I always enjoy watching Luiz drafting. He’ll pick, what seems, random cards, that have no synergy (at first sight) and then he always make it work. It’s a pleasure to watch.
Documentary-style content about MTG inspires so much nostalgia. I would really like for events that feel like this to return, for constructed, of course. COVID and Commander have really made a huge negative impact on my local scene.
This is absolutely great. I enjoyed every minute of it. Also, it’s kind of shocking how much camera and broadcast technology has improved in 14 years. To my mind that footage looks like it’s 30 years old.
I've never cared for competative Magic, but this video moved something in me. It was different, different times. Magic will not go back to these highly competative haydays, for better or for worse. It is what it is, and we should appreciate what Magic was as well as what it is now. Idk I'm just happy to see cards like Broodmate Dragon and Putrid Leech on the screen again :) great video and I can't wait for episode 2!
I started playing Magic seriously at the launch of Zendikar! So this is a huge shot of nostalgia for me! Would definitely like to see more content like it in the future!!
Luis has been the face of magic for so many years. I remember watching him break mtgo over a decade ago and haven't stopped watching him since. I wonder if he knows how big a part of my life and many others hes been. On the off chance he browses these comments, thank you Luis.
I've played my fair share of competitive Magic. There a ton of pros I've faced off again, mostly great, a few bad apples, but LSV despite being one of the greatest of all times is always incredibly friendly. Always a good sport. I really don't think Magic would be quite where it is today without LSV in the scene.
Great video. Seems like an oversight to not mention the pro tour now stops you from playing once you hit 12 wins so as it stands the feat isn’t repeatable.
LSV is great, when i first started playing magic i seen a clip of him faking his opponent when he signalled he was going to creature a vampire token to bait an all out attack only to play settle the wreckage.
With the way PTs are done now, I don't think this record can actually be broken. With PTs now, once you reach enough wins to lock top 8, they remove you from pairings in swiss...so 16-0 can't ever happen unless they change the way they do the PT pairings.
I think it is great that this ends with Reid Duke saying that LSV is the face of professional magic. When I believe Reid is the face of the next era of magic. Great way to end the video.
I hope you know, when i was 15 or 16, me and my friends worshipped guys like you, kai, kibler ... we saw you guys in Inquest and Scrye and Sideboard and copied your decks to play at our small town local tournaments (the birth of net decking). Now we spend countless hours watching you draft vintage and whatever winston draft is lol
man, that run ending was heartbreaking. three straight games of mulligans and mana screw. his opponent is so bad too, incredible luck all the way through the top 8. hasn't had a remotely good finish since that spike and swapped to commentary instead.
The best LSV story is him cheating on his crazy, far-left feminist wife (while she was pregnant with his child) with Gaby Spartz, all while pretending he is far-left, woke and a decent person himself.
nothing makes me happier than the fact that it says episode 1 in the title:)
Thank you for this wonderfully put together trip down memory lane. 2010 LSV was when I was following competitive Magic the most.
Damn dude just realized I’ve been subscribed to you on RUclips since you used to upload halo 3. Thanks for all the years of entertainment.
Use to love your halo content back in the day cool to see your also into MTG!
I love this style of video as it helps maintain the history of the pro tour in this rebranding
I didn't know LSV was only person to go undefeated at pro tour, what a achievement to tell people new to Magic like me, that's incredible.
Welcome to the game!
more of this please
I play flesh and blood , not a magic player whatsoever and still found this really fascinating. Great job 👏

Another person who clicked on this hoping it was like Pretty Deece and enjoyed it. Thanks!

Things like this and Pretty Deece are the best MTG documentaries we need. 🎉
Love this -- echoing what others are saying and asking for more please!
This is awesome. Love the interviews with players/commentators reflecting on this!
This is WILDLY entertaining! I love this SO MUCH! Thank you!
I started playing Magic seriously at the launch of Zendikar! So this is a huge shot of nostalgia for me! Would definitely like to see more content like it in the future!!
Liking the Flashback guys! Super nice presentation.
Nice to see a video like this! A bit of history of MtG, the amazing story of LSV and more. Thanks
A true legend - to many more years of LSV playing MTG.
Great video! And that Putrid Leech play he talked about with the mountain was brilliant!
they basically introduce Simon Gortzen as "the guy who ruined the fun"
Also the deck was called Naya Lightsaber
LSV is just a legend. Great Video
Super solid and would watch more of these episodes.
This was a fantastic video. Thank you! loved it.
wow that was great. Look forward to more of this.
Great narrative for those of us who didn't know the story from before. Good stuff!
This is the kind of content i want to see

Cant wait for one of these on Reid Duke
More of these please.
yup more of this please
Awesome video! I'd watch way more of these
Can't wait for more!
This is very well done.
This was so incredible and really reminds me why I loved peek magic
More of all of this!
Nassif is so good that at 8:26 he is both second and third. Thats the yellow hat difference
More of this please!
Great video thank you love competitive magic
Those were the glory days of competetive MTG, coverage and everything around it was great
Great job telling this story!
What a well made video awesome stuff
great production quality
This was so good! Love to see it!!
Much love for making a video like this❤❤❤

Reminds me of pretty deece, keep it coming guys
More like this please
ABSOLUTE LEGEND LSV!
I just say something that explains it all. I stopped playing magic from 2 years, but still watch LSV drafts daily
This is great. Would love to hear more fun travel stories between pros and like playing the credit card game at dinner, etc. more nonsense stories!
Really liked this video too. I love magic history
About time they highlight players.
Great video!
Great video. Seems like an oversight to not mention the pro tour now stops you from playing once you hit 12 wins so as it stands the feat isn’t repeatable.
absolutely love this
GOATed content.
LSV is hands down my favorite magic player
@8:30 why are there duplicate names in the chart? That doesn't make sense.
As a brazilian, PVDDR will always be my GOAT, but LSV is up there for sure!
Love this!
With the new way the pt works. Where 12-0 instantly puts u into the t8. The 16-0 will never be broken anymore.
awesome video
Idea for Episode 1a: When was "Peak Luis"? His PT Win? The 16-0? The three consecutive top 8s AFTER getting in the HoF?
Awesome video! Ikawa just recently got quite close to this!
Great video!

engage for future seasons of this!
Well it's not Corpora, but I'll take it. Great content!
Pro Magic used to be so good.
I think it is great that this ends with Reid Duke saying that LSV is the face of professional magic. When I believe Reid is the face of the next era of magic. Great way to end the video.
Excellent.
Awesome
8:19 Gabriel going 15-1 and not making top 8 is the real shocker of this Pro Tour
I was thinking eggs deck was only one undefeated deck in pro tour.
Episode 1 👀
Is Simon better known for commentary lately??? He’s been absolutely running it up on the PT lately
I hope you know, when i was 15 or 16, me and my friends worshipped guys like you, kai, kibler ... we saw you guys in Inquest and Scrye and Sideboard and copied your decks to play at our small town local tournaments (the birth of net decking).

Wish Cifka got a tiny nod somewhere in the script heheh
Yeah 15-1 and winning the pro tour with a really good meta read
awesome
Oh look, another well-received video series that inevitably gets abandoned by TCGPlayer. Still waiting on more Pretty Deece...
This makes me miss when magic was still cool and interesting. Feels different now. Like eating pancakes but it’s all syrup.
Jim Davis went undeafeated in swiss aswell tho
very cool vid but PLEASE title it something better! the SEO is gonna kill you!
hell yea!!!!
Fuller's 14-0 in tokyo was 2003 or 2004 i believe not 2001. i was there.
Had no clue that David Williams was a pro mtg player
LSV
So many spelling mistakes in the graphics, its crazy. Who is doing quality control?
Great video. Sadly, much like pretty deece, this probably won't get many views since its not commander content.
man, that run ending was heartbreaking. three straight games of mulligans and mana screw. his opponent is so bad too, incredible luck all the way through the top 8. hasn't had a remotely good finish since that spike and swapped to commentary instead.
Luck, Skill, Victory
The best LSV story is him cheating on his crazy, far-left feminist wife (while she was pregnant with his child) with Gaby Spartz, all while pretending he is far-left, woke and a decent person himself.
Please have the Duke on deck…
I miss the old coverage of Pro Tours so much. The new stuff is just soulless and has no depth.
awesome video! although i think this needs a better name it was an accident i even looked at this
👏
