This matchup has quickly become a classic on my channel, and yet it's been around since nearly the very first video. It's two notoriously fast, somewhat interactive combo decks that play Chicken against one another. Needless to say, it's the MtG-equivalent of a shonen anime fight and I love it. I love this matchup!
