I've got a couple old winner decks with the gold borders. 1999 and 2000. WAY kewl.

[@CardmarketMagic]

@@coreyriegle1328 I LOVE those! They are so randomly expensive though... I'm actually working on next week's video right now which isa feature match with those decks, but from 1997, played by none other than Frank Karsten! :D

[@coreyriegle1328]

@@CardmarketMagic they are actually why I started using sleeves. That way I could play them against my brother. I've had these for about 20 years now. I've got a few cards from that era and from 01, but nothing after that. Im stoked about the videos. I really like what you're doing with the channel. It's becoming everything I hoped it would, YOU GUYS are who we look to these days. I love this game, my brother and I have been braining eachother for 24 years and you spell it out how we wanna hear it. Keep on keepin on. It's almost time to wake the kids up for school, so this is my free time. Later on, dudes. 🤘😎🤙

[@betasequence4885]

As a passionate lifelong red deck only player thank you so very very much for this :) Absolutely the most wonderful video I could possibly find. Thank you :)

[@chillywings]

@@CardmarketMagic Not too random. They were a collectors product after all. However there is an extremely high price variation on the market. The same deck in the same condition could sell for $50 or $200. Simultaneous active listings can easily have $100 differences, up to like $500 for the more expensive decks (eg Matt Linde with Gaea's Cradle) or for some reason people list some of the 2003 decks for way over face value. And yes, I know all this because I am currently in the process of collecting all the decks lol

[@der_ast3275]

"Red players don't ask questions. They just attack and let their opponents decide." This one made me chuckle as a red player. Great video Carl.

[@peterkirk8510]

“Math is for blockers”

[@luismanuellmf]

I also play monored and a friend of mine made such a weird compliment like, I thought you were a smart person, I don't know why you play monored. And I was like, yeah that's the point, I spent a fraction of money you've spent building my deck and I have more win rate, isn't that smart?

[@theHalken]

Play red, eat lunch. 1. Win or lose you finish early and have the time. 2. You didn't spend your last money on duals and fetches, so you can still afford it.

[@XTempestBuster]

It's so real too. Math is for everyone else. Swing face, feel great

[@CodiTC]

Carl, you crushed this video! I've given you some flack in the past for always being too loud and yelling in other videos but I take it all back, well done mate!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you! And you are not wrong, I am loud 😅 There's not much I am physically capable of doing to fix that

[@eljuanpapas]

Not yelling may become the new standard ...

[@nateblanche2551]

Its like a good friend once said to me, true to this comment especially "backhanded compliments are always more effective"

[@millenialmonster]

I love Carl being loud & yelling!

[@maxbladel]

Never change Carl!

[@CERTAIND00M]

I can still remember, with crystal clarity, the first time I was ever bolted to death from 9 life. And this was 20 years ago, when 9 life was still a lot. I looked down at my board full of useless green creatures I had just spent four rounds pumping and thinking, "Were we even playing the same game?" Red Deck Wins because it has MtG's lowest skill floor and arguably its highest skill ceiling.

[@CardmarketMagic]

Wow, this almost feels like a poem

[@CERTAIND00M]

​@@CardmarketMagic Lol! I'm honored. It definitely felt poetic. Like an epic tragedy.

[@piercearora7681]

In my opinion RDW has a lower skill ceiling than many Tempo and Spellslinger decks, but the more Burn flavors can come close. As tilting as it is to get completely run over, I definitely respect the RDW players who actually think about their decisions, I just get frustrated when these people make so many obvious misplays and still run me over because they drew well on the play.

[@peterkirk8510]

Highest skill ceiling is excessive, but it’s much higher than haters would like to admit

[@theHalken]

You can win with luck, but when you are sitting on a bolt and asking yourself "removal or face?" you need to know the other decks and what they are running. And how to read your opponent. Do they look like they want to take it on the chin but would miss their creature? And having a sense of probability helps too. Knowing roughly how probable drawing another bolt Vs a hasty creature Vs a dumb mountain is not the easiest

[@digitalcardboard]

Clearly infinite efforts into creating this video. Never would’ve thought I’d be watching a 40 min documentary one red deck wins… but thanks for making this 🎉

[@simondezeeuw2042]

The production on this video is insane! Well done Carl!

[@Stayner]

It felt like a modernized version of Rhystic Studios video.

[@GraemeGunn]

@@Stayner modernized? Rhystic Studies isn't that old lol

[@Carnane]

This and the Azorius Control video are fascinating. Competitive and just MTG history videos in general are really lacking on KZbin, so I love these. Keep at it if you can, great work!

[@margibso]

10:22 It's crazy to see Ironclaw Orcs, a 2/2 for 2 with DOWNSIDE, being part of a top tier deck. Especially along side broken cards like Fireblast. It tuns out that 4 damage for free and instant speed is pretty good.

[@CardmarketMagic]

Creatures were so bad in early magic compared to the spells 😅 it's hilarious how Ironclaw Orcs was played in formats with force of will and swords to plowshares

[@BionicPie]

This is amazing. Carl please host more of these. Your energy is just perfect for these type of videos ❤

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you that's very kind of you to say! ❤️

[@alexiswigginton452]

Im hyped for magic history, i love this type of stuff

[@thegreatmaximilian]

Really cool video, awesome storytelling. I love a good mono red deck. Right now, the Pioneer and Pauper versions of mono red are my favorite, thanks to Swift Spear. I hope this does well and becomes a whole series, like you alluded to.

[@CardmarketMagic]

Swiftspear is a such a wild card! And good on you for playing pauper 🥳 that format needs all the traction it can get!

[@jonathanjernigan3865]

Swiftspear is an insane threat in pauper

[@bunni2583]

How are you doing in pauper post-ban?

[@thegreatmaximilian]

@@bunni2583 Worse, but that's okay. Pauper needed the refresh.

[@corey6597]

Probably one of the best videos to come out, yall keep raising the bar. Good job, can't wait to see more of this series

[@supazio]

Really glad to see this type of video getting made. RDW is the quintessential "it's for noobs who just cast spells and turn sideways", and yet- Red Deck Wins.

[@fabiogarzaro8272]

Yes please, this is probably the best format of the channel, i would love an analysis on tempo decks!

[@alexiswigginton452]

Holy crap the alarm at 6:55 is my wake up alarm and it gave me shivers

[@CardmarketMagic]

Hahahaha I'm so sorry. I should have thought about that 🤔it's not the alarm I personally use and when I hear my alarm in the wild, it also stresses me out immediately. Sorry for that

[@MFSIMBA]

Huge fan of this video. When I was first getting into Pioneer, I didn't really have a lot of money to buy in with one of the big decks or anything, so I just got the Burn precon and modified it a bit. Despite playing with a deck that cost maybe $60-65 total, I was going 3-1 or 4-0 all the time at my locals. I've transitioned it to Atarka red now, but I've been forever converted into a Red player in constructed formats.

[@snowhusk]

Very cool and informative video! I especially liked all the nerdy stuff like in that "is bolting a creature worth more than 3 damage to the face" segment, very cool conceptual stuff, never seen that angle discussed before

[@pathtracker4944]

The editing is just amazing. Really disappointing to see that it only got 3k likes when so much effort is put into it.

[@BonesofGoldSkateboarding]

Thank you so much for this loveletter to mono red ❤ it was the first deck I’ve heard about as a teen in the 90’s , and recently I got back into magic and it’s been my deck and I love it 🥰

[@HadesElderSage]

Amazing video and I love history videos! Red deck wins got me into 60 card formats from commander. Being able to play my favorite card a 4 of (lightning bolt) in modern makes me so happy.

[@daredewley9231]

This video is great. I'd love more of these in depth looks at mtg history. Keep up the great work CM crew, thanks for all you do.

[@Haurent]

Deck stories are the best! Hope this series does well, because I wanna know everything I can about my favourite archetype Golgari Rock

[@CardmarketMagic]

If I get to make another one of these (it's tough to justify them because they are so time intensive and expensive), the next one I want to do is GB rock (and, at times, jund)! 🎉

[@dougbostick7543]

I wish these videos were easier to make because these are my favorite on this channel. As a player who has only been playing for the last 5 years it's super cool and informative to learn about the history of mtg deck building. Thank you for this!

[@PraetorGix]

If you asked me before making this series if I'd be interested in learning MTG history I'd have said nah thx but these documentaries ended up being one of my favourite series from your channel. Kudos on the research and effort put into them!

[@loxeggcheese]

Been eagerly waiting for another of this style videos from y’all! The UW control video was so so good. Just started this one and I’m already hooked!

[@filipeestacio]

Carl's delivery in this video is the best I've seen from him. Fantastic production and great subject! More like this please!!

[@daniellaplante5725]

I LOVED this video. Just got back into mtg. Caught me up on the history of the deck I used to play ( sly ) . Amazing job. SUB! also sending to all my mtg friends.

[@LyleH-13]

Carl i thought your Jund video was one of the best magic videos id ever seen. I looked and found Azorius and this video. You should compile this style of video into a Playlist. really incredible history lessons for the younger players and a trip down memory lane for me.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoyed them! :D a Playlist for these is a great idea! Is there a specific archetype you'd like to see in the next one?

[@LyleH-13]

@@CardmarketMagic i know its hard to continue to find mega archetypes like these 3, but there seems no better way to tell the story of modern magic than the deck that kicked off the first modern expansion. affinity.

[@LyleH-13]

@@CardmarketMagic now that im thinking about how Affinity is a good way to tell the history of modern. A history of each format would be cool. Maybe not standard, But vintage type 1, type 1.5/legacy, Modern and Pauper could be neat tales

[@CardmarketMagic]

I was speaking today with Frank Karsten about doing the history of affinity :) I'll probably be doing that one next. Of course, we could weave the history of modern into it

[@Shikigami6]

Thank you! Its so nice to see some good researched, in-depths documentations on our favourite game! Especially since many of us were not even born when Magic came out.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'll try my best to satisfy with the next one as well :)

Correction, Jackle Pup was the first RED 1 mana 2/1. We had Savannah Lions since Alpha

[@MrCaptainJack2]

Incredible ep, esp because you brought such a high quality player such as Thalai. Excellent work all around!

[@nicotoneff6496]

Hey great work. I learned a lot! I typically play commander these days, so this gave me an insight into how standard actually plays out in tournaments. Also As someone newly getting back into magic since back in the day when I played it as a kid, watching these clips from the 90s was hillerious

[@bryanbonar]

I played standard from 2014 to 2017, and I do remember fondly all the super powerful red decks within this timeframe, including Boss Sligh, Rabble Red, Atarka Red, and Ramunap Red. All wonderfully powerful decks. As a long time mono black control player, I would love to see a historical deep dive on that archetype sometime.

[@scarab5Q]

Watched this again, left a comment and liked for the algorithm. These history videos rule!!! Please do more of them!!

[@williamhendricks6070]

Great video as always. Love these deeper dives. As I was taught, the "Deadguy" moniker, especially in Deadguy Ale, is a reference to Rogue Ale's Deadguy Ale, being based in the Pacific-Northwest, and also that they as players were putting out their own "rogue brews".

[@KnicKnac]

I remember goblins as the red deck during Onslaught adding a few tools, but I had a friend who played legacy so that history is just adding new pieces here and there. I know some have a splash of burn if needed.

[@user-rl7hm7ix5n]

The video was great! But, even though I understand the focus was on standard, one that I feel was missing is the extended RDW (I guess it was around the time where it disappeared from standard). It was basically the old small creatures + a lot of mana control in tangle wire/rishadan port/wasteland (and a new Ball Lightning in Blistering Firecat later on). I know it's a personal thing, but for me this "Ill just screw your mana while beating you down with a jackal pup" is one of the most iconic versions of the deck to date.
