We invited special guest Frank Karsten back to play the 1999 World Championship decks and show us what the game was like back then! We explore mana burn, graveyard order, and this brand new thing called The Stack (That's where your damage goes)

    Frank is a very chill, knowledgeable, dude; keep inviting him!
  • @CanadianPianoMan
    It's insane how much fast mana existed and was legal back then. Nowadays you'd probably just do everything find a way to end the game either that turn or the next turn. But back then "everything" is mostly "play a big dude" or "play a big spell" and pass. Truly just a different era

    This first game was wild. "I will follow up my turn 1 5/5 with an 2 mana 1/1." Magic back than was Something else.
  • @jarrettaj
    Love that the graphics displaying the hands are using the old card frame. Immediately aesthetically pleasing. Shoutout to whoever did that.
  • @FlowBerni
    Uncle Frank and his 2 nephews sitting down for some story time magic. <3 love this series

    We used to buy all these World Champ decks back in middle school and pit them against each other. Everybody always wanted to play with the Wildfire artifact deck. I wish WotC would bring these precons back. They were great for kids with no money that still wanted a taste of true power.
  • @bobbyhanson346
    Even though Frank lost this match, I am struck by how extremely tight his play is. He is so good!
  • @regisphilbin529
    You guys have really hit gold with this series, informative for younger players but nostalgic for us elderly.
  • @rosshutchinson503
    Card Market doing the Lord's work by doing these historical videos and gameplay, further cementing their status as best MTG channel on YouTube.
  • @BrootalMetalBanjo
    I want more of the World Champ decks I recall my friend playing with some and they were nuts. Nostalgia like classic WoW, we’ll never get to experience the infancy of a game the way we used to.
  • @arthurmurta803
    Living in a small city in Brazil, this exact black deck was the only contact to meta MTG that I had back in 2000. That`s when I realized those dark ritual cards that I had a bunch of were actually good. I only have a Yawgmoth`s Will today, because I traded for one back in the day after seeing it on this deck. Fun times!
  • @bricelory9534
    I absolutely love this - and it is so fun seeing how much Frank clearly loves reminiscing about the old days of Magic. This was a fun match - especially with the opening turn 1's, haha!
  • @joonasjarnvall832
    I love Frank Carsten. I made my bacholor's thesis with his articles about probability in card games.
  • @MrKikke2
    Yesss!! I NEED more of this old school magic
  • @blade6321
    Frank Karsten is an absolute icon to me...and I barely saw him during his pro career! His statistical analysis of the game is second to none. His articulate analytical mind comes across just as well in his play.
  • @jacksonkohls820
    god, the amount of editing work gone into this with the cards in hand having hard corners and the manaburn animation. I'm loving it!
  • @joshua_lee732
    That start is why I loved old school artifact decks
  • @jacksonlittle5993
    "You mean unaffected by summoning sickness." lol fun watch. These old decks and era of mtg is something special <3
