if all the creatures attacked. he would be at 2 life. not beiong able to cast char (as it would kill him), but since his next card was lightning helix, he gains 3 life putting him at 5 then cast char.
@Jammy192 Basically Craig Jones used Char to deal 4 damage to Olivier after he attacked with his creatures. This dealt 2 damage to himself as well, and then with creature damage he went down to 1 health. Craig had to topdeck a burn spell for 3 damage or more in order to win, and he got Lightning Helix. Lightning Helix does 3 damage to any creature or player and then heals you for 3 life. It' arguably the best instant cast card ever made in Magic history.
He was at 6, his opponent at 7. Opponent attacks for 3 damage, bringing him to 3 life. He plays char (instant, 4 damage to any target, 2 damage to self), bringing opponent to 3 and himself down to 1 at the end of opponent's turn. He reveals the top card of his deck, which is lightning helix (instant, 3 damage to any target, gain 3 life), which he casts to finish off his opponent. It was complete luck.
idk if u play. so their life is 7/6 from their craig goes down to 3 life but plays to spells, 1 deals 3 damage to oliver the next he draws a card and deals 4 dame to oliver. 7 damage 7 life :)
What makes magic nerdy is the sheer depth of understanding and analysis involved. I've just started playing magic online and the number of new cards and new effects I've encountered in two or three days is simply astounding. God knows what was happening in this video, I certainly don't. It made me laugh though.

hahaha my friend used to get girls, was homecoming king and had a lot going for him. then he started playing magic all the time and he hasnt got laid in years, gained about 30 lbs, and became a creeper. WARNING: learn a cool hobby like music or sports if you dont want to a chronic masturbator/magic player!!!
According to stereotypes, Magic is EXTREMELY nerdy.
But I gave you a thumbs up cuz i agree it is awesome haha.
Then again, keeping stats on your favorite sports team or players is nerdy too if you think about it. Hence the word "stats" which is short for statistics, which is a form of mathematics. So if you like to compare to players/teams, you are doing math technically. Which is more nerdy than a card game IMO. But I don't watch sports anyways so it doesn't really matter to me :P
@ExpressBrett yeah lol that's what I love. People can talk shit all they want to these guys. They're laughing all the way to the bank. Same goes to Yugioh. Although those guys make less money, the money they make is still nothing to scoff about. Besides, they're both fun games to play, at the end of the day, you play it for fun. Or that's how I see it.
@ExpressBrett NO THEY CANT, you deluded moron, lets take a look at the event in question, these 'nerds' in question, Craig Jones & Olivier Ruel and the tourny in question PT Honolulu 2006.
Rael, the frechman came 4th making a tidy 14K, his opponent Craig Jones made 22k coming second to Mark Herberholz who won the comp landing him 40K.
Now these figures are nowhere near your falsified claim, although total prize money for such tourneys are around the 230K mark, & subject to tax and change.
@HTDtrilogy I'm with you on that. I mean if games where you had to think were nerdy, then we can call just about anyone a nerd. Football players who set up plays, our military generals who protect us by using tactical strikes and setting up blockades, and even our future leaders I guess are all nerdy.
Dumb people really need to get a life, instead of wasting their time beating down others who have found their calling or just something that they enjoy.

that lightning helix made him five-figure money. that's like winning $16k on a lottery ticket. how would you react?
