[@CardmarketMagic]

@@marmics96 Thoralf assembled the decks so we wouldn't see what each other was playing. He seems to have put the Undying malice in the maindeck by mistake 😅 I seem to have been playing a 63-card deck

[@joedoe7572]

​​​​@@CardmarketMagicwhy on earth did you search for a Ball Lightning instead of a Lightning Skelemental when you had a swamp and no mountains in your hand??? You knew you weren't drawing a red source, you were drawing the elemental you just put at the top of your deck! Lightning Skelemental is even the better card! Also, why are you searching up an elemental to the top of your library before you have enough mana to cast that one or the one already in your hand? Wouldn't it be better to get a land to cast the first one and then search up another one after when you can cast it? And bring back the first one using the recursion in your hand in between? Doing that would also have let you already drawn the Terminate when you needed it during the third game

[@christianhanel2129]

​@joedoe7572 misplays are misplays but it's obviously a lot easier for us to Monday morning QB the game, as far as the ball lightning goes, I believe he said he went and got it for the fun of it as it was the decks namesake.

Janky "off-meta" decks like this perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the game and are a blast to watch

[@johnbuscher]

I love these kinds of brews, too. Just plain silly good fun with lots of ways to interact.

I loved 8-12Ball. Now Bowmaster just laughs at that Deck. 😢

I first stopped playing before modern was a thing, and then came back around MH2, and until this video I never really understood the appeal of modern. But this is great.

[@Snailing_Suika]

@@japplek fury and the ring have to be banned out of modern and they have to print a more useful/versatile sideboard card than orvar/hallowed moonlight/containment priest (like a permanent answer to shut it down not a single use answer as onboard containment priest would get killed and this dumb ass card design like creativity and crashing footfalls avoids grafdiggers cage) against creativity decks then modern could be a great format again 1. ban fury bring back fun creature decks and tribals 2. ban the ring its so stupid i dont even have to explain everyone knows it 3. print a better version of grafdiggers cage that hates on the opressive combo decks without having to ban those decks

I know there are some financial reasons for keeping the budget low but damn does it also make people submit fun decks! That Ball Lightning deck was on a roll!

[@CardmarketMagic]

We had once planned to do these yearly. But when we got a bigger budget, we realized what people managed to fit under the budget is always so much more fun than whatever tier deck with a worse manabase that we could get out of 500-600€ decks, so we opted with doing this far more often per year, but keep the 100€ budget that way we get to give more decks and the submissions are much more creative :)

[@FPRobber]

​@@CardmarketMagicThat was 100% the right call! You could do this every week and I'd watch every single one

[@LexxusTheSpark]

I cannot be the only one thinking that between all of Karl's puns and Jamin's face after top decking the incorrect card, these guys have one of the best interactions when it comes to playing and being enjoyable. + I cried so badly in the middle of the night from all of karl's puns, playing vs the asian avenger with biovisionary and clones.

Oof. That turn two Erayo is back-breaking! Very neat catch of the deck creator to recognize how often a low-curve artifact deck is able to just vomit out their hand. Definitely a bit of an all-in play but still really cool. That being said, both decks are super neat and I love the creativity on display with 'em!

[@AgonalRhythm]

@@kizzaht yeah, it was impactful. But I prefer games that have a closer back and forth and it was pretty clear Carl had few outs after the flip(s).

[@andrewsparkes6275]

I used to play it in a weird Modern version of the more famous Vintage Paradoxical Outcome deck; no moxes, but a ton of Ornithopters, Memnites and Tormod's Crypts. Given this was during the infamous Hogaak era, between the Crypts and Erayo, it won a lot more games than it should have!

[@georgepappas6746]

The fact that Karl cycled into a removal spell to deal with Erayo makes Game 3 even more brutal

[@bobwilson679]

The fact that he didn’t cast the removal the next turn to kill it was stupid

Obviously Thoralf is an exceptional MtG player and we get to see that on this channel often enough. But, I often get the sense Jamin could be that level too if he wanted to commit to it. Seeing that line of play to flip Erayo in game 2 was beautiful.

I haven't played Magic for 25+ years and enjoyed this video. Thanks for narrating each of your steps and showing the cards when they are played, helped me follow along with what was happening.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoyed it :) hopefully you give magic a second try! It can be really fun and inexpensive if you simply goof around with your friends

[@shadowfate05]

Grabbing a Ball Lightning instead of Skelemental with {R/B}{R/B}{B} available and the Terminate at sorcery speed were certainly choices that were made in game 1

[@scottdwyer7058]

He literally lost the game by tutoring uncastable cards on the top of his deck and preventing himself from being able to draw lands.

[@Kristjan0209]

Even if he could have cast ball lightning, why would you ever take it over the skelemental

[@thecollectiblecollectabill2298]

I quit watching when he did that. This isn't the first time I've seen these guys basically give the game away because -- fun? It's not a hard choice either. A playable or non-playable card? I'll choose non-playable

Jesus, those turn 2 Erayo‘s were FILTHY. Loved every minute of desperation that followed them 😂 And the dispatch was the cherry on top. RIP Lightning Skelemental

Turn 2 Erayo ended the game righ there.

Played an oops all ball lightnings years ago with Greater Good and Aether Vial in it. It was super powerful and also incredibly janky. Ball Lightning, Groundbreaker, Spark Trooper, and Spark Elemental all made appearances. Took top 8 and top 4 at different FNMs. It was a good time.

2 Insolent Neonate could be an interesting addition to the ball lightning deck. Being able to get them into the graveyard to unearth seems pretty strong

[@ylktr]

This reminds me of when I first started playing magic in the early '00s. A friend who'd been playing for years showed me his aggro deck with ball lightning and it blew my mind. It was so much cooler than the Lightning Elementals I had from my dinky 7th edition starter deck. Also, spot on that it's impossible to say Lightning Skelemental without a smile.

I think stuff like that game 2 shows how important a strong mana base is. The kind of mana base in a meta modern deck very likely wouldn’t have had the lack of an extra black holding it back from the interaction it needed to pitch an inquisition into a terminate

I know it was mot the optimal play and I knew when doing it, but I wanted specifically to introduce the idea of the deck early. In these casual videos it's important to stress entertainment over the optimal play sometimes.

[@Baxter_the_Octopus]

[@AlexDuWaldt]

Wow, this was a very entertaining matchup to watch. The Lightning Skelemental deck would have had a more serious shot if it included a pair of feed the swarms in the sideboard. It's interesting because both the decks are doing a sort of catch all strategy where their gameplan's aren't necessarily based on countering any meta, but instead delving deeply into a niche archetype. That first game could also have been won by Jamin's Tempered Steel deck, there was a way. Had Jamin just played Canonist with 2 of his four mana and then countered one of Carl's spells with the remand he could have blocked 3 of the 6 damage and survived with literally 1 hp. It seems to me that the Tempered Steel deck has a more fleshed out removal package than the skelemental deck, but it definitely has huge promise.

It needs more cards though to work compared to gitaxias, erayo + chimeric + repeal is already 3 cards. But I can totally see a deck with a lot of ornithopter, memnite, gitaxian probe, etc and ways to tutor erayo. Could be really powerful and reliable, locking someone out of the game on T2 or even T1 (with fast mana like moxes or sac double lands)

[@gibbeldon]

15:10 I think Undying Malice is to keep and buff your Thunderkin Awakener. Buffing it seems kind of unnecessary though, unless you intend to revive a second one to trigger as well.

[@lomenado]

Yeah, it's not really necessary to waste an extra card on the Awakener, who doesn't need the toughness pump to do its thing and who really only needs to do its trick the turn it comes down (if it stays alive for a second turn, the game was probably a curbstomp in your favor to begin with). IMO it's more likely that the deck creator misunderstood the wording on Ball Lightning's ability, thinking that "at the beginning of the end step" only meant its controller's end step instead of every end step, which is how the card actually works (and how it's always worked since debuting in The Dark). There were a few since-deleted comments here where others made the same mistake, so to me it's a more plausible explanation than the card being maindecked to be a rather suboptimal support piece for another support piece (the Thunderkin Awakener).

[@chilopodamancer]

The funny thing about game three is that if Karl didn't mulligan (which was a reasonable call to do so) he would have just been able to Lightening Bolt the Erayo when it hit the field and he might not have lost. Which is truly a tragedy, because Oops all Balls is, of course, a baller deck.

Awww, the turn 2 flipped Erayos made the games less fun than I had hoped. Turn 1 probably would have ended sooner if Karl had searched for the Lightning skelemental instead of the Ball lightning because he actually had the mana for it (and not for the Ball). But it looked as if it was the bottom card of the library and it was the deck archetype card, so he probably didn't think it over too much and went for that card straight away.

It's always amusing to see some interactions that are normally not seen with the game.

"4 spells, I dont think I can ever flip this." Flips it in the 2 following games.

Sadly, had to cheat to get it. Can't target a 0/0 because state based effects happen before priority or anything that can be placed on the stack.
