วีดีโอ

it is actually uneral how CRIMINALLY underused tabletop sim s for mtg given how fucking well it works.. its jsut so good.

So i was just experimenting with this to try and learn how to use it before my friends and i play on saturday, but it crashed, is this a common occurence, is there any way to save while playing so i can get back the board the way it was?

How were you able to change it to make it so tapping is a full 90 degree turn?

thanks for the demo, clear and concise.

This is the best card in the game.

bro this channel boutta blow up soon...such high quality content. keep up dont stop

use cockatrice as well its free

I just purchased this and I'm using it to learn. Still trying to figure it out lol.

I recently bought this and while I understand how the decks work trying to teach people who never played MTG how to play these decks is not easy and is a little to complicated for a starter deck If I could do it I would either build my own decks or get the Rookie Decks from Card Kingdom for new players.

Playing magic by buying cards is expensive. I build a niv mizzet parun deck on a budget and I think it still cost like 100 euros to actually get everything, despite the budget being 50 euros on goldfish and I feel like the EU prices are usually lower, all of that because of shipping.

I have all 3 of the starter kits, I like them just to collect. And im always happy to teach someone the game with them

Pauper is easily my favorite format even if you ignore how cheap it is to play. Games are won more by incremental advantage over the game and less by a combo or one haymaker.

You don't necessarily need to use scryfall. If you use frogtown for a basic land or something, you can edit the json of the card to put any doable .jpg or what have you, on the front side of the card, and bish bash bosh. Used this technique to play customs, at all, and also to play clavin LCC guy, when he got leaked.

Tiny Leaders always gets forgotten about :(

Love it. I've been away since Ice Age and this is what I've done also. Two complimentary collections, each with a decade or so of cards.

Really nice to exposed to new channels under 500 subs with great content!

Players seem to want a 2 card combo kill format. No mana required, whoever can say infinite the most wins!

Evergreen videos are not real

Pauper is seriously one of the GOAT formats. I made a completely original deck with my friend in a single day and bought it the next for $15 CAD. More people need to know you can buy Pauper decks for less than 2 trips to McDonalds!

I hate Card Kingdom, they never have cards in stock and I also hate how these TH-cam channels advertise them.

I prefer just setting a deck price rather than a card price (or pauper). It allows you to build around an interesting rare or drop in a single more expensive card you just want to play. I like the idea of Folklore, particularly because a good way to extent a decks life is for someone else to play with it. I'd suggest if player don't want to change ownership make it temporary and bid on playing it at your next session.

You're cool come join us discord.gg/jwf6yRx9gg. Edit: also at 3:36 i meant to say "0.02 or less" i tried to put a caption but i guess it didn't work. Sorry!

Great Vid I fully agree, it seems the choke and switch policy is becoming the norm for Mr Bathwater, Just hearing his squeaky winy nagging voice, is not only laughable but it indicates the delight he takes in ruining any product or aspiring product we may enjoy as PLAYERS of this game. "This product is not for you" policy seems to be the back bone behind each release or expansion, all at the same time destroying their own formats and adding Ban's due to Power creep cards that break formats. I miss the days we had a Booster display box of cards that was it we all got the same product the RARES were Rare and play sets were easier to trade for all these aspects have been scrutinized by Mr Bathwater right down to the wire the Fat and the Meat on the bone is gone the bones now dry in the Sun.

I know this isn't the point of the video, which has a good thesis, but I must interject. Some people, myself included, DO like to play with heavily played or damaged cards. There's an "island of misfit toys" vibe to playing with underappreciated cards in power level, collectability, and/or physical card quality. The Gonti Deck school of deck appreciation, if you will.

I think the worst thing is that you can build ultra cheap cards. I build my abdel Adrian deck for around 20 bucks and that included an ashnods altar which I could arguably cut. I got all the cards from my lgs. And my lgs is notorious for being overpriced compared to online. The real problem is that deck building is actually hard. Something I haven't realised. Most people are not like me building weird and convoluted decks because they like it. Sometimes they just want to get a deck and have it. Which is fine. I did it with the 10th doctor deck. At this point I feel that pre cons are the best value and I feel that this is why they increased their price over the last two years. They probably run a study to see how much an average budget players pays to buy a deck using online marketplaces and determined how much they can increase while feeling cheaper. And this is not conspiratorial, economists are fully capable to do that.

Watched half of the videos you put up so far, really like your style duder. I appreciate the perspective even as someone who has been in the game for years and years. Keep it up!

They are called pay boosters

Anybody still buying sealed product still is crazy singles r the only way to buy MTG cards.

cool maybe I'll try that. use to play mtgo, I went to get some cards on mtgotrader, they were stocked out of staples, assuming there has to be a new place to buy. any suggestions?

They need to remove the ad cards, I hate them so much.

Yeah they haven't hit Games Workshop level bs yet haha

I appreciate the cheerful aura!

Silverback Elder was a $10 card for several months after it came out. This 2023 Starter Kit brought its price down. If you can get the kit for $15-17 it's a good value.

For what it's worth, the inclusion of the mythics, Shivan Devestator and the white anthem enchantment, makes this a slight cut above your typical starter deck. Not twice the price, but still a nice touch.

The play booster is way better than the draft and set they currently have. People don't buy draft and mostly buy set so why wouldn't they get rid of draft. Why do magic players always cry about every little thing!

If I wanted to start playing Magic with my irl friends and had very limited grasp of the game beforehand, I think I'd still pick up a copy. Doubt many shops will stock the 2022 version this year.

All excellent points, as a new player that’s really disappointing to hear. Makes it feel like I’m getting scammed before even knowing what I’m missing

Lots of lands is good in a starter set, make sure you can play the splashy expensive cards. It also means you don't have to buy more basics if you lean into one colour.

If you’re down here you’re cool, join the discord: discord.gg/jwf6yRx9gg

Just ax the unplayable inserts, and put in an actual card.

I have also noticed this. Commander's Quarters is a nice guy. I haven't seen him voice or support any anti-consumer sentiments. But his decks suck. He must play with a group full of Timmies. His budget decks are also often (but not always) far over the budget allotted. He uses the Low market price, which is extremely disingenuous. The deck I'm working on now is about $5 at Low. But that is a price from a fantasy world and is more of an abstraction rather than a real level that people buy and sell at. I haven't really considered shipping being really outrageous for some countries. For me, I just make a sizeable order from TCGplayer and have it sent direct. So I have a $2.99 shipping fee that is distributed through each card I purchase. For example, if I ordered 300 cards then each card was $.01 to ship. Of course you aren't going to get all the cards you want in this manner. In fact, I've noticed TCGplayer has far fewer cards up for grabs than it used to have. Obviously brewers cannot account for VAT, Customs, Taxes or anything like that. But I guess the only solution for that issue is to just follow the budget tubers from your region. Or redo the entire pricing structure of a budget deck to include a portion explaining the cost for it to be shipped. I was trying to sell cards on ebay and I noticed some shysters peddling "budget commander decks" for $15. They're just every piece of bulk from a recent release that is packaged into a deck with whatever commander fits the colors. This really enraged me, and I set to work on brewing a budget deck that is actually powerful and whose value is under $20 with no card $1 or more. After about a year of testing, I finally came up with a winner. But I keep putting off making a video on it because wotc has decided to improve white and they keep printing these lovely cards that greatly improve my deck at a super bulk level. The little W robot that when it dies you gain a life and draw or whatever is so perfect for it.... My personal goal in budget deck creation is utilizing a lot of chaff most players will have on hand. Using the savings from those cards to make room for staples like Swords to Plowshares and recent bulk rares that may also be in their binder. Utilizing heavy synergy to makeup for the lower card quality on average and appeal to at least one of the two tenants of deck construction: card draw and mana ramp. Also it needs to be super resistant to board wipes and have a lot of interaction. I have tested it at each level of play outside of cedh, and scripted out the video. But wotc keeps making great cards for it that are going to end up being a nickel each. So it gets pushed back. How frustrating! Maybe after this set.

I see, if you sail the seven seas like i do, get some bulk cards, get a printer, get some sleeves... I think you get it 😁

Doesn’t mitch use tcgplayer so wouldn’t the price be different for different online marketplaces?

All my decks are budget. Cashbro wore my pocketbook out. Core 2020 was my last purchase. With power creep my once badass decks are losing dogs. Oh well, I still have masturbation.

Play Penny Dreadfull on MTGO🎉

Just proxy. You better thank the algorithm for suggesting this video.

After watching the entire video, i dont understand how this screws budget players. Are none of these people able to buy singles? I don't know anybody that plays budget magic, but still tries to get the cards they need from opening packs. Additionally, to give wizards some credit, they haven't raised the price of a pack from $4 for the past 20 years. Can we really expect them to never have to raise the prices of their products? Quite frankly, from my perspective as someone who plays competitive & budget magic, budget players should be cheering wizards in the streets for doing their best to crush the singles market, putting more cards into the hands of budget players...

I just picked up a half dozen set boosters of wilds the other day and I only got one rare or higher per pack anyway and the odds are going to go down anyway and cost the same. Not super excited, I already feel the value was disappearing in set boosters before the change anyway

Breaking out my poop knife to cut the crap lol. All of my cards are sleeved the same. So I can build whatever I want. I have about 500 cards in each color, colorless, multicolor, special land and basic land. At any time i can order just a commander and a signature related card to build around. That is budget. If no one wants to this idc. But this is my solution for building, not constantly buying. It reduced my build time, collection time and need for bulk synergy pieces. Most of my cards are uncommon, rare and mythic rare and most are not really high value but are extremely playable. No reserved list crap. I have a video showing my collection on my channel although its a bit more refined to my particular playstyle and art interests. It took a few years to assemble and finalize. So whatever wotc does- it no longer causes storage or wallet fatigue. I give and trade away cards that dont fit my playstyle regardless of value. I cycle through and use all of my cards- there is no hoarding nor is there any real worry of value loss. (Although it makes trade a bit annoying lol) 95% of my collection is singleton. Since there is no real reason to have more than a couple decks to play with. One deck is battle hardened high removal and the other is test, jank, thematic and fun. It is not budget at all to continuously buy deck components. Especially deck boxes, or tons of different color sleeves. If a sleeve gets damaged i can take one from an unused land. One box of sleeves is easily 100 replacements or with each new set- 5 to 10 collection slots. I also have a box of sleeved tokens. One bundle box holds 2 decks, about 40 tokens and a couple top loaders for commanders. That's all my weight i carry plus a bag of dice, bring my trade binder mainly during set release or for specific purpose trading. I'm not against wotc in regard to the game but more in regard to their pricing abuse. my collection is a response to that. I used to buy about a box a month, now it's a couple packs. None actually unless pack opening channels are pulling decent or interesting cards. Regardless- i grew up having one deck at a time carefully crafted from pulls, with the advent of singles accessibility markets it made purpose building easy but reduced the magic imbued cards that had play experience and sentimental importance. If there is no connection to your cards do you really understand value? Very little dust settles on my collection and i wrote this to save you time, travel weight, expense and from storage problems😊
