Budget Battle! Strixhaven Precon Upgrades | Extra Turns 12 | Magic: The Gathering EDH Gameplay

[@epiclegion7557]

I’m a Yu-Gi-Oh player and honestly have no clue the rules of magic but something about watching people play this game is so satisfying.

[@manhattanblockade8544]

I stopped playing when Links became a thing because they made my deck overnight unplayable. Switched over to Magic and even with the master rule revision I havent looked back. You should make the leap if you've been on the fence

This is by far one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time. Every deck got to go off to show what the deck is about. Normally we see one deck do nothing and it greatly hinders the episode.

@@metalmarlett1418 No, I think they triggered it correctly - when anyone attack player, that has a most life, other than Jordan, its trigger. So i.e. if Jordan has 38 life, and everyone else has 34, if Jordan attack all others opponents - its trigger three times. If anyone else attack everyone it trigger two times, because 34 is most life of Non-Jordan opponents. Etc.

[@yanjia1777]
