Surprised no mention of fishing. This is a backbone of aggro strategy. Fishing = getting opponent to deal with the threats in the order you want them to. This is useful in all styles of play but essential for aggro play. Still all in all a good video.
Could you guide me a bit through the deck types etc I am hoping there is a hilariously fun deck out there ? My kajak buddy wants to try magic when we are on expeditions
@MTG DEVELOPERS For example, if you know your opponent plays a gates ablaze deck, you might want to keep your main/stronger cards in your hand and wait until your opponent play gates before fielding your good cards. You can also fish by playing minor threats in order to play a counter for that threat. For example, you can play phoenix and your opponent plays a remove spell. You can self-inflict a justice strike on your phoenix to save it from being removed rendering your opponents counter useless. Last example is unbreakable formation againts board wipes. You can extend your board with all you got waiting for your opponent to board wipe, then countering with unbreakable. Since the board wipe threat is out of the way after you scared the shit out of him with your stacked board, you beat him to death with it. Fishing is basically counterpunching a counter punch. You jab. Your opponent evades and tries to punch you back but surprise, that is what you wanted and counterpunch.
@MTG DEVELOPERS Fishing is using the open windows to cast spells before or after the attacking phase. Example: I attack you with a 2/2 and a 3/3. You have a 2/2 and a 4/4. You block my 2/2 with your 4/4 and I play a giant growth to kill it. That's one example of fishing. Or you play against a control deck and you cast a creature or enchantment or something that is a threat that you would rather have them counter first, then cast the creature spell you really wanted after that. That's also fishing.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I believe you misspoke in the first scenario. In the first scenario (example 1) Attacking in for 2 and then 2 = 4, but then the second example a turn building up is 0 and a turn attacking is 6. The extra 2 comes on the 3rd turn, which while relevant is not the same time frame as 2 turns. Note that I am not disputing that this is the better play.
Joel Johnson i play my aggro decks based on game state and i compare tye creatures and spells to the gold standard burn spell lightining bolt I have a RB agrros deck so on curve i have Cmc 1 rakdos cackler 1/1 with unleash to make it a 2/2 so if it swings once its as good as a shock if it swings twice its twice as good as shock and slightly better than lightining bolt if it swings a 3rd time its twice as good as bolt amd 3x better than shock At cmc 2 i run terminate, gobhobbler rats at 2/2, and goblin deathraiders at 3/1 obviously unconditional creature removal is great and the rats are more durable and have added power and defence once my hand is empty and the goblins have trample It goes on like this up to the just for funsies win more card at 6cmc o have raldos the defiler which hardly ever hit the fiwld as normally my opponent is dead 2-3 turns before he can land but if i get to turn 5 and have out rakdos lord of riots i could play him in turn 5s swcond main phase but thats really late game at that point
Control can't, though. It never could. Unless I play only counter spells to counter literally everything Aggro throws at me, but I can't do that. Still need to draw cards, play own threats/win condition etc. Also, there is a reason mono red aggro has been (almost) oppressively strong in the last months or even years and is probably the best archetype/deck in Standard rights now. Also, love that profile picture. Have a nice day.
Love the episode and the whole Tolarian Tutor series, really plays to the channel concept, which in turn is what draws me to the channel. In regards to the priority of abilities it would seem like haste often ranks higher than first strike as early game it allows fast swings before they setup and after sweepers allows for putting a fast clock back up.
Having tinkered around with the aggro archetype a time or two, these were key points that will assuredly help ones tactics and playstyle. A lot of scenarios are circumstantial, and a bit of luck involved with what you may draw of course. However, again these are key points. I cannot express enough of how over extending your board can potentially set you up for failure. As a control player, if we see you dump your entire hand on the board we know that's a good time to board wipe. Odds are we will be able to out play you at a higher probability if we can take out several potential turns worth of threats from your perspective on a single turn, with a single card, that gives us tempo advantage. As the professor stated, evaluating the board is a key component. Also pay a lot of attention to the first match of three potential rounds if you're playing competitively, this will give you feel for how well your opponent plays, and exactly what cards they're playing, allowing you to make better sideboard decisions. Pay attention to what cards they use that you want to work around, out play, or counter. And assess what cards you did, or didn't play that were dead weight. Great video professor, very informative to new and old players alike. Cheers and happy card slinging, and fun times!
this is by far my favorite series you do professor. I am looking forward to a video like this for control, tempo and midrange because those are the archetypes I enjoy playing the most. in pauper I play mono blue Delver, and I play storm in modern. I love magic and this is my got to TH-cam channel for all my learning
As someone who plays Burn in Historic (and is considering upgrading to Modern Burn once this blasted pandemic is over), I found this really helpful. Thank you Professor!
Professor, id really like to thank you for these informative videos, i've been teaching my girlfriend and her brother how to play over the last month or so. While i do my best trying to explain boardstates, when to block or take damage, and make advantageous use of your combat tricks and trades, it sort of gets lost intranslation. After showing them a few of your videos, however, they're finally starting to analyze boardstates and think their moves through rather than just swinging in with the team every turn. You're doing gods work lol. You explain things in such a direct and informative manner, and with visual representation as well, it makes your videos some of the best learning tools imo. Keep pumping out the great content prof, i always recommend you to new and old players alike. Some of the best magic content on youtube, keep up the good work.
This really helped a lot! I’ve been trying to build an aggro deck of my own but I have a hard time judging if a card is good for a deck. Whenever I build decks, I just throw in cool cards without thinking much but this really helped me evaluate my cards more.
I know i´m a little bit late, but pls continue this series. It helps a lot, new players or returning ones, like myself. And hopefully, i help you by watching your complete library, leaving a like and some comments here and there.
The sweeper example was excellent. Also note that in both scenarios, your opponent is on a 3 turn clock, therefore holding back the creature in your hand is a strong play.
I appreciate this, when I started playing magic the first decks I managed to wrap my head around were heavily aggro based. I feel like aggro is very simple but reading the board state is a huge part of it.
How'd i wish ive learned your vids when i was playing magic. Ive stopped for a while, focused on board games and your vids are pulling me back to building a new deck.
This information is good even when not playing an aggro deck. As a new player this is very helpful in reminding me to slow down and take my time in deciding what my best options are.
One of the later Tolarian Tutors I'd like to see is the difference between Card Draw and Card Selection and which is better where and why. I feel that's a fun topic to talk about and important enough to enable discussion.
I should recommend this video to a buddy of mine haha! I have had many debates on the best plays and what not with aggro. This just further echoes my thoughts. GREAT VIDEO!!
Love the video, would like to see how to be a better control player next if possible i tend to struggle there most sense im now getting into control type decks
one of the moat important things is there are different types of control. if you play a more counter centric strategy, its knowing your opponents deck in the way of knowing what to counter. and saving removal for the more important creatures. you wanna play a land every turn but at least until turn 6. the second you try to turn into a midrange deck when the board state is close you fall behind.
Honestly, the best way to play control is to play it and play it and play it. You need to practice, and you will learn how to time counter spells, sweepers, and finishers.
For years I usually play aggro monoblacks and from my experience they play pretty mych the same no matter the era,so here's a general guide. 1- Black has low cost powerful creatures that have as much as power as green creatures but with huge downsides,so learning to reap benefits from downsides is a must. 2-Even if you can't reap benefits from downsides if the damage is high enough it's worth it. 3-Try having creatures with thoughness 3 or more so you can take advantage of mini board wipes like infest or Ichor slick in case the opponent has lots of 1/1 and 2/2 lots of good decks runs creatures with thoughness 2 or lower. 4-have in your main deck or sideboard spells that forces sacrifice instead of direct targeting so you can get around hexproof and indestructable. 5-Have powerful discard stuff in your sideboard,even decks that likes to throw stuff on the graveyard don't like to have nothing at all on their hands,Hymn to tourach,mind cracking or mind twist are good stuff. 6-Don't be afraid of paying life to swing for lethal,if you're playing against red you can still disrupt them a lot by running alternate stuff like smallpox or sinkhole. 7-Don't forget black can have powerful draw stuff,drain skull,altar's reap,night whisper or sign in blood are all great draw spells. 8-Above all remember the essence of the black color,the ends justify the means,it doesn't really matter how much you kill yourself as long as you kill the opponent more. Have fun
the hardest matchup for most aggro decks to play is by far the aggro mirror, while the combo and control matchup is relatively straight forward the race is what separates the good aggro players from the rest. This is also why allot of control players think agro is easy.
Hey Professor. Thanks for the tips. I play a White Red Weenie deck in Pauper, which as you know is an Aggro Deck. I'll be sure to keep your advice in mind next time I play a tournament, especially if there's a mono black land destruction deck about.
Love this series, my only advice would be to cover Midrange matchups. Midrange is definitely prominent enough to warrant tips against playing as well as its own video.
I'm topically a control or mid-range player. I've been playing an aggro build in modern recently. G/R Vengevine. I've been making the mistake of trying to go more mid-range and then wondering why I don't have the explosiveness of the decks power. This video helped me figure it out.
Yep. When your blitzing. Keep a tactical reserve (The board) Or a strategic reserve (Your hand) Don't let blood lust cloud your thinking. Make sure you know when it's time to go all in.
I think theese videos are really useful and cool, as always thanks for your work! Would you consider making commander contestualized versions of this kind of content?
Thank you. I am trying to get into pro modern playing. Built an elf deck and often misplay buy summoning my entire hand. I have ways to regenerate my hand but often to late if I get a board wipe. I appreciate you pointing out the damage output.
Ere’s wot we’s gonna do, right? First I’se gonna yell Waaagh! an’ ‘den I’se gonna run up to ‘em an’ krump ‘em. ‘Den, while I’se runnin’ and hollerin’ an’ before I get to ‘da krumpin’ part, you lot yells Waaagh! an’ makes a run at ‘em too, see? ‘Den we’ll all krump togevva! ‘S a great plan, innit? ‘Dem ‘umies’ll nevva expect it
I know that the examples are mainly for understanding how to think about turn sequences BUT I think it is important to play assuming or at least considering whether they have something in hand, or that they will develop their board or strategy the following turn. That gets complex in terms of explaining the differences between different answers in different colors and formats (i.e. they might have the common white trick OR the mythic rare sweeper in limited).
Surprised no mention of fishing. This is a backbone of aggro strategy. Fishing = getting opponent to deal with the threats in the order you want them to. This is useful in all styles of play but essential for aggro play. Still all in all a good video.
this comment should have enough likes to be at the top of the comment section

@MTG DEVELOPERS For example, if you know your opponent plays a gates ablaze deck, you might want to keep your main/stronger cards in your hand and wait until your opponent play gates before fielding your good cards.

You can self-inflict a justice strike on your phoenix to save it from being removed rendering your opponents counter useless. Last example is unbreakable formation againts board wipes. You can extend your board with all you got waiting for your opponent to board wipe, then countering with unbreakable. Since the board wipe threat is out of the way after you scared the shit out of him with your stacked board, you beat him to death with it.
Fishing is basically counterpunching a counter punch. You jab. Your opponent evades and tries to punch you back but surprise, that is what you wanted and counterpunch.
@MTG DEVELOPERS mtg.gamepedia.com/Aggro_deck#Fish hope this helps :)

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the Professor's suit
The One Dylanator it us a lovely suit, very Tibalt.
Erm, no. I'm sorry, but burgandy on red is just awful. He has some excellent suits, but this is one of his weaker performances.
I want it
His suits are always fire.
Looks like he raided Austin powers’ closet. I love it though. This man has Jackie Chan level swag.
Professor: "Effectively trading 4 creatures for 4 damage"
Aggro player: "wow, look at that value, only 16 HP left!"
Are you being sarcastic?
My new first step to breaking in any aggro deck will be to find a suit as awesome as the professors. It's classy yet sinister.
Awesome video prof!!
I just started taking lessons from Emma, and I can absolutely feel her Magic mentality in this video! Very informative, and very helpful!
Maybe I'm missing something, but I believe you misspoke in the first scenario. In the first scenario (example 1) Attacking in for 2 and then 2 = 4, but then the second example a turn building up is 0 and a turn attacking is 6. The extra 2 comes on the 3rd turn, which while relevant is not the same time frame as 2 turns. Note that I am not disputing that this is the better play.
tonka truck I noticed he said “in the same two turns “ when in the second example he took 3 turns to get the 8 damage.
This is the comment I came here looking for. Glad you did it already so I didn't need to!
As an aggro player and on behalf of all the others, thank you!!
Im pretty sure statistically you're the only one.
Joel Johnson i play my aggro decks based on game state and i compare tye creatures and spells to the gold standard burn spell lightining bolt
I have a RB agrros deck so on curve i have
Cmc 1 rakdos cackler 1/1 with unleash to make it a 2/2
so if it swings once its as good as a shock if it swings twice its twice as good as shock and slightly better than lightining bolt if it swings a 3rd time its twice as good as bolt amd 3x better than shock
At cmc 2 i run terminate, gobhobbler rats at 2/2, and goblin deathraiders at 3/1 obviously unconditional creature removal is great and the rats are more durable and have added power and defence once my hand is empty and the goblins have trample
It goes on like this up to the just for funsies win more card at 6cmc o have raldos the defiler which hardly ever hit the fiwld as normally my opponent is dead 2-3 turns before he can land but if i get to turn 5 and have out rakdos lord of riots i could play him in turn 5s swcond main phase but thats really late game at that point
What? Smash face
I was expecting a 5 second video of the prof slamming his head against a table.
comment of the day
Robert James comment of the year
Hey i thank you so much. I have been fan fir about a year now. But you got me into magic your videos are a great help. Keep it up please.
got nothing to do with my comment, Konner :)
Please make a new comment.
Lol fail.
These tutor vids are great! Keep em coming!
I honestly can't even handle how well spoken you are.
Love the specific examples and the in-depth strategic advice. More videos like this, please! Thanks for all you do, Professor.
Thanks for the help! As a newer player to the game, you are a fantastic resource I recommend to anyone else who is new and wants knowledge
>"They can't counter everything you do"
The sweet innocence of 2017.
Control can't, though. It never could. Unless I play only counter spells to counter literally everything Aggro throws at me, but I can't do that.

Also, love that profile picture. Have a nice day.
ThorsShadow the sweet innocence of a pre Oko world.
my friend built a deck with the win con of forcing me to play one spell per turn and then countering that spell. its the most annoying deck ever
Tuxedo bird and that’s why I don’t play with certain people anymore. If you can’t play magic what’s the point in playing magic.
@@sl8103 Arcane laboratory?
I had this deck in the past,it can be amazingly frustrating to play against.
Please make one on sideboards and how to sideboard!
I would like to see a video on this too
BlizzardMTG he already did one but it is an older video
thegolden hub I know I just want one with the style of Tolarian Tutor
That would be great
Look at this quality and intro? You've come so far I'm so happy patreon has helped get you here
This was a great video! I'd love to see more like this. The gameplay examples were super cool and very educational!
Love the episode and the whole Tolarian Tutor series, really plays to the channel concept, which in turn is what draws me to the channel.

Prof keep these coming! They are the best resource on MTG mechanics and strategy on TH-cam being released.
In the Aggro video he wears Black/Red.
In the Control video he wears Blue/White.
Coincidence? I think not!

ZonkoTheGreat 2000 Your username is cool because it includes the year your comments stopped being funny.
Hahaha BAZINGA!
Ha, nice.
Elo you can thank Y2K for that burn
As someone who plays Burn in Historic (and is considering upgrading to Modern Burn once this blasted pandemic is over), I found this really helpful. Thank you Professor!
Great video, new player here, and a french one! It's really easy to understand, loud and clear speaking, taking your time, best magic prof ever :>

Awesome series Prof! Well done as always!
As an Aggro Player and it being my birthday this is the best gift you could have given me Professor.
Great video! I literally feel like I went to MTG school.
This is a great article! Thanks for giving these pointers! This is a great addition to the channel!!!
I love your videos. I get great satisfaction from watching them having felt more enlightened after each one.
This really helped a lot! I’ve been trying to build an aggro deck of my own but I have a hard time judging if a card is good for a deck. Whenever I build decks, I just throw in cool cards without thinking much but this really helped me evaluate my cards more.

As someone who enjoys playing aggro, thanks for the video. Quite informative. Looking forward to seeing the other archetypes.
I appreciate this, when I started playing magic the first decks I managed to wrap my head around were heavily aggro based. I feel like aggro is very simple but reading the board state is a huge part of it.
These used to help me so much
Coming back a year later I am happy I saw this
How to be better aggro player :
SMORC AND HIT FACE
Yep!
What does "aggro" means in magic?
Your channel is awesome! I hope you get lots of new viewers from the MTGA players, these lessons come very handy to us.
“What if your opponent has a wall of creatures?”
-laughs in Embercleave
I was on the right track and now I have even more knowledge. Thx Tolarian Tutor!
How'd i wish ive learned your vids when i was playing magic. Ive stopped for a while, focused on board games and your vids are pulling me back to building a new deck.
This information is good even when not playing an aggro deck. As a new player this is very helpful in reminding me to slow down and take my time in deciding what my best options are.
Nothing levelled up my aggro mirror game as much as Who's the Beatdown by Mike Flores. Classic article.
The rest of my cards for my legacy burn deck are coming in two days so this was super helpful!
Just got some things I missed when playing aggro. Thank you so much, prof! :D
This video was great. The combat trick comparison was so helpful. Along with the other great information you had. Keep it up :)
One of the later Tolarian Tutors I'd like to see is the difference between Card Draw and Card Selection and which is better where and why. I feel that's a fun topic to talk about and important enough to enable discussion.
I really like the new tutor videos. Keep it up prof this is some of your best work
I should recommend this video to a buddy of mine haha! I have had many debates on the best plays and what not with aggro. This just further echoes my thoughts. GREAT VIDEO!!
Keep up the good work
Taunt is chea- Wait, wrong game.
Miss Nothing pfffft taunt.. just play quest mage and 0tk everyone
Punny minions can't taunt -magic- death.
Face is the place! SMORC 4 life!
Block is cheat

This is so usefull, not only to be better at aggro, but also to play better against aggro. Please make a video about control soon :D
Love the video, would like to see how to be a better control player next if possible i tend to struggle there most sense im now getting into control type decks
one of the moat important things is there are different types of control. if you play a more counter centric strategy, its knowing your opponents deck in the way of knowing what to counter. and saving removal for the more important creatures. you wanna play a land every turn but at least until turn 6. the second you try to turn into a midrange deck when the board state is close you fall behind.
Your wish is our command :)
Blisk45 instant speed everything
Honestly, the best way to play control is to play it and play it and play it. You need to practice, and you will learn how to time counter spells, sweepers, and finishers.
For years I usually play aggro monoblacks and from my experience they play pretty mych the same no matter the era,so here's a general guide.
1- Black has low cost powerful creatures that have as much as power as green creatures but with huge downsides,so learning to reap benefits from downsides is a must.
2-Even if you can't reap benefits from downsides if the damage is high enough it's worth it.
3-Try having creatures with thoughness 3 or more so you can take advantage of mini board wipes like infest or Ichor slick in case the opponent has lots of 1/1 and 2/2 lots of good decks runs creatures with thoughness 2 or lower.
4-have in your main deck or sideboard spells that forces sacrifice instead of direct targeting so you can get around hexproof and indestructable.
5-Have powerful discard stuff in your sideboard,even decks that likes to throw stuff on the graveyard don't like to have nothing at all on their hands,Hymn to tourach,mind cracking or mind twist are good stuff.
6-Don't be afraid of paying life to swing for lethal,if you're playing against red you can still disrupt them a lot by running alternate stuff like smallpox or sinkhole.
7-Don't forget black can have powerful draw stuff,drain skull,altar's reap,night whisper or sign in blood are all great draw spells.
8-Above all remember the essence of the black color,the ends justify the means,it doesn't really matter how much you kill yourself as long as you kill the opponent more.
Have fun
A wonderful video. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Very good video in particular for the matchups!. Please make some video for how to and when sideboard
Awsome Video! I like this whole Series, because it helps me to improve.
prof, thanks for this series of Tolarian Tutor. keep it going
Great Video, I’m making a Ramunap Red deck and this will help a lot!
thank you professor!! im a aggro player and this help me a lot
Is there one of these for Tempo? ☺
Great content. Shared with my sister who just started
Excellent video & very informative. Much thanks #TolarianCommunityCollege
This is the BEST channel by far!!!
the hardest matchup for most aggro decks to play is by far the aggro mirror, while the combo and control matchup is relatively straight forward the race is what separates the good aggro players from the rest. This is also why allot of control players think agro is easy.
Hey prof. Love this type of content. Keep em coming. Great content as always.

Love this tutor series!!!! Keep it up!
Great content Professor. I think more strategy videos with board state evaluations would be value added!
I love the top on the bookshelf. Also... OH MY GOD, those years of playing Yu-Gi-Oh with defensive decks really fucked my aggressive game up.
Excellent video, as usual. Loved it.
This video has helped me with my decks since I am an aggro player
This video is awesome, thanks Prof! Keep 'em coming!
Are you an actual college professor? Cause I ACTUALLY learn from these
the section on tutu's was really helpful
Love the tutor series!
Nice analysis of Aggro strategies!
thanks emma and michelle and prof, great series keep it up
I think theese videos are really useful and cool, as always thanks for your work!
Would you consider making commander contestualized versions of this kind of content?
Thank you. I am trying to get into pro modern playing. Built an elf deck and often misplay buy summoning my entire hand. I have ways to regenerate my hand but often to late if I get a board wipe. I appreciate you pointing out the damage output.

Thank you, Professor :-) Now I'll start tweaking that Black/Red Pirate shanker.
Another great informative video professor thanks dude.
I love that tutor animation!!!
Hi Brian! Love your vids! Would you consider doing a vid on two-player draft formats like Winston, Winchester and Solomon? Keep up the great work!
Thanks! This will really help me in sealed!
This was an awesome episode.
Love seeing Death Gate Cycle on that bookcase!
I know that the examples are mainly for understanding how to think about turn sequences BUT I think it is important to play assuming or at least considering whether they have something in hand, or that they will develop their board or strategy the following turn. That gets complex in terms of explaining the differences between different answers in different colors and formats (i.e. they might have the common white trick OR the mythic rare sweeper in limited).
I love this series!!!
Thank you for the information.
