The Most Skill-Intensive MTG Format | We Try Dandân
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 06. 2023
- Dandan also known as Forgetful Fish is one of the most complicated and skill intensive Magic the Gathering formats. Two players share one deck, one graveyard and one color (it's blue) and the only creature in the deck that can kill your opponent is - you probably guessed it - Dandan, a 4/1 fish for two blue mana, that relies on Islands on both sides. Players require highly developed skills and a near perfect memory - do Jamin and Thoralf have what it takes to master this format?

Dandân Decklist: bit.ly/42nthrF
Should have called it the Dandân Deckdeck list.

@@christopherlapp4553 who is Dan?
OK, I'll definitely assemble that deck. Looks fun.
"How am I supposed to play around an Act of Treason in a mono-Blue deck?"
The greatest trick Blue ever played was convincing you it wasn't also every other color at once.
Psionic Blast, my beloved. No one ever expects the mono blue burn.
@@GG-dt5hh an actual insane card under certain circumstances. Glad to see the mention.
Isn't the deck not mono-Blue though? They run temple of epiphany and red flashback costs. So it's a Blue Red deck.
@@Bread-lw3rx No red spells, no red deck.
Thumbnail is 12/10!
Agree
This man DESERVES to be fish reacted

I would have liked another round or two of this.
Please do a best of 3!
Yeah, these videos always feel super short
That's my biggest complaint about this channel.
I asked them to do one game because I thought it would last over an hour 😅 if I was there, I would have told them to have another go or two
@@CardmarketMagic I know youtube doesn't like hour+ long videos and I'm sure they would be a pain for yourself to work on but, I am a longform content fiend and would not mind a few longer videos every now and then.
As the creator, I’m glad to see as many Dandan play videos as possible. Everyone should experience Forgetful Fish, whether it is my original list or personalized version. Not some of my favorite card choices in this list but to each their own.
Yoo THE Nick behind Dandan! I wrote an article on ForgetFul fish last year. I loved all your 2 player 2 deck formats. So glad to see the format has taken off
What's the purpose of mind bend? Is there ANY card in the deck it can interact with?
@@Nalianna Change islands to another land type on a dandan to kill it
@@Nalianna Yeah. It's removal. And a niche use for it is to change your Island into a Mountain so you can flashback a Mystic Retrieval in the graveyard. There is one or two other uses that are even more niche.
@@thesvengallideck Thanks. I have a couple other variants that I hope to post sooner rather than later. We'll see.
Toffel casting Dandan without controlling any islands is exactly how I would have messed up.
lol Toffel is my spirit-animal.
Sometimes it's nice to see that even the best players in the world can still mess up something that simple.
yeah, I thought "well played, now Thoralf has a Dandan, and Jamin still can't attack to race". Then I thought "oops" ; )
9:06 I always thought the explanations were done in post. Surprised to know they just stop the game to secretly explain.
Maybe they have a notepad where they write down what they plan to put in the explanations later? Or they do actually stop between turns to record a bit each time.
It's amazing what the general public doesn't understand about audio/visual productions.
They do stop mid recording- it was brought up in a past vid with a guest. I think the Remy commander game he mentioned the recording
Just another detail that makes the cardmarket gameplay vids some of, if not the best paper magic gameplay on yt
It does surprise me as well, I figured interruptions would break the flow of the video, but doing it right there and then does mean that they can spell out what is in their mind to the camera, which is not something you can do as accurately 10-15 minutes later after an entire MTG game.
11:23 - "How am I supposed to play around an act of treason in a mono-blue deck"
I loved that comment! As though islands can't react! :D
Brilliant video, thankyou!
And as if Blue isn't the secondary color in this effect
tbf tapped lands kinda _can't_ react
I could easily watch another game or three of Dandân. It feels like we’ve only scratched the surface.
We need to _dive_ in.
yeah getting dandân flooded made it very uninteractive
Unironically one of the best TCG channels on CZcams. Every video is a banger. You guys are seriously a role model for me in terms of video quality, especially considering you have a German origin. Truly impressive.
100%, the variety and quality is absolutely astonishing, the only comparable paper magic gameplay I can think of on yt is Shuffle up and play
Danke :) that is very kind of you to say. We put a lot of effort in our work and I'm happy when people notice it
These weird niche format games are great. I'd love to see more Tower games with more people!
We're saving the next Judge Tower video for a very special guest we will be inviting from the US 🤠
Back in high school I used to love Pentagram as a game mode. 5 players, one for each color (and ideally playing monocolored decks that fit their color). You are allied with your traditionally allied colors (so players to your left and right), and opponent (mechanically, in the game - your allies aren't considered "opponents") to your enemy colors (the ones across you). You can target anything that's legal on the board, but you can only attack your opponents/enemies (or their planeswalkers, and now, battles). Winning condition is both your enemies are out of the game (so you can have allied wins if a player losing triggers both his enemies victories), you have to plan ahead around other people achieving their goals, even if you're not directly in trouble!
Games can be a bit long but it's a very flavoury and diplomatic multiplayer gamemode. I'd love to see your merry band play one out :)
I’m so so happy Dandan is spreading, and I hope the original creator becomes aware of its impact
I emailed them, but not sure if the address is still correct
He became aware after having been featured in a RhysticStudies video.
The true madness of this format didn't really occur to me until about the midway point when I realized that truly playing it meant manipulating your opponents draws as well as your own through top-of-library shenanigans. If Jamin had held back from attacking, I could easily see how this might have stretched out into a complicated mess of a game. Hindsight is twenty twenty though. I absolutely would have made the same mistake as him.
Wait until you see two Memory Lapses on the stack 😉
@@Rabid_Wombat And then the opponent lets the counter happen so they can have that spell on the top of the library because they happen to have a draw spell in their hand to recast the spell, but the other guy counters with a draw spell of their own to try and nab the spell first and then that gets countered with another memory lapse...
@@ClanCrusher why use a draw spell when you can just Cycle? Whenever you see someone play a Cycle Land tapped in Dandân you know they are a n00b 😁
Sometimes the thumbnail is so good you gotta like before even watching lol
The thumbnail is awesome 😂
This reminds me of a stack one of the guys at my LGS has, where there's no way to deal damage, and the only way to win is via decking your opponents.
Decking is a real threat in Dandân too - late game Diminishing Returns becomes a kill card 😅
Yes! I love the videos that showcase weird and interesting formats for Magic. Please keep up the great content!😁
I've never eard about this format before, but it seems like so much fun !!! Thanks a lot for all the efforts you put in each video, the editing is perfect for understanding how it plays out, as always !!!
Omg i love you so much. Its DAN-DAN
That was fun! I always love hearing the thought process behind the games and seeing your hands. It feels like we're playing alongside you!
Super cool content! Have read about Dandan before but never saw it played. Really interesting format and appreciate that you gave it a shot to showcase it for us.
Love how everyone who works at card market magic looks like they just woke up… and is living the dream 😎
We are 🤠
Would love to see more rounds of each unique format, just to see how you guys really dive into the meta each time. Also, more Judge's Tower - that was the coolest Magic video I've seen in a long time!
This was excellent and the editing was exceptional! I loved all of the effects and UI elements such as tracking which cards Toffel knew about. Also lmao at the ending.
Was fun to watch! Wish you guys played more than one round tho :)
I asked them to play BO1 because I thought it would have lasted over an hour 😅 if I would have been there, I would have asked for more games
These very specific format ideas are great content, always. Dandân, Judge Tower, Single card decks etc. Keep'em coming!
I love this, seems like a really fun variation to play. Great video as always, thanks!
I really enjoyed this series, I love how you guys make me smile and laugh as we were playing with you.
Thank you guys❤
Love the jank formats. Would be especially excited to see y'all bring more unusual formats to the mainstream.
So happy to see this! In the future, I'd like more collabs with the Yu-Gi-Oh crew where you maybe go over classic stuff like Millstone and how the name "mill" leaked into other games, or things like showing off some of the craziest or most important decks in history - The Deck, Sligh, even stuff like (Manaless!) Dredge or Oops All Spells!
We need more of this, this definitely seems like it will get better the more experienced the players are.
Alternate formats are my absolute favorite thing. Keep the Dandân coming!
Great video! Love watching you have fun with crazy formats. More like this!
Just came across the channel because of the goldfish colabs. Great work guys LOVE the video's !
Love this format! I always take my dandan deck to parties, nothing like tempo attrition after a few drinks haha
Seems like you go to some pretty awesome parties
@@kokioen fr wheres my invite lol
Yay! Been looking forward to this for a while.
Full sprinted to this video as soon as i got the notification
This format hurts my head.
But that flavor text on "Telling time" is win.
Ah the duality of Magic: Toffel knowing everything about the format down to the exact amount of each card in the pile vs Jamin never having played it and just vibing, perfect 😂
Yes!! Was hoping for this! Best mtg channel
Thank you :) that is so kind of you to say
I get the impression that Thoralf studied for this test and Jamin did not lol
The editing is amazing, well done!
GOATED format, great to see it on here
Great content! Love you guys ❤
That was fantastic! I've got to try this out, thanks for introducing me to it guys.
best thumbnail
I really loved watching this and honestly I get the hype now! It’s a pretty cool format!
Mid writing "Don't we share graveyards?" Ok...ok...you got me.
I love that you guys present/play lesser known/established formats. Dandan is hilarious! ^ ^ Consider me subscribed!
Thank you! :) Dandân is indeed so much fun
Why is this channel suddenly the best mtg content on CZcams?
Because they are great
Loved the video, love the channel.
Building Dandan now! Great video!
Glad to see love for Dandan! It's a really wild format
It is :)
Decent video! Thanks for uploading!
That was slick editing with the Visionary Charm
oh this was fun, i look forward to seeing more of this format
Toffel's "give him the wincon" strategy was fishy to me at first but I think actually really smart!
Gg
Lol fishy 🐟
This was such a great video!
Dandan! I've always wanted to see this played, and while it was really different than what I expected this time I'd love to see more of it!
It can get far more interesting an in depth than this video showed, they were heavily dandan flooded and it completely broke how the games interaction usually plays out
I feel like a lot of the comedy in this video comes down to just how funny the name Dandan is. That and the thumbnail!
Best format immediately saw video and went to watch haha
Finally put this together and have been playing it for a couple months. It’s been a blast.
So much fun! This actually looks like a lot of fun
Great shocasing of the format, would have loved it being best of 3 to see more of the unique playstyle this deck can create
I'd love to see more interesting formats like this, often these kinds of decks needs access to weird or niche cards which the average player doesn't have. I loved watching this video, and other interesting formats like Judge's Tower
Not as cool as the judge tower, but i love these wierd magic formats! Would like to see more ^^
I love this format! My friends and I bring it to commander so that people have something to do between pods!
was anyone else surprised to learn that the little asides/interviews are being filmed during the game and not after? Thoralf mentioned what he said in his when he drew Dimishing Returns at 9:00. I figured those would be recorded after the game!
This is great! Love Dandan. Bought a full Dandan deck (mostly on CM 😏) start of the year before it spiked….
Well done! 😎 you knew the format would be a slam dunk
Very much enjoyed this one
Heck yeah! I just got my Dandan list in
Great to see more dandan love. Just put together the list last month with the help of your platform.
Wonderful yo hear! :D
I love watching you play guys
This one was really good! Thumbnail is hilarious
Thank you :)
Amazing! Please more
Does look like a fun variant to play and brush up on Magic strategy fundamentals to boot! ^_^
Just built a Forgetful Fish deck of my own. Would love to see more.
that mountain edit was SICK did not go unnoticed
This is the best video on this channel.
Amazing video :D
Holy shit, what an insane concept. You could easily turn this into it's own genre of card games :o
CardMarket committing to showcase all the greatest ways to play ;)
Interesting format, heard about it and enjoyed watching how it actually plays out. I heard you follow a deck list with a specific curve to work for both players. Either way, awesome.
I was waiting for meme… that was actually interesting!
Very cool thanks 🔥🔥🔥
Just proxy this deck. Can’t wait to try it.
Clicked on this video to watch, but had to like immediately for the ace quality thumbnail
So cool. Nice video ty
I got so inspired that I made my own version using Branded Brawlers (R creature human soldier 2/2 , can't attack if defending player controls an untapped land and can't block if you control an untapped land) As you can imagine it's all about manipulating your and your opponents lands to make favorable attacks/blocks. But there's a twist.... no mountains. You have to rely on treasure tokens to actually put out your BB. Treasure tokens you get either from your opponent being greedy, countering one of your spells or in a way that both have access. Adds the complexity of: if I do this thing it will allow my opponent to create another BB.
If anyone's interested here's my list so far:
[CREATURES]
16 Branded Brawlers
[ARTIFACTS]
5 Bucknard's Everfull Purse
[INSTANTS]
6 An Offer You Can't Refuse
4 Disrupt
2 Early Frost
4 Enervate
2 Remand
6 Mana Short
2 Turnabout
[SORCERIES]
6 Ingenious Mastery
[LANDS]
27 Island
Great format, great video!
Thank you :)
Love this! Just ordered the deck for $50
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:D thanks guys!!!! So excited to watch this.
Fantastic! If you enjoyed this, I recommend type 4. It's an even more fun chaotic multiplayer format.
Recently built a Dandân deck and can say it is 100% super fun.
This is fun, you've earned the engagement
We are grateful for the engagement :) thank you
Looks fun!
So wholesome. Love to see it.
I need more DanDân action!
Really liked the video, I will let you know on several ideas! :)
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions :)
