That table slam by Gabriel Nassif will always be an iconic moment in Magic history.

No matter how many times I see the Ignite Memories clip, it never gets old. Greatest moment in MTG history imo

Shoutouts to Chapin for being a good sport about the game against Nassif. The irony of bob bob'ing himself though is pretty good.

I would have thought Nassifs odds were worse than 10%! I just love that moment, and that there’s a guy who blows an airhorn when Chapin loses lol

The odds are that good cause for the first three he basically his a 66% chance of being fine. The last two are based off how many rites he flipped in the first three.

The thing is, in Nassif's case, we are looking at the odds of he surviving that Ignite Memories. Many times when talking about luckiest comebacks, people talk about the chances of that specific scenario happening.

Lots of possible combinations would've kept him alive there, all that needed to happen was not revealing Ignite Memories at all on the 5 events and revealing Rite of Flame at least twice, every combination in any order sticking to those precepts would have kept him alive.

And trust I have.

4 hollow ones is for sure the greatest odds but the comeback was the most pleasing one. A good comeback is always amazing. I had a really good one with my elf commander deck against both a goblin and skeleton deck, thank you Lathril, Miara and serpent soul jar.

Just had a casual commander match a few days ago where I was running Okaun//Zndrsplt. Pretty much only Okaun and Krark's Thumb on the field. Okaun's trigger goes off, and I manage to pull off 16 consecutive coin flip wins, giving me an absolute BEAST of 196608/196608 (3 * 2^16), to which I then fed Temur Battle Rage for some sweet sweet doublestrike trample. Apparently, getting 16 favoured flips with Thumb in play is a 1% chance (0.75^16).

Blackjack players envy you around the world!

The Chapin v Nassif match is one of my all time favourites. I rewatch that footage every time it shows up.

I love the Nassif one. Every time I see it and Pat says “do you have a response?” With that smug look, then slumps down in his chair.

Watching the Nassif vs Chappin match on here was so fun 😂 that game and those moments are what it’s all about imo, more than anything else just players having a good time, having a laugh, playing to the last life count :)

Yes! I’ll never get tired of seeing the Nassif/Chafin Dragonstorm mirror! Thanks for putting it up so I could see it again, Nikachu! Have a great day👌 Bob losing to Bob was pretty rich! I’ve done it, too. But I still love the card! I’m sleeving up an updated version of Modern the Rock tonight after putting it down for a while. Greatness, at any cost.

That last game had me rolling laughing. What a great video to wake up to.

Ignite Memories in nice but imagine casting Grapeshot as the fifth spell of a turn in a Torbran deck. Man oh man.

I love hollow one and still play a version of it in modern. Best I've gotten is 3 on turn 1. I also think this deck will have a shot in the meta again with the printing of Containment Construct in the new set

Always love your content man! I miss watching pro tour videos, I really do hope they bring it back.

I will start readyn out loud the flavor tests on my commander table kkkkk. Nice content! 🇧🇷

Big Chapin fan here! He successfully ran one of my favorite standard decks ever. Junk Midrange.

And I thought I was lucky when I kept a zero land hand with four traps just for giggles. When my opponent played a polluted delta I was like....I will never top this.

Haha - love the Han Solo reference :) Your commentary is well-pitched for the casual player, which I appreciate. I don't know all the damn cards and I'm glad you explain the deets.

Awesome video! Can't wait for the stream tomorrow.

That last match reminded me of when I was playing shadalar, and the game glitched out in such a way that my opponent did absolutely nothing on their turn, but I decided it was a good idea to play a Mana Crypt. It was not a good idea to play mana crypt-- five bad coin flips later and I was dead.

That Nassif - Chapin was a blast !! I watched it live and I was smiling for a week 😎

Random guy: What's the move you made to snag the championship title Champion: played some lands 😆

Check out the Milton Figueroa vs Harry Corvese match from an SCG Legacy event for more extreme luck swings.

Ive seen a commander game with 2 people in my pod getting into a counter war on my brainstorm. they both proceded to use pact of negation and didnt have enough to pay and i won the game by doing nothing

great video! like it man, keep it up

i played a match where i had a ton of creatures, an enchantment that gives all creatures +1/+1 and trample and my opponent was at 1 health, he played the 4 mana blue sleep card that taps all my creatures.. and then drew it again next turn and played it.. and then drew it a third time turn after and played it, each time tapping all creatues i cast then attacking.. he won the game :)

I love pat chapin he was so nice when it fizzled

You can't even be mad there, sometimes Magic is just more enjoyable when you lose in such an epic fashion!

I think the luckiest I’ve gotten was a 4-player game of Commander where I was playing Alesha, Who Smiles at Death as a Reanimator/Token deck. Opponent plays Hive Mind and immediately follows it with a Warp World (he was playing a Chaos deck). Since my deck generated tokens I gained permanents with each Warp and the 2nd and 4th resolutions flipped my Purphoros onto the battlefield alongside all the tokens generating from the EtB effects. I did upwards of 40 damage to each opponent by accident and won. That and the time I pulled 2 copies of Zurgo Helmsmasher at the Khans of Tarkir prerelease tournament at my LGS-got me to 2nd place!

absolutely loving your content I love reading and listening to mtg history/drama/scandal and everything (grab popcorn) Only 1 problem I have is the music is too loud sometime and causing the distraction great content

I bealive we all wana see more Nikachu videos about MTG :))

Well I had the absurd scenario where I played a burning inquiry and the opponent 3 random discards were 3 obstinate baloth... on the first turn :/

“And that Taco Bell will burn more that Ignite Memories” probably accurate 😆

On Russian WinCondition channel there was a pauper game, in which a player had four burning-tree emissaries in the opening hand. That was a swift victory for him. Not as strong as four hollow ones, but still devastating. And in my gaming experience there was a super Cabal Coffers game:(

Greatness, at any cost!

A friend of a friend played a Warhammer Fantasy tournament. His cannons all exploded due to missfire. On the first shot. In every game. I think the odds for that many bad rolls in a row was in the billions

I was once playing a commander game and we all rolled d20s to start the game. We all rolled a 20. Everyone re-rolled. We all rolled 17s. I worked out the probability at some point. Pretty sure that's never going to happen to me again.

His name is Matt Nass and he is playing a discard your own hand deck? Madness!

I really miss paper magic and the old pro tour set up. I hate that we don’t have that anymore.

Luckiest I’ve ever seen in modern was 4x archive trap in opening hand 😅 and I was sure he never cheated because opponent shuffled his deck. It was never caught on camera because it’s just a weekly league game which was a pity

Thanks Brother!

4 copies of archive trap in your starting hand is basically Exodia.

"Is a burn deck who deals damage to your face with burn spells" In other news Orange is named orange because it has the same tonality as an orange.

Bob thought he plays agains Owen. But he played against Luigi.

Ignite Memories v Ignite Memories has to be the top #1. Plus - and I confess to not knowing anything about MtG after that era when I played, Chapin and Nassif were two class acts that I looked up to.

"Greatness at any cost." It was great he got to design his own card but it cost him that championship.

I want to feel bad for Bob, but...he is on his own Magic card lol

Bob: +1 mana, lifelink

lol running force of will with bobs because force of will is a 4 of in so many decks in vintage... its like your ckmpetativeness is fuckkng you over in the end lol.

I've flipped Battle of Wits off of Unexpected Results. That was a surprise. Must've been around a 1.3% chance of that happening. The luckiest play I've seen, which I think was authentic, was when someone cast their first Treasure Hunt and flipped over all the lands in their deck! That must be a pretty rare occurrence too.

That Nassif's moment...

I've been Hallowed 4 before, it's rough

I'd like to hear how that math was done for the first example. I find very frequently things like opening hand chance, mulligans, scrys (and the option of wether or not to take them) and various other things of that I'll aren't taken into account. I'll have to check out this Frank Karsten guy to see if he's different.

If this happened in Arena, there would be no surprise at all tbh
