I mean, isn't this just the rakdos midrange deck?

I don't think it actually wound up mattering (Carl had an untapped land in hand the first time, and it didn't get tapped the second time), but Field of the Dead actually enters the battlefield tapped. That drawback wound up mattering decidedly less than the designers intended, as it still got banned in multiple formats. But if you're ever playing FotD in EDH, just know that it's a tapland.

Im still watching game 3 and i am having so much fun! The chemistry between you too had me chuckling and the production quality is 2nd to none. Way to go everyone! The editors also do a fantastic job stitching all this together :D

Always a banger! This was a lot of fun - especially considering, technically, each of you cast your 2 card combos twice this match. Nutty how close it was! Your content is great! And from a very practical sense, it is excellent marketing. If I were in Europe, I guarantee I'd prioritize Card Market over other options for cards - and in no small part because of this channel. Its marketing I can get behind!

A brief summary of these game: Player on the draw: "I'm going to combo off and win as soon as they pass" Player on the play: "and I combo off, and win right now."

This is great. I like seeing these kinds of things because it makes some of the banned cards make sense. Ive heard plenty of why they are banned but seeing them played helps a lot.

The music in this video was very well done. I didnt even notice it untill 30min in, and it just gave good vibes without overbearing things. Excellent work

I had not onsidered the meta-game of going away to film your thought process to bluff having stuff, that's so funny :D Also yes please more of all the crazy stuff.

Even though I know Thoralf is the better player, even though Carl unintentionally cheated, even though Thoralf's deck seems a lot more consistent, even though Thoralf seems like the main character whenever he plays, I can't help but root for Carl every time, without fail. He's too lovable.

I love this so much. Hit up a friend and were building no banlist "pioneer light" decks, since we can play no banlist historic (explorer) on arena right now

Carl's topdecks were the nuts. Very fun video, keep it up!

There's a channel called Team APS that a few years ago was doing a lot of creative card game content with YuGiOh: Drafts, "can we make a deck around this card" challenges, random card haul deck building challenges, etc. At the time I was hoping beyond hope that I, as an MTG player much more than a YGO player, could find an MTG channel that did the same sort of interesting creative stuff. While it's not exactly the same, this channel really fills that want for me. You guys are incredible.

Man this video was a trip down memory lane for me. I played most of my magic during the period between Khans block and Thrones of Eldraine, the period that accounts for some of pioneer's most powerful cards and it felt like every spell featured in both decks was one I'd cast a thousand times before

"Thoralf What Ban Cards would you like to play?" "Oh, just Those ones that fit in my deck strategy." "Carl What Ban Cards would you like to play?" "Y E S"

Oooh, I always thought you guys the the interviews AFTER the games! :D That is indeed a good way to bluff

I really would like to see how a Winnota Deck performs with all the banned cards.

I love no banlist videos! please make more!

Once upon a time into goose into oko was the most busted start during that time. I remember the only counter was to run Noxious grasp (think that was the name) which was meant to be a sideboard card but was never dead because everyone ran Oko. It was insane those cards were supposed to be standard legal alongside Uro and Yorion etc.

The mind games around that censor 😎 i love the way yall do interviews

Thoralf really has such a brightness when he is playing and Carl plays off it so well. Love the chemistry of this channel.

For some reason I love the idea of you guys metagaming and doing interviews after turns where you do nothing.

Another killer video! Carl has my heart for playing a big pile of banned cards and making it work

MAAAAAAAAAAAAN that final draw!!! These videos are awesome

20:00 I like how the editor put in the little red damage flash for the zero damage.

Somethingt funny that I saw was that in the last game you could have won with Thoralf's combo through exchanging the food with Thassa, then blinking Oko with the Guardian (from Saheeli) to create another food, then next turn steal the Inverter to win. A fun possibility I saw lol.

Excellent video, as always! I love that the "pile of banned cards" won out in the end. ----- I've really enjoyed the historic matches you've done with Frank Karsten using the 1997, 1998, and 1999 World Championship decks. While I figure you're already planning on doing later years, do you got any plans on doing 1996, 1995, and 1994? I know that that might include some "creative" solutions for some of the cards (what with the '94 deck just having a casual Power Nine in it) but I would love to see those decks played!
