Clearly Remy knows how to play MTG so I can only assume he intentionally sets up ridiculous board states and misplays in his videos for the engagement. Half his engagement comes from people who enjoy his parody, the other half from angry magic players pointing out rules violations and how his lands never match the spells he's casting.

I mean I too would probably be too focused on my opponent's catchy song to notice every mistake he makes.

There are actually no rules mistakes in this video. The volume of people looking forward to new Remy videos has simply caused a leyline of anticipation to form under his house, giving all his cards flash. Meanwhile, what might *look* like an Abyssal Persecutor is *actually* the clone from Snappy, which is why he calls it a rare (Persecutor is mythic). And of course we are watching the video through a Possessed Portal, which is why he doesn't draw off the Veil *or* at the beginning of his turn. This also explains why the opponent doesn't have a rat token, the portal ate it. ...I can't explain why the Lynx doesn't seem to have any counters, though. So I guess there's *one* mistake.

@ky1i316

Жыл бұрын

What if the other player killed his rat and then cast heartless act on the lynx during Remy's end step on the previous turn, Which would definitely be the number 1 target for heartless act.... definitely. Also veil of summer doesn't make him draw a card since he hasn't cast a black or blue spell yet, curtains call is on the stack and hasn't resolved yet. Though him casting a sorcery as an instant is a mistake though. But to be fair his opponent is cheating as well, unless there are 3 other players outside of eyes view on the table there should be no way for him to cast curtain's call with 2 (tapped) land.
