The strongest sorcerer of today vs the strongest sorcerer of history.

Watching Hogaak go off that first game was just stupid in all the good ways. So broken. Thanks for putting this together.

Sometimes I wonder and go, "Maybe just unban it all and let the magoc gods sort it out"... then I watch this and go "Oh yeah."

51:34 Richard casually tapping a land for mana to cast Hogaak. You thought we didn't notice, but we did. JUDGE!!!

This is awesome! Can we see a Round 2 wherein Hogaak builds with the cards printed in his absence and Nadu gets a chance to build with the expectation of playing against him? At the time of Hogaak, Leyline was a staple because people anticipated seeing him.

51:35 Richard tapped a land to cast hoggak. He needed to exile one more card from yard.

If I'm not mistaken, Urza's Saga could have fetched one of the Haywire Mites instead of Shuko at 12:05, since this would have given Seth two more triggers to find lands with. I'm not sure how much it would actually end up mattering though, since Richard might've just won anyways with the combo.

Never actually see a Hogaak match but wow... That is honestly brutal!

"If Hogaak got a god hand...I'd have a little trouble." "But Nadu, would you lose?" "...Nah, I'd Win."

I think Richard missed approximately 23 full zombie movies worth of zombie triggers in that 2nd game. Also in game 4 I think Richard shuffled Polluted Delta back into his deck instead of putting it in the GY when fetching on turn 2.

Watching Nadu combo must be what having a stroke feels like

Everyone talking about hogaak comming in using a land, but no one talking about when the nadu combo happened seth played endurance and everyone just thought he had infinite endurance triggers so he had infinite mana and tokens. He didnt infinitly loop it till he bestowed the springheart nantuko on it which they showed AFTER he went infinite which is just not possible

Very cool content idea! Would love to see more stuff like this

I howled with laughter when the chipmunk voices started on that fast forwarded Nadu combo. Wish there was an IRL option to do that - would make it bearable. Awesome video!

I had this exact thought yesterday about these decks, but I feel like players would find a way to play hogaak in the nadu deck

I really love 1v1 Goldfish content! I would love to see some more stuff like this where you play decks/match-ups that you would never see being played on Arena/MTGO.

Honestly Seth didn't know Nadu well enough to pilot it. Surveil land instead of dryad arbor and not grabbing haywire mite G2 make it obvious.
