This is helpful. I have had a Game Night box for a while and haven’t played because I was sooo confused. The tutorial I have watched were not as straightforward. Thanks. You are more gooder than most at this.

[@MTG_Therapy]

Awesome! I’m glad that it helps! 🙌🏽 I had the same experience so I tried making it as clear as I could! 👌🏽

If I sit down and see anyone tap their cards counter clockwise I'll know they watched this video.

Hi, excellent vídeo. I have a question, every time you want to actívate a spell or artífic you have to re pay mana?

[@MTG_Therapy]

Thank you! 🙏🏽 Not always, for permanents, you pay the cost to play the card (casting). That card remains on the battlefield until removed somehow (destroyed, exiled, etc). The ability of the card (within text box) will say if you have to pay to use ability (it will show mana next to ability) or if it’s a tappable ability (it will show the little tap symbol) or both (you pay mana AND tap). Some permanents have other abilities that don’t have additional costs like ETB (enter the battlefield) or Aura effects (continues effect while on battlefield). Hopefully that clarifies it some! Let me know if you have any other questions 🙌🏽

[@geekdelmetal]

[@MTG_Therapy]

[@MTG_Therapy]

I’m the same I would say 99% of the time! Depends on the deck and if I pull a sol ring or not tho. Or there’ve been a handful of times I have a crazy starting hand and I just pray that I top deck some mana lol

[@carsovereverything7688]

[@MTG_Therapy]
