Vintage is Magic: The Gathering's most powerful format. What was the best Vintage deck ever? On this channel, we made our community vote for one deck to represent each year since 2000, recruited Vintage Experts to play a 5-round tournament, and now we bring you each match of the Top 8. Simon Nielsen is playing Carl Perks in best-of-3 games of paper magic gameplay and either Karn the Great Creator or Smokestack could be knocked out of the tournament.

I must say, Simon is so fun to have on camera playing magic with the cardmarket-magic crew. Like how andrea comes on every once in a while, what would it take for this punny gentleman to come and play more magic with you all? In other words, I hope to see more of Simon, especially on cardmarket!
Love Carl’s mulligan discipline in game 1
Carl, you were the underdog. When you got game 1 on the draw, I couldn't believe it. You played all the games extremely well. I am very impressed and really didn't expect the games to be close. Very entertaining, thank you.
7:02 "I can tap it to add one Blue of any color" I guess that's not entirely wrong...
Incredible game. Simon missed that Walking Balista costs 11 but luckily he had a mox to pay for it, restoring the game state!
That was very well piloted, Carl. You're up against one of the best players in the world, you win on the draw, and bring the final game to 1 point of life. If Simon had lost his last rock-paper-scissors, he wouldn't have been able to tap any of his ancient tombs. And your deck was a decade older. Respect.
Goblin Wielder is back! He's wielding that welding equipment.
SMOKESTACK HYPE! ☁☁
Technically Simon had to pay 11 on the last turn because of the sphere and he only taped 11 but he had an unused mox so it didn't matter
17:40 lol the citation of the flavor text of the card Null Rod is so good! Because that is exactly what Karn does to the board of Carl. Bravo Simon 👏
34:47 It didn’t matter bc Simon had the mox to pay the extra 1, but both players seem to immediately forget that there is a sphere of resistance in play
Chairman carl's outfit goes hard
Before we head into the 2nd match of the semi-finals, this is our running power counter: Black Lotus: 11 Mox Jet: 10 Mox Sapphire: 8 Ancestral Recall: 6 Mox Emerald: 4 Mox Pearl: 4 Time Walk: 4 Mox Ruby: 2 Timetwister: was mentioned once With Mengu eliminated, Timetwister is no longer in the running but remains #1 in Commander and in my heart. This match promises many options. In addition to format favorite Black Lotus, both decks run the full set of Moxen, but only Carl has access to Ancestral Recall, while neither has access to Time Walk. Will Simon be able to make up for it by wishing upon a Karn? Will Carl be able to stack the cards in his favor? Will Simon's Ballista walk, or Carl's Triskelion be left standing? Will we see a Goblin's tinkering license be revoked? And can Black Lotus strengthen its lead? See y'all when the video releases! *SPOILER BLOCK* In this match, we saw: Black Lotus: x2 22:22 | 23:53 Mox Pearl: x1 27:22 Mox Sapphire: x1 6:54 Mox Jet: x1 33:27 Mox Ruby: x1 12:55 So now the new power counter heading into the finals is: Black Lotus: 13 Mox Jet: 11 Mox Sapphire: 8 Ancestral Recall: 6 Mox Pearl: 5 Mox Emerald: 4 Time Walk: 4 Mox Ruby: 3 Timetwister: forever undefeated I'm starting to think Black Lotus is a pretty good card
Your chemistry is just delightful on top of well explained high level play. I love all 1v1 format series.
Shops feels like the clear favorite here but Stax is my favorite deck/archetype of all time so I have to root for it!

I'm so ready for this! This is gonna be such a cool matchup. Edit: what a good match!
That was probably the most fun MTG match 2 people ever played ROCK PAPER SCISSORS FOR THE WIN!!!
8:50 Been playing for less than a year, enough to know sensei’s top is good but not really why, never thought about stacking its abilities like this, that’s really cool, you learn something new
The "Mudsling Match" has begun and I can't wait for it :3 An incredible match by both Simon and Carl, a shame that the Artifact deck lost cause I really wanted to see the Artifact deck in the finals but oh well. Good work to the both of you :3
