Pretty much like a friend of mine thought me the game and now I made 4 friends quit the game already it’s not good I think I mean maybe I shouldn’t have 2 edh decks that are literally the same playing time storm
This skit contains all the stages of being a TCG player of any sort: Uninitiated, Reasonable, Addicted, Making-Excuses, Graham, and Waiting for his opponent's second main phase to end.
This series is what got me into Magic the Gathering and LoadingReadyRun videos a little over a year ago. I cannot thank LRR enough for the many hours of entertainment and laughs that I have had over the year. I met most of my friends at university through MTG, including one of the managers at my workplace. It is surprising to find out that so many people played MTG where I work. All of them were too timid/ashamed to talk about MTG because it was so nerdy. Random talk about cards and such brought our crew together. I was even able to start up a club at my workplace.
Becoming a magic player is not understanding the flash joke the first time, then coming back years later and actually understanding it and finding it funny
It took me awhile to realise where I remembered that store from, then I remembered I visited it when I was in Victoria last year. Awesome place! And the videos are great, too!
In case anyone has missed it, new episodes of Friday Nights are being posted every month (first Friday!) on the Wizards TH-cam channel, username wizardsmtg.
I was 9 years old when i first started playing and im now 19 amd this is still a classic. This series was easily one of the reasons i stuck with the game
I haven't watched these videos in so long but when these came out I was 12 and I rember just getting into magic and I wish you guys would do videos like this again but thank you for all the great content you have let's us watch over the years
Where it all started... Hard to think it has been almost 8 years. Harder to think it'll be over in a few days (I know they're still going to do Friday Nights even without WoTC, but still). I'll be binge watching all of the episodes for the next days :)
Buying an MTG booster box just to crack packs can be real fun. Yet as Cameron Lauder has said before, the correct thing to do is to draft! Or at least have some pack wars with friends...
+Ioannis Seg I agree with you but the Episode where Cam is first introduced is actually filmed after this one here it is M12 and Cam comes in when they rip Catecrash. All so this is the First episode.
"Episode one of our 4 episode CommodoreHUSTLE spinoff"... It's the Coronation Street of Magic. (For those unaware, the long running British soap was supposed to be a 13 episode run or something similar.)
Harry King Being into all things rugby related and playing touch rugby here in Atlanta, I would laugh and cheer like a lunatic if someone did that to start a Pro Tour match day. It's a shame that so few other islands apparently play Magic because seeing a Samoan do their dance in reply from the other side of the gaming hall would END me. XD
>Scars of Mirrodin >Mirrodin Besieged >New Phyrexia Dudes. Seriously. You re-joined magic during the PERFECT time. Those sets have some of the most powerful cards.
I was like 7-10 when I was watching these and was into MTG. I didn’t understand these videos, didn’t understand the game either, just had my mom by the cards cause they were cool looking. Good times
I love this video. Makes me reminisce about playing back in my heyday. It's literally been a decade. I miss it from time to time. Even buy myself a booster once or twice a year to check out the new cards. I couldn't possibly devote as much time and money to it as I once did to be anything greater than super casual anymore. Pity. It's so fun when you find a solid group to play with.
Always fun to leave a new comment on a classic, grew up with these. And now using them to help my wife learn mtg while also playing with me to learn. She enjoyed the first episode. Didn't get specific characters name. But got some stuff so felt good
I love your videos and i just started today. I would love you guys to do more magic like this. The comedy and lax atmosphere makes watching these videos only more enjoyable. KEEP IT UP!
My pack picking procedure is relatively simple, I take the one the employee hands me. If the box is open and facing the customer side I take the highest sitting pack or the leftmost top of the tied stacks if more than 1 stack is tied for highest. That sounds more complex when written out than it is in practice.
My favorite part of this episode is them talking about the rituals of picking packs. I don't play magic but this is universal geek behavior. I've got one pragmatic friend who has no ritual, but most of us have "habits" when it comes to buying anything like this, dice in my case. We are a smart breed of people more or less, we know it's doesn't ACTUALLY matter. But we do it anyway.
Just now, after watching this like 10 times, I noticed that Alex grows his hair from one scene to the next about a month's worth and then shaves WHILE SITTING AT THE TABLE
This is basically what it was like when I introduced my friends to Magic. Except they eventually got much better than me... bloody squadron hawks and emeria angels everywhere

>Watch this the first time
>get interested in MtG
>Watch this three years later
>This is fucking hilarious
Same
same this got me into mtg
I mostly play to get the jokes.
Same boat
Same
"Can I teach you the stack?"
"I do programming you know"
I finally understand why it's called the stack
That actually makes a lot of sense, i thought it was cause the effects stacked on top of eachother or something
Joseph Bailey that's also true, for the same reasons. in both you make a stack, then resolve from the top
@@josephbailey5824 Yeah, both terms stem from that
Both are named after the stack of plates at a buffet.
"Episode one of our 4-episode commodoreHUSTLE spinoff" little did they know
Such foresight :D
4 now equals more than 70

@@amandaphipps1030 is that you Monika?
I just love coming back to these classics.They give me peace.
indeed, love these.
me too
Every single time I deck build it’s either this, pretty deece, or Rhystic studies. It’s just how things work
"You guys were so useless I just decided to read the rules for myself" lol
Funny how they teach paul in the first episode.
Then he goes to.. a pro... tour....
Oh Word what if the reason Paul wins the pro tour is because, in learning from all these doofuses, he figured out everything NOT to do.
Pretty much like a friend of mine thought me the game and now I made 4 friends quit the game already it’s not good I think I mean maybe I shouldn’t have 2 edh decks that are literally the same playing time storm
no fair i was going to say that
Oh Word I wouldn’t use the word “teach”
@@jedidr4918 they taught him what NOT to do

"I just pick this one."
-Every casual MtG player ever
***** "I weighed all your opinions and I thought that the best way to get the best pack is to buy the whole box."
-Every rich casual MtG player ever
nitrodog96 "Derp derp derp, I'm Alex, this is how I talk"
-Alex Steacy
***** Buy a box and rip into every pack, this curl up in the discarded wrappers and cry. -Me.
+Ryan James Buy a box, fall asleep under a blanket of discarded wrappers and dream of Ugin. -The Professor
+Xotame lol
I told my friend to tap his land, he started touching it like he was physically tapping
XD Ikr I was teaching my mom mtg and she did the same thing lol
Lol. That's why you should always explain things like a programmer. One 90 Degree Rotation Clockwise= TAP
Ih so I'm not the only one XD
Zachary Leacg That's what my older brother did when I first started teaching him too.
Omg I'm not the only one... I nearly died of laughter when my friend did it XD
I was today years old when I heard graham quietly in the background of the dice rolls say "Great!" and "Oh lovely!" for the first time.
I was so scared that I'd never rediscover this show again. I am very happy right now
A classic!
My pack-opening procedure is getting my friend Colton to do it. He got me a Nahiri and Avacyn in the same pack. He's lucky af.
I'll send him my packs. Once he opens it send it back
The Unwanted Veggie Tray he then sends back crappy cards
Hyun-Kun Animations then I make him film the openings
Lol this was originally meant to be a 4 episode series. If only they knew back then.
New season has been confirmed!(if the crowdfund works I mean… which it probably will, knowing the community)
Celebrating this with binging the series!

If only I had that
+Enragedguy24 hahaha xD
This perfectly encapsulates both what it's like to teach people Magic and what it's like learning it
The poster in the back " Practice safe drafts, sleeve your deck" XD
My card store needs that XD
+ClashCardsTCG every card store needs that xD you need to promote safe drafting
ClashCardsTCG mine as well. some newb played a arcbound ravager masterpiece unsleeved
LOL
Tetra Digm good luck not catching Sleeveless Tornup Decks
Watching James Turner smack the shit out of a pack of magic cards whilst looking straight at the camera always makes my heart jump
Becoming a magic player is not understanding the flash joke the first time, then coming back years later and actually understanding it and finding it funny
" 4-episode commodoreHUSTLE spinoff, Friday Nights"
Nice 4 episodes. :^)
Derp.Derp.Derp im alex this is how I talk.
I'm binge watching this anyone else who is binging on Friday nights, comments
Comment on this
+Waffle guy 75 me
me
Already binged it I do it everyday now lol
This is my 7-8 time
It took me awhile to realise where I remembered that store from, then I remembered I visited it when I was in Victoria last year. Awesome place! And the videos are great, too!

This is how I teach my friends to play magic. It... hasn't worked yet. But statistically, it will!
Hey LRR
This series is what got me into magic and I have made so many friends from the game and I thank you all for that.
The fake laughter after the "I had flash"-joke is fenominal
This just gets better and better the more times I watch it.
I was 9 years old when i first started playing and im now 19 amd this is still a classic. This series was easily one of the reasons i stuck with the game
starting a rewatch of this series for the 6th or 7th time in the 10 years it's been out and it never gets old; comfort series :)
its been like 7 years and i still pull from the bottom of the tallest stack when i pick my packs. Its never gotten out of my head
This is still one of my favorite videos on the internet. Magic has had such an impact on my life, and this series has been with me the whole time
the intro to this one is surprisingly relevant 10 yrs later
Time for my yearly rewatch of this entire series, 2024 edition.
derp, derp, derp im alex this is how i talk. gets me everytime XDD
+emputtaja Ikr
Rewatching the series for the fifth time in hopes of a new episode soon. I've got a good feeling about it this time.
I using my free weekend to just rewatch this series. Its gonna be epic.
I haven't watched these videos in so long but when these came out I was 12 and I rember just getting into magic and I wish you guys would do videos like this again but thank you for all the great content you have let's us watch over the years
Great news! We ran a kickstarter in January and were working on a new season of Friday Nights right now!
I just noticed Ed backing away from the counter after Graham gets statistics wrong and starts arguing with Kathleen. So subtle!
Binge watching these while sorting my collection. So many memories...
It’s that time again to watch every Friday Nights episode.
"i understand its a fine sunny day outside so its the perfect weather to stay indoors and play magic" haha that killed me. loving all these vids
how can a video from 9 years ago be so good
you guys struck gold with this.
Where it all started... Hard to think it has been almost 8 years. Harder to think it'll be over in a few days (I know they're still going to do Friday Nights even without WoTC, but still). I'll be binge watching all of the episodes for the next days :)
Anyone else come back to binge it all year after year?
nah
Buying an MTG booster box just to crack packs can be real fun. Yet as Cameron Lauder has said before, the correct thing to do is to draft! Or at least have some pack wars with friends...
+Ioannis Seg I agree with you but the Episode where Cam is first introduced is actually filmed after this one here it is M12 and Cam comes in when they rip Catecrash. All so this is the First episode.
+Ioannis Seg Running a sealed league is also an option.
Ioannis Seg or Winston draft
I watched Friday Nights before I ever played and now after two years of not playing I still come back to it. Great show
"Episode one of our 4 episode CommodoreHUSTLE spinoff"... It's the Coronation Street of Magic. (For those unaware, the long running British soap was supposed to be a 13 episode run or something similar.)
Best MTG series ever made. Well done guys
I still can't get over the Haka to start a game of Magic. I'm a NZer by the way so it's pretty funny.
Kinda hoping someone does that next Pro Tour.
maelstrom197
That would be glorious.
Harry King Being into all things rugby related and playing touch rugby here in Atlanta, I would laugh and cheer like a lunatic if someone did that to start a Pro Tour match day.

+Harry All Blacks at your local FNM
+BigBlack81 Im Tongan and play Magic haha. I know what your talking about hhhhh
Never open a pack with scissors...I regret it when I cut my Sorin
+CommanderSh!mi X Oh wow thats terrible... At least its still playable right?
Yes
+The elder bros he is pretty badly cut on the right edge, but he is still okay surprisingly. So now I have begun triple sleeving my decks
Nononononnononnononononnonononononnonononononnononononononnononononno... The flashbacks...
CommanderSh!mi X the pain reading this....
-Where did you come from?
+I have Flash?
8 years and that joke gets me every time
Most iconic og mtg content on youtube
i dont even play magic anymore but boy do i love these videos
>Scars of Mirrodin
>Mirrodin Besieged
>New Phyrexia
Dudes. Seriously. You re-joined magic during the PERFECT time. Those sets have some of the most powerful cards.

this series was awesome and my mates loved it, cause they are all MTG fans

Pity. It's so fun when you find a solid group to play with.
I do think you guys should be recording regular exhibition matches between yourselves. I'd watch the hell out of that!
I would pay for that. But I do watch the LRR draft games over at MTGO Academy.
PitFighter Watching them doing that is one of the reasons I would like to see more of it, even with paper Magic. :3
Victoria O'Connell That would be awesome to be honest. Seriously, I would pay to see them go against each other in exhibition games. (:
The prophecy
Always fun to leave a new comment on a classic, grew up with these. And now using them to help my wife learn mtg while also playing with me to learn. She enjoyed the first episode. Didn't get specific characters name. But got some stuff so felt good

11 fucking years..... god i love these skits and hope you guys make more. Pauls character arc from lost wanderer to GP contender was amazing to see
I love ready episode 1 of 4 in the description. I'm glad its now 45 episodes and still going.
"i'm not sure what it was, but it certainly was stirring" :D ty mat
This is the greatest video on all of TH-cam.
I've been quoting "how do I play? I understand it involves 'mana' in some way?" for almost a decade and just remembered where it came from
This takes me back. I first learned to play by reading the wikipedia article straight through
I'm from NZ, loved the reference. :D. I started watching Friday Nights, and I realised I should probably go back and watch them all. So here I am.
Holy crap. Were getting to the end of quarantine and I've watched this 7 times
The beginning of the LRR Magic Cinematic Universe
I love Magic humor lol, and I love this. It's rare to see it done well.
My pack picking procedure is relatively simple, I take the one the employee hands me. If the box is open and facing the customer side I take the highest sitting pack or the leftmost top of the tied stacks if more than 1 stack is tied for highest. That sounds more complex when written out than it is in practice.
First video I see from you guys, I got 4mins and 23 seconds into it. Favorited it, subscribed.
I love Paul's expressions in this one!

Me too!

It do be like that sometimes
THE BELOW IS FOR DIMIR EYES ONLY
Except when you pull with the best mill sets
Paul in the start of the video is how my non-magic playing friends hear me while I'm playing magic against my girlfriend
Man, this was in my recommended here in 2019. 7 years late to the party, lmao
I just noticed Matt's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World shirt! It's amazing!
I love the way Matt opens his booster pack. So comical! xD
you guys are freaking hilarious, im really happy that someone decided to make an mtg oriented channel.
1:19 JER DOES NOT HAVE FLASH
MaskMan191 he was wearing clothes, duh
Noah Bunis Oh, the references.
No jer has slow 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
You’re still allowed to cast creatures with flash on your main phase, though.
Nope just flying and affinity
These vids are my childhood 🥲
Didn't realize this was 10 years ago. almost to the day .-.
omg such an old episode i watch this in 2019 XD
man, seeing old Yellowjacket tackes me back
On the day of July 25, 2019 I started my quest to watch all 73 videos of this playlist. Go to the last video or look back here for the finish date.
Time for my yearly rewatch
wow this is amazing i would love to go into their secret lair of magic playing
This is basically what it was like when I introduced my friends to Magic. Except they eventually got much better than me... bloody squadron hawks and emeria angels everywhere
He traded the Juggernaut for a full art Zendikar forest. WHAT THE HELL? AS IF ANYONE WOULD REALLY DO THAT!
Really loving the little Easter egg at 4:03.
Graham Stark: Is here because promised pie.
Matthew Wiggins: Really has no idea what he's talking about.
Hi I am also a trans woman named Emily who loves Sylveon. No other point to this comment just thought, hey neat, and wanted to say hi
Man I don't understand anything about mtg but I love this series.
Wild that this has 1.1 million views but only 7k likes. I see everyone else is also returning for nostalgia
Start of a fantastic series.
I'm sooo glad this exists
