Alright dude, sure, I’ll watch.
*Cubes are 360 cards minimum, not 320.
Additional terms not included in the video:
--Aristocrats: A deck that plays small creatures and a sac engine.
--Multiplayer: Game with 3+ players (e.g. Commander) rather than only 2.
--"Real"/Non-Game: If a player couldn't take meaningful actions (e.g. they got manascrewed or the opponent combos on turn 1-2), it could called a "non-game" or not a "real" game. Also refers to players who finish their match and continue playing for fun, the official match was the "real" game and the "for fun" games aren't "real".
And yes, this comment is here because I hit the character limit in the video description with all the timecodes.
Bro you're awesome!
*cubes generally have a minimum size of 360, but really just refer to a custom draft format ranging from 90 card micro cubes to no upper bound
I don't know if this is a difference between MtG and Hearthstone's vernacular, but to me jank isn't just a bad card. It's a card that's bad specifically because it's too gimmicky or restricted to be useful.
@@murlocaggrob2192yeah, jank isn't something like a 5 mana 3/2 with trample, it's a combo that needs you to have five specific permanents on the board. alt win cons are basically always jank
Pretty crazy after playing the game for almost 15 years that all these term you learn naturally, but when you look back on it, you realize how much you've learned without really trying
I remember the names and designs of the all the 1st and 2nd generation Pokemon, because they came out when I watched the cartoon and played the card and videogames, but nowadays I don't know any of the "newer" ones.
Tolarian Community College: "Here are some slangs to get you started playing MTG!"
TheManaLogs: "Here are more slangs to get you started playing MTG."
AmmiO2:
Small correction for proxy. Proxies are not always used in unofficial means. For sets with dfcs, often during drafts you use single sided list cards, where you check off what card you are playing, so that players that don’t use sleeves don’t have an advantage. Judges can also make proxies during tournaments, if they deem a card is not sleeve playable. A great example of this is the card nexus of fate. When it came it, it only was a foil buy a box promo, and was so warped, it was unplayable, requiring official proxies to be used in tournaments.
7:30 Ehehehe, he said Elesh Norn has a big butt...
the perfect video to show any friend of yours who´s intrested in magic, to have them turn their back on the game immediatly xD
a few of these terms you defined by just saying the term again, noticed it around P with "play around" and "playable". otherwise, great video!
*for people who genuinely don't know what those slang terms mean, here are some definitions
Play Around: to take game actions expecting the opponent to have a certain card or effect available to them, and avoiding the potential risk of them doing that. for example, if your opponent has two untapped islands on your turn, you might not play your bomb on your turn to avoid it getting countered with counterspell. in that scenario, you would be "playing around" the opponent's counterspell.
Playable: in a deckbuilding context, this refers to a card that fits in your deck's colors and does something your deck wants, though it may not be the most efficient version of that effect within the format; for example, in a mono red midrange deck, shivan dragon is considered "playable" because it's a 5/5 with flying that can utilize unspent mana to hit harder, though a card like glorybringer fulfills the job of a large flying creature with more flexibility. in gameplay, "playable" refers to cards that either improve your ability to win or mitigate your opponent's ability to win, when contrasted with a card being "unplayable," such as a removal spell when your opponent has no creatures, or a card that costs more mana than you have available to you. for example, a "playable 3 drop" would be a card that costs 3 mana of which you can pay, that can be used for its full intended effect; or you might here someone say their hand is "full of unplayable cards," referencing that they cannot be cast, or cannot be used productively.
22:09 is that not what we call group slug?
10:11 There technically are names for 4 color cards (or at least EDHREC uses these names). They are named after the Nephilim from Guildpact;
WUBR is Yore-Tiller
UBRG is Glint-Eye
BRGW is Dune-Brood
RGWU is Ink-Treader
GWUB is Witch-Maw
I personally don't think most magic players could name all (or any) of them but I do think they are worth mentioning
As far as I'm aware, the Nephilim names were only ever used because Wotc hasn't officially named them and they were the first 4-color cards.
It's similar to how players referred to the 3-color triads pre-Alara/Tarkir with either phonetic soundings (RUG, BUG) or made up terms like "Junk" (Abzan) or "America" (Jeskai).
I've rarely heard players use the Nephilim names, rather more often referred to as "4-color sans-(missing color)".
I just call them Nephalim (color) with the named color being what they *don't* have. Like a UBWG card being a Nephilim Red.
I had always thought that stax was like stasis and taxes kinda just crammed together
not untrue to stax's gameplan, i will choose to believe this etymology over the old "smokestacks" one
This is actually a very handy video as I wasn’t aware of all the lingo within the community so it’s good to know.
started 2018: I've always wondered if the turn "bricked" came from computing, as when a PC "bricks" it's stopped working due to a critical failure
Thank you, at least my friends can understand me when I talk to them about magic
*Looks at clock, noticing it’s 3:00AM*
“Yeah, I got time.”
If they ever make an Un-set Melvin Legend, he needs to have the most convoluted tax effect imaginable
15:35 The meaning of 'eat' that I'm familiar with is when a creature is big enough to win combat without trading. E.g. sheoldred eats attackers so she's good for stabilizing the board.
The term "eat" broadly gets used to describe one cards removing one or more other cards from play. (Ex: "my scooze eats your atraxa", "I cast prizefight and my token eats your creature", "I cast Gods willing and my creature eats your attacker")
cEDH... during a tournament, an opponent told me they mostly just play cEDH. Not knowing what it was, I said, "Oh, is that Canadian EDH?" He was annoyed at that question but ...I thought perhaps there was such a thing... oops.
There is a format called Canadian Highlander.
@@MrHat. Ha! I thought I had heard that somewhere.
There are some other pet names for creatures along the same theme as Gary, Sad Robot and Prime Time.
Den Protector is sometimes referred to as "Maternal Witness" as its card art depicts it as a mother carrying a child but it performs the same action as Eternal Witness.
Tim is Prodigal Sorcerer in reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. People didnt wanna say his name all the time so he got Tim.
Young Pyromancer is commonly called Young Peezy for mostly the same reason but this time hes not an old wizard but a young kid instead.
Also I noticed you missed one that I've been playing recently. Elfball. Basically an Elf tribal deck because they quickly grow outta control because lots of elves produce mana which makes more elves which make mana so they roll together (usually over the opponent) hence the ball shape that is referred to
Dog i just woke up after a panick attack and watched this without worrying about what time it is. This is the most relaxing thing ever. Your music is soo good
A guide for vintage cube will be nice. Love u r videos
I played Magic The Gathering once. I will now watch this.
25:48 worth it for the lands alone!!
The origin given for the name "Magic: the Gathering" is not quite right. Originally, the plan was for each set to have its own subtitle and its own card back, as in "Magic: Arabian Nights" and "Magic: Ice Age". "The Gathering" was meant to be the subtitle of the first set. Eventually, the plan was scrapped, and "Magic: the Gathering" became the name of the entire game.
This is an amazing list!
'Singleton' can also refer to a 1-of (in a non-singleton format).
Flample, my beloved
thank you very much. had a tough last year but the ulamog vs goyf in the "go over" with the goyf utering "eek" geuinely made me laugh
Dang, if I wasn't on a time crunch I'd watch this right now. Gonna have to save this for later.
I thought MTGO was sometimes referred to as MODO: Magic Online Digital Object.
Another definition for the word Tank is when you don't block any of your opponents attackers, So I'll tank the hit. Especially when your life is getting dangerously low or keeping your creatures around is more valuable for a different reason.
1-of's specifically are also referred to sometimes as misers copies
Loved it! Thank you so much!
Never heard anyone call a group slug deck a bear hug one, but that's only semantics. I guess there's 301 terms now :)
Cool how those are mostly for the us player. We do use most of them but we have other too
I still will always hate how 'counter' refers to two completely different game things and I'm surprised some silly unset card hasn't played with that. Like a cleave card that says [Put a +1/+1] counter [on] target spell.
1 hour of lecture about mtg ...i lived long enough.
Awesome video! Watching Mengu's videos, I believe he uses EVERY single one of these, lol. Also, not gonna lie, when you got to "M" I started to get triggered... hehe
"M" is my brand at this point; I can't deny the people.
I think that's all of them, except for "bear test". Does this creature pass the bear test? 🐻
as someone who has only been playing for ~3 years...i still don't get "cantrip". i feel like "2 mana" and "draw and" are the things i always see in relation to the word, but this definition doesnt use either term? just a card that replaces itself? idk man
Cantrips are just cheap spells that replace themselves.
Traditional cantrips are things like Ponder and Opt, but you can also say things like Omnath "cantrips" when it enters.
Original cantrips are spells that draw a card that started in Ice Age (those are called "slow cantrips" as you only drew at the next upkeep). They are often not very good as the extra card is paid in mana.
Ex : 2B for draining 1 life and drawing a card, or 6R for 3 damages to any target and drawing a card.
The good ones are those with very compact effect and low cost, mainly ponder, preordain, opt, consider and serum visions. They are the cards refered as "cantrips" because they are the only competitively viable ones in constructed.
this is fantastic
Idk if this counts but I heard "cash" used in a planeswalker who has the exact loyalty to activate his ultimate so you "cash it" by getting rid of him but getting the ultimate.
Still looking for a term that describes your opening hand where you have the right ratio of lands to spells and the spells are on curve but lands are in different colors than spells so the hand is technically unplayable :)
Color-screwed.
7:30 I spat my drink after doing other things and zoning out while listening to this
31:20, wasn’t there a mtg client before mtgo? I remember watching a video about it one time. It isn’t playable anymore but It once existed.
Edit: it was called magic duels, harrymtg made a video about it.
Yeah there were older ways to play Magic Digitally, but they always had some limitation in regards to either card pool or rules system.
The term "Bolt the Bird" makes me wish Shock was competitively viable, because then we'd all be talking about "Shocking the Monkey"
God, I hope nobody calls that a Coal Chamber reference...
I think extraction effect comes from the card 'Extract'
Doing gods' work
This video is awesome.
Thanks
An egg is more specifically a zero mana artifact, not really a artifact that sacs for a card, although mishra's bauble is both.
Eggs refer to a set of cards from Mirage block that sac for mana and draw cards. The term ended up being used for any cheap artifact that draws a card. I think what you're referring to here are "cheerios".
Did the "Cheese Stands Alone" un-set card predate the term cheese?
I don't think so since the term "Cheese" is used in games broadly, not just MTG.
French Vanilla refers to creatures that only have keyworded abilities. Serra Angel is a french vanilla creature.
Also, you missed Ping (to deal 1 damage to something).
Checkmate
Alright, found my nightime white noise.
the effort. just the effort is enough
Checks schedule. Yep I got time
Alrighttt itme to watch this
I'm going to watch the entire thing eventually, but please, I beg of you to use timestamps for different words
Added just for you ; )
@@AmmiO2 thank you kindly
Nice
Oh no... I knew all of them
Very cool! This would be a great video for new players
👍
young PZ ?!?!?!
0:37 why’d you use an unofficial card back for this?
It was a mistake. Thank you for pointing it out. I will replace the image for future videos.
i thought stax was stacking taxes
7:25 Funny.
You missed one. Reprint the reserve list!!! Hear hear!!!
Bear is specifically 2/2 for 1 Generic and 1 Color of Mana
Meddling mage is considered a hatebear. So is Gaddock Teeg.
"Get In" did not make the list
MODO, not "MOTO"
MAN - UH
NOT
MON - AH
Jam - to cast spells into counterspells to get rid of them
cut - cutting a deck
steal- winning a game you shouldnt have won, you stole a game.
Eyyy thats my mtgo username! DeadOnBoard! >.
