I'm a little sad about the lack of Cardsphere. It's like puca was, but without an inflation problem :(

[@Nozdormu1982]

there is no magic the gathering. There used to be a game called like that, but it disappeared long ago.

[@d2h655]

please make a video on Force of Will, we definitely need you to make the community come life again!! PLEASE!!??

[@Nvenom8.]

So cool that Jim Davis took a break from drawing Garfield to participate in your gameplay series!

[@gtfawaynotnow]

@ The Professor Perhaps consider adding an entire category dedicated to cell phone apps.

[@jas3point14]

I'm actually glad Scryfall was the first one featured. It really is the cleanest, most useful tool online for MtG.

[@urzaz]

Absolutely. You could easily make an entire video on Scryfall by itself.

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

It was down temporarily yesterday. I hope this was just a hiccup, and not a sign that its time is numbered. I don’t know what I’d do if I was stuck with Gatherer…

[@Zomburai45]

@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ It was not the first time Scryfall was temporarily down and will not be the last. It is neither evidence that Scryfall will shut down any time soon or proof that it will live forever. Just website stuff.

[@GravityShifter5]

@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ It was an upstream issue outside of their control, just so you're aware.

[@jmcalcy69]

This is a shot in the dark; Gwen Dekker, the lead designer of Cube Cobra, has a bunch of cubes that I'm sure he'd love to bring onto Shuffle Up & Play. I'd love to see cubes on that series.

[@n.stuckwisch4258]

I love this idea!

[@dkres82]

That would be awesome.

[@dekkerglen]

I'm down!

[@Zomburai45]

........ the lead designer of Cube Cobra is named "Dekker"?? That's amazing

[@froggyman3191]

This is exactly what I needed. I have been trying to get into magic for the last week and this video popped up at the perfect time!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Glad I could help!

[@vladplasmius2854]

I'm glad Scryfall was mentioned first. I've been a Patron for a few years now. Their contribution to the community is massive. They must work so hard to keep it running at such a level.

[@TehSeksyManz]

It really is superb

[@Chriscross257.]

I would love to see a in depth video about scryfall. I feel like many of us miss the most potential with it. Therefore a video maybe with a deck brew with scryfall would be dope

[@PhilippeNOUR]

As a French guy I can say your videos are truly la « crème de la crème » I would love to see you visit France and talk about Duel Commander which is a very popular format here. It may be interesting to have a series about MTG in different countries.

[@omerquiaragua2]

as a new player of MTG and MTGA i needed this so much, ive seen your work from a couple of weeks ago, and literally everyone (even here in LATAM) has told me to watch your vids for enlightment.. so.. thanks a lot for this proffessor, great vids btw.. outstanding job.

[@aceundead4750]

If you ever want a laugh the Prof also has MTG comedy videos called Office Hours where he talks to legendary characters from the story of Magic, my personal favorites are Teferi and Professor Onyx.

[@omerquiaragua2]

@@aceundead4750 lol i definetly will bro, thanks. i was introduced to magic "art style" when i was i little man, 20 plus years later, it will become a huge hobbie haha.. ill check the Office Hours vids bro thanks again

[@aceundead4750]

@@omerquiaragua2 you're welcome

[@untapopenleague8860]

6:55 We made it into a TCC video! We love you, prof

[@tayshope8406]

One big thing I would also like to note about Scryfall is that for us brewers, learning how to properly use syntax when searching in INCREDIBLY invaluable, as it's got nearly limitless potential for finding even the most obscure of cards. They even have a guide to help you along the way, if syntax isn't something you're already familiar with using. Cannot recommend enough getting comfortable with it!

[@MerlorMerlor]

i learned regular expressions for this and it has helped immensely!

[@thoticcusprime9309]

nah

[@SplinteredLimb]

I remember way back when you first made an online resources video for MTG players. It was one I would go back to frequently, so I'm stoked to see an updated list!

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

You know you’ve been reading too much Phyrexia lore when you read the title and think it says “The Compleat Guide.” P.s. Thank you so much for this video, Prof! I’ve been playing Magic for years and I still only had heard of about half of these!

[@YoungsterJoey151]

I dont know if content creators ever check comments on old videos, but incase he does, thank you Professor for being so helpful and making videos that are easily digestible. You really helped me as a life long yugioh player, get into magic and understand the game well!

[@mikehall9240]

Excellent video!!! I knew many of them already but there were a couple I will surely check out now!.These kind of videos are great for the community. Thanks for the sites Professor!

[@Aigis31]

Wow, this is amazing video! As a long-term Magic player, even I learned several new things about site features and sites I've never heard of!

[@squdnate]

"TCGPlayer is a lot like eBay" OH YEAH! I get that reference

[@dreadedevil4055]

I'm genuinely curious about the turn around time for the professor recording a video and it being uploaded due to this specific line. Did he happen to get lucky with making a great joke or does he just have extremely good editors that can put a video out in a day?

[@Meldon44]

@@dreadedevil4055Even if his editors are super fast, he obviously put a lot of time into this video between research and scripting, so I'm sure he'd already prepared that segment well before the announcement. Based on his edited-in comment a couple minutes later in the video, wherein he acknowledges the eBay acquisition, my interpretation is that it was a genuine comparison from his original script, focusing on the fact that both sites are marketplaces housing individual sellers. It just happened to age well as the perfect joke! Or.......... his famously dry sense of humor did indeed win out here, and he edited in both the explicit acknowledgement AND this tongue-in-cheek joke, both within the final couple days of editing....... Who am I kidding. It's the Professor. Of COURSE it's option B. 😂

[@sorasora6809]

Yesterday I literally watched your older video of this several hours before this upload. I was saying to myself, "I wish he'd update this." Thank you so much Prof

[@Bmacthesage]

I play proxy commander with my play group, and I use Mtg-print to print out my decks. It has a visual set selector (compared to edhrec with only a drop-down selector) so I can see what each set looks like for a card. The PDFs you download from it are print ready as well. Highly recommend.

[@RafaelAAMerlo]

After bouncing around many proxy sites that one is the one I liked the most. Also note that mtg-print is different from mtgprint, the first one has better overall image quality and a little support of languages other than English

[@ProductionJ2B]

Lovely that you mentioned the Europe website cardmarket.

[@MrKamylow]

Just a quick thanks for the work, the old list was invaluable when I started, this is even more complete and invaluable for any type of player you might be but especially for new / returning or unplugged player that never thought too much about the availability of such ressources. Thumbs up prof, keep up the good work.

[@baron819]

As a primarily competitive player, i have been using mtgtop8 for 10+ years to find decks and learn metagames. Their tournament results show level of competition for the event in 1 star for low level/online league events, 2 stars for regional events, and 3 stars for events like gps/pro tours.

[@batardglouton5455]

Top8 should have been there definitely

[@AdamBittner]

Agreed

[@AdamBittner]

Yes. Goldfish isn't as good for this imho.

[@Timbochop]

I love this! Just decked out my bookmarks on my internet browser. Great episode!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Glad you like them!

[@JB-42069]

Prof you are a GODSEND I was just needing a video like this!!

[@boromeer3]

Getting back into the hobby after ten years or so, this was just the right time and place for me to find this video! Thank you, Professor!

[@HinuHyuga]

I use MTGlands when trying to find good lands and all for my decks. It breaks them down by shock, bonuce, ect. They also have a filter option where you can select what lands you need for double color, or the new triple color lands.

[@janmelantu7490]

Unfortunately that site hasn’t been updated in a long time, it doesn’t have anything after Ixalan block. So no triomes, none of the new gates, none of the pathways, none of the artifact or snow duals, etc.

[@Smoove1979]

Prof, this music fit so well for this video. What a pleasure.

[@dustinolson4674]

Was cool to see Larry's Game Store pop up when talking about CFB. Since my old LGS closed down, it's the closest store to me. It's only been open for a little while, but it's growing. It's nice to have a LGS again.

[@samueltucker8223]

Prof what sets you apart is your knowledge and great information you give to the community. Ive been a long time player about found a couple sites very helpful that i didnt know about!

[@stuartwhyte4274]

Thank you for the EDHRec recommendation. I'd never checked out their site before, but I just went there and found lots of great card ideas that I had overlooked for my Jaya Ballard & Kemba, Kha Regent commander decks.

[@Phenest76]

Watched the vid in one tab, added bookmarks in another! Thanks, Professor!

[@michaelpatalano9884]

I always go to EDHREC for ideas on a new deck, pick one, then see all the cards highly used, and then I finish it off by finding similar cards using scryfall. I build the deck in Moxfield

[@Kaisingsens]

What a great resource. Many Magic the Gathering players don't have to ask certain questions anymore.

[@ianfab79]

Commander Spell book is another great resource. You type in a card and it will give you a list of the possible combos with it. You can even filter by different requirements to fit your deck!

[@Crackdown148]

OMG!!! The timing, I was just looking for this type of video 😆😆😆😆

[@willwithanxbox]

Thanks for the video professor. My first full video back after taking a break from magic for awhile. Although magic does change all the time one thing doesn't which is how helpful your videos are

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Glad it helped!

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

@@TolarianCommunityCollege I’ve been playing for years, and I still only knew half of these. Thank you so much!

[@90SaltySloth]

Loved the video and learned something new! I do have a suggestion, it's not a website but a very helpful app, Decked Builder. I needed a way to build decks and most of it you can use for free but other features you do have to buy it. However, one of the coolest free options (I think it's still free if they haven't changed it) is to add cards into a deck or library you can scan the card with your phone camera! I thought that part was nifty! You can also search cards and get average price listings for them, test a deck to see what kind of first hand grabs you could get but you also get the stats of your deck like checking your mana curve. It's not the fanciest app but it's helped me keep track of my collection while building new decks.

[@stickoIogy]

I picked up my first deck with draconic dissent the other day, guides like these are wonderful and so helpful, thank you!

[@tubejeh11]

Great useful video! I'm just surprised not to see deckstats in the list! (You forget to add deckbox to the description)

[@urzaz]

This is a great idea for a video, Prof. Love the continued commitment to newer players.

[@UVAFoozle]

16:41 Card Kingdoms prices are often inflated a couple bucks on higher value cards. I still buy from them often enough for the shipping, and when I'm looking for a bunch of obscure old commons and unsummons, having them come in one package is nice.

[@SimKill]

You have no idea how useful this is. Thank you!

[@vengerofthelight]

I'm both surprised and pleased that Prof made this video, given the whole Puca debacle.

[@Bergensape]

Very interesting, thanks for the video Prof! Next would be nice to have the same video format but for mtg mobile resources

[@user-bm7bj6kq9e]

Professor, thank you so much for your videos. As a new player they have helped me navigate the endless void (of awesomeness) that Magic the Gathering is. Everything from Deckboxes to this :-) Cheers from Denmark

[@RafaelAAMerlo]

For appreciation of the beautiful arts of our beloved game in high resolution, MTG Pics is the place to go ❤

[@karlsouza5021]

I honestly didn't think I would learn anything from this. I'm glad you say I did.

Ah, it feels good to be in class. Loved the lecture today, thanks Professor!

I was just listening to this without seeing the video for the first couple minutes, and when the Prof was talking about *THE* MTG database and I felt the pull of Scryfall in my soul.

[@ikestoddard2458]

GREAT VIDEO!!! Flesh and Blood TCG desperately needs this kind of video, especially the site address collation! Anything you can do is appreciated! Even a text file of URLs would be appreciated.

[@charlesthacker2384]

Manabox is a mobile card database and it's amazing. So simple to use and updates really fast. Best mobile database I've found

[@roguewookiee]

Same! Very nice service!

[@LegitimateBusinesspersonU11]

I've fallen in love with it and I'm spreading it between all my friends. Incredible app!

[@getlefty82]

Love ManaBox, very easy to import/export decklists.

[@pierrepaniagua]

How do you compare it to topdecked?

[@knightofsouls]

The Phone App Manabox is absolutely incredible and constantly improving. I use it as my defacto deck list/builder. I can be bored at work and do deck changes. The person who runs it is also really cool and open to entertaining new features and genuinely a pleasure to deal with. The app is ever evolving and I hope to hear other's success with the app!

[@timdornaus]

super useful to have this compiled in one video

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

I'll also say that in terms of selling cards, Card Kingdom was by far the easiest and highest return method! I recently sorted my binders and sold the stuff I really didn't care to CK for almost 200 dollars. I did spend $10 to safely ship them the cards, so it's more for when you're selling in bulk!

[@ericsagaser7330]

This is wonderful! I've been looking for something like this! Thank you

[@diegoblin9090]

TCC has some videos that i use as references and this is one of them. Im sharing this video now and anytime a new player ask about websites or information.

[@aStrix171]

This is very useful, thanks Professor! I was unaware of many of these sites. should be helpful in building my 1st commander deck from scratch

[@SalsaSerpent71]

My friends and I do weekly MTG games with different rule sets and deck building restrictions. This week is commander with only creatures with a printed power and toughness 1/1. Linking this to them so they can really dig through EVERYTHING.

[@zionellis579]

ooh, how convenient that there is a pretty recent video from a source I trust to help with my search to sell my cards 😁 Awsome!

[@chancylvania]

I love how the prof just floats into frame. Appropriate. It’s like he’s sliding in on a skate board to ask how us fellow kids are doing.

[@DiceTry]

I pretty much couldn't make content without scryfall. It's easily the most important site. Second would be mtgpics. Their database of card art is amazing.

[@Phe0nix1986]

[@jeppekjr4618]

I still can’t believe Magic the gathering salvation went under. It was such a great forum to chat with people about deck archetypes. Goldfish and Mtg Top 8 are pretty great though to see winning deck types.

[@yklys10s]

Great video, prof. It'd be awesome if you could make a video about mtg apps. I use mtg familiar and the wotc companion, but there are several other good apps out there.

This is quite the coincidence. I wanted to upload my Etali Commander deck onto Moxfield in order to try out it's functions (I've never used it) and opened KZbin to put on some music while typing in the decklist... and then the Prof released a video about such websites just a few hours ago...

[@TSAGwolf]
