Love how you break it down simple enough for people who don't know all the cards. Always click on your videos because I know I'll understand it. Great for beginners.
You're welcome!
Ditto
Same here! Also love chinchillas x3
I've been playing this game since the 90s, and I still don't know what most of the cards do XD. I really gotten into pioneer lately and it's a blast
So, stupid people?
Topdeck that won my game:
Untap
Upkeep
Draw...
A swamp
My opponent wins
11:00 this was the mistake: not pumping twice. The second scrapheap is useless. Putting the opponent to 3, and thus having 2 lethal fliers would've meant there would be no card that could be top-decked to stop the win.
The last turn Pinto had was also misplayed. Play the scrapheap to crew the vehicle and swing for lethal is the right play, there's no card in opponent's deck that could have saved him.
Or just play both scrapheaps. Pinto wanted to lose this.
Or just sac 3 arrtifsct creatures to pia so the others can’t block and win
also he could kept the early energy to pump it up with lifelink
Yeah yeah but we still here backsitting while he was under pressure and lost to top decks
Yugi here with heart of the cards moments
I tot its darby brothers from jojo adventures
I was bored so did some math, I assume that glory bringer is 4 copies. He was on turn 9 so he had drawn from the deck 9 cards in addition to his starting hand of 7. By the start of turn 9 he would have cleared 15 cards leaving about 45 cards in deck. He had, at this point, had a 1/11.25 or a little under 9 percent chance to draw a glory bringer.
Now due to this being red he also most likely had burn spells, if he drew a bolt he could have stalled for more turns. Even if its just a playset of the one bolt we saw in game that increases the chances to like 1/7 which bumps it up to 15 percent at minimum. That would not have guaranteed a win but at least gives a chance.
Tldr: he had about a 1 in 11 chance to get the card he needed to win at that moment. With that said if we add other answers he may have its goes up quickly
@@rayzeckz4573 fun fact original manga Yugi would have immediately been able to send Darby to the shadow relm (or much worse) due to his cheating and how his magical powers used to work
I remember this game and it was so insane to watch turn by turn. I didnt see the win coming at all.
What really bothered me about Pinto was that look of “disbelief” at the end. The reason he did that is because he wanted a judge call on the triggered ability of Darbys Kari Zev. His position is that Darby didnt audibly announce the trigger in time and therefore wouldnt get the attacking Ragavan token which would keep him alive. You can see that Darby did drop the token after the Glorybringer exert but Pinto said he didnt audibly “announce” it. Overall it was just a slimy thing to do in my opinion, to try to win based on a vague technicality. Darby earned that one, shake his hand, accept defeat dude.
First game I ever won, super new to magic started playing during the Origins/Battle for Zendikar sets. I was playing mono red because it was the easiest thing to understand at the time. My opponent was playing big, bad Eldrazis. I had burned most of them several turns in, and the opponent played Ulamog. I had no creatures left on the field and the Ulamog had already attacked once. I had maybe 5 life left, I didn't have enough cards in my library to withstand another attack, and before they ended their turn, they played Endless One with 10 +1 counters. All I had left on my side of the field was Pyromancer's Goggles. I topdecked an Act of Treason, copied it with the goggles, stole the Ulamog and Endless One, and swung for the exact 20 life they had to win the game. I was super stoked.
Looking forward to seeing more of these beginner friendly recaps of past legendary plays, great content I can share with my less experienced friends
.. and if I may suggest, the PT semi-final between Kibler and Jon Finkel ending in triple galvanic blast might fit your criteria
Sounds great!
Correct me if im wrong - when Darby was on 4 hp, with 1 card, Pinto blows up the vehicle, thopter and one scrapheap to prevent all the opponents creatures from blocking, then attack with Pia, Scrapheap and chainwheeler. Abrade only kills one and Darby gets 5 to the face. That was missed lethal right there
Magic's most underrated Pro Tour moment.
One time I was loosing really bad. Then I top decked a f***ing land! Shoutout to Francis
lmao
Enjoyed the video, but I'd argue that Pinto not hitting the fifth land (admittedly something that happens to Rx aggro more than many other decks due to the low curve) was just as impactful to him losing the game - that Siege-Gang Commander would have straight up ended things. But that's ultimately Magic - Pinto had a great start; Darby had a great end, and we got to watch a great game as a result.
Ya boy top decking an abrade and then the glory bringer for the win is the exact reason I don't enjoy standard. Pinto was dominating the game but two cards de-railed his pro tour win. Dude looked in shock when he saw the dragon slam on the table.
I don’t play magic and have struggled to understand the rules since I was in grade school. I enjoy your breakdowns they’re entertaining and informative especially for someone just trying to learn the flow of the game
I must say this is one of his best videos in awhile. He should do more long ones like this 😊
Crew is sort of like Banding. People just don't notice... :)
This was my year. I won every local standard tournament with this Darby deck. I will some times go back and watch this pro tour, just for pure nostalgia for when MTG was good and fun for me.
Thank you for saying "for me." People seem to think that if it's not fun for them it's not fun for anyone sometimes.
@@AngelusNielson eh the game is not that fun anymore compared to before, commander and mh ruined the game
@@impow5649 No, UR wrong. *shrugs*
@@impow5649 care to elaborate? I started playing Commander a few years ago, what about it turned you off?
It was treasure tokens, right?
@@abigcupofwater well wizards started designing standard cards for commander specifically, the other big issue is that it created a big separation with casual and competitive magic, and while I think there is nothing wrong with casual play, you get a lot more commander than Standard or Modern showing up to events, on top of the design hurting both of the formats, and I could also get into the Modern Horizons rant but that's a different story
Nikachu makes me feel cheated. I paid full price for this seat but I only needed the edge of it. This game was a nail biter and the Who Wants to be a Millionaire music was perfect
03:44 That always paid off, sir. Always.
I was playing my first game ever at my LGS. It was a seven player game,and I was playing my Krenko,mob boss deck. After a few turns, I had 16 goblins ,Krenko on the field ,and the table had 32 or less life. It came to my turn, and I top decked Purphoros, god of the forge.I played Purphoros, and no one had any responses,so I tapped Krenko to make 16 goblins,dealing 32 damage to my opponents, winning the game.
That must have felt amaaaazing
Where you allowed to come again? :P
@@RuudAwakening it did feel wonderful, until the second game,when the table ganged up on me and wiped me out!🤣 And ,yes I was allowed back.😄
@@taurincochran3398 That tends to happen 😆
My Krenko deck retired, because the commander never gets allowed to stay for long. But now is a full-on Purphoros spam dem critters deck.
Whenever I hear people ask for a fast game "Got that covered for ya!"
Winning or not, it makes certainly for a fast intense game.
When you win by bringing your opp down to exactly 0 we call that a gentleman's win
I did a very similar thing in the last round of a 5k against Gerry Thompson and I drew the last vengevine in my deck to steal a win! Obviously much smaller stakes lol
The only top-deck I did that was good enough to speak about, was at a tournament against a modern green elves deck. I was playing GR Tron. I won the first game, he won the second one. At the third game, I knew that he had cards against my lands from the side, so I mullig to 6 and I kept an hand with 4 lands, between Tron lands and Groves. As expected, he break my lands twice, however both times I put them back, once from the hand, and the second time drawing the exact land he destroyed. Seeing that, he fuc*ed up, leave the table and concede to me the victory, even if he was able to go on with the game and maybe win the match.
he truly is a "GLORY BRINGER"
Glorybringer the strongest creature in the deck? Even with Ragavan being in there. Impossible!
At 6:08 its very funny to portuguese speakers when you say something about turninf up the hit and "Pinto comes out" because pinto is also use as weenie.
Anyway. fun video
When I ran a mono G module deck at GP Birmingham, I needed to top-deck a Ghalta to win. Ghalta said hi, and yay followed.
I have the classic story: I have a meathook, my battlefield filled with creatures, my oponent has the solemnity/nine lives combo in play, I draw a blood in the snow, I put my opponent at exactly 0 by destroying all my creatures. Yeah I know, not a good story, but it's the one I have, OK?
It's not bad, you taught me a new combo at least lol
I was once in a game of commander, it was just me and my opponent left, and he had 4 blightsteels (he was playing Brudiclad) and I topdecked devastation tide. Went on to win after that, felt pretty good 😊
"Finally having a big butt pays off"
[Sir Mix-A-Lot enters the chat]
"Now YOU LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHI-"
"finally having a big butt pays off" I literally laughed out loud with how serious this statement, dead pan looking straight into the camera jesus christ! xD
I barely even lurk around competitive magic, so I don't know much about what goes on in terms of metagame etc, but these match stories are always so cool!
That was amazing... thank you Nikachu for the video!
My opponent had been very quickly building a scrute swarm army with fetch lands and sorcery. I was staring down at least 4 dozen and only had 2 Shambling Ghast in play. I top deck Meethook massacre, used Ghast for 2 treasures, he played another Scrute next turn but no land, top decked a dusk mangler, opponent scoops. Felt like the MC in a childrens card game anime.
Top deck W's really make you believe in a little magic in the cards man. Even just playing against your buddy, you pull that card and you gotta stay calm but you're like, "IT IS TIIIIIIIIIIIIME....."
This moment is one of the best of this year in Mtg.
The last Pro Tour I played was Dublin 2013. on the PTQ finals we were tied 1-1, I was playing jund and my oponent monogreen, I got stuck on 4 lands with 3 Thragtusk on my hand and had to chump block with Olivia, he had 2 predator Oozes, I was at 1 life, he played his third Ooze and I topdeckes my only severe the bloodline, then land 5 to play 3 Thragtusks in a row.
*It aint callled glorybringer for nothing xD that top deck for two rounds were clutch*
The look on pinto's face at the end. thats draining
I'm just happy it was two red decks battling at the highest levels for a pro-tour win.
I remember top decking a board wipe against an agro player when I was playing blue white control
Lmao Pinto's face 14:14.. we've all been there. That wtf just happened moment 😆🤮
He lost because he used the Aethersphere Harvester's activated ability too early. If he did it when it was a 4/5 instead of a 3/5 he would have survived with 1 life at the end. So the Glorybringer would have stabilized but not won on the spot.
That’s a really nice line you discovered!
At 10:50 Gonzalo could have gained 4 life by paying the energy counter, which would have actually won him the game. Also pumping twice was a good idea (thus gaining 5 life).
Man's lost to a 1-2 slap from a Dragon and Monkey.
That was NUTS!!!🎉 I like your videos they are really really good thank you.
Stylin' mountains there on the left
My opening hand had 2/3 things I needed for a combo and I drew into the third turn 4 or 5.
I run Muldrotha and drew into a card that let me put Triplicate Titan in the graveyard, then was able to kill it and bring it back every turn. Fun stuff
Just recently topdecked a Grand Master of Flowers in a game where my opponent had a Kaldheim Vorinclex that was pumping each turn and I won the game by sheer attrition. Never say die folks, never say die!
Topdecked a Destroy Evil yesterday, used it to destroy my own Citizen's Arrest to make the opponent draw a card and lose their last point of life when their Phyrexian Rager re-entered the battlefield. So satisfying.
Glad to see Ragavan has been stinking up games for years
this is what is usually referred to as a "bad beat"
Pinto got refried 😂
I top decked a shock when my opponent was at 2 life
Excellent video! It was very intense
Lol he topdecked perfect answer after perfect answer. Meanwhile im here in mtga with 12 Lands on play and topdecking another 6 in a row or playing the full match with 2 Lands. Magic is a hilarious game lol.
Chainwhirler is a legend of a card. Get 4 in a deck and deal with soul sisters then let it sit there.
once in a game of modern and was once getting beat prety bad and was at one life with a strangleing grasp on me top decked a crush contraband and won the game
Winning with exact lethal damage, with a top-deck card, and you're at 1 where you'd lose next turn?
That is literally the best method of winning.
I love you video's man! I only mis your older intro's. Hello its Nickachu merfolkmaster!
you still hear that sometimes on my stream channel nikachumtglive
I play mono red burn in modern. Many years ago, I had just started getting into modern. I run Thunderous Wrath in my deck (still do).
I was playing against blue delver.
I had 3 life left, 0 Cards in hand, no creatures. He had 4 or 5 life left, and a flipped Delver (3/2 insectile aberration).
On my upkeep, I said "there's only one card that can save me, and it's...this?", I flipped the card and it was Thunderous Wrath.
He said, "I can't even be mad at that, gg".
I have top decked it since, like on my opponent's upkeep with manamorphose (TW+bolt on upkeep, but opponent still won with Seige Rhino - I dislike that card, lol), but that was my favourite time since it was my first.
Was that who wants to be a millionaire music playing quietly during that abrade drop? Lmfao
Seems to me a Goblin Chainwhirler top-deck would've prolonged the game, Darby being able to force chumps in a turn or two, but that would've given Pinto a chance at a land for Siege-gang Commander and game-ending face damage,
I top decked Mindswipe in a really close game. My opponent had lethal on board if they just attacked, but they decided to cast their Siege Rhino to assert dominance, letting me kill them with Mindswipe :) That was a good win.
I once topdecked a Deathbringer Regent in a Commander game. I didn’t won that round but after that, the game was mine.
Red decks seem to often find their way into videos like this. The playstyle of making decisions by the seat of your pants make for a lot drama for both the players and the watchers alike.
I’ve never been this early. Great video to start my morning. Thanks Nikachu!
You're Welcome!
11:00 why not attack with the Goblin Chainwringler ? forcing at least 1 blocker
I dont even play magic, dont understand half of is being showed but still its a lot of fun.. nice video!
I had a game in a local event against dredge. I was playing boggles, I won first game and sided in RIP, it came right in my opening hand, I slam it on my second turn, opponent conceded. It was most satisfying game ever, cause I hate dredge!
My favorite win by top deck is still Lightning Helix off the top.
This was cool and all, but what about the PT that was won off of a Lightning Helix? Now that was a top deck.
Gonçalo Pinto's face at 14:13. He's in disbelief.
I remember going 4-0 with a nasty top deck against my opponent he was PISSED . Sat there for 10 min thinking he had a strat. I was sitting at 1hp too lol.
At 12:45
Wouldn't Pinto had lethal anyhow, if he went for a full swing?
Oppo has 1 card in hand, assume the worst it is a 1-creature-removal.
That would make a combat of:
Scrap no. 1 crews Harvester, and sac it to make Chainwirler unable to block.
Now 2 blockers left, so attacks:
Scrap no. 2 with 3power -> blocked
Chainwirler with 3power -> blocked
Harvester with 3power -> most likely to be removed
Pia with 2power -> got through
Thopter with 1 power-> got through
Pinto had 3mana left, enough for a pump on the Thopter
Was there a card (instant) in the format that gets rid of 2 creatures?
Or gain life/prevent damage for Darby?
Just wondering cause I like the maths for my own board-position practice
It is said that after this match pinto changed his last name to refried.
14:08 Am i mistaken or did Pinto try to do a dirty move and say that Wyatt missed his Kari Zev trigger? I dont even know if that trigger can be missed or not. Or Could have been missed since it was in 2018, im not familiar with the rules. It looks like Pinto tried to do something there but im not sure what.
Not quite as important a Pro-Tour, or even closing a game out, but...while playing Animar Artifacts during an EDH game, I had an opening hand of: Mountain, Sol Ring, and low-cost artifact creatures. While it wasn't optimal (I'd ideally like to play Animar before the artifact creatures, to start ticking up Animar), it'd do to at least be able to throw out blockers until I waited for my blue and green sources to actually play Animar.
First draw? Silver Myr! So I throw out my red land, Sol Ring and the Silver Myr. Now I only have to hit a green source! And I hit it with my next draw - a forest! Play and tap the forest for green mana, tap the Silver Myr for blue mana, tap my Mountain for red mana...Turn 2 Animar outta nowhere, baby! And not only that...
Because then I played a free Ornithopter, putting a +1/+1 counter onto Animar allowing me to cast a 1-drop! So then I played a Signal Pest, putting another counter on Animar allowing me to play a 2-drop! So then I played a Myr Retriever as WELL! So despite resigning myself to using all my good cheap creatures to use as chump blockers instead of powering up an uncastable Animar, I lucked out and had 5 creatures (including my three-color commander) on board at the end of my Turn 2! (Probably not the exact creatures, but you get the idea...)
No, lifelink means that if it does damage the **PLAYER** gainst life. Slightly different.
My Portugee brother got robbed, but good game of Magic nonetheless :D
14:14 look at the face of a man who will not sleep for a week
Homie just needed that 5th land to bring out glory bringer could’ve won it long time ago lol.
can't find crap card draws.
Fish folk know what it’s like to swing for 11 exactly lethal damage (unblockable btw). Two 2/2 fish, and two lords (one is summoning sick) = 11 damage. For some reason my opponent seem to end up with 11 life more often than I’d expect.
Love the content, keep going Nikachu!
Thank you! Will do!
Not attacking with all creatures is big miss, especially when you play second scrap instead of giving +1 to artifact creature
I was at 4 life and in a 4 person modern ffa and had siege gang lieutenant out a conspicuous snoop and drew and top decked kiki jiki, as in he was the card on top so conspicuous snoop combo's out w him and I won
oh my god lets gooooo wow wtf this is freaking crazy the one card
I topdecked star of extinction with a wrathful raptors on my battlefield for game last week😂
Glorybringer brings glory on 1 life.
He won because he believed in the heart of the cards.
Used to love mtg I think maybe it’s gotten a little to crazy
Yea never had a top deck like that. I always get the oh crap I drew a 1/1 with haste. Then concede.
Bloody hell. What a nice match!
If Gonçalo cast Scraphead, use to tripulate and all attack his win the match
Just found you I’ll sub like the way you explain stuff
Thanks!
Thumbnail is nightmare fuel
I was playing commander with a full table, we were down to the wire, one dude scooped as he realized our local zombies player had a boardstate that would make emrakul say "PLEASE NO MORE IM FULL". The goad-er at the table watched in horror as his antics were coming to a well-deserved-- but abrupt-- end, taking our last turn alive to thank his commander for being sufficiently annoying enough to make mcdonalds' fries jealous of our salt. It was the zombie player's turn, and as he stacked his maximum handsize with every zombie card in magic he apologized for the card that was about to fall could not--NO! Would not! Rooftop storm. A board that was merely barren two turns ago turned into what most would call an "Ok win" in commander... filled to the brim with indestructible, gigantic zombies ready to devour our hopes like brains prepped by the Ramsey of Chef himself.
But I had an answer! A method to take his remaining 18 life (of which he mostly took himself) down to zero with my only creature: an 25/25 reanimated behemoth of a horror that sapped its strength from our combined graveyards. This tactic involved my own graveyard, of which I had to take a certain creature that created a single thopter when ETB-ing, that I could give haste and tap to make him un-blockable. "PERFECT" I thought... "The math couldn't have ended better for me! I'll simply wait till his turn ends since he has no haste on the heavy-hitters and take my lumps to dish them back oh-so-deadly-y!".
Then he cast his final card... "Exile target graveyard".
"Ah.." I thought, wondering of what I must have done in a past life for fate to turn so sour on me now of all moments. Alas, my creature was an 18/18, but with no trample, and no un-blockable against the impenetrable wall of the undead. All at the table sighed, even the zombies player, who mourned my luck as his assassinated it with 1/1 deathtouch. I had one more turn, but we all 'knew' what the ending would be. I drew my last, pathetic card and looked at what a moistrizing spit in the eyes of a man who'd been blinded by pocket-sand looked like...
"Rogue's Passage." I said aloud, glancing down at my 6 floating mana.
So just like everyone else with such a story, you just drew a land...
...and unlike everyone else, it was the perfect draw.
@@Lovuschka You totally had me there for a moment! I was looking at my notifications and the entire comment didn't show up loool
@@redzeal2746 ;-)
Ari lax top decking siege rhino at PT khans of tarkir is pretty dope too
i was facing lethal next turn and top decked a gideon, ally of zendkar, i already had a gideon, aoz on the field with archangel avacyn, opponent was 3 with a ton of blockers, so i switched up the gideon to creature and played the other gideon, so the gideon creature died and eot flipped avacyn doing the 3 damage lol
Lmao @14:15 looking round for anybody to help make sense of how he lost that one
