Magic the Gathering: Basic Introduction Ft. Nexius (Gameplay/Commentary) Part. 1

[FRStratos]

GREAT video. very thorough. I'm very new to Magic and alot of my questions were answered here, even down to how to open the booster packs (correctly)

[DetroXification]

bought 8 packs got 6 mythic rares... WTF is it with dark ascension D:

[IamCaptOneill]

@DetroXification It's because in innistrad, you get a flip card a rare and possibly a foil, I opened 14 rares at my D.A Pre realease, I hit 3 rares in 3 packs lol, It's legit as. It makes drafting with the set really interesting to.

badman :D

[ximbabwe0228]

needs bacon strips

[96Warobelisk]

@ximbabwe0228 I still wanna see Nexius and Muscles Glasses meet...EPIC

[cs126080]

@ximbabwe0228 rofl.

[TheShadyCardGuy]

1 in 8 for a mythic i usually get 1 mythic every 3 or 4 boosters packs

[ThatOneGuyNamedLouis]

@TheShadyCardGuy Ok, your lucky, because mythics are only printed in 1 in every 8.

[kentsdragon2]

make more mtg plz

[estrulz]

Thanks for the tips nex i'm new to mtg this helped

[Tibiable]

that's a great introduction ! keep it up and looking forward to new stuff !

[KlotzProductions]

Hey Nexius, we should do a MTG collaboration! My youtube channel resolves all around MTG and MTG gameplays.

[Knickerbocker2002]

it's a pretty good deck green to block and red to attack

[Knickerbocker2002]

my deck is green and red

[OmenOfTheSouth]

Got dat rebel flag awn! :D (astric lip smack)

[OmenOfTheSouth]

Got dat rebel flag awn! :D

[Pwnage17]

anyone else think nexius looke like depeche mode?

[JoeySedlacek]

i literally just started getting cards yesterday(haven't played yet) i got a black blue starter kit is that an easy group to play with or should i try something else

[bordismiskoo]

so, you only get 1 land card per booster pack? it must be expensive trying to get a decent amount of land cards i guess, right?

[KlotzProductions]

@bordismiskoo nah, you can get them in bulk for cheap. The basic lands really aren't worth much of anything and are easy to find.

[TheWowMob]

Sir nex, how much do those packs cost?

[D0U8L3G]

@TheWowMob Its usually around $4 or at the place I go to 4 for $15

[Mahogany284]

Nex, what kind of build are you using for this current block??

[AxleIsBored]

ive been playing for years with friends. i've been using an equipment soldier deck for a long time noe (with 3 beacons of immortality for life gain) .

what kind of deck do you usually use nex??

[lunar05]

Yo nexius...i've been a swifty fan for about 2 months. And i so thought you were a douchebag talkin in Swifty videos then started seeing how your the chill type. Subscribing. Totally a fan :)

[Shaunova]

I'd really like to get into this but I just cant afford to, So I'll just enjoy it through your videos. :-D next time you goto a tournament dont take Swifty :P he steals your thunder and you deserve more recognition anyway! (Not hating on Swifty just saying :P)

[TobbzSC]

Tell me nex, do you play the online game too?

[Helkorlinator]

4:55 this is not entirely true atm, you will often see combinations of opposing colors. Examples is red/white battlecry, and blue/green flashback spells.

[lolsobrown]

i just got a black lotus ,sorry for bragin. : )

[Parstices]

It's Magic, no one cares.

[andrey0ne]

Hey Nexius. Thank you for those Videos. I was playing Magic many years ago and thinking of starting again. Could you tell me whats the best way to start? buying a starter? wich one? im most with collecting and dont want to buy complete decks...

thanks for your help

[Helkorlinator]

@andrey0ne Best way to start out, or well cheap way, is to buy a complete deck, and then some boosters, and customize the deck to the way you want it :)

[PepperNigger]

VOTE FOR RON PAUL

REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN 3 MONTHS AHEAD

Seeing as this is nexius' video, I assume you people aren't fucking retarded. Just look into what Ron Paul stands for. Less spending, soldiers back home, etc

You may think he is a crazy, but look into what he stands for before you make up your mind.

[DevilSquid2006]

So what net deck u plan on playing with inistrad out?

[SoreGums]

it has begun, 1st lot of stuff arrived today, you should get some sort of coms from wizards :) photosDOTnicholasorrDOTcom/Oth­er/Random/i-XsfJ3CH/1/M/201110­04115218-M.jpg

[FBAwesome]

You really made me make up my mind Nex! :)

I'm going to buy a Magic starter pack or booster pack as soon as I have the time and money!

I'm really looking forward to your upcoming videos, Nexius!

[HauntUinYourDreams]

make new videos or ?

[suplex11]

nvm

[suplex11]

no more wow?

[06fdaniel]

nexius, u hav another subscriber (thats me) iv played a fire amge for almost a year, i was skilled and loved 2 pvp, i thought of pve as a complete waste of time, my fire mage was so fun 2 play, the only class i had trouble playing against where rogues so i made a lvl 85 rogue 2 learn their tactics, uv helped me in wow so much and i srsly hope u make much more videos like them. sadly i hav now quit wow and also deleted both my lvl 85's but after some time, mayb a year so i will play again. GL!

[Asrilan]

Who noticed Swifty's green screen behind Nexius at 7:13 ? :p

[rev1ction]

Pantera Shirt.

MTG.

Well-spoken and intelligent and professional videos.

Bitchin aviators.

Subbed.

[GreedeeVids]

Sup brother! Love playing MTG. I'm going to the Release this weekend. I had to work last weekend or I would have done pre-release! Btw if you get a chance not sure if you've seen this but there's a green instant cast card that works with Werewolves and Wolves. I'll let you see it for yourself, however.. it's going to be SIIICK for drafts and sealed.

[TheOllever]

You are so Awsome! i love you!

[CocoCrispy101]

Hey Nexius I Love your Magic Videos! You inspired me to start playing Magic The Gathering, and making videos that people will love just like you man. Cant wait tell next vid. :D

[TheHawkeye92]

Thumbs up that Nexius should show us his MTG collection

[TheHawkeye92]

Lol playing poker with Nexius must suck!!!!

[TortillaGaming]

He wears a fucking PANTERA Shirt.

Subscribed!

[TheToxicSis]

My brother's an avid Swifty fan, and when he told me that you would be starting to do MTG, I dang near pissed myself with excitement. I'm looking forward to your future videos, and I'm eager to see if they will be helpful. Subscribe - check. Like on Facebook - check. All that's left to do is wait.

[DFT7]

not only do you know what you are talking about, you look so f*cking badass doing it.

[nomchews]

Part 2.

Kgo.

Also you should offer to live stream a match between a fan in standard constructed.

[vseigo]

Dude, let's play.



[MyZefix]

I met Nexius at the Magic Tournament My first thought was oh man he's going to be a ass nah probably the nicest guy I ever met thx Nex you truly are a great guy keep up the good work allways will be your fan

[GENOCIDALxCLAN]

DUDE i got a mythic on my first booster pack today.

[CocoCrispy101]

@GENOCIDALxCLAN Nice man good luck to you :)

[DTProtoss]

I really like your vids nex, i found u by swifty and guess what. You inspired me to play magic xD i gotta get a deck though, what do you recomend, im a total noob =S

[Meganeckbeard1]

also nex technically sealed and draft are all grouped under "limited".

[Meganeckbeard1]

WOOOOO!!!!! SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED EDH!!!!!

[Puipelo]

I wanna see more WoW pvp from Nex!

[indolivion]

you are the epic...

[headhunter998]

Is this something like Yu-Gi-Oh? because i really enjoyed that, or is this more advanced?

[TheKaskaLOL]

Hey Nex cool little bit of info for you, The Deckmaster Bar on the back of the magic cards has a squiggly line on the far right side, That mark has been there since the original release of MTG but is not meant to be there, It was a accidental Biro Pen mark made on the first print of the backing of the cards and wasn't noticed until a few sets in, and due to cards having to be identical from the back it now cannot be changed :)

Cool info :D

[WhoBuiltTheArk]

@TheKaskaLOL I have played magic for something like twelve years now and I have never heard this bit of information. Fascinating, thank you.

[derico12345]

Nexius is cool! Keep those videos coming bro! :)

[heyitscomplex]

dbag

[music4meh]

@heyitscomplex ur dad.

[MrCortar]

Yo man, I'm diggin these MGT vids man. (especially the "duels of the planeswalker" ones. Any plans of doing a video showing the expansion?

Thinking about getting it.

[RMCarnage]

I just decided to go out and buy some cards. Ive played duels of the planeswalkers before so I have basic knowledge of the game. I was initially going to just buy a deck builders toolkit but there is a pre release for the new set soon and I was wondering if it would be better to go there.

[TheRobot452]

@RMCarnage As I have personally bought the deck builder's toolkit I would highly recommend it. The cards are super cheap for how many you get. If money's not an option then I think I would go with the Innistrad pre release, especially if you want to play standard. (A lot of the deck builder's toolkit cards have rotated out.)

[cinosxx]

what is the name of his background music ?

[OutlawzNdThuglife]

Why are you wearing Sunglasses 24/7?

[MaxLakebeach]

Hi Nexius, you're the man dude, i really like you.. I just wanted to say that you're awesome & chill dude who's super talented at editing! Keep on goin'.

[TheLegoEater]

Thank you Nexius !

[SilentHunterKiller]

ohh nex how nice to see you on a video without swifty!

[ViciousGodsGaming]

I just want the cards cuz they look so fucking cool

[LachyDonny]

Nexius, My friend, I love the way that you always wear those glasses, Makes you look awesome, You make great video's on gaming, I also like that you don't let anyone beat you (Especially not swifty) :p You're a great guy!

[chiko55]

[TheKronedog]

[MaknasWins]

[deamos]

You standing in a card shop makes me remember such great memories of Magic tournaments! Its people like you Nexus that make content on what you love to do and you can tell it! Much respect and keep it up!

[Goujiki]

More MTG videos please!!!

[EinherjerZombie]

Nice video.

I see that the cardgame hasn't changed that much since it was first launched.

It's a cool game, but once you are hooked it will empty your wallet.

Tragic - The Garnering or Papercrack is a more fitting name.

[jetmarlin]

great video of magic i love so much this game you have to do more videos about magic you rock nexius! :)

[MrVevic]

Your intro always gives me chills, Nex. In the good way, of course.

[iLvDI]

Nice

[dudley03420]

nice video nex! enjoyed learning a bit about the game looks very interesting

[SteamIHeart]

At first I was like: Yep that's a douchbag right there, don't like him. All this because of your confident stance, glasses and chill face. Now I see that you actually seem really nice. You know how people kinda comes in types? Well you're a combo, Nice, yet cool guy who like the same things as i do, makes great videos and are really talented with video? Subscriber? You got yourself a fan, my friend.

[MasterShake087]

[ReyBilingue]

@NexiusGaming I tried sending you a message but you have a friend's lock. Hopefully it will let me comment now, stupid error.

I loved your Magic videos and posted them on my blog. Asides the FB and channel, do you have any other social media account that I can write down for your fans?

[TheCameltotem]

@SteamIHeart So if you're confident you're an douchebag? Fucking nerd idiot...

[SteamIHeart]

@TheCameltotem It's called prejudices, seems like you have heard of it ^^

[Grevanizer]

@TheCameltotem did u read SteamlHearts whole comment? ... idiot.

[NIN1024]

@TheCameltotem Dumbshit.

[cinosxx]

i have a question... can i buy Magic cards even if i live in Europe ( Latvia ) ? and if yes , how i start ?

[syntex88]

@cinosxx u can get it all over the world i think,and u basicly start those card games with a starter pack,u get then a deck of cards and can start playing.Normaly its like this :)

[cinosxx]

@syntex88 any online store u know maybe ? :)) that ships to other counties and all that stuff :P

[eoughu]

[WowVolcanic]
