We've heard people say it while playing Magic, The Gathering: The early-, mid-, and late-game. But What does that mean and how can you understand it in a way that will help you win more games?
In this video, Navisk8r discusses the three stages of a game of Magic the Gathering: early game, mid game, and end game. He explains the characteristics of each stage and how different deck archetypes play out in each stage.

      @acemartinez7406 RCQs are open tournaments! You can check locator.wizards.com for your local area RCQ schedule. Regional Championships (RC's) are invite-only, but winning a RCQ will get you there!

    @darkwhiz223 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tempo to me feel like control of the situation, if you have more resources and time then your opp. I.e countering an opponent game winning spell etc...

    • @MTGStrategist
      @MTGStrategist 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's basically what you get with tempo. You stay ahead of your opponent, control the board state...

    • @alwayschooseviolencemtg
      @alwayschooseviolencemtg 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is the "feeling" but what I think this video really does is quantify and measure the abstract concept- that way it's more than a feeling and you can make game decisions based on a calculated metric!

  • @alwayschooseviolencemtg
    @alwayschooseviolencemtg 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What do you think about the ACVMTG formula for tempo? 🤔 Comment with the next MTG Theory you'd like us to cover next! What's a concept or theory in magic that you're struggling with? Let us know!👇

      hey man thank you so much for taking time and coming up with this video. I cant believe with all the busy preparations you've been doing you still find time to answer/address inquiries in the comment section. Hats off to you and this channel bruh. Been looking forward to this video, excited as well on snippets of your coaching sessions and RC. More power to you and goodluck on upcoming tourneys!

      Dude, for sure!! We really appreciate your comments! We're here to get better at the game together, if our viewers are facing a problem- we likely are too! The goal of ACVMTG is to demistify the process of improving, because we are where you are

    • @kibspoker
      @kibspoker 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I usually do a lot of MTG Arena or Magic Online, then if im comfortable with the deck I would buy it on paper. If yer doing Tournament on paper it is a MUST to get the reps in... Like seriously, all the board triggers and permanent counters are a pain and missing one can be life or death... I really find a hard time doing reps with paper magic.. BUT... Guess what, from your vid before, I learned that we can "Proxy" cards print them and playtest... OMG OMG these helped a Ton and save so much $$$ . Again, thanks for the vids including this latest one! 👍

      @kibspoker 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      OMG yeah!!! im actually curious to know what TEMPO really is.. im kinda confused mid-way whether its card advantage, or board advantage, or just being like Mono Blue jerk always LOL. anyway, another well thought video - you are heaven sent 🙏

      @@alwayschooseviolencemtg Thank you so much! any video on tempo is much much much appreciated.

    Therein lies the rub: Successful =/= quality content. Good quality visuals or audio =/= good content. Some of my favorite podcasts sound like they were recorded on some toasters before they actually managed to get some money from it to upgrade. And we all know the impressive "influencers" have the best audio and visuals, but the most trash content.
