Proof that 1.646% is not impossible.

@PattyManatty .4% rather

@tjman543 (1/3)^5 = 1/243, which is 0.004xxxxxxxx which is 4.something% not 1.646

Chapin used the Nazi look to intimidate the other opponents....

@Makotousaki Search "2011 Worlds Deck Tech: Sins of the Past with Simon Bertiou", Its honestly pretty cheap and you can substitute the shock lands for basic lands and have fun with it in casual.

@Makotousaki Its a kind of a Storm deck. The idea is to play a lot of ritual spells, which will make you gain a lot of mana and build your storm count, so you can then finish your opponent by some powerful storm finisher card as Mind Desire, Ignite Memories, Grapeshot or Empty the Warrens.

What is this nassif's deck called? I kind of want to make something similar for a casual deck.

The odds of Nassif making it out alive are 32/243 (the odds that he never hits Ignite Memories) - 10/243 (The odds that he hits 4 grapeshots and one non-Memories in any order) = 22/243, or a 9.0535% chance

Massive props I think go to Chapin, for taking a completely horrific bad beat to bad luck and laughing it off like the bigger man. Had to suck but he smiled and extended the hand anyway. Because that's what you do. If you want to play a strategy game where luck isn't a factor, go play Chess. ;)
