We Play YOUR €50 Vintage Decks

We asked our viewers to send us their cheapest decks for the most expensive format, and it's amazing what people have brewed, what is possible even under such limitations. Carl and Thoralf's showdown now shows off six different strategies!

Here's our long-form Magic video of the week. If you still crave more material to watch, make sure to check out our shorts on YouTube!
