And this isn't even the only crazy lucky sequence Nassif has had in a top 8! Nassif's called shot is equally insane!

BONUS LORE: Didn't have time to put this in anywhere but this match and deck were so influential that P Chapin and his musical collaborator Spruke wrote a song about it for their Magic-themed hip hop duo 'The Gatherin' You can see the music video here, ngl it still goes pretty hard: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yGavp32DaoGCp4o

I first saw your video on the sliver kids - which was really great. And then this one is really good too. I'm not into competitive MTG (I know OF the game but don't play), and these videos did a good job of setting the stage, explaining the foundation of the strategies, and telling an interesting story. I hope to see more of these, they're really cool!

Love these retro MtG videos! I specialize in the history of competitive Pokemon, so it's really cool to learn about this game's competitive history as well!

By calculations, the chance of this happening is 31 in 243, something close to 12%. All combinations of 5 Ignites with 3 different mana values:243 (1+1+1+2+2 and 2+2+1+1+1 are two different events for example). Doing combinations and adding up any combination with result life points 1 , 2,3,4 and excluding any scenario with a Memories reveal (insta loss) we have 31 possible surviving scenarios of 243 possible scenarios. Nonetheless, still an insane turn of events. I consider these slam flips more insane than the legendary Helix flip on Honolulu. Edit: corrected my calculations as pointed by darkshadow1416

Not just a little bit higher, it's actually closer to 1/10 (easy way to get order of magnitude: Ignite Memories can never be chosen so that's (2/3)^5, then you can afford up to 3 shots on grapeshot which is all but 6/32 of the remaining cases). So while it was incredible theatrics, it wasn't as unlikely as one might think.

@@darkshadow1416 yep you are correct, little mistake using all 243 (3 to the power of 5) combinations but counting the scenarios where Nasif escapes as single events. Any order of the correct sum counts, making it 31/243 or =~12%.

It's not, I think that phrase might be older than Magic itself but it's certainly the series that arguably propelled it into 'mainstream' Magic culture at least.

Hey it's a great match, probably the best known of most on the Tour apart from a few others I could think of although it kind of depends how long you've been watching. Also given how long it takes me to make videos currently, once I've started an edit it doesn't really make sense to stop even if other people have also covered it.

I have a question, why are they playing dual lands here if they’re running mono red decks? I was 4 years old when this series happened so I was not exactly in tune with the metagame and I’m not sure what lands were in rotation at the time and what benefits they would have given, I’m trying think of what older dual lands they could be running but I’m drawing blanks. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated!
@Ozymandias42

The duals they're using are the Time Spiral "Storage Lands" (Specifically Molten Slagheap and Fungal Reaches) that let you tap them and an additional mana to put counters on them which can be cashed in for that many mana of their color on a later turn when you're comboing off.

^this Defs didn't have time to cover ALL of the nuance in the video but these lands were an integral part of how the deck was able to function. Time Spiral storage lands are SO powerful in this era and I'm sad more people didn't get to appreciate them. Also didn't get to mention that the reason they're playing Snow-Covered lands was to try and juke opponents in the Swiss rounds into thinking they were playing Skred Red a red based control-ish deck. It likely didn't come up often but it was basically free to do so they just jammed the Coldsnap basics in there.
