Magic the Gathering: Basic Introduction Ft. Nexius (Gameplay/Commentary) Part. 2

[somerandomhunter]

If a creature is reduced to 0/0 from any source does that mean it dies?

[R3dCom3T]

@somerandomhunter Yes any source that reduces a creature to zero is destroyed and sent to the graveyard

[YourFavoriteTroll]

@R3dCom3T only if its the toughness is reduced to 0 , its ok if the attack is 0

[somerandomhunter]

@R3dCom3T Thanks for the reply, the reason I asked is because I'm running an infect deck and I was a bit confused as to what happened to my opponents creatures. I also know that their is a difference between destruction and being put in the graveyard right?

[R3dCom3T]

@somerandomhunter infect can get a bit confusing....as far a destruction....its basically the same unless the card is "exiled". For infect...any damage that creature with infect does to another creature in battle instead it puts -1-1 counters for each point of damage you did. So say you have a 2/2 with infect...that 2 damage is instead converted into -2-2 counters...probably didn't explain all that good lol but should still be understandable

[96Warobelisk]

Picked this up on the Xbox and I absolutely LOVE IT! It is 10x more addicting for me than Yu-Gi-Oh, and I had like 700 plus cards

[Darkarise6]

Hey nexius you think you can teach me mtg just started and seems I have a thing for angels any tips?

[OmenOfTheSouth]

Love this game

[tizky7]

Awesome tutorial, thanks man!

[djo0zla]

Downloaded this game (cracked tho). Kinda boring but pretty cool to learn it ^^

Btw, I still love Yu gi oh much more :D Too bad no more ygo games that r good :|

[Ohushi]

@djo0zla Yugioh is a very dumbed down version of magic

[djo0zla]

@Ohushi It's all about tastes =) But yes, I agree with you and that's why I love playing magic atm (it's more complex etc) :))

[Weldras]

thx nexius you're the man ;)

[MegaValka]

this game is like yu gi oh lol

[NBertuzzi]

yugioh is better ya

[Raptor8762]

@NBertuzzi You crazy. Pokemon cards is where it's at!

[brutalwolf81]

Hey man. You talked me into picking magic back up after about 15 years away. True there were a couple other factors, but you are the instigator, lol. Yes, your vids on it are good. Just wanted to say gg with them and I look forward to the next ones.

[profis3e]

I'm looking to start collecting mtg cards again but I have no clue what booster packs I should buy,can anyone help me?

[D0U8L3G]

@profis3e You should probably start with Inistrad and the core set. Stick with them at first.

[LethalBlowToTheFace]

Nexius what is your deck ? Mono Blue Mono Black etc or do you have blended ??

[TheCatpwnzor]

mages mages whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do when blizz nerf you.....oh wait that would never heppen -.-

[OtherworldJudge89]

Man this game looks interesting. I might start collecting/playing now I reckon.

[Snubsters]

Oomg I wanna make a deck show me how :(

[96Warobelisk]

They should make a Magic: The Gathering show. Only reason being, at least a cartoon or something helps explain the rules better through entertaining demonstration.

I remember back in my Yu-Gi-Oh days, couldn't understand shit from the manual from 4-5 episodes of the show and I was off.

[Nezziclive]

Nexius, i understand your busy with helping swifty and work and all but i really enjoy your videos and it makes me sad to check for a new video everyday and not see a new one after 2 weeks. Like i said i completely understand that your busy and i can wait but it would be nice to see another awesome video. (: thanks, Nick

[dd410]

lol thats great game

[Westenful]

I don't play, but i still like the video! :-)

[TWoods007ii]

Your videos seriously got me into this game. Lookinh forward to #3!! We want new vid!!!!!

[SuperRicky511]

where is part 3!!!!!

[ahiraldomusic]

Thanks nexius for this great tutorials! cant wait for the next one!

[IPuGBTT]

nice man keep it up

[cupcakesinrealm]

btw u suck at magic nexius, luv ur wow vids but yea

[achilies555]

After watching your MTG videos I've managed to get myself addicted. I don't have much money or time to play but I try. With the new expansion coming out so soon, do you know if the video game featured in your videos will have some sort of DLC to support the upcoming new cards? Or will there be a whole new game. Sorry for such a dumb question but I felt your word would be better than most.

[CocoCrispy101]

What do you have to do in order to play Magic on the computer. Can someone please respound to this comment, and tell me because I really want to play Magic but I have no cards right know. So I would like to play on the computer. :D

[Roflmaomaolol]

@CocoCrispy101 get a paysafe card or any other payment method and get it on steam. search steam on google, download it, install it, make an account, log in and search the game. Finally buy it. Simple

^^

[Acegro]

@CocoCrispy101 you can buy it on steam! for....7€ / 7$ around this I think

[Riggnarok]

@CocoCrispy101 Get Magic Workstation or Cockatrice. I use Cockatrice and it has alot of the cards ;o

[Narozzy]

@CocoCrispy101 get steam, buy duels of the planeswalkers. there

[1Zippiz1]

@CocoCrispy101 Buy it on steam!

[jattaj7]

@CocoCrispy101 buy magic the gathering 2012 on steam but be warned even if you meet the sys requiremtns it sometimes doesnt run no one knows why

[cyonnius]

@CocoCrispy101 i think hes using steam

[shinypokemanz]

@CocoCrispy101 steam

[OmenOfTheSouth]

@CocoCrispy101 i responded :}

[Ohushi]

@CocoCrispy101 to play magic online u can download MTGO(magic the gathering online) or buy the planeswalker games they have.

on mtgo u basically play magic how it is played in real life.

[MaliciousIntent83]

@CocoCrispy101 a credit card, MTGO online account and money to buy the cards, because it isn't cheap. although it is cheaper now then it was a year ago.

[KimAagaard]

@CocoCrispy101 You go on Steam and buy/download it :) Think theres still a free demo for it, so you can see if it's a game for you :)

[Mates1500]

@CocoCrispy101 Search for Magic The Gathering on steam, just buy the duels of the planeswalkers 2012 for like 8 or 10 bucks I think? And you're done, you can play tutorials, online etc. The only bad thing about it is very limited customization (you can customize like only 20 cards in the deck and change them for others)

[kaze56]

@CocoCrispy101 buy it on steam.

[zusuky21]

looks fun :D

[zeno0b]

this is like yu-gi-oh lol :D

[V3racious]

very entertaining nex!

[Nyaru267]

show vintage some love =)

[dharrer78]

Nexius i played in middle and high school i had a 2 year collection stolen in 8th grade. now im 24. freebies are awesome but can you show how a new player should get started again to compete with the community?..  Show how to make a basic deck with a budget where u can compete!

[Thurukis]

NEXIUS you should give out boosters as prizes :D I love magic but my deck is old cause I can't afford to buy cards all the time. :( Burn deck ftw! :D

[KleptoooGaming]

how long has magic been out and is it dieing down? because i dont wanna get into something to just have the new card game come out

[HungLoSack]

@KleptoooGaming Been out since 1993 and it's still going strong.

[nomchews]

@KleptoooGaming It's been out for 18 years but it's not dying anytime soon. It's still the number one most played card game in the world and 30th September is the full release of the an all new expansion (Innistrad). If you're just beginning don't bother with anything BESIDES Standard as Legacy, Extended etc. will cost a lot more and are overall harder to play. To make a good standard deck from scratch buy an intro deck, boosters and buy some singles (Might cost ~$60 for an above average deck).

[NotGamingNever]

ugh its difficult making a deck, trying to make a white/green deck only using 2012 cards ._."

[GeOhDe001]

I love how your crappy pc person attacked you with a 2/1 and you had a 3/3 and he did no combat trick. So he just let his guy die. LOL. I like how you're putting these videos out. CHECK OUT my videos of magic the gathering! Its a little more advanced!

[Nrsiffy]

Would be nice if the combat were better, like the creatures start to fight eachother and the most powerfull 1 win. So it been like a small movie at every combat.

[mxcrnag20]

I've been folowing Swifty for quite some time through his Wow videos, and more recently his irl channel. I decided to check out your channel, and I'm very excited now. My 11 year old just asked me two days ago if he could start playing Magic. I thought it would be good for him, and now...you sir, have provided a platform for some father/son time doing something he's interested in. Thank you Nexius!

[vengerad47]

What happens if two cards fight each other with same stats ex: 3/3 vs 3/3..... they both die?

[Omin4aus]

@vengerad47 Yeah they both die, there are exceptions, if one of the creatures has first strike it will kill the other card before it even hits the Firststrike card, but i think Nexius will get into that later..

[Atrosity15]

Very interesting, I think I might pick up magic, that looks really fun, awesome videos btw, more please :)

[CocoCrispy101]

More magic videos please :)

[SilentHunterKiller]

very intresting looking forward to see some more!

[seanjon06]

Do you have to pay to download Magic on the computer???

[Debowas]

good to see you back man! are you still going to be doing wow vids. on your previous vids explaining you were moving and stuff you said you were going to release more. hope to see them because they were interesting and awesome to watch

[AaronAwhYeah]

I don't play MtG but I do play WoW TCG and it's very fun

[Houldey]

Looks like there's a nice amount of depth to it, I doubt I can afford to actually get into the card game itself, but MTG for the PC I will most definitely be checking out! Cheers for the insight into it dude :)

[WhatACufuffle]

what do the two numbers below the players portrait and above the opponents portrait mean?

[casseerole]

@WhatACufuffle Smaller number is hand size, larger number is deck size.

[syntex88]

cool pc game,maybe ill buy that :)

[Kakashihmf]

So Nexius, I have some cards from almost 4 year back when I casually played MTG, dont want the cards anymore, if you are interested you can PM me the name of the "rare" cards and Ill be willing to donate them =)

[cipendejsik]

nexius vs hutch in magic the gathering would be so epic!!

[Spionagemaus]

what is the name of the music at the very beginning can anyone tell me pls?

[MrUnholyheals]

is this game free?

[deamos]

Nexus haven't played MtG since the 90's!! Almost tempted to play again! Keep it real and doing what you love!

[lurgasonx]

my elf deck dominates all

My planeswalker Nissa makes it win x100

[jetmarlin]

MAGIC best card game in the world,35 years old and i still playing thid amazing game ,i think we want more videos about magic nexius:)

[JaviStavi]

[KnockCZ]

[tornadao]

@cinosxx its WAY better and yes, you can find lots of magic player in europe!

MTG is a great game!

[iLvDI]

My comp is sooo loud too

[haloman6996]

if someone was to pick this game up tomorrow, how do you suggest them to get started with building a deck?

[ShikaiTheGoblin]

i wanto start playing magic:P Nexius how should i start do u think? i don't have the biggest economy and no exp in the game:P

[UnderTheRoseX]

[94tedbear]

i love MTG. its so fun!!

[cinosxx]

So basicly this is Yu-gi-oh in new form ? i have to try it !) can i buy cards in Europe ?

[gothicel]

@cinosxx

MGT is the card game every other games currently COPIES in format if not in content. It's like Everquest when comparing to WoW or RIFT or Aion.

[cinosxx]

So basicly this is Yu-gi-oh in new form ?? i have to try it !) can i buy cards in Europe ?

[zvakii]

This was interesting, but please don't stop making wow videos!

[126643]

[synysterdaryl1]

Ok now I have to start playing magic

[tomjw90]

Loved the video!! keep up the good work, and give us more magic!!!!!!

[xXFirzenXx]

I bet in the old days Nexius used Magic Workstation

[NubSkullProductions]

Looks a little like Duel Masters...

[F4n4t1cGamer]

@NubSkullProductions Dual Masters is a ripoff from Magic.

[NubSkullProductions]

@F4n4t1cGamer I'm saying about the mana, summoning sickness etc.

[F4n4t1cGamer]

@NubSkullProductions Yes I know. I used to play Duel Masters back in the days. But Duel Masters, just used some of the mechanics from Magic.

[GromHellScream666]

Fuckin Love Magic <3

[901azn]

;]

[vullrath]

I'm an old school magic the gathering player... I own a rare Sliver deck. I played back in the 90's. I own quite a few rare summon legend cards and am trying to look up their cost. If you are interested in buying them for cheap let me know. :)

[vullrath]

@vullrath oh yea some card names are birds of paradise... and Commander Greven il-Vec... I have no idea the prices of these cards. I also own a black lotus.

[tssdemoniaco]

I haven't played since 7th edition, but these videos are making me miss it :D <3 Nexius.

[strutspojken1337]

I've been waiting you nexius

FINALLY A NEW VIDEO!!

[lethaldose09]

Interesting xD was a bit confusing at 1st but... Nexius explains it quite well

[zoccer7]

[zvakii]

Welcome back nexius! <3

[Gamingtestteam]

I get a little Yu-Gi-Yo Idea with this game :D

[SquashyJohnson]

You should have yelled BOOM at the end when Sora died.

[jiffycrimso]

if anybody needs help on how to play magic the gathering, subscribe to wizardsthegathering, and look at their video playlist that teaches u how to play thumbs up so people see

[Str8Boofin]

Wind tunnel at boeing. I lul'd

[MrPyro783]

[Amiralkhatib96]

This looks like yu - gi - oh :D

[MrSpeedykillz]

This seem just like duel masters

[Kardall]

Ok really? I didn't know they made an updated version!?!?!?!?!

I had the original Duel of the Planeswalker games, and they don't work well on my new pc's, so now that I've bought this, I can get back into the game :)

I don't have the extra cash to stack up the cards anymore (life hey) but ya. I'll definitely be on playing around :D

[Borindir]

I've played a little wow tcg , i miss these games..to expensive to be honest

[ZaburFTW]

i'm really interested in this game, thx for starting at the beginning for us novices.

[thewho271]

Magic has always interested me, i cant wait for more videos!

P.S. i downloaded and tried the duels of the planeswalker demo and couldnt get past the first mage... on lowest difficulty.... GG

[TskGamer]

T.O... this game is amazingly simple.

[yoohoosk8r]

im like the rest, i never played cuz i never understood, i do now, and i feel like blowing my paycheck on creating my first deck lol, curse u nexius

[PROMyLoL]

Aaahhhwww :D Yeah my subbox has a delay.

I am very happy for the video ^^ Keep it up Nexius LOVVE YOUR VIDEOS !

[Mertukani57]

Did swifty die?

[KhromeOnline]

I like the 'building your deck' concept

[chiko55]

damn ! all my friends play magic... never understood it... thanks to your viedo i do now!!!!!!

[narutolover101]

i think i might just stick to yu gi oh

[Croltown]

YEAH GREEN DECK RULES!

Playing Green Brute force here ^___^! ;D

[MrMaxknd]

This game is very similar with DuelMasters, I love that game :D

[TheRealChaotic]

My friends use to play this game years ago, I never understood it even when they tried to explain it to me to get me into it, props to Nexius for doing what they couldn't in hours in under 13 minutes

[X0Rcss]

Check out my channel for Feral PvP-videos. 2k rating +

TTTT <3

TY <3

[Nightdragon23]

informative :)

[Omin4aus]

Your video just got me very interrested in Magic the gathering ! More Magic video's Nexius <3 !!

[Illy3Luis]

@Omin4aus same here lol im just reading these old cards I had from 1990

[Omin4aus]

@Illy3Luis i just found my old card i had from when i was a little brad and had no clue what this game was about, i found some very interresting cards that might have a lot of value ! Amazing ! i'm gonna start collect this again !

P.S. If anyone wanna play some magic the gathering, hit me up on steam, Steam account name: Delle89

[EmoKidNotReally]

@Omin4aus I know right, my bros would talk about the game when i started playing yugioh and i was like... 'it looks like shit' ..but this actually seems to be a game that i kinda wonder why it would have lost its popularity so much? i dont see magic booster packs in stores anymore there hard to find around where i am.

unless i mean ya go to toysrus but yeah definaiely not walmart or something

[ShuShu3131]

You, sir Nexius, are very brave to teach MTG on a youtube channel. I bow to your courage...

[MyMantenna]

Nexius do you ever play MTGO? Been playing online for years made me a much better player.

[LoopyDoodler]

bought this game a while ago. Was addicted for a few days, then stopped playing.

[thestreak9]

i still dont understand,but ill continue to watch as the game looks very interesting

[liliena235]

although i dont care about the cards (i play wow)

im glad nexius is back on his own his own channel !

good shit

[Smyfhdewd]

this looks even more boring than pokemon tcg lol

[MrEvilPookie]

bought this game on steam a few days ago because i saw all the talk about MTG you were doing its a lot of fun. hope to learn some more advanced stuff in the future so keep it up!

[MerciIous]

@MrEvilPookie haha, I bought it too. $10 aint too bad. Also one of the most in-depth card games I've seen. Took me a while to beat the first planewalker, but now I'm smooth sailing. Awesome game to waste time with, but I don't think I'll ever actually get into colecting the actual cards.

[VoLcaMaTic]

Yeah i'll stick to wow..

[bendrix92]

watching this has made me see how badly the WoWTCG kinda copied magic. Was wondering what your opinion on the WoWTCG is? I noticed the biggest differences is that in WoWtcg your hero determines your health and then the resource cards are generally usable quests or any face down card.

[sgonged]

20 life?!? I have 100k in wow.

[sgonged]

20 life?!? I have 100k in wow.

[8element]

I remember when I was 13 yo playing this ^^

[yenndimak]

nex are you going to be attending any game shops for the pre-release events of innistrad?

[MrBoxstacker]

hey dude what deck do you play irl?



[TheWaterbender90]

This actually looks interesting. The Moment you showed Water and Light in your last video I just got very interested in starting to play this card game. Yu-Gi-Oh was fun but I feel Magic will give me more of a challenge. Thanks!

[ZeekyBoogyBoog]

i never liked card games, till now :O

kinda i guess :P

tho id never fine anyone whod like it :3

[TommyJ0h]

Looks fun, actually. In a way, I guess :p

Is it free, or?

[164dragonmaster]

well at least swifty cant ruin these cards lol

[Heat0Legend]

This kind of remind me of Duel Masters.... I used to play that when I was younger. Magic was never as popular where I was from.

[normandis]

awsome

[MLKshit]

Hiiiiiii Nexius!

[iiSocrates]

Pretty cool, but I don't want to be that nerdy. :P

[Smartguy11100]

Awesome. :D. A lot like the TCG, right?

[ichimurakun]

This game is made of win :)

[Physdog]

Wtf is with all the double-posting?

[idr4life7]

sounds like a different language to me

but still glad the nexius is back
