Magic: The Gathering - Intro game Red Vs Green

[@jflaoeal]

10yr later and this does a better job at teaching the game then 99.9% of most magic content out there. And still made it fun to watch

[@octarianmenace]

Yes

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

I wish they didn't stop the videos, sadly the content that gets views are absolute garbage and I block them all out. ( cha n nel blo ck er extension, highly recommend it )

Guys I enjoyed watching the match and as a beginner appreciated you calling the steps. I learned from this thanks!

[@TabletopGameShop]

You're very welcome!

[@MontaguStudios]

Same. Other MTG tutorial videos tend to be very wordy, draggy and cocky. This one I enjoy the most - straightforward and easy to follow. So sad this channel has somewhat died. Wish they'd come back

Thanks!

[@StegaSteve]

Exactly what I've been looking for. So many gameplay vids or streams are so fast paced. This really helps you nail down the basics. Thanks!

[@TabletopGameShop]

You're welcome Steven! We mostly play for fun, and teach a LOT of new players, so we keep it friendly and simple. Really glad it helped!

[@ziljin]

Finally after searching so long a match of just regular beginner decks. Lots of videos of the starter decks but rarely see anyone actually using them to play.

[@PanteraRockstar90]

Thank you for this. I’ve been wanting to get into mtg and this video made understanding the gameplay so much simpler than most of the boring instructional videos I have watched. Mainly because you guys explained each play as it unfolded!

[@JohnwithSword]

I know this is old, but as a beginner player, I really enjoyed and learned a lot. Thank you for calling your moves as you play. That seems like great player etiquette to help everyone understand what everyone is doing throughout the game. ⚔️

[@emptiness2538]

I used to play Magic more than 20 years ago and only in the last month i started again with my wife... such a beautiful game !!! And your gameplay was so smooth, also with the accent made everything more EPIC !!!

[@goromba1702]

I love the small channels that have amazing content

[@MiddleEarthTenkara]

This is the best game tutorial on KZbin. Thanks guys!

[@CloudlessEchoes]

Wow I wish you had more of these! Good basic gameplay with explanation, showing the cards, and some fun banter on top of it! From a beginner, thanks!

[@jef_hel]

Just basic gameplay with funny guys. Not a too-fast-paced tournament match with overpowered decks filled with the same cards. You helped me and my nine-year-old gets the basics. Thanks!

[@KresimiDuderija]

Played this game when I was 13 (now 31) and stumbled on this video, pure nostalgia 🙂

[@neilallan9204]

Just found this video - thanx for putting g a mighty big smile on my face guys 😁

[@juliusc8855]

This is exactly what I was looking for to help me move from online play to tabletop with friends, thank you so much!

[@TheTurtle1100]

lol that cools man. im trying to get into magic the gathering and watching you guys being totally friendly with each other was dope

[@TabletopGameShop]

It's all an act! Just kidding :) If you're not having fun, I think you're doing it wrong!

[@kaiju6396]

I'm new to the game so I've been watching some duels on KZbin to learn. I think this is my favorite match so far just because of the pacing which makes it easier to learn but also the hilarious banter.

[@donkzo1899]

hows the magic going so far

[@dhart33]

This was so fun! Thanks for the play by play and flashing up the cards. Makes it so much easier to learn and follow!

[@Narsuitus]

Thanks for the video. I have not seen a Magic game since last century. My gosh, the game has changed.

[@NickIsBlasted]

Great vid, a lot of vids are really informative but I wanted an informative vid that used an example game, just so I could get a feel for how Magic is played, thank you sm ❤️

[@drjawesome8278]

This was an awesome video! I already know plenty about Magic, but I don't have anyone to play with anymore. This duel was a lot easier to follow than this one tournament video I watched. I would LOVE for you to make more of these! Not just to teach beginners, but to entertain us!☀️🌲💧🔥💀

[@blixasice]

Around 1:50 you put down a create and tapped your 2 land cards. I thought you only had to tap the mana if you use the create to attack? You didn't on that turn. Sorry I am just learning to play this game. thanks

[@beku259]

Can you put an echant on the other player's creature? Cause I got this card that gives a -2/-2 on a target creature but it sounds pretty stupid to put on your own creature :|

[@zucchini_flowers]

Target creature = Any creature

[@zammeya3613]

Yes you can you can even put a +1/+1 enchant or higher on an enemy if you really wanted to

[@efraimjan1076]

How can you sacrifice something when its already destroyed? @ 9:51

Liam Gajewski He wasn't destroyed yet I don't think

[@kyriakosch]

The red guy declared that he will use shock but the green guy can activate the creatures ability before shock lands thus healing himself for 4 (since its gonna die anyway)

Aren’t creatures supposed to enter tapped or have I been playing wrong this entire time (great content btw) 7:07

11:03 I think its doesnt work attacking creature to creature (If he doesnt have some creature spell), opponent only attacking to opponent And then he choose blockers.

[@thurstarca4995]

What was the last card that Jonathan slammed down the moment Richard attacked directly at him for the winning blow?

[@labeletal8866]

At 5:06 I didn't understand how this card works. So you looking cards from library from the top, when you reach 3 land cards, do you shuffle the other cards?

[@crock_gfx8644]

You search for 3 lands then shuffle your deck

[@AFlyingMayMay]

Josue Chavez still need help?

[@PikachuRevolutionMC]

Step 1: Attacker announces attacks Step 2: Defender announces blocks (or doesn't) Step 3: Post combat spell phase (so you can cast instants or things with flash for combat tricks) Step 4: Damage Resolves Step 5: Second mainphase (basically another turn to cast things) Step 6: Endstep (you end your turn its called endstep cuz it sounds fancy)

[@levigrafton6854]

ReviloVonBoliver lol “because it sounds fancy”

[@TabletopGameShop]

I'm simplifying here so I'm missing some of the more unusual rules out. These are some of the common misunderstandings I see when I'm teaching a new player how to play Magic... - You can only attack your opponent (not his creatures). - Your opponent decides whether to block or not, his creatures can block together, effectively ganging up on your attacker/s. - After you say who is attacking you both get a chance to cast instant spells. - Attacking creatures are tapped, which means if they survive combat they won't be able to defend you next turn. They're off getting up in your opponent's face! - After your opponent says who is blocking you both get a chance to cast instant spells. (If an attacker is blocked, and you kill the blocker with a spell before the fight itself, your guy is still classed as blocked and won't get his damage through to the player) - Any creature not blocked does damage to the target player. - Any attackers that were blocked have a fight with their blocker - they both deal damage equal to their strength to each other. If the total damage was more than their toughness, they die! There's a bunch of times you have to add extra rules in, but if you're just learning I hope that helps :)

[@assaulttoad]

Josue Chavez It’s the easiest thing to learn in magic so shouldn’t take long to learn

[@TorysSideQuests]
