Magic: The Gathering is the greatest game in the world, but it is also one of the most difficult and complex. Just because you know how to play, doesn’t mean you know how to play it well. Just because you know what goes in a deck doesn’t mean there isn’t more to learn. That’s why this deck will explore not how to build a Magic: The Gathering deck, but how to build a better one.
One of the best, most creative parts of Magic is building your own deck, combining cards and ideas to express yourself and your passions on the battlefield. However, coming up with the perfect combination of 60 or sometimes 100 cards can be a daunting, frustrating and intimidating task.
This video will cover how to optimize your strategy, tinker with your curve, and how to create consistency so that your deck performs as well as it can! Why run 4 copies of some cards and only 2 or even 1 copy of another card? We’ll cover all that as well as playtesting and sideboarding as needed.

Someone walked in and took a glance and the screen and thought I was watching an academical video. I just wanted you to know your level of sophistication.

I recently got into Magic with a group of friends and I love it. I feel that my reason is kind of silly though, I like playing out stories with my cards and imaging them in their own epic tales as I'm playing. I guess kind of like a flavour win.

Whenever the professor tosses something in the air to then catch, he looks very awkward and if he does catch it, he then looks very surprised that he did.

"Did you read the card?" Is literally what I say to a lot of my opponents lol

[@kurowasanabe]

It's easy to build better decks: just add Benjamins and Grants.

[@randomyoutubeshorts1868]

I need a gif of him sayin "reading the card explains the card."

[@ripleycastle5668]

I have a theory that the reason a lot of people enjoy magic so much is because they are able to dedicate so much time to deck building. The actual gameplay is where most of the enjoyment comes from, but the deckbuilding itself is where the initial self-challenging comes from. It’s a lot of complex, smart decision making, in and out of the game.

I have a mill deck. I named her MILLF LMAO.

I see that thumbnail as the legendary sorcery "The Professor's Deck Sundering".

Ok.

[@TheBavarianGamer]

My strategic reason to play only one copy of a card usually is:

[@danlizada]

"It's not about winning individual games of Magic. It's about getting better, win or lose"

[@MeagenImage]

"How to be better at card game. Step 1: Know what you're doing"

[@robertelee7719]

“Don’t be a slave to your theme”

[@sstankfish]

Helps to finally be told why you would run 1-4 copies of a card. Hells connect so many dots.

I host a Tabletop Gaming Club at the high school I teach at and we recently got an influx of new players who are all neophytes at the game. This video couldn't have come at a better time. Love your content as always.
