Day[9] Story Time P1 - Grand Prix San Jose

[@Leap623]

Day9 really needs to put together a standup routine. He's great at bringing nerd culture to people who don't understand it, and his delivery is impeccable.

[@Melkimund]

yes. this. make this happen. soon. SOOOON

[@qwertyexp]

Agreed

[@cardboardmannequin4069]

He did one many years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIamnYSAh8qLiaM

[@Quillcy]

Sean, the number of combinations of Magic decks lies somewhere between 6 and Graham's number.

[@Devurauxe]

10/10, Well played sir xD

[@danatronics9039]

Wolfram Alpha tells me that there are about 106005727764032386639846652224207666746818891455974325364482288837544845945318555210665879250282847605692549088964598559150849598534723321901312183167361548221614916075305261560917297174383719730334936573895147426449160946131164570937657007867657766544092239274496377084800 possible Commander decks (easiest format to calculate because no duplicates)

[@ExiomTV]

@@danatronics9039 you forgot the basic lands/shadowborne apostles, and rats

[@Demigodish4o3]

My favorite story time. I re-listen to it often. :)

[@davidkeener5063]

Man it hurts hearing him talk about Case with such joy and reverence. Rest in peace, Koyuki.

[@avatarfalcon]

Because of your Magic tournament "learning experience" anecdote a week or so ago, when my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday I chose a couple magic starter decks. So this weekend I played a bunch of magic, watched my first M:tG live streams from the Grand Prix, and spent a bunch more money on Magic cards. Then on my actual birthday, Monday, you gave us this gift of Story Time! So... thanks! (I think?)

[@Sliceoffrontpi3]

I still watch this video and come back to it every year or so. :)

[@couchpotatoe91]

Oh man, just watched the whole episode on your website, it was absolutely AWESOME!

[@DrCornelius]

Watching this in 2015 makes me feel Day9 has gotten less juvenile with time, maybe his new job is getting him more tired. He's still funny and awesome as he ever was.

[@Merchantic]

hey fellow 2015 watcher!

[@jaredgunthorpe489]

hai guys. 2015 what up

[@harvest4396]

watching in 2016 oh snap

[@travis_approved]

2017 boys

[@ironmarkus]

2018 get on my level

[@bpresslor]

This was so helpful, thank you! I actually have the Return to Ravnica Fat Pack and Dragon's Maze Fat Pack sitting in my shopping cart right now, but I was confused as to which to buy first (I can only budget for 1 this paycheck). Thanks for breaking everything down for me!

[@boatmanj4]

Greatest storyteller of our age.

[@TheVanillatech]

Day[ *9* ] ... you are and always will be, a legend.

[@egeiger08]

In a stunning bit of irony: I am an avid Magic player and have been involved in the game for more than 10 years. I never play Starcraft2, but I watch your channel anyway. THIS EPISODE WAS AWESOME.

[@zacharyleszcynski1993]

CnC... Thats a blast.My dad was actually #3 in the world in the original. As he described, the top 3 would fight to a stale mate for hours.

[@MONOBLACKMAGIC]

Monday Magic!! Keep em coming boay!

[@TheMrCue]

wish u did more magic stuff cause u seem to get it so well and its a fun thing to listen to

[@drozdovblog]

Almost precisely 9 years ago. I feel old. I don't really care about MTG. But I can listen to this guy reading a telephone book and still be entertained.

[@Saibrock]

A new set is released every 3 months, in blocks of three related sets and a core set between each block. The current block is the Return to Ravnica block.

[@Meatballxl]

Why is it that everytime day9 comes up with something epic it always rhymes.. DAYNINE STORYTIME. he really needs to write a book

[@MeccaHz]

I really enjoyed all three parts of this this is so awesome

[@utesby6]

Day 9 story time is my favorite =) need more of these =)

I love your stories, Day9! Awesome.

[@PrimordialEconomics]

Dude I want to live to see the day you accomplish that visceral description of a major tournament win.

[@alexanderandersson6024]

I saw the Grand Prix live, and all of a sudden a wild Day[9] appeared :O It was awesome!

[@hi00118]

This was the story time that inspired me and my friend to go to GP Milwaukee this past weekend. 2-4 drop but first GP experience and it was still a ton of fon

[@hi00118]

Fun lmao

[@ShadoWStepBG]

The most important things to understand : 1) Each year 4 sets come out : 3 in a block and 1 core set in between. Example: the current block is called "Return to Ravnica", the sets that came out are: - Return to Ravnica ( October 2012) - Gatecrash ( Feb 2013) - Dragon's Maze ( May 13th 2013 , NOW) The next set will be the core set of 2014 ( next year, although release in 2013) and then OCtober 2013, new block starts. Understood it so far? :)

[@gemore]

Love when you talk about MTG and love story videos

[@Slagomancer]

I find my love of magic re-kindled by you, sir Day J.

[@CAEKCHANNEL]

I could listen to Day9 storytime all day

[@2qwe]

I LOVE YOUR IT CROWD REFERENCE! I LOVE YOU BANE[9]

[@Jabadamazo]

There's SCG Opens in LA about twice or 3 times a year. You should hit those up.

[@SimonSaysGFYS]

Depending on what block you are playing, you also have the option of Colorless. This could be called a 6th color for some. This makes it easier to split up that 5th color between 2 people if they add more colorless cards to their deck.

[@Nesious]

Story Time, with Day9, I love it. Half the time the stories are better then the gameplay itself.

[@KumaKaori]

10:25 Fist of decisiveness and screen shake XD;. The cam jump lets you know it was /extra decisive/. 15:25. SJ in October? unless it was 6 am it wasn't the cold :P.

[@Franciscoarchaea]

I must admit I never liked your starcraft shows but for some reason, I ended up in this video and because I discovered you play Magic: the Gathering, I'll subscribe. ;o

[@attila-laszloillyes7754]

enjoyed it very much, soo much that I'm probably gona try out Magic!

[@ExecutorCR]

@1:15 I just can't... I lost it every single time!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@manicka111]

The genius, the scholar and the storyteller

[@bpresslor]

I'm getting ready to start playing, but am kinda unsure of what to buy first. It's kind of intimidating.

[@GamsuSWE]

STORY TIME ! best start of the day ever!

[@TheGameTechnician]

holy shit MTG you had better thank day9 for this! Like seriously I bet he just gained them quite a few fans.

[@deth2munkies]

Entry fee for a GP is $30 for constructed (you bring your own cards) and $40 for limited (this one, where they give you cards that you keep). It's a team of 3 so 3x$40 = $120

[@ddrjustin]

On the Legend of the Five Rings forums, we often have a thread at the start of a tournament season where people try to predict which of the in-game clans will win the most tournaments. In this thread, we have to tell people that Case does not count as a clan, because, invariably, he will outperform the entire player-base of some of the clans.

[@modestiny85]

I always find best thing to do before a magic tournament is study study study, every card, every card interaction. Play the format many times as you can.

[@chickenkid11]

Someone please tell me what other daily he does the bane impression/deckard cane in

[@CarterBartram]

His description of entering the Magic tournament was a lot like what I experienced entering my first nationals.

[@TheMrCue]

turn them side ways they are now tapped(used for the turn) they shift back upright at the beginning of ur next turn

[@FrostBergs]

For those wondering, in the limited format the deck size minimum is 40 cards. Constructed is where the minimum deck size is 60.

[@CrimsonModify]

This was my Introduction to MTG. Im very glad.

[@davidthemens847]

Is it weird that I'm distracted by the existence of the Edward Tufte graph in the background? lol

[@sinoc229]

As somebody named Tristan, this video makes me happy.

[@Franciscoarchaea]

You have a TV similar to mine in the room too, I'll like this video too.

[@Nalle3]

Oh... my... god that Bane imitation was spot on

[@xXStampsXx]

"The Genius, The scholar, The liability" Oh no my fateful day(9) you are not the liability you are the underdog, the hero of common beginning, the male protagonist of your anime, the chosen one, the no holds bar seeker of glory riches and a better world. YOU ARE DAY(9) ...... maybe that was a bit much

[@Omega068]

I have a feeling Day could be explaining how to make a grilled cheese sandwich and I'd still totally be interested.

[@mrsmileperson]

That mug is epic.

[@iMsoStarrStrukk]

OMG A PURELY STORY TIME DAILY!!! Totaly makes up for the fact its monday....

[@kernowerrant961]

Have they changed the rules again, where you have to have 2 mana types.

[@MrOfadyingrace]

well yes it does, but I haven't watched day[9] long enough to notice it, can you link me the video?

[@HuskyVerbatim]

Ahh, this brings me back to my old MTG days. I remember once, I was playing against a friend, and in one turn I dealt 3000 damage to him and gained 3000 life. It was glorious.

[@gekkosenshifury]

LOLL just laughed out loud at the kids turning around on their desk impression

[@KatInkura]

When Sean talks into the mug he sounds like Jesse Cox's impersonation of Deckard Cain. The resemblance is uncanny!

[@MrSuednym]

What about limited constructed? (i.e. Block constructed...)

[@Demonriceball]

What's Bane[9]'s favorite unit? The baneling of course!

[@nataku7]

can you watch the stream of this anywhere?

[@andreiiorga8277]

You should make a Magic Thursday or a Story Thursday! Totally :D:D:D

[@freezewindow1]

also it's not that easy to come up with something interesting that is not just a limitation of what you can do but a little push in another direction to explore new playstyles every week.

[@tardisrocks]

"Tristan towers over me" I remember NASL S3 Final, Day9 was the tallest person in the room (I might have just felt small beside him), Tristan must be massive

[@K1LLSW1TCH4]

Not sure if Bane or Decard Cain...

[@statusZERO100]

Excessively doing it will wear his joint faster since cracking his fingers/neck involve an abnormal move of the joint. There is many causes to arthrosis and cracking joint won't necessarely cause one to develop arthrosis immediatly but can significantly increase the chance of developping it at a younger age! Cell division isn't unlimited, the more you wear a joint the older it gets! Trust me dude, I'm studying kinesiology at university and I've seen this concept!

[@nathanwidener9006]

Zap 'em and deal three damage. LIGHTNING STRIKE!

[@DaKommizzar]

More like LIGHTNING BOLT

[@TheTruesonicfan3602]

Da Kommizzar I FUCKING HATE THAT CARD

[@MultiWololo]

Storytime is the best time.

[@orllyfools]

wheres day9 from? san jose is where im from and if hes a bay area native im bound to run into him.

[@BarrageHero]

I didn't know Day[9] played C&C! That was my childhood right there.

[@Sandalphonium]

I just like hearing about Tristan.

[@darkmanddk]

Dude that whole vomitting on MVP was spectacular thank you so so so much :D

[@sethhh7]

Storytime is awesome.

[@ShadoWStepBG]

2) Formats. There are many formats to play the game, but as long as you understood how the development cycle of blocks comes out, u will have no problem understanding the formats :) Just google it. 3)What you need to buy AS FIRST item is a "fat pack". Usually they cost around 40$. The reason u want them, is because they have 80 land cards. Without land, the most basic, u can't cast spells, no matter if u have 1000$ worth of cards.

[@Jobato]

wheres part 2?!?! D:

[@ArcherTG]

I could watch a whole daily of Bane9

[@mattedmuskets]

@day9tv the saying is "chock-full" :)

[@SamwellJamesMusic]

YES! more of these!

[@OtisJCW]

The Bane[9] daily show should be a thing where he casts a game in the bane voice :)

[@gyorficserka]

wow man, this is soo much fun

[@Mr2Azn4You]

YOU WERE IN SAN JOSE? WHAAA??? I would have visited!!

[@xakannax]

What happened to funday monday???

[@sc2nut]

Do they assign land differently? Cuz I normally only get one land per pack, 2 if i'm lucky

[@tuggummimaskin]

Oh magaawd that bane voice was nice!

[@CardsAndComputer]

Seeing this makes me happy that I chose to put both MtG and computer games on my channel.

[@StatementofInquiryband]

I love your stories, Day9, but honestly, I think your Funday Monday is the most popular portion of your dailies, I'd rather see you cut a Newbie Tuesday to do your story time than cutting Funday Monday 2 weeks in a row!

[@sontaxx]

It's ok, we all make mistakes sometimes. Don't feel bad!

[@TyoiStarcraft]

Why is there no funday monday :(

[@IndigoBream]

Whattttttttttttttt. I didn't know that there was a tournament here in SJ last weekend D: Whatttttttttttttttt.

[@akashje]

so if you cast your spell than your land cards are gone ?

[@TheGImp1214]

Most men when they want to get amped up, they listen to high intensity music. But me, I listen to books. Like a sir.

[@RikuGM]

god damn it day9 your making me buy this game.

[@A13xozbrn]

Buy the Deck builders toolkit - you get 100 different lands in there and 185 spells and some booster packs, this gets you alot of land.

[@thedudeyeah]

Why is this video loading really slow? Can barely watch on 360p :(

[@Karclan]

The problem is though, there is a finite amount of topics he can do for funday monday so he needs to take breaks to keep it some what fresh and interesting

[@Konoakirasan]

Loved the "IT Crowd" reference :)

[@N0_n4m3.doodles]

Love Day 9, Love that Day9 loves Magic the Gathering!
