Magic: the Gathering is one of the most intricate and rewarding gaming experiences there is. Unfortunately, that means it’s also very complicated. Here is a quick primer to get you acquainted with the very, very basics.

Very nice video with some bakugo flair. One mistake though: damage does not decrease toughness. If a creature has at least as much damage as it has toughness it dies. A creature also dies when it has 0 toughness, but damage doesnt die that (except wither and infect)
I miss mana burn…
I’ve never seen Green rarity before. When was this from?
I had an easier time grasping magic than yu GI oh, it isn’t the most complicated one
You should not be saying “this happens… unless it doesn’t”. Just say “this happens”, and at the end say “there are exceptions to these rules. If a card says otherwise, follow the card”
What is this anime
Rest in pieces Giant Growth.
Im a complete noob, green rarity?
As a cheapskate: DID YOU JUST FUCKIN RIPPED THAT CARD IN FKIN HALF
I wish my friends would tear up their cards when i cancel them
Wasn’t about to sub until I heard the ten subscriber commandments
As a Magic judge i have to say you explained the game better than most people do, explaning a little the “logic” behind the game and some of the most common interactions.
And thank you for making clear that Llanowar elves doesnt fetch forest from your deck to the battlefield.
as a yugioh player, i support playing yugioh to choose who goes first
Your content is so amazing, like seriously, its so good
That Smash reference;D
Aw leave ol nicol bolas alone hes only trying his best
I’m a simple man; I hear Hamilton, I like.
Can I get a mat at for this game?
2:52 IT’S GENERIC MANA, *_NOT_* COLORLESS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
So, I know this sounds silly, but that ‘Green Set Expansion’ thing really messed with me. Like, part of me knew that he added that as a joke, but… even though I’ve been playing for years now, I just HAD to make sure. Please God tell me that I’m not the only one…
Green symbols. Wow.
All of the picture references made this video even better with exceptional job that the narrator does explaining the game. “Tap that mana kid, we’re having bear for supper.”
What is green rarity?
your deck should be an average of 40% land my dude
1/3 is only viable if your going hard aggro
As an alternative to spending real money on cards and trying to go find real people to be friends with at your local card shop, you can sign up for untap.in for free and make decks with any and all the cards you want, including the supremely rare alpha print black lotus. The only downsides are intensive lag spikes, random inexplicable server crashes, a questionable difficulty-level community with some trolls and ragers and mega competitive assholes that will bring their Derevi Stax deck to a game specifically marked “casual EDH”, and problems with uploading new cards into their database (which causes no other cards to be able to be searched until you reload the page) and with copy/pasting your decks from separate urls (like tappedout.net) due to there being lots of alternate arts of some cards available, as well as fake cards that can sometimes get swapped with real cards if you don’t check your list carefully enough (the most common fake card I’ve seen people have in their decks as a result of wrong copy/paste is a card called “Arthur Ares”). Also, some people might be annoyed by the uploads of “anime” lands that are just excuses to put extra “production value” (T&A) on magic cards. Frankly though, the site’s totally free, so as long as you have internet access (which you do by default if you’re reading this comment unless you have it as a saved page or you copied my words down elsewhere for some reason) and love to play magic but you’re broke, this is a budget solution. It was created to be a playtester, initially — but the community continues to grow as more and more people see the benefits to playing magic for free without meeting potentially dangerous strangers in person and making life connections.
Dayum, that combat phase turned into one existential debacle.
11/10 completly accurate
Unless your Nicol Bolas, at which point fuck everyone else, you got mummies.
Umm i’m sorry but did you just say that magic is the best card game, bro i wanna see that army of squirrels go up against a 5000 attk utopia the lightning with no effect activation and then see which game is better.
Great and hilarious video… Subbed for the Hamilton cover though.
Now go watch a video on how to lose friends while playing magic, also known as “Modern”.
Please do more mtg related videos
Damage is healed (except when it’s not, see wither).
Please make more videos about Magic. This was fantastic.
Yugioh is more complicated than this….or rather the monsters are.
Can you tap one land card every turn?
I didn’t know Cancel requires your opponent to rip the offending spell in half. Brutal.
Cards are way more expensive at LGS. They’re almost always Privately owned stores that can’t afford to charge less for them. But We usually buy ours from them to be nice cuz yanno, gotta support the place We play at.
Hamilton!!!
Damage doesn’t stick around… unless it DOES. (wither)
have you tried playing yugioh?
“By now you should have around 400 cards and not know where most of them came from.”
That is ridiculously, hilariously accurate.
This was really helpful. I just got my first deck today and I think I got more out of this than the couple of hours my brother and I spent going through rules and doing practice games
Green filled symbols ?? are you trolling ?
I have ADHD but this video had my full attention over 20minutes. Dude filled this bitch with more memes and .jpg I can’t even un-concentrate. Nice vid, tuns of effort went into this
