Mirrodin Besieged War League

[bbbbbb222222]

what the fuck is this crap?

[BarrenCheezyGlory]

When the fuck did i start playing pokemon???

[Aazhyd]

Scars of Mirrodin is the worst Magic set EVER! Except if Mirrodin Besieged is released, then we've got a new winner!

Wizards, shame on you!

[Barzza]

sta bien q se lo tomen para la risa, pero en vez de hacer esta porqueria podrian haber hecho un cortometraje de animacion digital sobre la guerra, una historieta, o un website dedicado a dar noticias sobre la guerra, pero no esta wea estupida

Hacen excelentes ilustraciones, ahora hicieron algo realmente entretenido, y la embarran con esta tontera, t creo si fuera un sketch que lo hiciera un grupo de fans, pero wizards, un poco de respeto por favor!!

[vashthefunker]

This becomes a little bit more entertaining if you turn on auto transcribe,

"Onto Membership topless dot com to schedule a report early."

"so until we know we just took her over and enemies sticker looks like you took the Schedules and fire exit favor - many words for the folks back home."

Longfellow Couldn't have said better himself indeed.

[helmutlvx]

If the muppets had been replaced by say, people in Myr costumes or something relevant to the set and/or the game, I would enjoy this.

But no. Fuck you, Wizards.

[cheesegod1337]

hhahahaha look at all this nerd rage

[Guaranteed2fail]

Stickers!!! I hated those beautiful full art cards!! Thanks Wizards! P.S. Standard is super balanced!! / Sarcasm

[FreshDeus]

so they stopped the MPR program to produce fuckin stickers and war league posters...NICE wizards! nice

[PersonaFan12]

Dear Mark Rosewater and Wizards Marketing,

Stop forcing your terrible ideas down our throats. We are not children and we are not the YuGiOh crowd. This video is patronizing and a waste of all our time. We want to play a communal card game, not be talked at by a muppet designed for 5 year olds.

By the way, Scars is a terrible set and a poor, lazy rehash of a thematically dried up storyline. I know at least a dozen players who have quit because it is so weak and uninspired. Cheers Dick!

[1969Johanson]

I wanted to go to the Mirrodin Besieged Prerelease.

But when I saw this video, I figured out that it would be much better to die.

Thanks Wizards, you killed one of your Players.

[Kuraskvids]

You know what?! In the last pre-release you charged the packs at my store(that you normally give for free) without telling him and nearly put him out of buisness.

Now with the faction packs ,he doesnt like the idea and doesnt want to do the pre-release as well as now he wants to close the store. I hope your happy wizards!  n o o n

mHm ____ mHm

[Jhimbob]

Naaaahhhhh, wizards. Please don't do stuff like this.

[mark6626]

So this is supposed to appeal to magic players, or EVEN get ppl into magic? lmfao. shit like this gives magic a even more nerdy image. way to go wizards.

[GodlyMind]

what the fuck?

[ksong3000]

I don't know a single Magic player that would be interested in an event without a cash prize or promo card. Why don't they make it so that if you lose to an opposing faction, the other guy gets rip up your crappy deck in front of you and then berate your play-skill as he shreds each and every card? I'd play that league for sure.

[drelt]

really really bad, not in a good way

[MonarchMagician]

This is so bad, this gave me cancer. I hope you enjoy killing human beings, Wizards.

[jscohen]

You people complaining and bashing the puppets have no concept of fun, whimsy, or adventure, and Magic is going to die because people like you are making up more and more of its fanbase.

[cubemaster1728]

@jscohen by 'people like you' do you mean people who aren't 12? Of course we understand fun, that's why we play the game. This is just stupid. Also, a lot of the anger is being directed not at this vid in particular, but at the set as a whole due to its lack of constructed potential and not enjoyable limited format.

[Karuson20xx]

wtf is this I don't even-

[MadRck]

Leagues are fine on MODO, but in stores? will just be a mess.

Next time they better talk to there player base before doing something that will have no backing

[GolfVictim]

Way to embarrass your player base, WOTC.

[Hammereddrunk]

They were using a tape deck. Barbarians.

[phillyphan32992]

I'm I the only one who actually thought this was kinda funny?

[plaguekeeper]

lame.

[bigfiber]

All I heard was that the reported totally hooked up with the muppet chick. Hawt. I'll be in the league, good times! Mirran4life!!

[goluphi]

Dear Wizards: fire your Marketing department.

[mOeRuToRa]

Now they need to re-implement leagues on MODO.

[coloxoiturra]

wtf is this !!

[RunRuhn]

I think I cried inside. Just a little.

[burek277]

this was alright

[EternalForestFel]

Stupid Garbage. We're not all 12. Stop treating us like we are.

[wjlaboy10]

What's this? Grown men taking a card game too seriously? Take it easy. MTG is about "The Gathering", about having fun with friends and make new friends at FNMs. I can't believe some of you are pooping all over this.

[WolvesOdyssey]

someone should make a youtube poop out of this. it's THAT good

[Goofybag]

@WolvesOdyssey

sorry i thought this was a youtube poop.

[Kuraskvids]

Go Phyrexia XD!

[billysuperninja]

this is awesome!!!!!1!!1!!1

[jimmyboy513]

Wizards is full of fuzzies

[gardanime]

Just give us a press release... :)

[MrDodavehu]

Why so much puppet hate? I thought this was way better than just issuing a memo on what game stores should do. I thought the anchor guy was funny in that over-the-top, cheesy, Mentos kind of way (which I'm betting was on purpose).

--

[zturchansky]

My god, this pretty much ensure I won't be playing in a league. The muppets might be there, and that'd be creepy.

[IkazuchiNYC]

this is sad :S

[abasalom]

wtf that was shit...muppets? COME ON

[burndtgeek]

Why? Why does it have to be puppets? This saddens me.

[blutundeisen]

PHYREXIANS GOOOOO man i hope more PHYREXIA Im bored of mirrodin!

[PlowThrough8]

Infect Is For Children I Want Broken Artifacts Go Mirrodin

[ryfralic]

Just absolutely awful.

[tippmannNC828]

I think I might just stop playing magic because of this. We are not little children. You stop giving my magic player rewards for this garbage?

[bbbbbb222222]

@tippmannNC828 They are trying to aim the game at much younger people. WoC is trying to make the game more aimed to kids, like Pokémon cards. This is one of the obvious proofs, also note how rules have changed to make the game simpler. Like taking out mana burn, simplifying damage distribution in the combat phase and not printing anymore some abilities that were a little bit complicated.

[j12601]

Kudos to anyone who got through more than a minute of this.

[monolith94]

what the heck is that boom box doing there?

[demonted99]

Well Fail commercial is well FAIL......Sad to see WotC Fail so much at commercials.

[ElBimboLeal]

I liked the commercial, actually not the best of the world, but its pretty good for being a WoTC comercial

[uiuiuiseraph]

best part of the video was mark rosewaters face ^^

[ZelosX]

Not bad, but the puppets were a little too much, trying to avoid the "Look at Michele's bewbs, we want her on every vid" "Micheles ugly my eyes are bleeding" etc. sruff we get all day on Ytube?.

[cujobo]

Good to know they have a sense of humor....but this was just terrible!

[HomingMysticVilian]

Sorry Wizard . . . I just could'nt see the whole video . . . Cannot stand a muppet saying "entire cities slain" reffered to phyrexians. It is absolutely wrong . . .

[KuR0s3N]

that was cute... thanks wizards.

[Jur2225]

Hilarious :). Phyrexia wins... :)

[TheOneMetalwarrior]

So bad, so funny.

[EgMadsen]

I really dont hope this was where the budget for the rewards went !! :/

[TheRahapuu]

One of the worst ads i have ever seen...

[Supertrekkie4]

GO PHYREXIA! I WRECKS YA! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ringotomb]

wtf muppetts

[manudosde]

Terrible, just terrible.

[danbarrettuk]

I thought it had some great little moments - acknowledging Rosewater's insanity, changing Wuberg's title during the broadcast, etc

[eXXa1987]

What the hell does the Muppets have to do with anything?

[WolvesOdyssey]

this is so bad that it's so good. lol

[VWLAL]

That was crappy

[JarethVarant]

WotC just broke my concept of fail.

[lurikeenrock]

nothing about that was funny, someone tell him his eyes arent level. Do MTG players really look like that? Im ashamed

[lurikeenrock]

nothing about that was funny, someone tell him his eyes arent level

[6Anonymous6]

this is one japanese chandra away from being the best thing wotc ever produced

[zbvm]

...the fuck!?!

[jwmints]

hmmm... something about the setting here (1:54) seems awfully fake.

i wonder what it is

[Nephy3107]

@jwmints you mean the relatively normal men and women sitting at the table? Don't get me wrong, I play MtG too and I am far from normal...

[jwmints]

@Nephy3107 no, just the fact that there is an abnormally high ratio of women at the table, by which i mean any number above zero

[Irgamerhearmerawr]

lol wow this is amazing, i wanted to hear mark spoil some cards :(

[Irgamerhearmerawr]

lol wow this is amazing

[jonathanmarkte]

I really don't understand why they had to use puppets when they had real humans at their disposal. Sucky but still informative.  I hope they get the information across.

[adriank1223]

meh, kinda painful..

[zombiechildx]

That is only funny in its amount of fail.

[museminstrel]

D:

[grarx]

bad marketing will always love magic though -,-!!!!

[cjva1688]

sometimes I kinda see the likelyness between Commodore and Wizard of the Coast.

Great product, crappy marketing.

That said, this was kinda funny tho. =)

[VelcroMan]

goddammit.

[twitchster77]

fuck you too wizards. . .fuck you too.

[raiken821]

WHAT THE FUCK!!! THEY CANCELED PLAYER REWARDS THE YEAR I JOIN AND HAVE BEEN TO ENOUGH EVENTS TO GET SOME CARDS, THEN THEY MAKE MAGIC INTO HORDE OR alliance, MAKE US PICK A SIDE, AND THEN THROW MUPPETS AT A DEMOGRAPHIC THAT IS ATLEAST 13-70 YEAR OLDS. Yes, I've seen a 70 year old man play magic....he kicked my ass...

[TheReaperThanatos]

This is worse than Bob from accounting. They could've just made an Arcana with all the relevant information in text form.

[ImYourManna]

Where was Count Von Count, Bert, Grover, and the Cookie Monster???

[WickedDealer]

This would be okay if your core audience was fucking six. However when most magic players are between the ages of 15-35 this shit becomes FAILURE on the level of Fuck You.

[LordMigit]

whaaaaaat thhhhhee fuuuuuuuck?

[MagicPlayor]

It seemed promising until the WUBRG Muppet. but still, good ideas a brewin here.

[TheHelldragon]

I kind of laughed when I saw the random Muppet. Does Elmo play white weenie on the side or anything?

[FearedBliss]

@TheHelldragon Elmo has a red deck.

[TheHelldragon]

@FearedBliss Ehhhh, he's too nice to play red...unless he just does it for the color.

Then Bert upgrades it to goblin rush and oh God

[amunra666]

DAMMIT Where is the spoiler!!!

[Vicron]

welp the beginning was dumb.

[thegriffin421]

ROFL from 3:15-3:20

[thegriffin421]

can someone please tell me the whole concept about why they're fighting each other, ...

[TheRealDysune]

This sounds like fun. Who's playing in Georgia?

[darkobiwan]

@TheRealDysune

We're playing in Milledgeville at Good Games.

[thegriffin421]

i guess you're right Gnasty0, it is quite enjoyable

[GNasty0]

Haha I think you guys are being too harsh, I kinda liked it! Lame? Yes, a little bit. But I still found it enjoyable!

[Netshark0]

I think they have officially ran out of ideas. 

[truRAR]

What about Mark Rosewater spoiling the next 3 years of cards? Seriously had me totally excited!

[MiracleOverloading]

Come on WOTC.

Go back to the R&D Testing Lab commercials.

Those were funny.

[MiracleOverloading]

WIZARDS DOT COM SLASH LOCATOR?

[tubetroll140]

Oh god, Wizards. You can still delete this and minimize the damage. There's still time. Someone needs to be fired, though.

[Namillus]

This makes me embarrassed to play Magic.

What's next, D&D commercials in the style of Broadway musicals?

[Andyman264]

Wuberg! 

[dar482]

This is as bad as Girugamesh.

[Shugohakku]

tbh, funniest thing was when rosewater wasnt able to spoil the cards XD

[DarkManuel93]

Jeez i missed wotc adds like this one, yeah maybe its stupid but its soo funny and better than those things of here i rule that make look magic palyers as psycho people lol

[Scopesightzx]

get out of here manaburn! you are a thing of the past!

[GlamMetalBrian]

Look at this, then look at all will be one/we will endure, then look back it this. You will probably end up discarding at least two cards.

[vankilsing]

is michelle a camel? I like how there is a pretty attractive girl at 1:58 , too bad no girls like that come to the card shop I fnm at...

[sciencemile]

This is horrible <_< I love it.

[Slagomancer]

This is so awful it's amazing, much like Nick Cage

[notme222]

Besieged War League? Sounds fun. Can't wait to play it on Mtg:Online!

[rabblerouser]

go phyrexia I rexiya

[parade0014]

This is awful in all the right ways.

[hungsolow123]

They spelled it "WUBERG" with the extra "E". Well, "E" is for Eggplant and it is purple... ergo, we will have the new color purple created thanks to the Phyrexians!

[Jomon]

lol no one wants to hear about the next 3 years of cards

[xtxoxpxd]

thanks for giving me the perfect counterargument whenever someone tries to argue that magic isn't a children's card game.

[teebeartheunicorn]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only female here. And now I'm gonna get a ton of comments from nerdy teenage boys trying to flirt with me.

[ratchet1215]

I've always said Wizards of the Coast marketing stuff should include more Sesame Street puppets.

[nesthead98]

lolwut?

[manashark]

Wizards sure payed the kicker cost on this one. Not something you want to replicate or buyback, but a good idea overall. WE WILL ENDURE!!!!!!!

[proffessors]

Uhhh.... Wizards needs a new marketing department...

[Ninja13odDoom]

@proffessors why? we are going to play it anyways... and I thought it was funny-ish ...

[PlowThrough8]

Whats Wrong With That Dudes Eyes

[Chachec]

its awesome, cant wait to win the war for phyrexians !! :D

[jamesfullard]

Where I can appreciate wotc TRYING to be creative and cute .... this was not the way to go with that idea.

[CoasterphansCubes]

somewhere...a man is getting kicked in the groin!

On another note, this war league stuff sounds really fun!

[EnlightenedTutor]

I'm pretty sure this video is aimed at store owners to get a league started or to let players know about it so they can ask their store to start one. So you really need to look at it with that in mind.

[PObserver]

I don't like this series.

[Purgatog]

This was actually very funny, while still being a three minute ad for their stuff. I still watched it! Well done, Wizards, I like it when companies don't take themselves too seriously.

[pullmyfingerr]

Soooo.....

....

... What? Does this mean MaRo is a lying bastard and we will be able to choose the end of the set, or that this is just a little overgame to add depth to the story?

[TheWarpGhost]

A MTG video that doesn't take itself seriously? But magic fantasy card games are srs bsns! XD

Now if you'll excuse me, I hear someone getting kicked in the groin...

[NavariteAzuth]

...assine 

[iCobalt]

Okay, so 5 letters from WUBERG are the colors of mana. What's the E????

[BobReefer]

@iCobalt eldrazi?

[Kuschelweych]

@iCobalt It's written WUBRG (*W*hite bl*U*e *B*lack *R*ed *G*reen) but spoken like "whooberg", which makes sense for a last name of a reporter...

[thundasc]

@iCobalt its how you would pronounce the word "wubrg" spelled phonetically (the way it sounds)

[pleravens]

They need to have an MTGO version of this somehow for those who are not able to join the front lines.

[Ballinlolz]

Remember when we all complained about terrible quality videos?

Look at this quality.

[Ballinlolz]

So cheesy, Its great.

[theonlyfatman9908]

so why are videos like this in high definition when all the pro tour videos are just the worst quality available

[TheWarpGhost]

@theonlyfatman9908 Because those ones are designed to be streamed live via the net, this is not.

[triggern7x]

I can't show this video to friends that are just getting into magic.

[Coleslayer9]

This is the first time in a long time I gave a damn about what Wizards is trying to tell us.

[tito9090]

GO PHYREXIA! I REX-IA!

[gojimbob]

wow thats a jace level troll vid

[rammstein99835]

lololololol

[drummerboysareawesom]

Now this is the kind of propaganda we needed to get into Iraq.

[MentalFistPump]

"Go Phyrexia?" What a nerd. If it wasn't for another appearance of the muppet Wuberg this would be just embarassing..

[TheRealCakekey]

@MentalFistPump Obvious troll is obvious.

[KilliaK]

Lol, I knew WOTC had some muppets contracted. This proves it.

[manashark]

LMFAO WUBERG is back!!!!

[thugsherrin]

WTF?? strange lol

[yuksh]

more spoilers, less war hype

[EricCha89]

LOOOOOL

[gaminggod623]

How is spoiling bad news?

[Hlaford347]

lmao. . . .
