Not really following the channel, but presentator sounds like one of those toddler shows host. Really love the enthusiasm and clear delivery of the content!

Pauper is really popular in Italy and Spain

The way I started things back in 2013 was Deck Builders's toolkit and Intro pack. Some will say that was a mistake but it gave me the jankiest, barebones core to start using my brain to deckbuild. From there I built my Izzet counterburn style deck and since I got 4 Gary's...mono black devotion. I still play those decks. They went through a dozen iterations each. The way I do things for the last xy years is event decks/challenger decks. I buy 2 of the same kind. That gives me one really good deck and the rest goes into other decks. Or commander. I just started commander. I mean, buying Dragon's Maze "Strength of Selesnya" event deck has yielded Parallel Lives which pays off the deck and then the rest shuffles around. Now that I have a decent number of decks I started the long and painful process of buying SINGLES. Mainly LANDS. When you pick your favourite budget deck start making it non-budget. It is slow and hurts since lands are boring. Why spend 20+ € on a land when you can get 10-15 funky rares for a new deck. That is the mindset you need to get rid of to start making your decks strong. Buy singles.

3:40 As a die hard Burn/RDW player, I 100% agree with this!!! Great deck and easy to learn the basics of, but also takes a lot of skill to truly master, which is a good thing because it gives you room to learn and grow as a player.

[@da_pawz]

Hahahaa this is classic. Makes me rem of the old day... First time I played magic, I tried to play with the white deck because at that time I really like knights, soldiers and angels... But as a newbie it was too hard for me to grasp all the mechanics... in the end my friends told me to take the red cards and just try hard to burn everything lol

[@dustindoing6076]

Always looking for a way to get newbies into the game. This video was a eureka moment for me. Getting folks to spend $200 on a standard deck for a few FNMs only to have it rotate in a couple months is way more investment than having them buy a pioneer precon or playing some casual jumpstart/kitchen table games.

[@chlebo21]

The best product for begginers was welcome decks but they stoped that, and if i have to recommend something for news playera that would be going to your local game store and ask there if they can help you, then when you know basics go for prerealise

[@MaxSpider2000]

my first pre-release was TERRIFYING and I even had experience with hearthstone but making a deck out of random cards and seeing all the savvy drafting veterans doing their thing is pretty intimidating. Not to mention the looks I got when I started playing an UNSLEEVED DECK. Yeah I play double sleeved pioneer decks now but c'mon how was I to know ? lol

[@delphivinn833]

I'm really hoping the local in person constructed market picks back up again. Drafting is great, but I'd like to do something else with all this cardboard I've been hoarding for 20+ years. Good luck on your trek to 20k subs!

[@Weeb-vj3xp]

Jumpstart sounds wacky and I love the sound of that

[@helhal]

Love your enthusiasm Carl. ❤️

[@ilynatto]

I’m coming from yugioh magic cards look so cool I wanna get into it lol

[@ghoolam8693]

Love this energy you have! Thinking of picking up mtg, could there be a more updated starter guide for 2023/24?

[@CardmarketMagic]

I had it on my list of potential video ideas for this year but you just reminded me so I'll bump it to the top :) that a good idea! Thanks

[@Spectralhyena]

Thanks for the info. As someone trying to get back into warhammer and mtg from the 90s and early 00s this was good info to know. I miss those werid blue packs that were called cracked I think? The price of 40k alone has put that on the back burner but I’m definitely getting back into magic, no friends to play with though I’ll have to make those again.

[@CardmarketMagic]

Both of those games are incredibly good! Magic can be cheaper though if you play the right formats! I recommend swinging by your local game store and asking them when they have pioneer, pauper or draft nights :) most pauper decks are under 50€, your game store can probably recommend some fun cheap pre-constructed decks, and you can join a draft with 3 just three booster packs. Playing those game nights are the best way to meet new people who share the hobby :)

[@WardenOfTerra]

MTG is far more expensive than Warhammer lol

[@CardmarketMagic]

@@WardenOfTerra you can easily play MTG for 20-50€. Although I love Warhammer, even with Killteam, it's not possible to hit that price point. Even if you leave your models unpainted.

[@sammin101]

I haven’t had any paper cards in years, and didn’t know cardmarket had a lots section. Idk if I’ll pick up a box of bulk but it could be fun

[@da_pawz]

Same thing... Last time I play magic was maybe in early 2010s and when I look at the market nowadays I am really overwhelmed by lots of choices... I am really confuse lol

[@kumbertjoehl-lee8898]

Sadly where i'm from nobody plays pioneer ever. When i initially returned a couple months ago i bought all the pioneer precons just to find out nobody plays pioneer 😅. Then i just built a modern mono red prowess out of the pioneer precon with buying singles :). And this summer i'll build another modern deck welp ^^.

[@jacktorborg9862]

This is an awesome addition to this channel! Lol also I checked out the AI generated cards video and it was unbelievably hilarious. Thumbs up!

[@tedappleton569]

Not a new player but just seeing if there’s anything that I don’t have

[@yayoefsi]

deck builder's toolkit would be a perfect product for a beginner... ...if they still manufactured it

[@eiregonzo97]

the video I needed. thank you!!

[@CardmarketMagic]

You're so welcome!

[@flaetsbnort]

Weird Al feels more like a Pokémon guy.

[@beardedgamin5205]

Would you recommend buying one of the commander decks as a beginner? If so, which one?

[@veryblocky]

Yes I would, Tolarian Community College has made videos talking about all the pre-cons and I would recommend watching those for some advice.

[@michaelbohnen636]

"Being a Baby is awesome!!!" lmao😂

[@cannardm]

Hey that's a clip from MTG Origionaldecks. Buying singles does make beggining magic so much more fun and cheap. I spent hours scouring the gatherer for cards I like and went from there. Now I'm hopelessly addicted. Thanks Richard!

[@viktar3341]

Do you have some advice for potential returning players? I quit during Kamigawa and I was playing type 1. While I'm currently playing on Arena and having fun, I feel like I will never be able to come back to paper magic, or at least my old bazaars and dual lands are out of question!

[@Aristiddles]

Top tier vid

[@garageink74]

Bulk commons + sleeves + a printer = whatever deck you want to try!

[@adrijahn]

Great Video!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Great comment!

[@doms2k]

Why is there no mention of starter kits?

[@SilverCat75]

i know that mtg has a starter kit is it any good for newbies ?

[@theCityBear]

Noice! Keep it up, peeps

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Grengos]

Very helpful. Abo is out ;*

[@cainefox1697]

2:41 - 2:58 You suggested that people not get into paper standard and in the same breath say wait till it picks up. My brother in god how will it pick up again if no one is getting into it? What horrible advice. Why not just say "Look at what events your local game store holds, and build a beck for that"

[@carterwall8314]

yes f1 drivers know their cars inside and out

[@WardenOfTerra]

Jumpstart is not for beginners lol

[@CardmarketMagic]

It's for everyone :) but mostly aimed at newer players yes
