Do a video on your top 10 cards or top 20 please! Love the content!
Have you collected Pokemon cards
I've been watching you for a long time boogie ! Love your videos and it's been amazing listening to your videos while I play games for atleast 6 years now. But my fav videos have always been the card openings so id love to see more 😁
I can't see anything. Do you need to make an account/follow in order to see it or did you just not add anything there yet?
Do you ship overseas @boogie2988
I know nothing about MTG, but I enjoy watching people talk about things they're passionate about.
Same lol I have no idea what’s going on but I like the backstory attached to getting into it
Same with me… But I love hearing the backstory behind this lifestyle
Same
Magic is Amazing!! For example, on the bottom right corners of the the cards you'll see something like 3/1 or 4/2, etc. The first number is the card's Power and the the 2 is the card's Strength. On the the top right corners of the cards is the Mana that it costs to cast your spell. For example, if you see 2 and a water symbol that means it costs 2 of any land cards and a land card that matches the symbol. And if it says 5 and 2 fire symbols that mean it costs 5 of any land cards and 2 land cards that matches the symbol. Magic is a lot of fun and it's such a rewarding game once you start to understand it. It's basically about strategy and building a deck you like to play with. The goal of the game is to knock your opponents health from 20 down to 0. I'm no pro at Magic by any means lol, I'm still learning about the game myself, I've only been playing for about a year. My neighbor across the street got me to play Magic with him one day and I started to like it to the point we play every other weekend at his house.
Loving the uptick in content!
Dang boogie, after watching this I called my mom and asked if my mtg cards are still in the garage. Yup 3 shoe boxes of first additions. 94-97. I forgot I even had these lmao. All sleeved.
@@yty-p9k doubt it but it was a cool find.
You should go and see what you have in value if you don’t plan on playing. You’d be surprised what some cards are worth.
Soulherder is one of my favorite cards. It's in my arena Chulane Historic Brawl deck. Blink is a lot more fun than I anticipated.
Boogie, I was one of the MtG judges for Ed Fox back in the 90s. I clearly remember you attending the Urza’s Saga prerelease in Kansas, in October 1998.
Cheers!
I don’t own or play any magic cards. Just here to support my boi 🤙
I started MTG back in about 2005 and went to game conventions for a few years and then fell off for a very long time. Now I have kids and they want to go to gaming conventions and guess what? I can live once again lol
I don’t play or collect Magic but enjoy watching the breaks and your cards. Great idea.
Not a big fan of magic, but I’m a big fan of you. I’d watch whatever you post 💙
Been playing on and off since 94, I like this series! Would love to cube with you one day!
Loved hearing how passionate you are with this and especially your story! Keep up the great work as always man. Listening to your stories and experiences are always appreciated
Don't fall for this scam!
I love Boogies camp fire stories, so soothing, relaxing, and a moment for me to really take a pause from my workday
I believe cube is the best way to play, it's typical fair due to draft format and you get to see people's favorite cards and play styles.
Hey, Boogie. Would you be willing to teach us how to play? Would be neat to see you and one of your friends playing and both of you explain your turns. I know there's videos out there on how to play but seeing you teach is a much more interesting idea to me.
I would love that also.
Don't know Magic, I'm a pokemon guy but still enjoy videos like this. Sort of like a storytime video.
Never played magic but used to play YUGIOH and would love to learn more about magic
Just keep doing it here on this channel. You do you man it's all part of who you are and that's your channel at this point.
Dude I'm getting back into it. Since they reprint the crap out of the sets like the Inistrad I'm making new decks on werewolves and god's . Probably gonna get a booster box for the Dominaria set and get some friends to play together, also DUDE your dual lands are 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🔥
Edit: the whole cube is blinged out and i love it 👍
Big fan here Don't know if you watch stranger things but I'd follow you to the upside down Boogie2988
Thank you for bringing magic videos back! I been on a hype train with magic for the last year or so and just seeing you as well with my other favorite content creators, really helps me be an active member in my community. I love learning about older cards and just more about the game in general! ❤️
Don't fall for this scam!
I don't play Magic but still follow you to the ends of the Earth I am a big fan
So happy to see the return of magic Mondays! And your cube…my god, actually insane, the stuff of dreams!
On the future, I don’t think I’d go for a membership for the content just because my TH-cam bill is starting to look like a cable bill but I’d happily support a second channel for it
love your magic content boogie
I grew up with MTG and as the years went by I got caught up in other things, but every so often I find myself coming back to it. I personally loved seeing the cards and hearing the stories from a casual player perspective. I’d love to see Magic Mondays a permanent thing.
Boogie,
I have been your fan for closing in on a decade. I have discovered and fell in love with MTG in the last 2 years. While I am definitely experiencing the college brokeness you referenced, I agree that being apart of this community is the main way I enjoy the game. I would love to see more videos from you about MTG, especially those EDH decks you mentioned. I hope I can do so as just a basic viewer of this channel or a sub on a different channel. Love you very much.
Boogie I'll be honest. I've played Pokemon and a little Yu-Gi-Oh, but never have been interested in MTG. My cousin tried so hard to get me into it, but I just never took up with it. But listening to your story and how much you love the game - I could listen to that for hours. Love listening to people talk about what they love and are passionate about.
I LOVE HEARING YOU TALK ABOUT MAGIC BOOGIE!
I'm here most of the time anyway, but I'm EXTRA here for Magic Mondays!!
In regards to how you meet "normal" people, you do what your already doing Boogie, go to something that you enjoy and meet like minded people. "Normal" is what you enjoy. I did the same thing in college. First day of freshman year, outside of our classroom and our teach was late. It was a game design school and I just randomly purposed a question to everyone there, "So, anyone else going to PAX?" Mind you this was when there was just the one PAX, and it was so low key you could walk up to the ticket booth at the Bellevue Expo center and buy a ticket. But everyone immediately started to talk to each other about gaming, music in gaming and art. TLDR: Do things that include what you like to do in a social setting and you can find friends there.
Magic mondays for the win!
I dabbled into magic while I was in college during the pandemic. I barely know the basics and I think my roommate and I played by our own rules.. but it’s just satisfying to play and especially satisfying to see such a large collection!
About the question that you asked, I think it would be best if you just kept one video a week like magic Mondays. Or Friday night magic
Great memories. I started playing during the 4th and 5th Edition. I still have most of these cards stored away. You've motivated me to bring them out and teach my five year old. Good times!!
I have never played Magic the Gathering or any other card game, but what always fascinated me were the beautiful designs and drawings on the cards. I also never understood when players criticized a certain series within the game. To me as an observer all cards look the same. It is absolutely necessary to study the matter thoroughly to have an idea of what makes a bad or good set.
I just got hooked on mtg arena 2 days ago. Should I get out while I can?
here to say I could listen you talking about mtg forever boogie. Great content for those of us who are here! Hope all is well.
Don't fall for this scam!
Don't know much about MTG but always happy to watch anything you're interested in. Sometimes I learn new things. A weekly video like you said would be cool.
Enjoyed this a lot. I've been playing since 1995 on and off and also have a pretty solid cube. Definitely would love to see more content like this
I was 19-21 I believe when I sold all my collection to a friend for a steal. In 35 now and I miss it for sure. We used to play a lot throughout middle School, but teachers really frowned upon gaming in high school, even though we technically weren't supposed to be playing in middle School either. We were all nerds so we got good grades and first to finish tests types so we stayed out of trouble and got special treatment. Not getting to play really consistently for a few years got me out of the mood of it so I rehomed my legendary collection.
I only played in one official tournament in maybe 8 or 9th grade, third place beating out adults. I was a savant, only thing that lost me the last match was nervousness caused one minor mistake that began my downward trajectory. I got lucky with a handful of circle of protections maybe from 7th edition (maybe, can't remember) and I was able to hang in matches until I could build up my army or spells and develop a plan to win.
I remember that I let a lot of my friends win matches against me knowing I could smother them because it was all about having fun and sportsmanship to me. I even let people win just to see how they played and their deck strategy. I had one deck I was proud of, all green, all commons. All about regular creatures and enhancements or whatever they are called. I could have a handful of green creatures out with 5/5-20/20 with flying, trample, whatever. Very powerful deck that I built up and perfected over time. Wonder if my friend kept it together..
And I can't keep up with all the new rules and abilities these days. Loved the art of it and back story. My Mom... She thought they were demonic. I'm sure you can relate. Thanks for the memories boogie
Oh! Get this, I once bought two boosters of.. what's it called... Unglued!!! I got both sides of BFM in just two boosters! Impossible odds! I remember though I used to be.. Still am.. So anal and OCD, we were in the locker room in athletics and a jock grabbed my cards in my hand, BFM being some. They got bent and k as so mad and depressed my one friend felt bad and placed them in a stack of books to flatten it. I'll admit, he fixed them but I thought they were still tainted and no longer perfect so I told him he could have BFM.
Started playing MTG (specifically commander) about a year ago to keep in touch with my friends who live in a different state than I do. I can say it’s legit one of the best games I’ve ever played ever. I have quickly built a nice collection of cards as well as 9 (soon to be 10 once the Warhammer decks finally drop) commander decks. I still have a lot to learn but I can confidently say if you’ve never played MTG for whatever reason you have and are reading this give it a chance. Have someone teach you, you will lose a lot but each loss will make you better as you figure out how to play, build and master the decks you make.
Magic mondays - keep it on the same channel. You can share your magic stores over the last 30 years.
Love your videos
As a Magic fan, Magic Mondays sounds awesome! I’m sure that even the non-Magic fans will love just hearing you tell stories and show off your cards.
Don't fall for this scam!
Boogie woogie hello there
II LOVE MAGIC MONDAYS!!!
I absolutely loved this. I know very, very, very little about MTG, but I did grow up when it first started to become popular. I bought a few packs back in the day simply because I loved the art on them. It's the sort of thing where even if you don't play them you can still really appreciate the artwork. There's a particular card I'll never forget, even though it was really common, simply because at the time I thought it looked absolutely amazing: Brush with Death. No idea how to play MTG and don't know if I'd ever get into the game itself, but they sure look cool to me. And I appreciate when someone is passionate about a hobby. I really enjoy vids like this. Do what you love.
I've never played Cube. I tried commander once and got wrecked. Friend who tried to "Teach" me used his best deck and turn 2 was insane. But I got interest in eventually learning. I started back in the 90s and still got a lot of my older cards. I know ya hate Urza's but I got them Urza's lands that made my artifact decks work wonders! I still got old ice age cards and the OG javalineers, etc. I still miss Banding sometimes hah. I have grabbed some cards now and then. I do have a weakness for Ravnica. As for tournaments I've only entered 2, mostly went to pre-release events. But I won 1 of the tournys for a Masters one. I forget which year, but I had Cyclonic Rift and it carried me HARD. Every time I got in a pinch I board wiped. I do miss events like that but less likely masters. I want to say it was like 70$ just to play.
Edit: Also I gotta say Amonkhet with the Egyptian set and the Artifact one right after with the Aether, love those. I really need more MTG friends. lol
I laughed the number of parallels between the two of us growing up. I grew up in Bowling Green Kentucky and went to Upward Bound for my junior and senior year. Got into magic and late 94 with the Dark and revised, and ended up getting out during the Ursa Saga because of what Tolarian Academy did to type one. Got back in again with original Ravnica but ended up getting out during Future Site because I deployed to iraq. I actually got back into Magic the Gathering because of you Boogie when M15 came out, you talked about it a lot and it really piqued my interest and I decided to get back in and have been playing ever since. Genesis Hydra ended up being one of my favorite cards as well and I won several championships because of it and Devotion.
I meet new people at church, my internships, my job (which is retail, so social), and from those people I’ll often meet other people too. Not too mysterious lol.
I got addicted back in 1994. Didn't get heavy into it until 4th Edition. Loved 4th Edition and the computer version by Microprose. Loved this video. Troll and Toad... Brings me back. I'd pay for this content behind a paywall.
Finally, magic stuff. I really only play arena these days, it's a bit more accessible for me. I'd like to see you go through a few games of it and would like to hear your commentary along the way
As someone who just started Magic as an ex-Yugioh player, it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’m here for these Magic vids Boogie, keep ‘em coming man!
I know nothing of MTG but it’s relaxing to have this on in the background while I play other games; it’s what I enjoy about your MTG streams too.
Love a wee Boogie story time 🤗
Mondays put out a short “gaming news” etc. video for the regulars but devote the bulk of the day to Magic. Do what your enthusiastic about bud, it slows the burn out…and I enjoy you pop’n packs and explaining the game. Cheers
As a cube owner myself I appreciate this content if you start to do it
I was 9 years old in '94, and to this day I remember seeing mtg cards for the first time. I was lucky in that my parents were big D&D players in their youth, so they were all for letting me get into mtg.
Don't fall for this scam!
Happy to see the mtg content.
Boogie great video, like i said last time i just enjoy seeing you happy and i like the idea of membership videos or re uploading on Boogie plays as I'm subbed to that as well but whatever you decide I'll watch it. Also I'm glad you and the professor still talk since you introduced me to his channel and like i said i just enjoy watching videos about MTG even though i don't really play it myself. But i enjoyed hearing the story and seeing the cards i really liked seeing the different card designs through the years.
Boogie i would pay big money if you were to sign and sell cards. I made the mistake of selling my small collection after graduating high school in 2013 that was around 300$, then i picked magic back up in 2020 and realized that those cards added up to over 1000$ over the years. I no longer sell any of my cards instead i chase after signatures or autographs on all my expensive cards. Most recently my best friend bought me an imperial seal reprint and i asked him to sign it. Monetary value means nothing compared to the emtional value these cards bring.
Like many others have commented… I don’t know anything about Magic. But I enjoy watching you open Pokemon & Magic packs & talking about it. Looking forward to more. I would be interested to see what your most valuable cards are and how much they are worth.
Love you, Boogie! I've honestly got NOOOO Interest in MAGIC... BUT! As I've said before, I will gladly listen to you talk about stuff that you're passionate about! Thanks for the Upload! Twas a fun one! Haha ❤️❣️😁❣️❤️
What do you think of the Secret Lair guilded foils? And their foils as well? Any curling problems or did they come out nice?
I don't play MTG but I like watching unboxings and stuff just to see the artwork lol. It's neat
I love MTG. I would love to see you do more on it.
I Started Playing MTG just recently 2018 I think and it become one of my favourite card games! Im a long time Yugioh player and Magic was not known in my area of living but yugioh was so I didnt know about Magic when I was a kid but I watched yugioh and played the game...
I’m glad to see boogies still post!!! I love you bro
the classic heaven and hell deck. I loved 3rd Ed and revised. played so many tournaments and endless weekends spent playing with buds. I miss it and I do not even reconise the game anymore, would like to get back into it but it is so so different these days.
I play Arena these days. However, played from 93/94 until this year. Mainly played mono black or b/r removal. My favorite befor my big break was b/r discard (megrim and wheel of fortune).
i know nothing about magic the gathering but sitting here with my buddy boogie telling me about it is always a good time
I love the artwork on these cards but never been into it, be cool if you made a little series for beginners. Kinda cool you started playing when I was born 🤘🏻
Do your top 10 cards
So happy you have MtG content again. Would be happy to follow your personal and Magic journey.
I started to play MtG in the late 90's , did not play for 16 years and started again 2016. It really is cardboard crack.
All the best to whoever reads this.
I make life long friends at card shops playing Magic. I love Magic the Gathering and Cube is the best format to play.
I have been playing MTG since 2011, started right before the original Innistrad set released. I will watch any MTG content you release. Keep up the amazing work my friend.
I love dnd and Pathfinder. I've never played magic but I've had many friends even school teachers that played it throughout my life. I don't have the slightest clue how it works. But I enjoyed looking at the art and hearing the stories
I actually played your cube when you stopped by Taiga games in Marquette Mi in 2016(?) keep up the MTG content! Glad to see it still gives you joy :)
I remember when I discovered MTG back in 2008, I came across your Francis rage videos and I've been a subscriber (from different accounts) ever since. Glad to see you talking about Magic again.
You make great videos so even if this series doesn't get the best views at first, it'll attract new types of viewers to your channel! As for me, I'm really enjoying your magic videos and look forward to more.
I'm no lawer but I'd say just include a Magic episode a week. I actually JUST started playing yesterday and I'm your age. Buying the first pack and someone showing me how to play. Really enjoying it.
Your so awesome I appreciate your hard work on losing weight I need to lose 170 or so your a inspiration
Looks like a fun cube to play. I like trying out the different types of drafting for cube too.
Would love to see mtg mondays more! Doesnt have to be unboxings every time, could be things like meta / strat discussion, state of the game, going through collections, etc just like this vid
When Boogie mentions your hometown "Lubbock", Dang I was that close to meeting the man the myth.
Pretty much everyone makes friends thru a common interest like going to comic cons, church, gym and bookstores. The Other ways are thru work and school or neighbors. That's how most people build their social network.
Commenting for the algorithm
Let's be honest Boogie. As collectors we keep telling ourselves that we are making an "investment", but we both know we have no intention of ever selling the good cards lol. A bit of advice on the question you asked. If you truly do enjoy magic and it brings you joy, don't mix it with money. It becomes a job. When you do it because you want to it really shows.
I’ve been playing MTG on and off over the years since day 1. I remember the days of Type 1 and Type and Type 2. I used to go to FNM every Friday and play Standard and Legacy. Later on, I got out of the tournament scene and was pretty much only playing Commander. I’ve met some cool people and made some good friends over the years, but I also met a lot of elitist assholes and gatekeepers that ruined the game for me. I haven’t played in about a year since the Strixhaven set. I really miss playing and have considered getting back into it, but I don’t know if I want to commit a lot of money and time only to have toxic players run me off again.
I started playing in 1996, I remember using the colored bead things as life counters.
I have a bunch of Magic cards from the 90’s in mint condition. But, I don’t have that Rare Black Lotus 🪷 😭
Dude, I live in Wise, VA - lol
I like the idea of Magic Mondays. Haven’t played magic in 20 years but still like hearing about it and enjoy happy Boogie :)
Keep "Magic Mondays" going! Love listening to you talking about Magic, and I too have been in this hobby since 1994 (revised).
Would love to see your Commander decks.
I played for a bit and have a good Revised Edition set. I just looked at some of the prices of them. OMG. Most I just took out and put into sleeves.
If you want the money videos, pokemon pack openings are the way to go atm. A new set is about to drop at the end of the month.
I’ve never liked MTG but what actually got me into this channel years ago was the MTG opening videos. I was thinking about giving it a try but I couldn’t ever stay interested in playing but I absolutely love pack opening videos
Boogie, while I understand your TH-cam revenue has tanked, I don't think a pay-wall is a good idea. I'm not a MTG player, but I enjoy listening to you talk about things that make you happy.
I used to play a lot of D&D, a few video games (mostly Halo 1, 2, and 3), and have thousands of hours sunk into Minecraft, but I still like hearing about things that make the people I follow passionate, even if I can't relate specifically to the content.
Keep the MTG on the main and make it a regular series. Those who don't like this content will only have to wait a day or so for the next video.
Keep being you. Those who matter won't mind, and those that mind don't matter.
I have a whole brand new sealed 5th edition box from 1997 that has just been sitting in my closet. I bought it years ago with hoping to draft it, but I haven't done it yet lol
I quit playing magic years ago, but I got in about the same time as you. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane. :)
