  • I like how he shows lantern spirit, but never even talks about it.

  • Comment removed

  • We didn't need the 10 second pause to look at the pack. If we needed it, we would have paused!

  • The next guy would probably get Claustrophobia and wouldn't let me play blue anyways.

    So I'll just get the Champion of the Parish and signal that I wanna play white this early.

  • The videos are getting better, but its too choppy with the constant cutting

  • Obviously all-in on the burning vengeance deck.

  • Where is Erwinnnnn

  • Why do I always feel like Gerry is talking to me like some sort of mentally challenged infant?

  • @charlieornaught Because he's an arrogant, know-it-all... no idea what SCG was thinking choosing this guy as Evan's replacement... the only people that like being talked to like Gerry are young wannabe pro's and weaklings with no self-esteem.

  • i like GerryTv so far seems to teach new players like myself, but I miss mr Erwin maybe theres a way we could get the magic show and GerryTv itll be like magical christmas land :)

  • i watch TMS for fun. its was, and hopefully will be, very fun and nice, somehow to watch evin freak out over some wierd combo. and not worring about how bad they are or how easysely they are interrupted. i fel like the warm fealing from it is gone and is replassed with cold, hard "how good is this card".

  • I actually like the fact that Gerry does that show. I like the fact that a pro is talking about magic, this is what the Magic show should be like. I most definetely prefer him from Evan, who has all the complains of the average, mediocre, magic player.

    Keep up the good work, Gerry.

  • I know I'm a noob for saying this, but if this is first pack first pick, I'm going with the champion.

  • im waiting for magic show about graveborn, i like evan's review on products.

  • Sorry Gerry, Claustrophobia is the first pick. You're just wrong.

  • @allstarjason it's wierd that he doesnt say claustrophobia is one of the best cards, but civilized scholar is almost always the right choice here. Scholar does so much to turn on your deck, beats for 5 and smooths out your hand

  • I always draft removal first. So, I would have first picked Claustrophobia. Looter is a close second. You can easily get utility creatures mid packs, but removal is always scarce.

  • Alright, Gerry T woo!

    ... Now where's my Magic Show?

  • i want the magic show back

  • for af irst pick i would slammed the champion due to it being first pick first pack easy to build around

    but claustriaphobia is easy 2nd pick very strong removal

    i would take the scholar 3rd but hes very slow compared to merfolk looter an cant even block 1 toughness agro guys

    hes really bad for alooter imo but whatever i would take him 3rd

    u say pitchburn devils an prey upon those cards suck compared to phobia and ur just a bad dude

  • wow awful claustriaphobia is better than 3 mana looter

    ur gonna ass kick by 3 mana looter again agro decks in INNistrad

    just saying bro u dont know what ur talking about gerry

    phobia deals with bomb agro and much more

    pitchburn devils i wouldnt take even last pick that card sucks

  • Disagree!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I would disagree with Scholar being the best blue card (he means in the pack!).

    I prefer Skaab Goliath.

    Not that it would matter; I would have picked the Champion of the Parish anyway.

  • The fact that people can just chump the flipped scholar makes it worse, and with Doom Traveler being around, you have a looter that does nothing. I would take the Mauler because the chance of getting creatures is good. 4/5 is a lot more threatening then a 5/1.

  • Grasp of Phantoms is the best blue card. Not Civilized Scholar.

  • how does he expect people to pay for this, people hate it and its free. god this sucks...

  • Evan i really miss you "Magic Show"! I know that you lost some fans after last winter, and things got a little out of control, but there are MANY left, and we are all just waiting for the next "Magic Show #246"!

    As an idea, you could make them like you did in "Magic Show #180", i know it takes much work, but it was so awsome!

  • I would've gone for the Mauler... beefy and splashable. Then again, I don't know much about limited.

  • Feel bad for Gerry, I like his stuff and he gets a lot of dislikes.

  • where is evan. gerry sounds like he is reading right off the prompt. lets get evan back. your vacation is over man.

  • Scholar is a fantastic looter, the best one in a long time, but if I didn't want it, I'd take Prey Upon here.

    Green is heavily underdrafted and the Festerhide boar is about 65/35 gonna table.

    Granted, of the five cards in the pack for blue, at least one of them is coming back. Probably the mauler. I think people take the spirit higher than the mauler. Claustrophobia could come back too.

    As for Burning Vengeance its an archetype that is great when it works and awful when it doesn't.

  • @Kryptnyt an unconditional removal shouldn't go around unpicked in my little world.

  • hell, I'd of taken the burning vengeance

  • *sigh* this sucks............ we miss you evan.

  • people see you taking civilized scholar cause its a flip, you really want to give that signal on the first pick THEN pass 4 other blue cards. idk man

  • the best thing of the video is the deftones T

  • Though decision I was between the scholar and the champion, but I decided to go with the champion by the fact he is a rare card and maybe I get another scholar, but the scholar is perfect in limited as you said both of them are good picks.

  • Limited is lame!

  • um is there no more "the magic show"

  • @metra111 He wrote a big article on how it's not going to be a regular thing anymore. He'll still post 'special' episodes but no more weekly stuff.

  • Any information you'll need about MTG can be found for free elsewhere on the internet. The only time I'd get a Premium membership to SCG is if it was complimentary as a result of me doing a lot of business with them, and we all know hell would sooner freeze over than that happening.

  • Is Evan dead?

  • Does Gerry have a personality? Perhaps his phyche is made of magic card stock.

  • You didn't even consider lantern spirit or claustrophobia?

  • @KarateKidX He did if you actually listened to what he said. He said Claustrophobia is good but the Scholar is better overall for the UB mill strategy, and even though he didn't mention it, its not much of a stretch to see a few Claustrophobia later on since they are common, whereas the Scholar is pretty high up in the pick order and is uncommon. As for the lantern spirit its a good card but scholar is just better, and it's likely to table with the amount of other good cards that were there.

  • Epic Deftones shirt :D

  • i just love that people doesn't know that burning vengeance is absurdely good, i will first pick it VERY easily, cause it simply turns your whole deck,full of awesome spells like alchemy, think twice, desperate ravings, into shocks.

  • @bruto10 what would you do if you don't draw it or get naturalized early on. what would your deck look without it?

  • @kustomkure every naturalize in his deck is one less threat my deck has to deal with it. go on, kill my burning vengeance, i don't care, i'll just win with my big dudes

  • @bruto10 that is exacly why burning vengeance isn't the first or even fifth pick. it's irrelevant

  • @kustomkure as i said, i love people that act like this. i'm still going to pick it very highly, cause it's very, very good. ignore it if you want, but i'll keep winning with it

  • I would pay for the magic show.

    Evan, I understand your duties and responsibilities have increased, but I want you to know, if ever need be, you have a seriously huge fanbase out there waiting on your videos.

    It's not the fact that it's a video discussing magic, you put your all into it and your personality and enthusiasm did the rest.

    Gerry seems like a really cool guy, and I like him, I'll continue to watch these, but just know we're all waiting for another edition of The Magic Show.

  • @xAmendsx im not in all fairness after the magic show switched formats i did not like it

  • It´s just me... or does Gerry Thompson talks like the people watching the video are idiots?...

    Evan Erwin where are you? you need to come back! It´s URGENT!

  • @TheCobraPliskin No it's not just you... I unsub'd... I'm only checking these episodes to monitor other peoples feedback. By the looks of dislikes I'm not alone.

  • Still not paying for it.....

  • I took prey upon. It's been really good in clutch situations, What did you all go for?

  • @ninjamonkey88 Um, I was debatting between Civilized Scholar and Festerhide Boar...the boar goes further in most limited games powerwise and has more demand.

  • ... Don't forget your roots Evan. Remeber where and how you sarted.

  • Keep it free and I'll keep liking and viewing. Very informative video, draft tips are always appreciated, at least for me. I always seem to get stuck around 3 wins heh.

  • This was interesting, but not worth paying or.

  • Totally agree with the pick.

  • 2:10 I've known to do that at a FNM draft a few months ago :D. Thank you people who think U and W as just terrible for M12 3-1 at FNM for me (and a few extra packs)

  • I picked the 6/9 trample but I couldn't read all the cards that well.. That cards pretty sick with madness/flashblack/ect...

  • WTF dude, did Magic show get canceled? I subscribed to this for Magic Show, not previews of a show you have to pay money to see on a different website.

  • Bollocks. Claustrophobia is unconditional removal (excepting bounce). To not pick it above the looter is retarded

  • yeah, because all these previews are a logical way of doing things

  • Good, I'm glad they are moving towards relevant stuff that is actually interesting. Did you actually learn anything watching a Magic show?

  • @BumAtLarg When he did pro player interviews and coverage, it was great. While I can't see him attending PTs all the time, I could see where SCG could have at least one employee (of the several who show up to sell cards at PTs/GPs) doing an interview for ones Evan can't show up for, giving us relevant pro content all the time, and maybe some SCG Open coverage as well, along with deck techs from top 8 or who knows what. As it is, though, it's a dying news-esque-show that is just info from forums.

  • @BumAtLarg that's a freaking good point

  • This guy is boring and no one cares how good he is at magic.

  • I dont understand why people dont like GerryTV. hes an amazing player, and besides, if you look at Evan's first shows they weren't much better but you all love him. Give Gerry some time, he wins games.

  • Money grubbing star city games.

  • Not only do I disagree with his pick (I would have taken Prey Upon as I feel fighting over blue isn't worth it ), but Gerry is SO boring to watch. He just isn't good at reading a teleprompter. Additionally, if his shtick is to not be likable, SCG is just alienating more players.

  • i was pickign the goliath but your vid has shown me the error of my ways. i find these vids very helpful.

  • Great idea for a video, keep em coming.

  • I think i would rather take one of removal or festerhide boar i think its much better. 0/1 for 3mana is a joke. Easy to kill. Simple.

  • @czyzu12 i would listen to gerry if i were you

  • @czyzu12 and what goes through your mind when your opponent just wasted a removal spell on an 0/1?

  • I picked lantern spirit I like the idea of an unkillable creature with evasion but your probably right.

  • I honestly feel they should switch up every now and then. GerryTV is not bad but extremely informative. It's for those who wants to be better at the game from the point of view of a pro but there are many who want the entertainment Timmy offered every show. If they have it 1 show is Gerry, the next is Timmy on a regular interchanging basis, I'm sure they will appeal to majority of the crowd. I personally like both for information and entertainment.

  • I haven't been a fan of the GerryTV stuff so far, but I actually liked this.

  • I liked this episode. I think Gerry is relaxing a bit and getting into more a groove. I would like to see the magic show make a regular appearance though and i think splashing a bit of legacy discussion(or god forbid EDH) into the mix after any standard discussion is a good idea.

  • Sete is magic dude. Its his

  • Unsubscribed

  • Champion all the way. I know this isn't a case in general, but I've cracked three packs in a row with viable one, two, and three drop humans - not to mention I can splash into another color quite easily when most of the creatures I'm playing are mono-color cost cards. To be frank, sure his pick /can/ be a 5/1. But's it's only a 5/1 by then should have so many one drops where the chump is always the better choice.

  • i sort of wish gerryt was talking to someone else, even if its just an interviewer. this feels as scripted and rigid as when the magic show switched to the tv anchor style.

  • Sorry but this is where I unsub out of sheer confusion. Why would a fairly popular show be replace with previews of a for pay show?

    Is this really going to make more money than monetizing the free show here on youtube and going partner?

  • i know whats better than this..........grasp of darkness is 2 black mana..... xD

  • i'd take the champion anyway. this is bullshit.

  • So much hate. Its as if you think this channel owes you something. Personally I'm a fan. Good work Gerry and Evan.

  • There's not problem with Gerry TV, and I actually support showing Premium previews for free. I think the problem most of us are having is that previews SHOULD NOT REPLACE long-running free content. If for some reason Evan can't do a regular Magic Show anymore, that's fine, but can we at least get a replacement weekly program.Someone made a good point the other day, this and MagicTV great Spike shows, but the the MagicShow's appeal was its Timmy-ness. Some of us just want something fun like that.

  • Much improved over the first two previews, a lot less in your face but still informative. I like it.

  • yeah not picking a blue card from that pack at all probably. no matter what you say. :P

  • I'm just here for all the rares.

    RARE DRAFTING FTW!

  • Good luck picking up Evan's mantle, unsuscribed.

  • This is just so dumb. Three previews and a title sequence in what... 2 Weeks?! And the videos are max three minutes long? I mean, come on, this isn't the mrorangeguy I'm used to. And premium on these videos? No, thank you, I'd rather watch ChannelFireball's videos for free then, thank you very much.

  • ok well this is stupid. The magic show is now the SCG show. Thanks for playing, good bye.

  • I really like these series but I don't have premium :)

  • He took yer jerb!!!!

  • to hell with the magic show

  • I love the magic show but I like this. I think it's interesting.

  • I have to be honest, the guy sounds like he knows what hes saying, but a little dicey on the price of watching full episodes since I can just get the summaries from other viewers for free anyway :P

  • Deftones!!!

  • I love this draft format, it is one of the only formats in a while that rewards synergy so wells

  • Premium content, tee hee

  • this is getting dumb, sorry thumbs DOWN!

  • when are you going to talk about the changes to worlds? or are you just ignoring it because scg knows its terrible for the game and can't bear to make a video sucking up to wizards the way erwin does with every new set he's ever reviewed?

  • @donotfeedthetroll Theres enough articles on the scg site discussing those changes already.

  • neh .. I still pick champion of the parish here .. imo

  • show the cards a little longer - youtube has no button to stop the video from playing....

  • @maxtheice Pause not working for you lol?

  • @bevonair that was sarcasm

  • I like Gerry... he seems to know what he's talking about

  • I don't get all the complaints and thumbs down. This is actually a very interesting pick decision. Stop trolling GerryT :)

  • I miss the magic show but I still like this. Why do people need to complain?

  • I can understand if you would like to stop with the Magic Show in order to do something else, but this doesn't really seem to be the case?

  • disagree...have fun fighting over blue

  • BRING BACK THE MAGIC SHOW!

  • @Incontroll1 Can you not understand that Evan has been posting and saying that things have changed for him and his position at SCG, so that The Magic Show won't be continuing on a regular basis. And damnit, the show had an awesome, consistent run, just be grateful that it was there in the first place. You can find the article about this on the Star City Games site, go have a read.

  • wheres the magic show? :O? is this channel turning into gary tv preview?

  • @Lightyagami121 I'll have a show this weekend. The Magic Show is not a regularly scheduled program any longer, but I will have special episodes for you guys. This week - a Premium Deck Series: Graveborn spoiler! It's a sick one :D

  • @mrorangeguy So you arent going to talk about worlds?, :(?

  • @mrorangeguy Why isn't it a regularly scheduled show any more? Its way more interesting than Gary TV, and i think that I speak for the majority of the viewers when I say that.

  • @nellneb Unfortunately my duties at SCG have changed and I can't keep the regular schedule any longer. I will be doing shows from time to time, and I still have the skillset whenever I need it ;)

  • @nellneb I agree! Also, 'Gary TV'... I laughed my ass off!

  • @mrorangeguy evan, please come back
