  • thanks guys i am playing this with my boyfriend and his friend tonight so gotta make sure i know how to play only played it once its a fun game

  • Question: If im playing an instant card (if its my opponents turn) do I need to tap the mana when I play it, or before I forfeit my turn?

  • you need to tap the mana when you play it

  • Thank you!

  • lol u can play it during lent XDDDDD lol!!!

  • whats lent

  • catholic tradition where you forsake something you like to do for 40 days

  • thx

  • Haha yea I think of Duel Masters aswell :D "Who's the kid with spikey hair? SHOBU!!!" I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh player, but I think it's time I buy a Magic deck because it looks like fun and it's more of an adult game, where as yu-gi-oh is more of a childrens game.

  • @redx880 SAME! like exact same comment.

  • i agree and was thinking the same thing

  • Actually I'm planning on getting into Magic but it's not necessarily an adult game. I've had played this game in Junior High-School.

  • dude blue/light is good because you can heal while being attacked as well as grasually slowing down your foe's attacks

  • @xXxtaureanxXx not if your facing off against black vampire cards the gain life as they deal damage and counter cards

  • you're on the right track.

  • there's no particular rule saying you have to but there's no reason not to. you want to have access to your spells as soon as possible so putting a land down when able is a good idea.

  • what are you confused about? their just giving you an example of when you've gotten that far in the game. generally that would be turn 6.

  • duel masters just coms into mind

  • the people at magic the gathering also do duel masters. for younger kids and stuff... and to make more money ofcourse, but still i loved duel masters when i was a kid

  • I HATE the new cards. How they look.

  • i just make 1 colour decks i made a black deck with creatures and spells that can bring back cards from graveyard too my hand.

  • i love red, but i so love black.. then i fought, is it a good thing having red and black together? becouse - red is like they sayd fast and "kill and win now !" and black is "sacrafice your own creaters to win".

  • red /black work well together. their both focused on destruction of either the player or his creatures.

  • I play Blue, mostly. Blue ftw!

  • green decks suck. Creatures with stupid trample keep wailing on me with 8/8. not to mention stupid landfall

  • im confused about starting this. is green and silver combined a good deck?

  • @TheEndSkyress silver is artifact, each color interacts with them differently. green usually wants to destroy artifacts so it typiclly wouldnt be a good starting deck

  • @DeadHand1992 when i said silver. i meant white.

  • green white decks actually work fairly well. white has a huge aresenal of low cost powerful creatures, like elite vanguard and really good spells to deal with your oponents creatures, like path to exile and pacifism. Green has some big huge creatures to use later in the game to stomp out your opponent like kalonian behemoth or the new card terra stomper who cant be countered and is an 8/8 trampler for 3 green mana and 3 colorless mana (converted mana cost 6)!!

  • @DeadHand1992 thanks. im sure now that im making the right choice.

  • wow... blue is a color. hadn't tought of that xD

  • what about artifact creture

  • i got a whole deck of them

  • "during Lent"... lol

  • Are there cards that can destroy lands... like in Yu-Gi-Oh and how Spells/Traps can destroy other Spells and Traps?

  • @YuGiOhASFan4Life

    Yes, but they can cost a lot of mana.

  • yes there are

  • I was is told that magic is evul so I can't play it. Is those guys sorcerers then?

  • @tshack88

    MTG isn't an evil game. The players are planeswalkers - people who have powers and can summon beasts to do their bidding and suchlike.

  • no dude its not. I myself am a christian but i still play.

  • @tshack88 how old r u?

  • Gonna have to check this game out!

  • I bought a bunch of cards like 8yrs ago but didnt know what to do with them or how to get started...lol

    I want to start playing now it looks awesome...

  • PDF guide book is easy to download.

    But It's better to learn by doing.

  • Watching these videos really makes me want to start playing MTG again. I wish I knew the location of my player ID.

  • very very cool!!!!

  • how menny lands should i have in my deck..

    Im a beginer ...

  • 20-25 is average for a 60 card deck

  • you should have at least 1/3 of your deck as lands. that's what my friends usually tell me

  • 2/5

  • For beginning players, read this, this is a common made mistake:

    Lands aren't mana, Lands produce mana if you tap them. If you tap a mountain, you get 1 red mana in something called "mana pool". The Mana Pool doesn't really exist but mana goes to the mana pool before you use it up to cast a spell.

    I.E:

    You tap five Forests.

    You get five green mana in your mana pool.

    You use that mana to play a three mana spell.

    There is two mana left in your mana pool...

  • Hmm...at the beginning, he says he has 6 land played, but then, without playing another land, the next shot shows 7.

    I think they made an error and had to cut the video and edit it in.

  • is land cards the onlynthings you can put in the mana zone?

  • Yes. There's some cards that have abilities that will allow you to gain more mana, but lands all stay together in their own area.

  • you really only need to pay attention to zones in tournaments... but if it is casual play you can put artifacts or enchantments that produce land down were your actual land is and it shouldn'e be a bug deal

  • hahaha its 15 dolers in nz for one planes waker

  • my first deck i got today good deal at the warren pa card shop they have 50 for a $1

    i got 2 of them white and green

  • ROFL tapping.

    "so i just tapped 1"

    "well i wanna make u happy"

  • WTF ?

  • im new to this card game.. can u play with any mtg card no matter how old it is? or do u have to updated it every year or something.. are there compatibility issues

  • you can have cards from 1993 and fight against a guy who's using 2010 year cards and still win.

  • want answers on this game i got most of it at the moment u got type 1 and type 2 only counts in some tournaments they say u can only use type 2 cards but if ure gonna fight with friends it doesent matter tough type 2 is mostly weaker then type 1

  • If you ask a more specific question, I can answer it specifically.

    PM me with any and all questions about Magic.

  • and i dident ask anything i said somethign i answered someones question

  • The latest innovation in online social media as it relates directly to interpersonal communication—an overnight sensation known in some circles as "punctuation"—is now being used to clarify positions and opinions around the world.

  • If a land enters the battlefield tapped, i can add the mana to my mana pool or do i have to wait until next turn?

  • Fn,

    In order to add mana to your pool, you have to tap it from an untapped state, i.e., wait until your next untap step. Alternately, you could use a card that specifically untaps tapped lands, such as Reset, Turnabout, or Twiddle.

  • great video

  • He laughed because he was thinking about sex while talking about tapping a card.

  • Guy sounds like Seth Rogen.

  • haha

  • lol i troll u

  • There is a lot of hate in these comments, lads.

  • Very nice Vids. I have been playing Magic for 15 years now. I wish I can find a card shop with cool dudes like yoos guys.

  • lol. i agree. lol

  • waste

  • its funny how some youtube people always waste my time. lol :P :P :P :P :P

  • It's funny how you waste your own time with meaningless comments.

  • :P :P :P :P  :P

  • lol keep up the comments guys, hysterical, for those of you looking for magic video's click on the name and check out a couple the video's up already. i guess the one's up are more for the beginner's but we have some gigantic Booster breaks and deck analysis coming soon. ( 32 boosters and about 6 decks will be talked about). keep posted and for the love of god subscribe, i mean if your interested. otherwise enjoy the magic and keep collecting.

  • im dying of laughter. fake people crack me up.

  • knowledge561 is trying to compensate for something....

  • damn i stopped playing 3-4 years ago...now i want to start again but i have no time for that too...plus it needs a shitload of money..

  • if you play with pride, you play with fun.

  • lol during lent =P

  • well yugioh is way more popular than this virgin crap. just look at these losers. who ever plays this is needs to kill themselves asap!!!!!!!!!! wat da fuck is a mtg??

  • Magic the Gathering has been around for about 13 years. You should try it its a lot more in depth than yugioh. I know almost everyone talks shit about people who play pokemon or Magic but, you dont have to change your lifestyle to play the game. Once you think about MTG started it all.

  • well MTG was actually voted to be the best strategy game ever..in a year which i can't recall right now..but sure as hell is more in depth than yugioh.

  • hahhaa allright i used to play this when i was like 13 ok? now.. i think magic is a lot of fun i dont play it now but i think you are a retard for sayin that, u think this guys are loosers i bet he fuck more girls in a weekend that u in ur damn life hahaha well have a nice day MF! ps.

  • 1.This is the INTERNET I know you wanna be "cool, and popular" but if you want to make friends go outside and get some sunlight kid.

    2.ONLY people with no friends try to be all "gangster " online..like LMFAO!

    3.Good luck working at Mc Donald's the rest of your life penny pinching old lady's for chump change because you couldn't afford to pass English since the 2nd grade.

    4.Both of you "Chumps" are Sand Niggers.

    5.oh damn whats that smell, oh wait it's all that shit coming out of your mouth.

  • Fuck off with the Arabic jokes. I'm part arabic and I didn't even say anything and I'm being insulted. So get off of our back's cause not all us "Sand Niggers" did anything to you.

  • Good for you.

    You have just admitted to doing the following things.

    1. Touching men.

    2. Touching men repeatedly.

    3. Touching men on a daily bases.

    4. Dominating other men for sexual arousement.

    5. When two guys touch each other in a close physical manner nobody wins.

    6. I'm pretty sure he and your GF have been hitting on each other,

    7. What is a "fuckin pie ass bitch" and of course only YOU would know what that is since you have personal experience in that area of expertise.

  • y the fuck u typing to me. stop wasting my time internet nerd.

  • The same reason why you responded.

    Why waste your time typing a message only to make you feel better?

    Because you have no friends and need to flame others to feel good instead of being the emo that you are and cutting your wrists.

  • ... unless they are girls that like geeks and like to be ones themselves. Consequence? Action, baby!

    You're not insulting. Or interesting.

  • this vid is probably the most helpful in the set. :3

    I've had a deck once that had no creatures whatsoever. just sorceries, istants, and enchantments. it actualy held up pretty well.

  • yugioh has no mana thats why sux even pokemon was better u were proud to be an electric master or proud to have the best forest deck un like yugioh

  • fuckin kids on youtube who think they're tough but are actually like 10 years old

  • go go 300 SPARTA yea

  • Yugioh is a buncha bullshit

  • lol

  • how does mana burn work?

  • when u tap a land and u have any un taped land that u didnt use to play anything u take one damage to your life per un taped land u didnt use

  • Mana burn works this way: When you tap lands, you actually add the mana to your mana pool. When playing spells you pay with the mana in your mana pool. When you end your turn, you get 1 point of damage for each point of unused mana in your mana pool. Example: If you tap 2 islands (add 2 blue mana to mana pool) and play Sleight of Hand (cost 1 blue mana) and end your turn, you'll suffer 1 point of damage for the unused blue mana point.

  • actually, mana burn no longer exists.

  • Okay. I might not be entirely up to date with current rules then. :-S

  • they just took it out tho, for magic 2010. they changed a lot of things.

  • my artifacts only go in my w/u/b deck because they are colored artifacts

  • he actually said tap the mana and get the mana out of it

    jesus christ,you dont make these mistakes at a freaking guide

    when i just started playing i didnt know the difference between mana and land and this sure wouldnt help any beginer.

    you tap the LAND to add the MANA into your mana pool.

  • I agree, I thought land WAS mana, I don't know why they just sticked with land's text being "tap: add [insert mana color] into mana pool"

  • tell me aBout it

  • yugioh is much easier because its less tactic and it has a TV cartoon show to explain the rules in the easiest way.

  • Wow... complicated game. Yu-Gi-Oh is easier or it's just my impression cuz it's the only one I know?

  • magic is more complicated, but once you understand it, its ten times more fun

  • MORE COMPLICATED? I played Yu-Gi-Oh for 5 years, DO NOT KID ME! Yu-Gi-Oh has a chain system, with more ruling complications than magic will ever dream of having, I play magic because it is rather simple, and it is VERY fun, if you enjoy abusing rulings to stack this, then play Yu-Gi-Oh, if you play to play, magic might be the best option.

  • yu gi oh is more complicated than magic?

    are you high?

    ive played yu gi oh for about 2 years and is really simple,the combat in yu gi oh is very basic unlike magic.

    the chain system is like a very simple stack.

  • Look, I will not argue, since I enjoy WoTC's simple rules, but please do not think 2 years of being a newbie lets you know all.

  • you are nuts if you think magic is simpler than yu gi oh

    i play mtg for 5 years,how much do you play mtg?

  • I guess we both have the same outlook on 2 different games, and btw, when you are making 2 hour long arguments on whether solemn judgment's cost is damage, just because some newbie activated barrel behind the door, and whether MST negates, because it destroys, or if a chain is really just 3 chains or six, then, we have complications. But, you probably never delved deep into Yu-Gi-Oh as I have, and I probably never delved deep into magic as have you, also, what is bad about simple? 0-o

  • i play magic competetively for about 2 years and i got 9th(didnt top 8 cause of damn tie breakers) place in my last nationals.

    there is nothing wrong with simple,simple is good,im just saying that yu gi ohs overall gameplay is much much more simple than magics.

    im talking about competetive level of course,ive seen yu gi oh competetive decks and matches between tier 1 decks,and its not even close to magic.

    just look at the age range

    the age for yugioh is 6+

    while for magic its 13+

  • Sadly, age is because look at magic's angels, etc, and then look at yu-gi-oh's, then you will figure out age limits. And same for you, I have seen competitive magic, and I don't feel it is close to Yu-Gi-Oh . But arguing about the arguable 2 best TCGs in North America isn't doing jack shit, and the Johnny in my wants to make combos with the Timmy inside of me :D.

  • agreed. yugioh is just making itself way to complicated now. i had to quit. to much stress at tournaments

  • Lent what the hell?

  • lent is the time between ash whensday and good friday in the easter season

  • blue/green or blue/white for me

  • So you "tap" the land to use their mana and then at the beginning of the next turn you untap them??? or at the end of the turn do you untap them??

  • The beginning of your next turn you untap

  • Your phases in order are Untap, Upkeep, Draw phase, Main phase, Response phase (opponent), and end phase.

  • i love white *.* my pristine angel plus some magics becomes unstopable

  • ^ - ^'

    Started when I was around 7 or 8 (I'm now 18) .. My brother and father got me into it.. I gotta say... the hardest part about magic.. is teaching it to other people lol

    These guys did great ^ - ^'

    Everyone should play!! or at least give it a try!

    (my personal favored color is Green...purely power) [:

  • yup sooooooo green!!!!

  • black is me :D

    ive played for 4 years i jsut barely found this youtube acc lol im a failure o.0

  • said the guy watch Magic videos on youtube haha.

  • man i just started collecting i bought one 15- card booster pack and i only got 1 land card!!! lol

  • Lol buy a deck and some boosters and then upgrade the deck with cards of the booster^^

    Newbie xD

  • dont worry you can buy land for about 10 cents

  • Try buying a full deck, the ones that are made from the beginning for starters, those have quite alot of land in them.

  • Well you only get one land from boosters... If you want lands you gotta get a tournament pack and I recommend to buy a starter deck first.

  • does "Enchant Creature" count as a"Enchantment", i mean, i have a card that makes me draw a card whenever i play a enchantment, but thats the only enchantment i have, i do have lots of "Enchant Creature" however, do those count as enchantments for my cards effect?

  • Yes, Enchant creature counts as an Enchantment.

  • Ahm... sorry ask this, but i don't understand: The Sorcery makes immediatly effect or need to wait a turn, or next turn? Only this I not learn XD

  • sorcery is used on the users turn for the fee they can provide anything the card says this happens when you use the card.

    ex. Stream of life can be used to heal your points by the number of land cards you have out on the field.

  • To put it into context, other than instants, ALL spells (creatures, sorceries, enchantments, auras, and artifacts) can ONLY be played during your main phase unless otherwise stated. Instants can be played at all times (main phase, combat, opponent's turn)

  • can u have all the coulours in a deck plzz answer soon

  • u can do watever u want in deck.

  • thnx now im green red and black

  • I'm just black... It's the best and most powerful

  • i agree but green is pretty powerful also yet fire is pretty week my cuz is all black

  • lol. you're just black XD

  • fag

  • I'm not your dad. That must be why you came out the way you did.

  • dude I'm sorry for posting that, and the other comment, it was a bad day. My bad.Accept my apology?

  • As long as you have the ability to pay for the cost of the spell with the required mana, you can put anything you want in your deck.

  • you must be a real looser to watch something you find stupid

  • Aww you must play this, I'm sorry

  • you 2 must be losers to have a fuck ton of numbers in your names. But Msta is the biggest loser.

  • Yeah, having any more than two numbers in a name is fucking gay! What was I thinking? You must be cool, you only have two!

  • hey when your cool your cool. And i'm cool.

  • this guy on the left reminds me of seth rogan :P

  • lol were you being sarcastic? MTG was released in 1991, a year before I was born, I dunno about you.

    But I do prefer Yu-Gi-Oh, I know more people play MTG but the metagame in Yu-Gi-Oh seems to be more active.

  • Naw, screw both of you! GO FISH IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER!
