    Back when I started in odyssey a friend had all these in real cards and we played a lot of games against them using my standard deck. Survival always blew my mind with how powerful it was. He had an answer for everything. Never won against that one or any of them but it really drew me in with how someone could construct decks like that that could basically blank out everything. The combo decks from back then while they weren’t fast by today’s standards were very interesting to watch and gave you a sense of false hope that you could pull out - until the 7/7 hit the board and even if you could remove it just came back.

    That recurring nightmare deck is beautiful. It makes me sad that the power creep is so bad that this deck is basically unplayable now. All of the OP cards are taking the fun and cool simple interaction away. Now a 1 mana drop has a whole book worth of text. No more vanilla creatures being created. Mtg is more confusing than ever because they just have to keep coming up with wacky mechanics that are essentially a reskinned version of older mechanics. This was really enjoyable game play to watch.

    20:59 I was wondering if you guys would miss this rule change. In 1998 damage goes on the stack. The spike feeder could deal it's damage, killing the orc, and then remove it's counters killing itself and leaving damage on the stack. Mogg fanatic worked the same way, so it could deal combat damage and still sacrifice itself to deal 1 more. I dunno when, but it had changed when I started playing again after taking years off -edit- i just saw the explanation of the "batch". It's funny because we didn't play that way. We played the way the stack works now. Everywhere I played in BC and Ontario in the '90s played with the stack, we called it that too

    Another rule that was changed just before these championship decks were made - there used to be a step during combat where you could activate instant speed effects after combat damage was assigned but before damage was delt. That meant Mog Fanatic could kill 2 toughness creatures, or 2 for 1 with two 1 toughness creatures and is a major reason why the combat rules were changed.

    Oh man ball lightning that takes me back. I had a red green deck for a while already, and then lost to a deck using ball lightning. So I decided to build a deck around it. ASlso green red. The idea was to clear the board with fireball, bold and chain lightning to clear thbe way and then play this beauty. It got supported by giant growth and berserk. Just 1 giant growth and 1 berserk could deliver 18 damage, which back then was soo much better then now. Today doing 18 damage in 1 tuirn is pretty common, but back then very few decks could deliver such a blow, and this dexck could do it as early as turn 3, in a time where magic was MUCH slower and most games went well beyond turn 5

    These retro videos are great! Obviously I'm biased because this is the Magic I learned to play growing up: I remember buying the French equivalent of Duelist magazine to understand how the stack worked and I'm still conditioned to think about creatures' P/T & CMC as basically "needing to be balanced" (and the way that was done back then looks insane now, 11 year old me was stoked to have Balduvian Horde in his deck lol). Great work as always guys. Loved Frank's chill professorial vibes and Jamin's glee at the deck popping off. And kudos on the editing, it just keeps getting better and better.

    How is this not the menu for every stream out there? Provide all information you need and does not overcrowded the screen. Displays triggers when they occur which allows the viewer to follow along with combos. Looks clean as hell and isn't obtrusive of the play field. Hats off to whoever designed it

    My favorite thing about the world champs was watching all the old replays of crazy plays on KZread when I was just getting into magic. Stuff like surviving 5 ignite memories triggers, winning against Necropotence on a bad mull with multiple Unmasks from the opp, Char the face and flip a burn spell, it's weird thinking about how I was barely alive if that when they happened but they still left a lasting impact on magic as a whole.

    Das ist Nostalgie pur! Danke für das Video. Das Ruben Deck hatte ich damals (auch golden umrahmt), ich spielte es gerne gegen Schulfreunde. Damals bekam ich die sammelsucht aufgrund dieses Decks...und diese sucht fällt bis heute an. Leider wurde es durch einen Wasserschaden in meinem damaligen Elternhaus mit meiner damaligen kleinen Sammlung zerstört. Aber dank des Ruben Decks lernte ich Magic bis heute lieben.

So it's really cool to get to see what the game played like back then. This was a hell of a watch. Thanks, guys! Loved this, and would love to see more of it.

    the first sentence brought me to tears... there really was a time before magic arena and it was amazing. It started for me in what must've been 2000-2002 and my mom bought be a pack of cards that came with a foil thorn elemental and a pc version of the game to finally teach me how to play the game I'd been collecting lmao. Even the duels of the planeswalkers releases take a shit on arena. The video is paused at 0:06 and I really don't think I need to finish it. There was a time before arena - RIP every magic player born 30+ years ago, 2 weeks ago.
