[@matteorossi1172]

I can't believe that legacy is the format where the tempo deck controls the control deck

[@sirwolf3617]

There's just something I genuinely enjoy about watching what I call "Chaos MTG" 😂 I tried playing this setting with my cousin and his kid and I ended up making him rage quit and I made my little cousin cry. So I've always stayed away from it. I love mill I love watching someone health dissappear on round 2/3 or milling someone in 4 or less rounds. 😅 As always Prof you bring us another fun and entertaining video. I've genuinely fallen in love with magic because of you and my cousin telling me "All the cool kids are playing MTG" during our dnd session one night.

[@BoshNRoll]

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

OMG I KNOW YOU!

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

How does he not have a verification check mark ;-;

[@davidvolkmann547]

BoshNRoll playing paper legacy is PEAK youtube content!

[@jameslove90]

Now we're cooking!!!

[@DrorSuari]

No vintage, sadness...

[@WhereIsTheIntruder]

Bosh is too humble in his presentation. Dude is an SCG invitational winner and Eternal weekend winner and perennial favorite. Watch any control league by him on his channel and you'll see just how good he is. If legacy or vintage were pro tour formats he'd be up there consistently.

[@Etaripamai47]

I play 0 legacy or vintage, and I watch his videos every day. Turn 1 Island ponder baby Edit: I'm so happy it happened

[@atomicsquirrel6457]

I think it’s classy, when you’re really good at something, to underplay it. Like, hey, Mr. Feynman, what do you do? Oh, I teach physics.

[@_Dohoss]

He also has won several cEDH tournaments. Dude knows how to play.

[@xander_man]

I’ve never seen Bosh’s content before, what a guy!

[@yaboyken]

Wow, when legacy is properly explained and it's not just a top-down view of 2 nerds killing each other with 2 lands, it's actually really interesting. Cool video

[@ivosrotir8962]

Legacy is rarely about that in fact. There are these hyper-efficient tempo decks and reanimators and Show & Tells which might show you just few cards before you are dead but the rest will show you a lot of cards. And for those I mentioned you are usually prepared so it can be hell of a game at the end with ton of cards played. Try it out. 😊 8-cast played by Brian in the 1st game has 0 reserved list cards for example. The deck is nuts.

[@Quiron1985]

Legacy is so misunderstood. There's a reason why in a Legacy Tournament, you have 50min to complete a first to 2, and every round, a couple matches go overtime. It's just not the most powerful format, by saying that, it also has the most powerfull answers. Also, that's the definition of meta. There's an answer for everything.

[@Villakarvarousku]

I realise that the Commander episodes probably get the most views, but I wish there was a larger proportion of all these other formats. I've never played Legacy and probably never will, but this was an absolute blast. Really interesting gameplay in an accessible and easy to follow style, and very entertaining all the way through. Nothing wrong with Commander of course, but there's so much of it out there already and this felt very unique.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

It's a huge problem because not only do the Commander episodes get 3-4x the views, but they also are the ones people talk about, share, etc. I love these episodes, but it feels like a lot of the community just doesn't love them back.

[@Villakarvarousku]

@@TolarianCommunityCollege Yeah, that sucks. Thank you so much for making them anyway, I hope you get to keep doing it. I'll go rewatch some of the old goodies in the meantime!

[@Ryusuta]

@@TolarianCommunityCollege I love them almost infinitely more than Commander, to be honest.

[@TheJvespi]

Honestly Shuffle up and play has become one of my favourite series

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

[@vaentkhing579]

after watching bosh's channel on youtube for a couple years and finally seeing him as a physical presence in a room with other people is like when you were a kid and realized your grandma was not just a voice on the telephone.

[@rashindus]

Today I realised he's an absolute unit, joining Reid Duke in the ranks of MtG greats that are much taller than I originally imagined.

[@countOfHenneberg]

​@@rashindusbut how tall? I know Nizzahon on his channel has said he's 6'4" (so 9" more than me). Is anyone prepared to tell?

[@lordmeep5803]

Real. Scared me for a hot second.

[@asacoleman1284]

Loving the multiple format content - as a newly minted fan of legacy, I think I speak for all 7 of us when I say this was a delight.

[@gabrielharvey956]

Make that 8 😊

[@danmatthiesen9160]

@@gabrielharvey956 the 9 of us have a great community

[@omgMBP]

Better go ahead and call it 9. I’m hooked.

[@jameslove90]

Well, if you haven't count me in previously, we're already double digit! 💪🏽

[@grahamoliver1470]

Almost a dozen!

[@mosesmckinney1373]

For a while I never really understood the difference between a pro magic player and someone like me but hearing him explain how he knew flickerwisp was there and all kinds of stuff makes me realize how far ahead pro players are in terms of their knowledge of how to pilot their decks but also others in the format.

[@idlemindedmage6925]

You should really give his content a try. He's a fantastic content creator. So freaking good at magic.

[@emerson685]

Bosh showing why he’s one of my favorite content creators: funny, knowledgeable about the game and excellent at explaining his thought process, and he’s got that buttery, NPR-voice 😂

[@lordmeep5803]

I started watching legacy content probably a year ago and in that time I have fallen asleep listening to many different legacy creators, but this comment has validated me falling asleep to Bosh more than anyone else 🤣

[@josht8156]

Seeing the professor attempt CEDH would be hilarious, fantastic episode!!

[@killpioo2]

Oh my god the crossover I never knew I needed

[@gqazndood]

I believe they have an episode of CEDH

[@TheSebasTie]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfahGuPiNqXoJIsi=6j0AnVCrFRJ72MhZ They did a cEDH episode. But if I recall correctly prof didn't play in it

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Our cEDH episode can be watched here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfahGuPiNqXoJI

[@gabrielschmid1854]

​@@TolarianCommunityCollegeyeah but the prof didn't play

[@ozzysmith2571]

I love the way they talked about the format in this episode. Super educational.

[@amdeaton]

Love seeing bosh on the channel

[@Bruhgli]

Brian has been my favorite content creator period. He’s one of the primary reasons I play control and play legacy. When I started learning his play patterns and thought processes it really inspired me to pick up MTG again, and I sure am glad I did, it’s been a fantastic three years.

[@abc123connor5]

I love Brian's voice, it's so relaxing to listen too

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

It really is!

[@jameslove90]

For a couple times I've made the mistake to watch his videos when I was tired... I slept really well but I still don't know if he won the first match of the league 😂

[@reckross331]

I feel these 2 guys are easily the best guests you have ever had on the show. A+ commentary and real time thought process and evaluation. Literally never watched a game of legacy in my life but it didn’t matter. I cud watch stuff like this all day.

[@music00soba]

holy shit that brainstorm lock at 48:00 and bosh's monologue about it is probably one of the funniest things ive ever seen. god i love bosh so happy to see him on the channel

[@SlimyShadeSlimShady]

Yooo! The editor did a bang up job at 9:43, good stuff.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

We have such a talented team!

[@lanceford9994]

Love the 1 vs 1 episodes. Commander is fun, but it's refreshing to see different content.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

While we do about half. commander I do love getting the chance to showcase other formats.

[@rykx0r]

Brian's got big "anime villain explaining your upcoming demise" energy.

[@ravenjoker254]

this was probably the most tense episode of Shuffle Up And Play so far. that third force coming down was crazy, legacy truly is a format I hope one day we'll get to see Manaless Dredge, definitely my most favourite deck in Magic

[@ildathet]

I already like Bosh videos, but having him interact, especially with sarcasm, is a gem, prof always bring the best of his guests

[@gryphonprovenzano3156]

As much as I love the commander games I what made me watch shuffle up and play was the stand and legacy and vintage style formats you do I hope you play more of these types

[@FPRobber]

I couldn't agree more. The only other channel I can recommend for paper non-commander gameplay is Cardmarket's YT channel.

[@Alowishius]

That triple teferi on the brainstorm was freaking hilarious

[@teusvandermeij7287]

This is the episode I was waiting for, both Bosh and Anzid are some amazing content creators and players, and despite Prof's 'playful shade' on the number of players playing Legacy, it's actually doing pretty well. Don't let the complete neglect by WotC fool you, community run events are strong and plenty!

[@impishrunt]

Let the record show that this is the absolute best episode of Shuffle Up and Play by every objective metric.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Swish!

[@RickHardpack]

Nice to see the best format in Magic on the biggest channel in Magic. Go get 'em Bosh!

[@Kaisingsens]

this is the episode I was waiting for since the show launched. thanks prof for highlighting my favourite format!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

FYI this is our 3rd Legacy episode! We had Andrea Mengucci on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZm8pIZsYsSnfKs

[@Kaisingsens]

@@TolarianCommunityCollege I've seen them as well. But especially happy with the choice of players. two pillars of legacy content creation!

[@proxidize5738]

You know, it might just be the perspective but I didn't expect Brian to be a literal Giant of a man

[@mariusblack9445]

I'm really glad Prof had him explain the combo at the end, I fully didn't understand the DREAD over the Illusionist until then

[@maasee123]

Two of the best people to showcase the legacy format ❤ Here go ingredients for bananana bread, im sure you got it 2 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour 4-5 very ripe bananas mashed (1 1/2 cups) 1/2 cup 1/2 cup 1 stick, softened 2 2 tablespoons 1/2 teaspoon 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon 1/2-1 cup I used 1 cup

[@DeCode343]

Wow, most exciting games I saw in a while. Great cards and decks you dont see all day, played by extremely calm&collected and focused players. Thanks for the explanation of the last turn, the turn that never was.

[@KingBobXVI]

49:33 - the editor here, so good - that zoom in after showing the brainstorm lock is subtle, but sassy, lol.

[@michel0dy]

The banter on the table is so good! Both guests are a delight to watch

[@T3223R3T]

I really love the non-commander episodes

[@TheForbiddenDance]

Commander is the worst magic format.

[@Derpmind]

There are so many Commander shows, so I'm happy this one isn't always Commander.

[@yubro888]

Love Bosh's perpetual "I'm done with everything tone", its hilarious

[@virgileolivie2531]

So happy to see legacy content ^.^ Hope to see more of it !

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

More to come!

[@nicplz]

As someone who recently got into Legacy I found this video to be SUPER helpful. I love all of the little notes from Brian and Anuraag.

[@Sepulcralis00]

This episode was so much fun! "He's a sick individual...and I like it!" 😂

[@coffeestain3239]

Watching BoshnRoll in paper was even more enjoyable than his already excellent MTGO content on his channel. Here's hoping for a return appearance!

[@dunstonlion1342]

"I am turning into a fly!" - Jeff Goldbloom as Ian Malcolm in Independence Day... probably.

[@thenightangel05]

Bosh explains everthing so calmly. I have played Magic for 10 years and I just learned more from this video than I have in a very long time. Awesome video, thank you all.

[@kevinnines6924]

I don’t ever watch legacy but I was glued to the screen!!!! So cool

[@ljlk8583]

I love how prof talks about his old video where he shows how to put dice on your library so you don't forget upkeep triggers, then doesn't use the advice with delver out

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Classic Prof.

[@EngeltheFallen]

First time seeing these guys. Know Bosh by rep, and his reputation is well earned, he is a hypnotic personality that is absolutely hilarious. Anuraag is just great energy, another guy I am seeing on your show wondering why I am just seeing him now. Big fan of a more diverse MtG so always great to see diverse people on. Hope I can catch his streams soon.

[@Jokojakx]

Came here after Prof called everyone out for only watching Commander content. This was a super fun and interesting video displaying crazy decks. Going to try and go back and watch more of this kind of content and keep up with it in the future!

[@Grand_Admiral]

The explanations during this game were so clear and so fun. Just a joy to watch.

[@Ser_Sunday]

I just wanna say that I really enjoy the shuffle up and play series. Its been awhile since I've sat down at a table with friends and laughed like I do watching these videos. Keep it up and thanks to everyone involved, especially the folks behind the cameras we don't see. You're the real heroes. :)

[@dylanr.27]

The zoom in after the brainstorm was hilarious

Hey prof, just came from your ixilan video. Didnt get this one recommended naturally, but now im here for the engagement.

[@gersoncoelho]

Legacy content: Best episode ever OFC !! YEAHHHHHHHH

[@befuddledfaun]

I don't play Legacy due to cost restrictions, but man was this fun to watch. I've actually seen all the Legacy games on Shuffle Up and Play, but having these veterans on explaining everything made it very enjoyable. I know commander is the popular format, but there's just so much commander content it's honestly nauseating. This felt so fresh (funny as it's Legacy) and so fun, PLEASE post more Legacy content prof! I will watch, like, comment, and share this video and all future Legacy videos with my playgroup. Mtg needs this!!! ❤🎉

[@vinterbjork4128]

Legacy hype! Really enjoying the explanations and educational pace of the game.

[@bobbiechristine]

This was so much fun. Thanks for the stellar narration everyone!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

14:40 You should ask that question to a vendor at an 93/94 event, you'll love their response. Talking about 93/94, prof when are you making an episode about old school? It would be sweet to see two classic OS decks battle it out, perhaps the Deck vs Reanimator.

[@noahwick3217]

love watching my favorite 60 card format being played by my favorite youtube channels! boshnroll kept me loving magic and TCC keeps me happy and informed about it!

[@diogeneticist3585]

After the cut around 54:50 the back of prof's jacket gets stuck around his chair, I can only imagine he jumped up with glee at the prospect of winning and entangled himself. Well earned mind.

[@davemunro9823]

I went to school with Brian Coval! So glad to see him on the show! I wish I knew he was an MTG player back then. I would've loved to have been destroyed by a master.

[@Stefanos07520]

Watching these 2 play each other while the professor sits on the sidelines, basically going "c'mon, do something cool!" is just so fun to watch.

[@woodybutler]

First legacy game that I have watched/understood. Really appreciate this episode. I've never seen either of these guys, but my 2 new faves

[@GothamKnight-hsw4vx526430]

I've never had Any interest or care what so damn ever for Legacy, until now! This episode was surprisingly phenomenal, entertaining and engaging! Thanks a bunch guys!

[@ShadowDaFrog]

Legacy is one of my favorite formats to watch (with intentions to dive in eventually), and this is due to seeing the lines that people take compared to the plays that I might make or be looking for in that situation. While being my first time seeing Anu play, I've been watching Bosh for a while and his content is what has helped me strive to be a better magic player. Thank you for showing off the Legacy format on Shuffle Up and Play, I can't wait to see more!

[@unseeliedream42]

I love the way you explain every single step!

[@christianaguanno3834]

I appreciated this video was made!, thank you so much for featuring legacy!

Bravo to Mr. Coval for showing us the inter thoughts of a legacy player during play. Really cool to see the lines of play, things to watch for, etc.

[@Cfoupo]

[@Rakafeth]

Thank you for explaining everything so I can actually understand it 😅

[@kingsteven02]

I really enjoy the 60 card format episode. I haven't played legacy in 15 years and it has changed so much but have stay the same in so many ways. Good episode really enjoyed it.

[@Angders]

The entire Shuffle Up And Play series has consistently been knocking it out of the park, but this episode takes the crown. 👑

[@nickraupp6104]

I found out this video exists because of one of the Ixalan videos. Awesome!

[@Martini_1911]

I really love how Shuffle Up and Play's structure really lets the personalities of the players shine through, even more so than a lot of other mtg gameplay shows (no shade towards any of them)

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

i dont think i've ever played a game of legacy but i listen to bosh's podcast eternal glory every week just cuz its cool to hear them talk about the format. anuraag i've watched stream many times, very good player also. very entertaining thank you

[@nathanielreichley4640]

Was not expecting to see BoshnRoll here! A welcome surprise though!

[@italostanley2608]

Amazing video, Bosh explained the cards so well that even someone thas Is new to legacy would understand clearly

[@clawtooth35]

one of the reasons his channel was so easy for me to get into -- I had no knowledge of legacy when I started watching his channel and now even though I don't play it, I watch his videos and know the rough patterns of the format really well!

Please please make this series. Even doing this one per 6months would be amazing. We legacy palyers like Brian and Anuraag. Also, it is pleasure to see legacy here. 🙏 Paper legacy coverage with such quality editing is also rare. Other people should see such amazing cards more, please. 😊🙏

12:23 Question: how was he able to cast the thought-monitor if lotus petal had to be sac'd for it's mana, thereby nulling though-monitor's ability to be reduced by that extra mana lotus petal being on the board provided?

[@JaySay]

Loved both of these guys! Their banter and plays are super fun, and Bosh is such a great magic player; he really reads the game like a top level player. Would love to see him face off against Ced & Patrick, or maybe even someone as great as _The Professor_ one day! Legacy is such a fun format to me, because it's much more open (obv with the card pool,) and lends to the biggest variety when it comes to decks. I've never been interested in making the "most powerful" decks, or in copying the leading decks based on the top cards for the format (or any format, really,) and legacy & vintage is an easy way for me to delineate to players "I just made a deck with some good cards that I liked. I don't think anything's banned, but 🤷‍♂️" Back when I started playing it was fun to come up with interesting standard decks, but now it feels like there's so many formats to look into, and each one is either "the best and overpowered," or "the worst and overpowered"... I kind of realized some years ago that I didn't really like playing decks that (it sounds weird...) the goal is to win and be the best at the table. It's more fun for me to make a deck suited around a premise, combo or not, and see how well I can run it. That's a part of the reason why I was never that interested in tournament level play. There are some exceptionally talented players, absolutely; but I never cared to worry much about a record, just how a deck plays and if I enjoy it or not.

[@theamazingfroboy]

I know this is really embarrassing to admit, but since discovering BoshNRoll's channel about a year ago I have been falling asleep to his voice every night. His voice so pleasant to listen too and I'm so happy you all got together for this. Do more in the future please~

Im gonna be real, im so glad you had that CTA in your ixalan cards video. I never woulda watched this otherwise and this was neat lmao
