i understanding that topdecking answers in highstake games is exciting, but topdecking is not what i had in mind when i think of best plays.

too bad most of these clips were recorded with a calculator

I'm 24 seconds in but I'm already overwhelmed by the social awkwardness of their interaction

These guys creep me out

Top plays? This is just luckiest plays..

The helix is overrated, that Nassif vs Chapin was 10x more entertaining. By far the best moment.

why th 2-3 final should be 0-5?

One of my personal favorites is Frank Karsten Reclaiming a Gifts Ungiven, drawing it with Top, and then Giftsing for only Yosei and Kokusho. Gifts forces his opponent to put them both in the yard, where he will Goryo's Vengeance one next turn for the win due to his opponent's Form of the Dragon. It was apparently the first time that this particular trick with Gifts was used, so it leaves the commentators pretty stunned. Great topdecks are nice, but great skill teaches lessons.

The look LSV gives Kibbler after Bonefire is revealed is fantastic.

How did you guys not have Yugi moto drawing the last piece of exodia as #1

It's very cool that they rented the set of "Between two ferns"

The best Magic advice: "You Char to the face and knock the top of your deck. That's the play."

Happy to see this back on my recommended. Such sweet plays

My two favorite MTG plays of all time, Chapin's Profane Command giving fear to all his legal targets and Mike Long's "Do I really have to play this out?" when he had no way to win.

Makihito vs Paulo is the best one for me. takes a serious mindset to get your head back into the game where you did a fuck up and manage to get it to go your way after all.

LSV top decking Tamiyo in PT eldritch moon was pretty sick too.

Great list and glad the Lightning Helix play was tops, so memorable to this day.

His that windmill slam is so awesome, makes me smile every time

you guys should do a part 2 of this and include just amazing plays recently or ones that did not quite make that list

Seeing the showmanship and calling out what card you wanna see is so cool. I can hardly imagine that ever being a thing in YGO (the card game I play). Maybe if you’re about to lose to deck out and your opponent has no backrow and no cards in hand, so you need to win on that specific turn? But even still it’s hard to imagine a scenario where the opponent wouldn’t be helped by having perfect knowledge of your hand. Even during your turn.
