The Best Online Resources for MTG Players | Websites Magic Players Should Use

[@senorsmelly1391]

I get all my copies of Grave Titan from TCG. It is a black staple after all.

[@davestier6247]

All jokes aside, my first foray back into magic after playing revised era was an M11 draft and I cracked a foil grave titan. Won the draft and will forever love that card. It's in my Scarab God deck right now.

Great tip!

[@P4RZ_1V4L]

Started playing magic around 4 months ago, already building my 3rd deck and planning my 4th and this is without a doubt my favorite MTG channel. Congrats on the great content, keep it up :D

[@tcgdude]

A solid EDH Channel for sure.

[@NitpickingNerds]

So glad to hear it!! Good luck!!

[@xsuperbmentality]

Welcome to being poor because of magic the gathering

[@rings-cn1yn]

To shoutout some other channels I like: -*EDH Deckbuilding* highlights lesser known cards and lesser known commanders. The Canadian guy who runs it, Demo, has a "Brewing with Underwhelming Commanders" series that's I really enjoy, the first commander deck I spent more than $100 was based on one of his ideas. He shows off interesting cards that don't see a lot of play. He's sort of an anti-netdeck resource, always going against the grain and emphasizing originality and self-expression. -In terms of tiny channels, *Cure for the Common Game* is nice. Each video only gets a few hundred views but they keep coming out on the regular. The guy who runs it has a huge collection and is always showing off finished decks, going through them one card at a time as he explains how to pilot it and why he included what he did. It's very chill.

[@nerd_entangled]

That's such a gem of a channel!

[@ThorMan91587]

Also shout out to Demo on EdhDeckbuilding. He's worth checking out. The Baron and Aristocards used to be better and more frequent, but he's got some good stuff too

[@NitpickingNerds]

Both solid channels!

[@FozzyFUCT]

Demo is a god send! Love all the obscure old cards he recommends.

[@tcgdude]

Good Morning Nerds. Thanks for consistently pumping out MTG content. Cheers to the year of Magic to come in 2022!!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Appreciate it, thanks!

[@igorlemes1123]

that was really nice giving a shoutout to all the other channels! I'll give my personal to EDH Deckbuilding channel. That guy comes up with tons of unexpected tech, pretty good content if you're into lists and hidden gems :) that, IHYD and the NN are my favorite content for edh on youtube, thanks for all the great tips this year bois

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thanks for watching and being a fan! 😊

[@dilbert719]

In addition to a number of the channels you mentioned in the video (trying not to repeat those), a few others I love: Rhystic Studies, DiceTry, MTGRemy, LRRMTG's Crack-a-Pack series, The Commander's Quarters, Magic Historian, and Nizzahon. I know I'm missing a bunch, but those come to mind.

[@HesJuanShot]

MTGO has been a saving grace for me being able to rent cards for 10 bucks a week to see if I like a style of deck before going out to buy physical copies. I started playing commander 1 year ago so I am still feeling out what I like.

[@NitpickingNerds]

It really can be helpful!

[@jamesward1210]

I watch an absurd amount of MTG content and never have actually seen this particular content before. Good content 👍🏻 … content

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thank you, we try to keep things fresh and helpful!

[@kevinholmes3587]

this channel has been a great commander resource for both my budget and non-budget needs and has advanced me pretty far as a commander player. looking to become a patron asap :)

[@NitpickingNerds]

We would appreciate that very much! Thanks for the kind words

[@borislibaque1558]

This is one of your most useful videos. For anyone who doesn't netdeck and is just typying their commander into youtube to get content ideas, this video will is a good landing spot, a springboard to that world. Well done and thank you. Haven't heard of Scryfall myself til now and excited to try it

[@mattiavenier3898]

I live no where close to an lgs and spelltable really allowed me to get back into magic and keep playing it, I absolutely love it.

[@NitpickingNerds]

It is amazing!

[@Malverde888]

Thanks NN this is super useful for beginners! Other channels I’d recommend: Commander Void, Jumbo Commander, EDH Deckbuilding for nice tech and obscure cards. For gameplay I enjoy Quintessential Commander and Smooth Brain EDH.

[@NitpickingNerds]

All great channels

[@Markjwecho1]

Love this. Was thinking of suggesting exploring more "non-game" stuff like this. Would love to learn more about other tools/products you use to help you with your deck building/organizing/inventory/etc.

[@The_Grimsun]

Dude moxfield is a godsend. I have enjoyed making decks to mess around with on there and testing new decks I want to build so much. There sorting is insanely good and with custom tags it helps me cut cards so much faster than I normally could.

[@thatjordyguy]

I quit playing Magic for like 15-16 years and recently got back into playing. You have no idea how much this channel has helped me with not only catching up with and adapting to Commander, but giving me ideas for cards on my new decks. Keep up the amazing work!

[@NitpickingNerds]

We are glad to hear that we are helping

[@Barturito]

You could do a follow up video talking about apps. I don’t know if you use your phones for deckbuilding or wishlists for when you got to your local card shop, but if you’re looking for content ideas, maybe give it a thought.

[@choppyhen]

I also use a website for my land calculations. I put in how many lands I need, and the amount of mana symbols I have of each color, and it tells me how many lands I need of every color

[@Bstone410]

My cats' favorite toys are also non-toy objects. Their favorite is a reel of twine. They also love when I set up a disco ball in the evening sometimes, they'll go crazy running around at all of the lights. Lightweight rattley things that make a noise when they kick them around (like a soda bottle cap) are always popular, and they also really like playing with the strip of plastic left over from opening a plastic bag (the kind that has a little slit on one side so you can tear it off).

[@joshua3539]

[@danielgoldberg2129]

Enjoyed the video. It would have helped if you would have put the names of the site up on the screen while you talked about them.

[@antfayden]

Most of the sites I would expect to see and many that I also use. Surprised that MPC or something similar didn't make it as a proxy resource. Now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure what your stance on proxies are, I probably missed that tidbit somewhere along the way

[@NitpickingNerds]

We don't mind people using proxies but dont person advocate it overall

Hey Nitpicking Nerds, great content. It would be great if you could make a video on how to goldfish, i.e. tips to make your goldfishing effective. For example, if i am trying to see if a card increases my sunergy in my deck should i shuffle up fully or should i draw a starting hand taking this card for granted? How to goldfish with ery interactive cards etc. What is your take on it? I have not seen anyone give tips on this.

[@angelsepulveda9211]

I have to recommend Forge for play testing decks. I have discovered so many synergies and combos in the decks that I built by playing games over and over against ai run decks that have helped me be better in the decks that I run. It won't prepare you for playing against real opponents and politicking if you're only going against AIs, but it really let's you feel out your own brews.

[@bch9124]

In 2002, in a casual MTGO lobby, I played against a random planeswalker. We started making puns with the in-game chat and immediately hit it off as besties for the past 20 years. No matter how flashy MTGA is or ever becomes, it will never live up to the possibility of community and unity that MTGO has always had. Besides, you can play Commander on MTGO and show accurate interactions of most cards, while MTGA is limited in all the above ways. For instance, did you know that you can cast a Shivan Dragon on an opponent's turn when doing so via Garth One-eye? MTGA would never be able to show you this! MTGO definitely is not lame-o; please reconsider. I appreciate you, Nerds!
