@@nilejoanrivers do me a favor and if you cover group hug decks also cover their lesser known counterpart in group slug decks. I can explain what makes group slug decks the strange archetype that they are which is distinct from stax, prison, chaos, and burn despite sharing elements if needed.

It's worth mentioning that not all rummaging effects require you to be able to discard a card. For instance, the card you used as an example, Faithless Salvaging says "Discard a card, then draw a card". There's no "If you do", so if you cast it with an empty hand, you still get to draw a card! This is different than a card like "Thrill of Possibility", which requires you to discard a card to even cast it (which means if it gets counterspelled, then you still lost the card you discarded). Rummaging effects and impulse drawing usually tend to be a little finicky, they'll frequently have quirks that changes how they specifically work. Mana rocks might have been a good one to bring up, just a general term referring to artifacts that produce mana. Overall, great video tho!

Such a neat video. I've been playing for a few years now and had to pick those terms up slowly over this time. I'd second the other proposals here for future videos, such as about common creature nicknames, etc.

I've been watching and playing Magic for over a decade now, so while I wasn't expecting to learn anything new, I think you do a great job explaining some of the more common terms we take for granted in the community. I especially appreciate that you show the older cards that the terms originate from where applicable. I'll be recommending this video to any of my friends interested in getting into MtG.

5:30 I've seen people refer to exile and immediate return as blinking and exile and return at end of turn as flickering just to be specific but still mostly used interchangeably.

ive heard mostly of them used as the reverse, flickering being the fast one and blinking being the slower one but thats probably just an area thing

@@OmegaMTG there's no clear answer since even Wizards can't be consistent. Flicker, the first card to do it, returns it immediately, but Flickerwisp and Flicker Form do so at end step.

@dave-kt7sjАй бұрын
The name of the card comes from the term "bounce" not the inverse. Unsummon is the original bounce spell from alpha and likely where the name came from. As for why "bounce" in particular, it makes about as much sense as the other keywords.

I love this magic "slang". Many of the terms are so intuitive and you pick them up very quickly if you play with experienced players a lot and it just makes talking about playing so much more convenient. I play a four color omnath flicker deck a lot and when I read the cards to my opponents i always replace the very wordy oracle text by "flicker" or "flicker until...". I cant be bothered to read all that everytime! And i especially love, that wizards picks up those slang words from time to time and make them official, kinda wish they would do that even more often (pls make flicker a thing!) but i understand that it makes the game even harder to pick up. Its a delicate balance
@dave-kt7sjАй бұрын
"Flicker" is also called "blink", so it might not happen.
@doim1676Ай бұрын
@@dave-kt7sj blink would be fine as well. Just any one word to replace "exile ... then return it to the battlefield under its owners control" thats so long! And in a good flicker deck thats 70% of the cards you have to read to your opponents during the game xD

There's an old term for creatures with ETB effects: 187 creatures. Why? 187 is/was the LA police code for murder, and in the first set that had ETB creatures, the best one of them by a wide margin was Nekrataal (Terror ETB).
