. I played red green but I didn't get a forest for 2/5 of the game, he had ivory tower and ivory cup. He got up to 57 health and at the end I got him to 3. I was at a good amount of health, but I ended up losing because he milled me out. He had NO CREATURES, NO LAND (bc I destroyed them all with flashfires :D) AND I LOST TO ONE TURN... Magic is fun

On my birthday I was at a grand prix standing behind Brad Nelson, I watched his opponent ult liliana, Brad Came back to win that game with 2 lands and a scavenging ooze I think it was. Good times.

I remember when I had two copies of force of will. Got them from another guy who gave me 500 random cards for $50. That card won me many games

Love these videos of interesting pro games! - one of my favorites is a legacy hypergenesis vs elves game where elves just wins off the hypergenesis cast.

Sneak and Show, and Bant Food Chain are my favorite legacy decks. I love Brad Nelson, and his Leeroy Jankins style of play.

Would love a video on the Gab Nassif Ignite Memories moment too. That also has to be pretty damn unlikely, not 0,2 percent but still!

I drew 14 lands in a row in a prerelease after getting my opponent to 1 life with the 2 lands and 5 spells from my opener. My deck was well shuffled in sleeves just destined for an L.

Considering how many cards he saw it is surprising that it was still a fairly high probability. 1 in 500 is not that unlikely.

Magic Arena player: "Nah! That's pretty normal."

Loving the content. Been on a binge since I found you. Would love to see a compilation of misplays caught on tape (bonus for reaction of players realizing it)

Dude had over half his deck looked at and couldn’t seal it lol man that’s the feel-beds

Lol if I ever get to meet Brian in real life I'll say one thing "Brian, how you Braun-Duin man?!"

I swear the whole time watching BBD vs Brad Nelson right now all I can think about is Todd Anderson vs CVM playing their own match where they're both just absolutely going off but not actually getting ahead 🤣🤣🤣

Sneak attack is hilarious because your using it to summon large creatures. On the art you see a dragon, so i can't help but image prankster dragons sneaking up on people or other dragons, doing the looney toons tip toe.

I was in the finals of a mirrodin draft tournament, swung all out thinking I had game on next turn. The sunblast angel drops, my dreams of first dissolve right before my eyes.

The commentary on this is gold.

The real tragedy in this video is riffle shuffling dual lands.

I once had a similar game where after idk how many blank turns just draw pass, and never finding the sneak attack or show and tell i hard casted the freaking griselbrand from my hand. LOL.

I've been noticing some odd shuffling from BBD - 13:47 he either shuffles the deck so as to leave the top or bottom alone. It's making me angry lol - shuffle the whole deck!

final of a local tournament, mill, 18 land drop in 18 turns XD. finally i lost ahahah

this one time I had my brother down to 1 life by turn 4, was ready to turn 5 him but he was able to hold on with a few counters and well placed defense. I think I then top decked 14 lands, in the end I had almost all of my land on the field and lost. Only 23 land in a 61 card deck, I have yet to see anyone get flooded that bad.

Dude that anxiety in that room was probably thicker then shiz

I'm new in Magic, so i don't know if it's so rare, but once i was playing whie / black, draw 34 cards and none plains. I ended up with My hand full of white cards and discarding every end turn, until i lost, so i don't know, maybe i could keep drawing swamps

feels like the arena shuffler lol

That was intense. I've never played this and I have no idea what I am watching, but there was something going on there.

I was playing historic on Arena. I had a Faceless Haven land with one of the counters from Book Exalted Deeds on it (the one the gives the same effect as a Platinum Angel) and I also had a Nissa Who Shakes the World token in play that makes all my lands indestructible. I thought there was no chance I could lose. I don't know how much life I was at but I was in a huge negative. My opponent kept swinging in each turn despite not being able to kill me but kept enough back that he could block everything I threw at him. It got to the point that he was about to lose from card draw but then he played a Shadowspear... I think you can guess what happened next.

8:50 "Brian Braun-Duin doesn't even blink" (Blinks 100x for 25 seconds)

Was expecting to see the gabriel nacif ignite memories moment But i'm not disappointed. This was really good too!

Damn, that was rough. I would be so frustrated!

It's like watching a man getting struck by lightning 3 times on the same day...Lol

I don't know why but the sigh of relief from both players and the judges at the end of the match cracked me up.

This reminds me of the guy who somehow magically drew every copy of scapeshift in his deck, and drawing literally any other card would have won him the game.

That was so intents it made me want to go camping

for a more casual mtg-player like myself it is so absurd to see those pros slamming volcanic islands on the table like its nothing…

I love these videos recapping pro play!

I remember back in the day my opponent cast Gamble like 4 games in a row with like 5 or 6 cards in hand, and I managed to pick the card they tutored for every time.

I remember gluing a Lotus Petal to one of my card boxes as a kid.

Oh you sweet summer child. I just finished tracking 200 games of Magic on Arena, 154 of which I was on the draw. Brian Braun-Duin merely adopted the bad luck. I was born in it.

"the most INTENSE GAME of MAGIC ....... where nothing happens" is 100% accurate.

I recall watching this live, odds there where no hits were crazy.

"at least I've chicken" 😂😂 you didn't let me down, Nikachu

Many times I've lost after being on the top. That's maybe becaus I most of the time play multiplayer games (rising too soon to top means everybody else will gang on you). The worst time I believe was the time I cleaned the board with Ugin 2 times, killed every creature with Deathbringer Regent several turns after that, and still lost the game.

WOW!!! O my goodness I’d be shiny bald too after all that! .2% odds good lord xD

The judge besides Brandon is the realest person on that arena.

Well, after his start, he had his chicken for sure

As a yugioh player I was both confused, excited, impressed, and not impressed at the same time

what a plot armor! wouldn't believed it if it wasn't recorded.

Playing Goblins in MTGA, I play Muxus into 6 lands every second time...

The manic fiddling with their hands drives me insane

Hey ho, I am really loving these vids which give some insight into the pro scene. Are you perchance planning vids like "Most incredible top decks caught on camera", "Luckiest player caught on camera" or even "The most 200 IQ moves caught on camera"? I think those would be interesting too. But keep up the infos about cheats too. It's kinda fascinating to see what people are able to come up with, and can also serve us honest players to learn for what we need to keep an eye out.

Bonus points for all the Leeroy Jenkins.

One of my worst losses where I should have won was because of bad draw luck just like this. I had a wizard deck where the win condition was stalling until casting "Day of Dragons" ideally with, I think, "Temporal Manipulation" so I could make all my little wizards 5/5 dragons, skip to my next turn, bounce any blockers and run right through them. Problem was, even though I could look through something like the next 15 cards, I could NOT get one more freaking Island. Finally I had my last land I needed, moved it to the top and just had to wait one more turn. That turn my opponent plays a card that destroys all lands. SHUT DOWN.

Clearly neither player possessed the Heart of the Cards.

If only they had a 1/1 creature they could have finished their opponent off first before getting their combo. 🤣😂

Sneak show is always my favorite deck

The Magic Arena shuffler is designed after Brian's deck.

Good job Bard Narset!

This game just looks like a classic round of MTG arena

I'm glad that even the pros sometimes get screwed over by the top deck. Sometimes it feels like it only happens to me.

The Music reminds me of Final Fantasy 8. Jesus.. all that memories came back. Memories from a time, where my biggest worry was: "do i have enough pocket money to buy magic cards?" Farewell, good old days..

I was shocked at the basic island of BBD 😂

LEROY JENKINS!!!!!!! Damn it leroy

My God! Absolutely suspenseful.

Brain Braun-Duin is such a cool name. I’m gonna use it for a dnd npc

There's unlucky, and then there's whatever this is.

he spent all the luck having the counter on turn one.

I wish I knew what was going on. But it’s still interesting lol

Nikachu! React to the death and taxes surviving an emrakul attack and still winning!

Someone needs to show this video to desolator magic the next time he complains about the shuffler in arena

What an intense game

Okay video. Thanks for uploading!

In poker, there are things called "bad beat jackpots," where if you get _that_ unlucky, you win tens of thousands of dollars. A lot of poker rooms, the bad beat jackpot is progressive, meaning that it increases with every hand that the poker room plays and nobody wins it.

Forget being mana screwed. Man got creature screwed

should've stopped shuffling after digging that many

oh look, that's my usual game of hearthstone when i used to play combos... the combo was always in the last 3 cards of the deck... and i punctually managed to last up to one turn before drawing it and then they killed me

I used to love sneak attack or Elvish Piper, use the Piper for Haste creatures. Force of will is filthy.

I love this type of videos

I was gonna sub but my whole deck is lands..... jokes on you!!!!

really efficient to use a fetchland after ponder

So there was this one time a few months back, I was playing with my Purphoros, God of the Forge commander deck. I chosen to keep a deck that wasn't very good, but it looked nice. Right off the bat, I found myself in a tough position. Long story short, by turn 6 all I had was my commander and five mountains on the battlefield, and my hand was out of lands. I did have Fiery Emancipation and Skittering Invasion in my hand, though. I untap, draw, and it's a land. I play it, and lacking any better move, played Fiery Emancipation. My next turn comes up, and somehow, both my commander and enchantment are still on the battlefield. I draw. It's a land. I cast Skittering Invasion, which because of Purphoros and F.E., means each opponent took 30 damage. Needless to say, I won.
