My favorite version of the Chaos Confetti story is that the Judge immediately disqualified the player for having 59 cards in his deck.

My FLGS once did a "Proxy Anything, No Banlist" tournament.

Every one after was "Proxy anything, No Shahrazad" tournament.

Wiki: “Sometimes a character in Scheherazade's tale will begin telling other characters a story of their own, and that story may have another one told within it” - the concept of multiple layers of subgames is in itself based on One Thousand and One Nights

Probably one of the sickest Magic moments ever caught on camera was a prerelease event by LoadingReadyRun with the release of Unstable, on of the joke sets.

One of the guest players, Wedge, played a card called "Spike, Tournament Grinder", which let him get a card from outside the game that's at some point been banned or restricted in a format. He proceeds to ask for the copy of Shahrazad that LRR happen to have in their studio as decoration. He then uses the card "Better Than One", which lets him choose a person outside the game to become his teammate, split up his cards however he wishes, and then plays Shahrazad to make a 2v1 subgame of Magic. They barely have enough cards to win the subgame before decking out, and eventually win the match.

26:05 They totally printed a card exactly like this again - Enter the Dungeon from Unhinged. I tell you, I went to an Unhinged prerelease and it was crazy, people having to crawl under tables all over the place. "Enter the Dungeon BB Sorcery. Players play a Magic subgame under the table, starting at 5 life and using their libraries as their decks. The winner searches their library for two cards, puts those cards into their hand, then shuffles." One of the rulings on the card states "If Enter the Dungeon is cast during a subgame, a sub-subgame begins, preferably under a new, smaller table, but do what you can."

I love it when people completely unaware of Shaharazad finally see it, it’s like someone walking into a lecture on quantum physics when their major is Accounting

Shahrazad is not only one of the craziest cards ever, it's also one of the biggest flavor wins ever.

I've heard the creator of Magic said his favorite deck, back before cards were limited to 4 of, was 60 plains and 40 Shahrazad.  Since most people had far fewer cards in their deck, they would eventually reach a level where they had fewer than 7 cards in their deck and lost drawing their opening hand.  He also admits that, to his knowledge, nobody ever completed a game using this deck.

Was not expecting a whole animation for the last 3 minutes of the video goddam

Reasons I know the Chaos Confetti story to be an Urban Legend:

1. Every schoolyard tale from this era fits a similar mold and almost none are true. It's why Snopes was a big hit in the early days of the post-dial up, intro to cable modems era.
2. No one has ever been named as the player who did it, the player had it done to them or as a judge or organizer. Magic was a small world, especially then. As for today, the tale has lived long enough that someone would've tried to clout-chase for it if they could.

Most importantly...

3. I started playing in a Brooklyn Middle School in 1994-95 with the set: Revised. At my local game store, the story was already circulating, even then a year into the game's existence. Every version I ever heard when I was just an evil little boy attributed it to have taken place at the fabled "New York Magic"--Which locals would know as the biggest game store in the city, the famed "Neutral Ground." This store opened in 1995 (So it must've happened rather quickly) and The Pro Tour would hold events there starting in 1996. By then the story was already well, well known yet again, no one named on the scene. I was be a regular at NG until the early 2000s. The clientele was very, very loyal and everybody knew everybody. We even told the story in the shop a few times but no one could name the players, the date, the tournament or even game night such an event would have transpired.

In short, if it had happened in NY in the early days of Magic I probably would have known someone involved or, at the least, known their name. This narrows down where it could have taken place if we remove kitchen and lunchroom magic out the equation. It didn't happen at GenCon '94, home of the first World Championship. That event was recorded as well as anything pre-internet. We know it cannot be Dragoncon, since the handout Nalathni Dragon was the talk of the CCG world and the Orb-story would've been easily pinpointed at an event that had a ton of print before and after. So where COULD such a game have taken place, in the limited amount of time possible? Answer: It didn't. Someone, probably a few people simultaneously in fact, saw Chaos Orb and thought "Wouldn't it be funny if--" and the jibber jabber survived to this day.

Funny interaction with Sharazad : when you play a sub-game of magic, technically the original Sharazad is on the stack of the main game, but it is not in the same game. So... if a card would allow you to "get a card from outside the game"... (link for example, Ring of Ma Ruf) Yes, you can grab the original Sharazad and play it inside its own subgame. And with a few other cards to shuffle the ring in the deck before playing Sharazad, you can have infinite subgames of magic one into another.

My Dijinn combo from back in the day was to play it on turn 2 with dark ritual and then win.

Rarran: "This card can pick any silver bullet card from outside the game, which was usually handled via a small prepared additional deck? That's just like Zephrus!"
ETC Band Manager: "..."

As I recall the theoretical play pattern that ensured Shahrazad had to be banned was the idea of winning game one of a match then siding in four of them to just stall for time and win the match 1-0.

Fun fact about City in a Bottle: when printing the Arabian Nights expansion, they added a basic mountain to fill out the print sheet. An Arabian Nights Mountain is the only basic land in the set. City in a Bottle's effect was such that (at the  time, not sure if it's still the case) if your deck had Mountains with the Arabian Nights symbol, you couldn't play them! It caused a lot of anger and frustration in games at my LGS.

Min 11:00 The "Little Danny" story is pure gold and was told with Such Emotion 😂😂😂

Your videos with CGB are possibly the most enjoyable pieces of content out there!
If my Magic player heart can make a wish, it would be for more content of you two together!

Shahrazad is one of the most on flavor cards in MTG history. Shaharazad is a reference to the character Scheherazade from the Book ONE Thousand and One Arabian Nights. She is a woman who offered herself up to a king who has been marrying virgins and killing them after sleeping with them. On their wedding night, she starts to tell the king a story but cleverly does not finish it. The kind keeps her alive so he can hear the end of the story. After she finishes the one story, she transitions to another sorty, again not finishing the story so she can survive another day. She repeats this process for 1001 nights. The king finally decides not to kill her, and they live on together.
The stories she tells include famous Arabic folk tales like Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor, and Ali Baba.
The card delays players with other games, just like how Scheherazade delayed he demise with new stories.

24:50 The REALLY crazy thing, is that in the subgame, you can use that Ring and similar effects to grab stuff from the higher games. If you play cards right, you can go into an infinitely deep subgame-ception.

24:20 i dont know about a 4 player game, but Loading Ready Run had Shahrazad cast in their Unstable Pre-Release when there were 3 players because anorher person had been added to the game from the effect of Better Than One.

That person also happened to be Mark Rosewater.
