What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

[@alessiopiscitelli2749]

Ah yes, your random bulk rare thats just a bad white creature with some lifegain tacked onto it for my twenty dollar good blocker that turns into a board wipe that does 7 damage to my opponent for 2 mana. Seems fair.

Alessio Piscitelli the rhino is good In some white weenie and thing In the ice is only worth 6 bucks it’s also not a board wipe or free damage I don’t know if you know this but summoning sickness?

Perfect timing for that Dominaria hype.

I doubt he wouldn't know about it, Considering at the very least all the ads and spoilers that started popping up within the last month.

Seriously love these card trader ones ER. These bring back some nostalgia for me, as I was huge into all sorts of trading cards years back. Time to sleep and trade.

[@L0Qk1]

I used to love trading. I remember we had this one guy at the shop who I'd frequently trade with, we would spend hours picking card after card for a balance in value. By the end it'd be 60 cards for 60 cards trade lol.

I was watching the Pokemon one last night! Thank you ER!

[@Navarreswordmaster]

Official from WoTC, Garruk's name starts like the Gar in Gary, and rhymes with Truck.

[@EvolvedDinosaur]

So I went ahead and did the math for the whole trade deal, because some seemed a bit wonky. And as it turns out, the card traders side of the trade has a value of $45.25 meanwhile the viewers side only has $27.84. Meaning we make a profit of $17.41. That Botanical Sanctuary for Mana Confluence really hurt The Card Trader, costing him $15.54 in trade value (This is all based of TCG Player market price)

Pff, that's nothing, my dealer says he has a secret stock of the Power 9.

The Card Trader is my favorite character, his gimmick and the routine he goes through with each card is very relaxing. I don't even play Magic, but I was interested through the entire video.

[@_1v1VP_]

I was more of a Yu-gi-oh or Pokemon card collector, but hey, the nostalgia tingles feelsgoodman.

[@MrBalaki97]

I totally agree some of my best childhood memories were playing yugioh with friends and we'd take it so seriously. I remember how cool you were if you had the duel disk that went on your arm. Now days I'm 21 and me and my buddys still smoke weed and play yugioh its an old classic that will never die in my heart I wish I still had the old classic first edition cards like blue eyes and black eyes. Toon world . obliesk the tormenter. Dark magician. The swords of revealing light. Monster reborn. Pot of greed. Negate attack. So many more I could go on and on. all those lovely classics so engraved deeply into my childhood. Much love to see another fan

[@W22lker]

@@MrBalaki97 the game still has competitive play and those cards are still around but pot of greed is banned

Do you think that he starts with mythic rares knowing that as the cards get less interesting people can get abit more relaxed or fall asleep easier? Cause they arent waiting to see the good stuff, I just know an unreal amount of effort goes into the videos id be surprised if everything wasn't well thought out
