[@The_Abhy]

Tnx you❤, You know I really asked for this

[@The_Abhy]

Isn't there a description of some matches?

[@CardmarketMagic]

​@The_Abhy unfortunately, since many of the players did not take match notes in the end, we did not include them in general for the article

[@Andre-fm1zy]

I feel like you should correct 00:08 legacy CAN be fast, but a control mirror for example can be painfully long to play. The image of legacy is that its super fast, expensive and skill intense, thats true except for the speed. Imo that cliche is a bit harmful. In reality most matchups go for longer than just one or two turns :)

[@TheTrueChaks]

I thought UB scaminator made it through D: maybe a special match at the end where the winner has to beat that deck to earn the crown

[@andyony2]

Watching Carl gambling for Crop Rotation to search for Karakas.... instead of gambling for Karakas directly without the need of sacrificing a land is just so great! Because I needed a second thought to realize, how clever that was🥰

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm really happy you noticed that play :D I was pretty proud of it myself!

[@philipyoutube8720]

I did not get this play... What am I missing? Edit: ah, found it in the comments below. It's to play around force of will

[@zetekpl]

​​​@@philipyoutube8720 If you gamble for karakas right away (there is 1 in deck) you have 1/5 chance of discarding it and insta losing. If you tutor crop rotation you have 1/5 chance of discarding the tutored target, but you still have second gamble in hand. So even when that 1 in 5 situation happens you tutor for karakas and have 3 in 4 chance of not discarding it. So you have higher odds of not losing when choosing the line of tutor for crop rotation (1/5 chance to lose vs 1/20).

[@Hoologramek]

​@@philipyoutube8720Karl has only one Karakas in his deck. If he was greedy and gambled for it and lost, he would've been screwed. Yes, he could gamble for Life from the Loam but Crop Rotation was less mana to tutor Karakas if it wasn't discarded. Essentially he made the play which minimized the risk of gambling and won

[@total_dk6517]

​@@philipyoutube8720 It's to play around Force of Will. It's to avoid randomly discarding his 1-of Karakas. (With that edit I can't tell if trolling or not.)

[@Ornithopter470]

It is legitimately some of the best content on 60 card specifically.

[@janmelantu7490]

That double Gamble line was absolutely insane

[@thomaslunn6601]

Funnily enough, Carl could've gambled for the Tabernackle right away, and used the second gamble for Life from the Loam if luck was not in his favor. Unsure which line is more optimal though.

[@BobertJoe]

@@thomaslunn6601 I know you mean Karakas so Ill ignore that. If the loam went to yard he would be dead on board because he didnt have a way to recur it.

[@iamkrazy1]

@@BobertJoe yeah but in his original line it's the same, discarding the card you gamble for always loses. The advantage of loam is you can keep recurring it later but idk if that's better

[@logicmass621]

I don't get why everyone thinks this is a genius play.

[@Xam1da5]

It's a smart play because his deck only has one copy of Karakas, if he searched for it immediately and discards it, his other gamble is a dead card

[@hazeljoy1]

"Ok, all eggs in 2 baskets" is the most German conversation ever about that phrase

[@Kokuswolf]

Is it? I always wondered why I love these kind of conversations. That would be an explanation.

[@emilyliedtke7059]

It's also funny because with the double gamble line from the second game, that is quite literally what carl did

[@MenloMarseilles]

Toralf loves his eggs-to-baskets ratio interviews XD

[@Espionia]

God I love this series. This is the embodiment of the ‘who would win at their prime’ discussion and I can’t get enough of it.

[@Eyari3]

Seeing Carl enduring one Emrakuls hit from Thoralf like a champ and turn the tables to win must be one of the must epic things I've ever seen

[@denissinner4625]

when Emrakul was played some in standard, those kind of games where you survive an emrakul swing were some of the most memorable. I remember one where I let him swing once and then locked it down tapped with my Ajani Vengeant (playing superfriends vs Polymorph)

[@ThymeTwister]

That second game reminded me of Scam vs Cloudpost game 2 in how dramatic it was. And also being preceded by a Toffel ideal opening hand stomp, history repeats itself in the most wonderfully whimsical ways sometimes

[@russman3787]

Scam vs 12 Post is still the most insane match on this channel so far. A close second is the 12 Post vs Eldrazi Winter match.

[@jeezuhskriste5759]

@@russman3787Infinite Emrakuls is my favorite moment on the channel

[@mewr11]

Fun fact: You actually are allowed to tap the Karakas for mana in response to the Wipe Away. Players are allowed to activate mana abilities with split second cards on the stack so that triggered abilities that ask for mana payments can still function.

[@8Smoker8]

ah yes, was waiting for someone to point it out!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Yes you are absolutely correct! We missed that on the spot 😅

[@liorramati265]

It's actually more subtle than that. There's no special carve-out for mana abilities in split second. What's actually going on is that split second prevents you from taking any game actions that put things on the stack, but there's an entire category of game actions that _dont_ put things on the stack - special actions, of which mana abilities are sub-category. Unmorphing permanents is another sub-category of special actions, which is why you can willbender a spell with split second

[@nomatyx5789]

@@liorramati265 There absolutely is a carve-out for mana abilities in split second. "702.61a Split second is a static ability that functions only while the spell with split second is on the stack. “Split second” means “As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast other spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.”" also, mana abilities aren't special actions. That's why Cursed Totem and Null Rod stop creatures and artifacts respectively from tapping for mana. "605.1. Some activated abilities and some triggered abilities are mana abilities, which are subject to special rules. Only abilities that meet either of the following two sets of criteria are mana abilities, regardless of what other effects they may generate or what timing restrictions (such as “Activate only as an instant”) they may have." "116.2. There are eleven special actions:" Feel free to check the comprehensive rules yourself-- activating mana abilities are not one of those 11 special actions.

[@mmlgamer]

@@liorramati265 ”no special carve out for mana abilities” This is incorrect. Split Second’s definition specifically says “that aren’t mana abilities.” If it didn’t explicitly make that exception, mana abilities that are activated abilities would be stopped.

[@TaisxD]

This was such a beautiful match. The best thing about it was that the outcome was only possible because Carl played like a pro. Seriously the port on the fetch, the gamble for crop rot and the sick wasteland/tabernacle line where many others would've just gone for the karakas. You can tell this isn't your first rodeo with lands!

[@CardmarketMagic]

I tried my best in this game! I'm truly thrilled that you noticed :D

[@thomasstone3480]

the port on the fetch is one of those lines that i would absolutely realize i should have done immediately after failing to do it

[@GG-dt5hh]

That game 3 end of turn Crop Rotation had me pausing to figure out what the hell was the plan for a moment there. Missing the Karakas felt insane until I went through his options in my head and figured out the double wasteland line. That was so clean.

[@OctupleThreat]

I was expected Thoralf to pass and intuition for triple Omni at EOT so he could get the cast trigger from the Emrakul. IDK if he had a reason for not doing it that way specifically or if might just be lack of reps with the deck. Omni-tell is a weird one to figure out lines for. Honestly, this one felt borderline unfair because it really seems like Carl has put in serious time with Lands because the plays he made were advanced and clean AF.

[@robertphillips7943]

Came here to talk about this; as soon as he played Crop Rotation, I started yelling “OOOOOOHHHHHHH SHIT” bc i was waiting for that Wrenn and Six to come down

No better feeling in magic than winning a game where you got attacked by Emrakul! Crazy games, love the series!!

[@ivosrotir8962]

I absolutely agree. Happened to me only few times while playing against my Omnitell friend for years. I rememeber the games like yesterday. One of them involving taking down Emrakul with Baleful Strix, and surgical the titan with another copy in opps hand in response to his shuffle trigger (Czech Pile at the time had too much worthless removal to board out so I usually also did put few Surgicals in hoping to break the deck after discarding the S&T and it sometimes worked). Recovered from zero and later raced his Clique with quickly deployed Deathrite Shamans. Sweet feeling.

[@imapotato6792]

I think Thoralf missed lethal with their Dig Through Time decision at 14:09. If the picked 2 omnis, they can show and tell in one and play the other. Grip can only kill one of them and Force of Vigor can be countered for free with the Force of Will in hand. Then he can just keep casting Emerakuls and swinging for 15 until Carl dies. Absolutely love that you guys are doing a best of for Legacy! I love watching y'all play 1v1 with your stellar commentary and now that you're playing my favorite format its even better!

At 2:55, just want to point out that cards that look for things outside the game do not allow you to get things from exile, as exile is technically a zone within the game.

[@SilverBordered]

Thoralf has been playing Magic so long, I'll give him a pass on this one. It was a rules change. Exile didn't always exist in the way it does today. I mean, old cards literally read "Remove from the game" which have been erratad to exile.

[@chrisjett6232]

Yes! Love to see some Lands getting played. One of my favorite Legacy decks of all time. Also, very slick plays with the double Gamble and the Karakas on Vendillion!

[@bwen18]

There seems to be a few misconceptions about Karl's Gamble, Gamble line. His line does not play around FoW. Having 2 Gambles and 2 red sources is what plays around FoW. If Thoralf has 1 FoW, he will almost always be countering the 1st Gamble since Karl can potentially just Gamble for Karakas, which if not discarded, cannot be countered with FoW. Next level Thoralf with 1 FoW (if he knows exactly what Karl has planned), would let the Gamble resolve and then 2 for 1'ing Karl by countering the Crop Rotation; but even with this next level play, Karl still has the second Gamble which would give him a Karakas 75% of the time. Karl Gambles for Crop Rotation as a round about way of getting Karakas without risking the 1of Karakas being discarded. In a lot of decks, it usually isn't ideal for key cards to end up in the graveyard; but the Lands deck is different because the Card Advantage engine of the deck is Life from the Loam. So if Karl Gambles for Karakas and it is discarded, his next Gamble will be for Life from the Loam (which in the Lands deck is akin to Ancestral with dredge3). This line of play conserves material (by not having to sac a land to cast Crop Rotation) vs. the weighted average of Karl's actual line of play (since with Karl's line, some % of the time will end with Karl sac'ing a land to Crop Rotation into Karakas. Additionally (and more importantly), there will be a Life from the Loam either in hand or in the graveyard; which as mentioned before is the engine of the Lands deck. With a looming Emrakul attack incoming without Karakas, Karl is essentially on a 1 turn clock to get Karakas; but if Karl was on instead a 2 turn clock, the line of Gambling for Karakas with the plan of Gambling for Loam if Karakas is discarded with the 1st Gamble, Karl is guaranteed a Karakas in 2 turns. Karl actually had the time/mana/opportunity to setup a guaranteed Karakas on this pivotal turn. In Karl's previous turn, he could have deduced that Karakas was central to stopping Thoralf's gameplan and Gambled for a Life from the Loam. By doing so, Karl guarantees Loam in hand on the pivotal turn (either by successfully gambling OR dredging during his draw step) thus allowing Karl's 1st Gamble to guarantee a Karakas (either by successfully gambling OR targeting Karakas along with up to 2 other lands with Loam). The pre-emptive Gamble the turn before has the potential downside of discarding away Krosan Grip; I do not think this is that big of a deal because Grip does not stop SnT into Omni into Emrakul. Grip does stop SnT into Omni into a draw spell digging for Emrakul though. Karl's line is not strictly worse/better than my proposed line of play. One advantage of Karl's line is that it plays around Daze. In the most mana intensive outcome of Karl's line of play, he casts Gamble > Gamble > play Karakas and will still have 2 mana to pay for 2 Dazes. After some research on the OmniTell decks of the DTT/Gitaxian Probe era, it seems that most lists do not run Daze though.

[@IIXzmozXII]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole play. His first Gamble can either be for a Karakas or a Crop Rotation. If he wins the Gamble, then he has a Karakas either directly or by a fetch. But more importantly, if he loses the Gamble, then whatever he tutored for is now in the graveyard. If this first Gambled card was a Karakas, he can Gamble again for a Life from the Loam, play it, get back the Karakas, and play that. and establish his Life from the Loam engine. If the first Gambled card was a Crop Rotation though, he Gambles again for a Karakas and gets it, but misses his engine. After reading tons of comments, I still don't understand why he doesn't just Gamble for Karakas anyways. If he wins the first Gamble, great. If he doesn't, then it's better to have it in the GY for the 2nd Gamble for Life from the Loam. Why was his line to Gamble for Crop Rotation first if it seems strictly worse? I'm missing something somewhere....

Excellent stuff as always! In game 3, was that a misplay by Thoralf to play Show and Tell so quickly? He put an Emrakul into play on a turn when he already knew Carl had Crop Rotation in hand (from G Probe) and he had open green mana to cast it for a Karakas if he wanted. Thoralf had no counterspells for the Crop Rotation. Carl went a different, but still effective route. But Thoralf had all that information, unless I was missing something.

Carl, you're no micro celebrity to me (amazing hat by the way!!) Best Deck Ever is such a great series and this opening match was PHENOMENAL. I cannot wait for more if this was just game 1!

There are 6 more videos! We'll be releasing one per week on every Thursday so that I have time to edit them. I'm really happy you enjoyed this one I was really proud of my plays :)

YOOOO LETS GOOO! I was cheering for lands to take this but I was too confident since this is a rough matchup for the deck. Carl piloted real well, and the double gamble line was a great play! I'm real excited to see how far lands can go!
