Learn to Play Magic: The Gathering, Part 2: The Five Colors of Mana

[killer998]

I wish the different colors of mana made a real difference in the game.. now its just "Primeval Titan!!!"

[bestgamer2112]

@killer998 if you are bad

[killer998]

@bestgamer2112 You're right, that's why Primeval Titans always seem to show up in the Top 8 a lot in the Pro Tours, must be because i'm bad.

[Nedspodos]

Thumbs up if you no longer play MTG because other players do NOT abide by the rules...even when you show them how.

[NPslayer21]

I learned to play with this, im proud to say it

[paulyhart]

dillons ninety degrees is everyone else's sixty degrees.

[NightKill55]

reminds me of duel masters 

[VladtheImpaler8]

@NightKill55 I thought that I was the only one that had that view

[GoldenGal42]

@NightKill55 The author of YGO was a Magic fan, so that's what he based the game on.

[nixX258]

dylans head is unproportional to the rest of the body

[vyzyl1]

just tell us the freaking rules

[Sabedoza16]

Did I get this right? I'm not too sure which strategics each color is best for:

White-Army and swarm?

Blue- Mental Strategy?

Black- Sacrifice to win?

Red- hack and slash?

Green- reinforcing creatures for more opponent damage?

[Soulforge00]

@Sabedoza16 Each color has a fair bit of diversity. It really depends on what cards you look at.

[Sabedoza16]

@Soulforge00 I looked around and decided on the Red/White Dark Ascension. 

[uMacBrah]

Just started playing Magic and just got out of Yugioh...God am I glad I'm not getting first turn one shotted anymore -__-

[MrJuiceFreeze]

wohohoho

[Reprobacy]

I keep changing my decks around but a blue control deck is what I run most of the time.. Been building a vampire deck recently and my EDH deck with Karador, Ghost Chieftain Commander (got it from the precon deck) built an infect deck for my gf it confused her at first but I think she gets it since she has proliferated me to death before x.x

[CharinZain]

Sun's Zenith bitch.

[AxleTrade]

I use white green

[chandlerisbetter]

@AxleTrade White green infect :P

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

I bet I could write a better script.

[saltersta]

Tapping that land like a DJ.

[steven13241]

I use a red-black deck

[CFReplay]

I use a green deck

[blattermaster]

i use a white-blue pacifism/angel/mind deck thats 90 cards,apprx. 40 commons, 20 uncommons, 15 rares, and 5 mythic rares. its a very good deck.and i use it in tournaments, and with my buddies.

[canadianhockeynut]

this game is really awesome,I have alot of questions!

For certain Sorcery and Instant stuff, do you have to play it with the same element? Like a fire character and a water Sorcery card? Will that work, or is it not aloud?

What are the numbers in the corner of the cards? like for the Village Bell Ringer, it says 1/4 at the bottom right corner.

What are those numbers in the circle's at the top right corner?

These are a few of the questions i have. Please answer them

[gcoscolluela]

@canadianhockeynut In the upper right corner is the mana cost. If the cost is: 2RED you will need to tap one mountain and 2 other lands (doesn't matter which) to add the 2 colorless. Now for creatures. Creatures have numbers at the bottom right of the card. The 1 is it's power and the 4 is it's toughness. Power is the amount of damage the creature will deal to a player or another creature. Toughness is how much damage the creature can take before it dies. Pm me if you need anything else.

[MusicMan53100]

"Red wants you to stop thinking and start smashing things" Can you say 'Half-Orc Barbarian'?

[RJElite]

Lets look at the color pie, you see here you have 4 colors, and one color, blue, that wins.

[animensane1995]

Im not afraid 2 say it:

Im white

Im nerdy

And love this game

[Martalcody]

is there a limit to the number of creatures or lands I can have in play at one time?

[FanOfKOTOKO]

@Martalcody Unless there's a card in play saying you can't, no. You can have as many creatures or lands in play as you want.

[PlayingwithBuderus]

i somehow feel like i want to punch them in the face... dunno why....

[ShroomPapa]

No yu-gi-oh is like Magic.

[Kirixas]

@ShroomPapa compared to yu-gi-oh... In my perspective, as a gamer; Yu-Gi-Oh is like a Turn-Based Strategy game while Magic is more like a Real-Time Strategy Game. Big difference but I'm gonna play both.

[TheAnimusification]

@Kirixas How is it real-time, it's turn-based. Explain yourself, please.

[Kirixas]

@TheAnimusification I'm more focused on the concept of mana(Resources) Uses of summoning creatures(Recruiting), and the use of battle, battle is in turn but it still has the base components of a real-time like move, attack, can't defend if your attacking. It is still a card game that is turn based nuntheless. The basis is like a rts but it is still a game where you're only allowed to do things on your turn and something you can only do in their turn.

[Kirixas]

@Kirixas Part two~ Real-time is still a game where you play what you can in real-time. The game is strategy and in my perspective, real-time makes you think a lot more under pressure and you can mess up under that pressure. It is still a turn based game because it is a card game. The thinking under extreme pressure isn't there to some extent but there is still a lot of pressure.

[Kirixas]

@TheAnimusification Part 3~ It is still a hard game. I love those types of games but I relate to rts because of:

LP:20: Relation: Base Structures

Mana:Relation: Resources

Creatures: Relation:Soldiers

Spells: Relation: Abilities or such

Planeswalker: Relation: Commander/General/Hero

[elladar2]

@ShroomPapa ARE YOU INSANE?! -.-

[Cobac]

@ShroomPapa ....?what do you mean ?

[Baseballluver77]

so its like yu-gi-oh

[watercrystalfairy]

You guys are waaaay better at explaining this than my boyfriend hahahaja

[ksn2632]

1:44 thats what she said

[nogoodnam3sleft]

Black mana is for me!

[pokemonproductions12]

@nogoodnam3sleft Everything but black is for me! In fact, I don't have any black cards at all.

[glitenin]

@nogoodnam3sleft I play a no-land artifact deck. Therefore, I win.

[Ch0rizo21]

@kuztro02 Very true dude.. Same w/ Sengir Vampire. :((

[wookiefable]

im not following this ill try play it on pc see how i go probably has a better tutorial

[kuztro02]

When I started playing Magic, Serra Angel was usually an ace card in your deck. Now it is just another card :((

[TheMrSmoothPants]

I taught my girlfriend how to tap yesterday...

she was disappointed...

[SuperAirBox]

HE OR SHE ??

[puresalvation13]

Anybody got an extra Jace?

[snorlaxpulls]

@puresalvation13 i have a playset you want it?

[ShinobiGarth]

no, Serra Angel is NOT ready to fight for you after you cast it, its sick

[Billiejoe1yknow]

@badog109 I'm a girl and i play so yea "she"

[AllStuffNerdy]

Ahh..making fun of people trying to teach newbies how to play, so mature..

[nickelboy2]

i like to play with dark/mountain cards

[MuzikMafi18]

yo, i got White Sun's Zenith, Victory's Herald and Peace Strider. what up

[BigJasonStud]

is that guy on the left cock eyed or wot,,hey fucker,,who are you looking at??

[squid109]

this is well put together

[andyBryFilms]

my gf got me into magic

[Soapygold]

@andyBryFilms Really? Your mom got me into Magic.

[crash979797]

@andyBryFilms hot

[ShortieAlefas]

@andyBryFilms Forever Al... wait what?

[gothikgamer]

@andyBryFilms your a lucky man.

[thegiraffeslayer]

@andyBryFilms your gfs awesome then haha

[vyzyl1]

@andyBryFilms good job bro

[inuzuna]

@andyBryFilms same thing happened to me

[monkallonks]

With the number in the circle thing I have some cards that have like an X in the circle what does that mean????? Please help!!!

[pivotman999]

@monkallonks X is the amout of lands you choose to play.

For example there could be a card that is

1 (x)

gain amount of life as x

so you spend 1 mana to play the spell, and than every mana you spend after that you gain 1 extra life.

[gamestop56]

@pivotman999 or in some it reverse u can use it against the other player

[pivotman999]

@gamestop56 Yes, like pay (X) and deal X damage to target player where X is the amount of mana spent to use this card.

[gamestop56]

@gamestop56 ahhhhh i wish more magic players were in my town :/ lol

[kingpen480]

This looks pretty fun. I only play yugioh but it wouldn't be bad to try something new. Does magic have a starter box or something that provides all the essentials to play magic? Kind of like a starter deck in yugioh.

[starryriot]

@kingpen480 you can buy starter decks, in the wizards site.

[hardestcoresoldier]

@kingpen480 hey i play yugioh AND magic too. i bought an intro pack to start playing magic. and i am just playing magic casually with my friends to get used to it and learn the rules.

[wengmrwest]

This game is far greater than YuGiOh!

[TheMetalHobbit]

I'm looking into playing Magic however one thing I'm worried about is if the game is a broken mess like Yu-Gi-Oh! has become. I'm hoping there aren't many "staples" and that you actually see creative and original decks. I'm just beginning to learn so I can't really tell. If anyone can give me some insight I would appreciate it greatly.

[HVISprites]

YUGIOH!

[snorlaxpulls]

@generatingName my girlfriend plays it.....nah i wish

[Alexc3217]

I'd tap that, regardless of orientation.

[kingmikiking]

he says 90 degrees but flips only 45 degrees thats why yugioh has larger numbers because they know their math

[BrodoDustinoInc]

Most people say this game is better because its more complicated than yugioh...thats just the thing...its f'n complicated!

[goodmaggot]

lies not all lands make mana

[dburtjunior]

redakai all the way

[Reptiledictionary225]

How many cards are in a deck?

[Damnationization]

@Reptiledictionary225 Normaly 60 cards in a deck minimum without a maximum.

[AzoRevan]

@Reptiledictionary225

No less than 60 in Constructed formats, and no less than 40 in limited formats. I think there's no upper limit on how many cards you can bring in one deck, though it's strongly advised to go with the minimum to limit the influence of luck and give a measure of predictibility.

[XAutumnApocalypseX]

@Reptiledictionary225 Standard deck has 60 cards or more.

[WolfChief100]

yu gi oh has more cards:|

[9thStreetSaints]

@WolfChief100 yugioh dont make as many cards as magic. every year magic make like 1000 cards. how many does yugioh make? fucking n00b

[WolfChief100]

@9thStreetSaints i was trying to be a troll i know that magic has more cards just wanted to see if anyone will respond.and noob doesnt really offend me that insult was totally out of place

[XxDrex64xX]

these guys sound like what they r saying is coming strait out of a strategy book

[Mrdubstep69]

1:46 thats what she said

[Totema1]

"To tap a card is to turn it 90 degrees."

*turns his land cards about 60 degrees*

[glitenin]

@Totema1 I do the same out of habit from the old two-half cards, if you remember them.

[hotdogman4000]

8 people could not understand.................

[noobmaftw]

I find this easy to masturbate to.

[fangliger45]

ugh this is confusing @_@

[PikajewElectricRabbi]

Oh yeah...I'd tap that Serra Angel...

[storm619365]

@PikajewElectricRabbi you porv

[DarkCatBurn]

I found a bunch of older magic cards (93, 94, 95 up to 2000) There were like 700+ cards. There was also an autographed "Mystic Remora" signed and dated by Ken Meyer Jr-" KMJR95". There were quite a few rares. Only 7 foils though... Anyway, how excited should I be about this?

[alpunkbrewster]

Hey guys, Once a Land is used can You use it again?...

[Milkmypanda]

@alpunkbrewster yes next round.

[alpunkbrewster]

@Milkmypanda ok tnx

[Milkmypanda]

@alpunkbrewster np



[ImmortalinHim77]

If anybody wants real manna, then read the Bible (Revelation 2:18).

[reptiletc]

@ImmortalinHim77 leave the preaching for christian sites! nobody cares

[ImmortalinHim77]

Yes you do.

And I wasn't preaching. Hidden manna. . .

[Quttiepyiez]

you two almost sound the same

[ReaperHexx93]

I'd tap serra angel..

[Imafisherman]

Oh god i hate playing against Serra Angel.

[spriggsnumber1fan]

serra angel? I have that card

[Blisber]

3:25 Giggity

[BeingSuperAwesome]

they look like Sam and Dean from Supernatural and guy in red is kinda geek hot ;)

[samuraivali]

only from Brazil and I wanted to know where I can buy the magic letter

[deathcorepyro]

ITS MAW-NAH not MEH-NEH, and i live in hawaii so i should know

[devilanc]

This game sounds good but its a bit complicated .

[Delta0prative]

@devilanc It's really not that hard to learn. And it gets fun once you know how to play.

[TrevorxDerp]

In the game with call that tapping. Ttws

[NilReccuring]

in my game, tapping is when you fuck a chick....but your game sounds cool too (:

[s4mis4mi]

@NilReccuring  Awesome Comment bro :P

[newkid765]

@NilReccuring hahahahhahahaahahahahahhahahah­ahhhahaahaahhahahahahahahahaha­ahahahahahahah....lol

[nzephier]

@NilReccuring id rather play a game where tap means fuck a woman, but if your into bestiality thats cool to...

[1812orion]

man i wish i had friend that play lol

[WarriorDarkstorm]

I remember the colors from the "what color are you quiz" it cool because I found that out from a completely unrelated source

[memoivoila]

Awesome

[CrippledDonkeyGamer]

to complicated.

[mewtwotwo2222]

is bringer of the black dawn and mephidross vapire good cards?

[TriggerExDude]

"...Bigger is better..." That's what she said.

Btw, stop comparing Yu-Gi-Oh to this (with who disliked this and shit), it's annoying.

[Lukvajs]

6 dislikes are from Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan, Kaiba and Pegasus

[69masterofmusic]

@mommieof2js yes you do

[MrRotscale]

@mommieof2js In standard games yes.

[NejiKusa]

This is actually a pretty good tutorial buts its just so embarassing and painful to watch. It hurts, it really does.

[XtasicRider]

@NejiKusa how so? lol

[legozackproduct11]

dont know how to play but its worth a try then ill play yugioh and this

[jm1allday]

i like mtg way better then ygo cuz in ygo theres only a few good decks but in mtg theres a bunch of good ones and even if u have the same idea the decks arnt the same

[DarkSigner7]

Well, I'm a duelist, too. But I think this game is more sociable. I heard it's like a lot more harder to just make an OTK at least. It feels more possibilities for the gamers and I think that's what makes it more interesting. That's why I'm watching the videos.

[NaturelsMyBitch]

3:25

to tap a card is to turn it 90 degress. *turns it 70*

[IMPzzz69]

@NaturelsMyBitch actually 45 degrees

[IMPzzz69]

@NaturelsMyBitch actually 45

[DIVENTNA]

@NaturelsMyBitch haha yeah i saw that, ut I find that every has a there own way of stacking and tapping their land.

[saia100]

MTG > YGO > Pokemon TCG >>>>>>>>>> Naruto TCG

Deal with it

[Fredcat11]

@saia100 That's what I am thinking... Except that MTG = YGO, but it's just my opinion. I find Naruto useless.

[PokeTwilight]

@saia100 Dude its MTG>YGO>CFV>WS>Pokemon TCG >>>>>>>>>> Naruto TCG

You got pwned...

[treek0o]

so is this lyk a 1v1 quickscoping game? what console its on?

[Decks4Sale]

I was at a yugioh tournement the other day and saw a couple people playing this and I thought it was soooo stupid but yugioh gets boring after a couple months of playing so I watched another match and know im starting to get into this it looks like a cool game if anyone got tips let me know

[nalgenesRULE]

yugio rulez!

[H0Tf1re]

Just started playing Magic and GOD! what a game! it's like... Just AMAZING!

at a store not far away from me they are giving away a 30card deck to each new player who joins the multiverse. i was actually going get the card and sell it cheap to my friend, but once i touched the cards i fell in love with them. BTW: i don't like tomatoes xD

[jjuggaloparkour]

I lost the game. Several times.

[HandyDandyGamer]

Hey guys i played magic but quit because my local store closed down and i wanna start again but... idk if there is any1 that plays how could i find other people to play with?

[jjuggaloparkour]

@HandyDandyGamer Going to the main website, google Magic the Gathering and it'll take you there. It'll have a link saying Locate stores and tournaments or something similar.

[LoganHaun96]

@HandyDandyGamer You can find this game at wal-mart

[leksss4]

[ZekeDlyoung]

Yugi and Kaiba dislike this video

[jamiedarrens]

[MusicMakingKillers]

@ZekeDlyoung i know, it was a hilarious comment!

[pkermage55]

Anyone notice the tattoo on Sam's left wrist? O.O

[pkermage55]

Anyone notice the Pi tattoo on Sam's left wrist?O.O

[llamascanplaynitendo]

@matthew4892 same here, but the game still looks kind of fun.
