I have nooooooo-fucking-idea what just happened...but I'm very excited.

[@ScarFearz]

+Paradox Basically, Nassif had Ignite Memories(5mana cost), Grapeshot(2mana cost) and Rite of Flame(1mana cost). Chapin used his own Ignite Memories to storm him 5 times with it. The only outcomes where Nassif survived was to hit Rite of Flame twice for 1 damage each and never hit Ignite Memories, which happened.

Sebastian Sewolf hes playing a mono red foot fetish/grape drank hybrid. It was first used in 1600's and topped a few world tourneys but seto kaiba showed up and tore up the 4th grape shot thus making his 3 copies the last existing copies left on the planet. The worth of the 3 grape shots alone is worth more than a vintage set of power 9. Ah what a crazy year to be alive that was.

The odds of that exact string happening are 1/243 or about 0.4% The odds of him surviving the 5 copies based on what was in his hand and his starting life total of 9 is 26/243 or about 10.7%.

@@notorioezz it was a few turns in so maybe about 10 cards total math the odds it’s around .245% to get those odds and dodge lethal chances on 5 copies of the spell Actually after crunching numbers The percentage is closer to .0067% So he was quite lucky

[@yummychips_]

@@badvoodoo2097 wait... I don't understand. Are you trying to calculate the odds of the match playing out. I don't play much magic, but if we are just considering the 5 copy thing. I seem to understand, he had to avoid 1 card, and land on 1 card twice?. If there are only 3 options, and 5 counts, then the total possible premutations is 243. Out of those 243 possibilities, he has to avoid 1 card which leaves 32 premutations. In those 32, he also has to land on the same card twice, where 10 outcomes will not let that happen. This results a total of 22 outcomes that would have kept him alive or an estimated 9.05% chance of surviving. Not really sure where you guys are getting your other math from or how this is a 1 in a million moment. If we are talking about the math for the whole match, than we are leaving probable and going into statstical. Of course statisical is poorly reflected in card games in general.

[@Hernandezzy09]

When did professional Magic events stop being like this? These two guys are smiling, laughing, communicating with one another, and even joking. These days, it seems scarce to hear the players utter even more than a sentence to one another, let alone crack a smile or a joke.

Target player reveals a card at random from their hand. Ignite Memories deals damage to that player equal to that card's converted mana cost. Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn. You may choose new targets for the copies.)

Yea.. I think Ive seen like maybe one live stream of MTG (just happened to tune into it on twitch) and granted idk what stage of the tournament I was watching (semi-finals or finals etc) but the players were definitely much more stoic/focused as was the crowd and commentators even. Not that it bothered me though. Im often the same way when Im playing a good opponent. Also though, there wasn’t anything as hilarious as this going down. Regardless, I think the fact they were both smiling and seemed to be appreciating the odds more than the win/loss made the whole scene much more enjoyable to watch.

[@Toxeensynth]

[@irlrp]

Well it's a situation where everything is pretty much set, and there is pretty much no way to punt at all... So you can just chill... In tense situations, there is no way this would occur ^^ cause you need to be 100% focused. I've made punts myself in tournaments cause i got distracted (and cause i was bad too lol but that makes it even more important to not let the guard down)

[@Skronkful]

He survives by hitting 5 1-cost, 1 2-cost + 4 1-cost, 2 2-cost + 3 1-cost, 3 2-cost + 2 1-cost. The numbers of ways in which these can happen (i.e. the number of combinations giving the same outcome) are respectively 1, 5, 10, 10. Every outcome is equally likely (unless someone was cheating), namely 1/(3^5). Therefore the probability is 26/(3^5)=26/243 which is about 0.1070, 10.7% The probability of surviving with exactly 1 life (happens only with 3 2-cost + 2 1-cost) is 10/243 which is about 0.04115, 4.115%

[@uncommon_snail8545]

+Joshua Ahrens Gabriel Nassif had a very very slim chance of surviving the Ignite Memories so he chose to let his opponent resolve the effect. However when Nassif cast ignite memories on his opponent, no matter which combination of cards he picked from his opponents hand the opponent would have lost. Since Nassif had a chance to survive he chose to play, but since his opponent was dead regardless he just showed his hand to say "Yep, you got me, I lose."

[@SpiteBellow]

So technically, it is 26/243 = 10.7%. That is impressive luck for a normal person, but just another day in the life of Gabriel Nassif!

[@hiimemily]

Odds of not hitting Ignite Memories: 32/243 ([2/3]^5) Odds of hitting Grapeshot all five times: 1/243 ([1/3]^5) Odds of hitting Grapeshot four times and Rite of Flame once: 5/243 (5*[1/3]^5) Odds of Nassif surviving: (32-1-5)/243, or 26/243. 10.7% chance - hardly one in a million!

[@SpiteBellow]

There are a lot of problems with your maths. You only need to look at combinations, not permutations with your third calc. The third calc is also lethal (2+2+2+2+1=9). You are also missing the times when rite of flame is chosen two,three, and four times. The solution is way easier. There are four combinations that let him live (11111, 22211, 22111, 21111) divided by the # of possible outcomes (1/3 ^5) = 4/243.

[@dsweet5273]

Some Person its about a 1/61 chance.

[@hiimemily]

SpiteBellow There are 243 different _permutations_, 26 of which allow him to live.

[@andrewsparkes8829]

To be fair, it isn't. Million-to-one CHANCES show up a lot more than the time it actually hits the actual millionth spot - most times it just hits a normal, regular event and no-one even considers the part it was a million-to-one chance that, say, the plane COULD'VE dropped out of the sky onto you, because it didn't, but there was still a million-to-one chance of it occurring. So I'm willing to believe that for 9 out of every 10 things that could happen, there's always a very rare chance something abnormal could occur, from crossing the road and being hit by a rampaging lion to buying milk and discovering you have superpowers triggered by rotten dairy produce, with only one event out of 10 having statistical 100% certainty of the outcome.

Just to give you a bit of context as an "oldschool" Magic player: You are watching the deciding moments in a match between two of the all-time greatest Magic players, Gabriel Nassif and Patrick Chapin, playing at the Worlds Championship, the highest level of competition. Both of them are close friends and were teammates at the time. They are both playing "Dragonstorm", a very powerful combo deck that relies on the card Ignite Memories to win after assembling its combo. Ignite Memories deals damage based on the card that it randomly reveals out of the opponent's hands - which is what you see here. Nassif needed Chapin to reveal specific cards to win, which happened again and again, giving Nassif an unlikely victory.

This was Standard at the 2007 World Championships. Legal sets were Coldsnap, Time Spiral block, Tenth Edition, and Lorwyn. You might be confused about some cards having the old card frame. Time Spiral reprinted several old cards as "timeshifted" cards, in their original card frames.

[@hiimemily]

There were 243 possible sequences from Ignite Memories. Of these: • 211 hit Nassif's own Ignite Memories at least once, representing instant death. • A further 6 sequences hit Grapeshot at least 4 times, also resulting in death. • Only 26 out of 243 (about 10.7%) keep Nassif alive, hitting Grapeshot no more than 3 times and Rite of Flame for the rest. • This is the most dramatic sequence possible, dealing the most possible damage to Nassif with each copy while leaving him alive. One of the most busted mechanics in Magic history, and it resulted in one of the greatest games of all time.

[@Novenae_CCG]

Ignite Memories lets the opponent reveal a card at random- that player is dealt damage equal to the revealed card's converted mana cost. The 'Storm' effect casts a copy of that spell for each spell cast before it, this turn. Chapin (on the right) cast it on Nassif, with 4 extra copies. Nassif would have been dead, if it weren't for the luck of constantly revealing low-cost cards; he ended up at 1 life. In his next turn, Nassif retaliated with his own Ignite Memories, winning the match.
