Tolarian Community College can you please go over Tempo/Card advantage? It seems like a topic that many newer players have trouble understanding. Thanks :)
Frequently used jargon! I often hear people describe decks or attributes of decks/cards with jargon that isn't readily apparent (to me the beginner). I've heard stuff (ironically enough) like tutoring,or flavor, and just things along those lines.
I'd love if you introduce each archetype, i.e tempo, control, aggro, tribal. And then make a video about each and every type of archetype. For example: one video only covering aggro. One video only about control. :D
As a new magic player starting 3 years after this video, this is still super helpful. Building a deck is about the most careful part and was challenging to learn how to do properly, but I have to say this video has helped TREMENDOUSLY with that! Definitely a great, ageless video. 👍
I'm sure this has been said, but I'm throwing it on the pile in the hopes that this series continues a long time: I love this series. It is great for intermediate people like me trying to get better. Thanks for doing them and please continue!
It's amazing the passion with which you give classes. I would have loved to have such a teacher at school Extremely entertaining class and very organized. Thank you
Really enjoying the more technical videos. Breaking down the nuts and bolts of how the decks work and the "why" of how cards are chosen is very useful information.
Just getting into Magic and ill say these videos are super helpful not only for the topic of videos but also showing me cards that are out there for both modern and bonus my commander decks.
Professor, this kind of content is what sets you apart as the best MTG content creator for your specific area. Pray continue your most excellent lectures
Really thankful that I found this channel! Just started playing mtg a few months ago when my workplace went into lockdown and needed to find something to keep my clients excited and engaged with something. Was always super intimidated by mtg and shied away from attempting to play until my late 20s, now I'm having a blast learning it!. Big thank you!
I've been playing magic for over 4 years now and i'm astonished at how much i learned from this one video. Didn't know mana curve and how your land base in draft can be tuned to that extent. very cool
Hate drafting a card is not, statistically speaking, a valuable method of decision making for making your draft deck in that scenario the best it can possibly be and allowing you to maximize win percentage. It can be fun and I'm not looking to deride you for doing it but I wanted to comment to note that it's certainly not "correct" as far as statistical win percentage over time is viewed.
If i was in Green then i have probally picked up a Gift of Paradise or something simular in the first 2 packs, so i would pick the Glorybringer and prioritise fixing later in the pack. If i wasn't in Green and was W/B or something, then i would take a good Uncommon or premiem Common over it, but if it's a mediocure pack then i'll just take it. Glorybringer really isn't nice to play against so as long as i'm not sacrifceing too much i'd take it.
I highly recommend you read this whole article but I'm going to quote from a portion of it that explains why you get no value from hate drafting, especially early in an individual pack (magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/beyond-basics/dont-hate-draft-2016-07-28) "But let's back up for a second. Let's run through what it takes for a hate draft of any individual card to positively impact your draft. It requires several things happening: The card that you would be hate drafting needs to get to someone who can play it. There are plenty of reasons for someone to take it after you: Maybe they picked up a white card or two and think they could end up playing it, but ultimately can't. Maybe someone who is currently in white takes it, but ends up bailing. Maybe someone who hasn't read this article decides to hate draft it. Any number of reasons could prevent the card from being played. You have to play against that person. There's far from a guarantee you'll end up playing against whoever ends up with the card. (And even less likely if you're playing in an event where Round 1 is paired four seats away from you.) If you plan on winning the three matches in your eight-person draft pod (which, of course, you do!), then you'll face fewer than half of the other players in the draft. Even if the card is incredibly strong, that doesn't mean they're necessarily favored to win their match. I mean, how many times have you drafted an awesome rare and still lost? It happens frequently. One Archangel Avacyn doesn't entirely salvage a weak Draft deck. Plus, all kinds of things can happen-they can be short on lands, their opponent can have the perfect answer, and so on. They have to draw that card, and cast that card against you, and have it be better than what they would have played instead, and it has to help them win the game. Okay. So you pass the card to someone who ends up playing it, and then you do get paired against them. Next, they actually have to draw it! It doesn't matter if the card they have is as absurd as Umezawa's Jitte-if they don't draw it, or they draw it and can't cast it, or they draw it at a time when it's ineffectual, then it doesn't end up mattering. Now, compare that list to what it takes to make a card that's good in your deck. To make a card you pick for your deck useful, you have to 1) play it in your final deck, and 2) draw it in any of your games and have it work toward winning you the match. There's a chance it will be relevant in every game you play, as opposed to only against certain people." -Gavin Verhey
I thoroughly enjoy your presentation and execution. I have not played in many years and recently picked up Magic Arena and this was incredibly insightful. Peace be upon you sir.
It is these kinds of videos that do more than just "entertain" the MtG community but add value by helping build better players and therefore make the game of Magic better globally! Thanks prof!
Maybe my favorite series from you so far. I'm a 20+ year player (mostly casual) your mana tutor tips taught this old dog new tricks. Thanks and looking forward to more. I'd love to hear more about non green ramping.
I've been playing for almost a year and have built quite a few different decks yet you have made me think about things from a new light. The learning never ends with this game! Thanks for this :P
I love Tolarian Tutor :] If Tolarian Community College had a series about the rules of Magic, then it would have gone full circle, covering every single topic of Magic
Really glad I stumbled across this channel. It's helping me feel much more informed about how to get back into MTG, and how to go about making a deck from all the cards out there.
Thank you so much Professor! All your vids (especially this new tolarian tutor series) is helping me greatly at becoming a better magic player. I look forward to your videos every single day. Thank you!
I'm not sure if my comment was seen in the last video, but the camera position was changed and it is amazing! The center framing without the cut off on top is perfect. Very appealing.
My gf is getting into the game and these videos are waaaaaaay better at explaining the nuances of deck building and general play of MtG than I am. Thank you for this series, both for her and myself.
This is the second of these videos of yours that I have watched. I started playing in 95, took a break from 2005 to 2011, and have been playing since. I've improved the mana curves and ratios of more people's decks than I can recall (thanks to the Prophecy fatpack spoiler that first introduced me to the mana curve concept). I've done statistical study of my decks to find "the perfect ratio" (note: then EDH came along and crapped all over it). If I had one question it would be just that: how to obtain a proper mana curve with an EDH deck? I have figured out color distribution but once decks get to that size, even saying "take your deck's total cmc and divide it by X" doesn't seem to work the same way. If you bothered to read the first half of the first paragraph, the reason for typing it wasn't to just toot my own horn, it was to put emphasis on the fact that I still learned something from watching this video. I appreciate these types of videos and I especially appreciate the closing piece of focusing not on winning but on learning. Thank you.
Man, I love this channel. Currently binge watching episodes. Thanks Professor, you're a legend. Very helpful to get back into a game I loved 15 years ago.
I'm glad your doing this. I've been playing since New Phyrexia and i still learn new things about MTG all the time. Keep doing these it helps a lot of people.
Hi Professor, I´m coming back to play magic for fun this year (I played for the last time in 2006) and your videos have been really enlightening. Thanks for this new great job.
Just got back into magic about a month ago last time I played was around 2002 watched a ton of your videos and went to my first draft last night and placed second with a 5-2 record thanks for all the info!!!! 💪🏻
Just wanted to say professor that I use card kingdom for my mtg shopping now and it's excellent! Am just waiting for the Twin Flip'n'Tray Deck Case 160+ to get restocked to get one for myself. So thanks for promoting a great site
Thank you for starting this series! I know a lot of players struggle with the intricacies of the game like curve and side boarding! Thank you for being a huge inspiration to me Professor!
This is one of the most useful topics to cover. This is a video that will likely remain relevant for years to come. I like to refer people to this and other resources like it.
I played M:tG as a kid back in the days of 7th Edition (I believe I favored the Silver Deck from the 7e starter set mainly for aesthetic reasons) and I recently got the urge to get back into it. I was a little too young to be up to date on strategies, and these days I may as well be a newbie. Your channel is helping me to review what little I remember and catch up on the things that have changed (I don't think Planeswalkers were a thing.) I appreciate the mellow, welcoming vibe. I hope I can find more folks like you to play with.
Im in love with the new office and graphics you used in this video. Also super helpful, I always have trouble determining if a faster paced deck vs a slow late game deck needs changes to its curve.
Really like this new series. Glad to see you talk about Limited, Standard and Modern; all the formats the pros play. I'd like to see something about evaluating new sets; individual cards, tribal, mechanics and how they might effect what's currently popular in the different formats. Thx.
Professor, if I wasn't in grad school (and thus too poor to even play the game) I'd definitely be a patron because of episodes like this. Tolarian Tutor is a great Idea.
I'm loving these episodes. I find your formats and explanations wonderful as well as the links to the topics and the summaries at the end. I hope you do more of these :)
I love how this series appeals to new players and yet is not so dumbed-down that experienced players can't get something from it. Would love to see an episode about archetypes, I've been playing for a year and they still baffle me!
You da man, Prof.. these Tolarian Tutor episodes are top notch! This might not be good for an episode anytime soon (better topics available), but I think it would be cool to see an episode directed at everyone who quit playing around Fallen Empires/Chronicles, but want to get back in to MTG...the ep could feature info on significant rules changes since then, new formats, etc. I don't know how many people who quit at that time are coming back to MTG, but I do know a lot of people gave up on it around then.
I love that this video has subtitles! There's automatically generated English, there's Spanish, and then there's German, just like I was taught at school: " "
I have played mtg about three times in my life years ago, I don't own a single card and don't have any particular interest in playing the game. But for some reason I can't understand I never miss a single one of your videos.
This came just in time, started crafting decks again from my REALLY limited collection from 1.5 Dkits This helped me get a nice mono black aggro curve.
The Professors Paetreon is the only one I've actually put money into, and if it's going to give us great content like this, then that money is well spent in my opinion.
This is good information for me as I seem to have mana issues in constructed commander. This ratio makes alot of sense. I was counting color cards, not color symbols
Another great video! Keep up the amazing work! Thank you for helping teach new skills to concepts to players that know how to play but still want to improve!
This is what I did on my first draft, started off Blue because of Unsummon saw a Solemnity in my own pack and added white. I did try more than two colours at times and this cost me two out of three matches. Sound advice Prof!
Roman I had a good Mana curve and more than enough lands but my last 4 games all had me Mana starved. I was new so people assumed I messed up in building the deck, they looked and were surprised it was nothing of the sort. I had actually added more than enough before the last match and they couldn't figure out how I managed to drew such bad hands even after mulligans haha
Idk about everyone else but personally find solemnity kinda bad in draft, since if the opponent doesn't do anything with counters its pretty much a dead card. If I was in you situation I'd definitely not expand into white bc of solemnity
this actually helped me a lot for my deckbuilding and believe it or not helped ke understand building a deck in hearthstone also since i didnt completely understand thw curve aspect . i would like to see a explanation on how the stack works and rulings on 2 sided card for exampke what happends if a 2 sided card goes to the top of deck?
What Magic The Gathering lessons and topics would you like to see in future episodes? Let me know!
Tolarian Community College can you please go over Tempo/Card advantage? It seems like a topic that many newer players have trouble understanding. Thanks :)
How to face a control deck please Professor
Frequently used jargon! I often hear people describe decks or attributes of decks/cards with jargon that isn't readily apparent (to me the beginner). I've heard stuff (ironically enough) like tutoring,or flavor, and just things along those lines.
Maybe how to tackle building decks around particular attributes (i.e: haste, vigilance, death touch, etc.) I'd love to hear your take on the notion.
How to use/tips and tricks for using The Stack!
I know this is only the second episode, but the Tolarian Tutor is possibly the best MTG series on youtube.
jccjccjoanne I wouldn't put it above magicmansams magic card documentaries but it's up there
Friday Nights???
Just take out the word possibly
It isn’t the second. It’s definitely the first
This comment aged very well
I'd love if you introduce each archetype, i.e tempo, control, aggro, tribal. And then make a video about each and every type of archetype. For example: one video only covering aggro. One video only about control. :D
agreed I still don't really understand those terms or how they apply to my brews.
Yes!
This is something we're working on right now :D Make sure and stay tuned for this part of the series!!
This kind of video would be amazing if it were a collaboration with TheMagicManSam! I'd love his historical approach with the Prof's style!
I agree. I've played the game for roughly three years now and just a few days ago I learned what tempo was. You learn something everyday.
Professor, this is exactly the kind of video series I was hoping you'd make. I feel like I'm in a college class learning Magic. Thank you!
Starcore Labs Same here.
Yeah but now you need to buy books, old school duels, and even the used books, Shocklands, are not cheap. Not to mention fetches.
Starcore Labs TCC MTG MOOC all day!
Im almost Harry Potter
I know! The Professor is like a living copy of the brown book! :)
Way better than many classes I took at University. For being a free content, the quality is better than many things we pay for in uni.
As a new magic player starting 3 years after this video, this is still super helpful. Building a deck is about the most careful part and was challenging to learn how to do properly, but I have to say this video has helped TREMENDOUSLY with that! Definitely a great, ageless video. 👍

Professor, this kind of content is what sets you apart as the best MTG content creator for your specific area. Pray continue your most excellent lectures
It may be too broad, but I'd love to see a video on when to block and when to let damage through.
I don't play magic but you are such a happy confident and I love your attitude
This is by far the most useful video format I've seen for getting better at MTG. Thank you professor!
Hey, Professor! Another great episode for Tolarian Tutor and a an awesome intro as well. Thank you so much for this!
Started playing a month ago and I have to say this was tremendously useful :)
Really thankful that I found this channel! Just started playing mtg a few months ago when my workplace went into lockdown and needed to find something to keep my clients excited and engaged with something. Was always super intimidated by mtg and shied away from attempting to play until my late 20s, now I'm having a blast learning it!. Big thank you!

I am a Hate Drafter. So I would grab Glorybringer, just so my opponents can't have it :)
Why draft jank when you can draft something to trade or sell after the draft is over?
Hate drafting a card is not, statistically speaking, a valuable method of decision making for making your draft deck in that scenario the best it can possibly be and allowing you to maximize win percentage. It can be fun and I'm not looking to deride you for doing it but I wanted to comment to note that it's certainly not "correct" as far as statistical win percentage over time is viewed.

I would take glorybringer even if we redraft the rares. If not glorybringer goes to my opponent's hand and I will possibly lose a game because of it.
I highly recommend you read this whole article but I'm going to quote from a portion of it that explains why you get no value from hate drafting, especially early in an individual pack (magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/beyond-basics/dont-hate-draft-2016-07-28)

Thank you for making this. Mana base and mana curve has been one of the most difficult aspects of deck making for me so far.
I thoroughly enjoy your presentation and execution. I have not played in many years and recently picked up Magic Arena and this was incredibly insightful.
Peace be upon you sir.

This whole channel just keeps getting better. Thanks!
Love the visualization of the deck to the mana curve :o That's genius.
Thank you so much Professor! All your vids (especially this new tolarian tutor series) is helping me greatly at becoming a better magic player. I look forward to your videos every single day. Thank you!
You are very important to new players. We just got started in our country. And your videos help the new guys a lot keep it up Professor.
Meaty episode. I'll be referencing this video for years to come. Thanks!!
Lol same😂
I'm not sure if my comment was seen in the last video, but the camera position was changed and it is amazing! The center framing without the cut off on top is perfect. Very appealing.
EW. MATH.
Math is sexy
You need math in almost everything you do your whole life, though. . .
OH GOD I’M ALLERGIC
And this is why MAGIC has a hard time hitting the target audience: Many kids HATE math, at least from the research I've done.
MathS, but agreed
My gf is getting into the game and these videos are waaaaaaay better at explaining the nuances of deck building and general play of MtG than I am. Thank you for this series, both for her and myself.

Man, I love this channel. Currently binge watching episodes. Thanks Professor, you're a legend. Very helpful to get back into a game I loved 15 years ago.
Boys use dual lands.
Men only use snow-covered lands.
Zagłoba snow-covered Duals?
And girls use manlands?
Zagłoba Champions use white bordered mismatch lands from the Fourth Edition.
No a real man would buy Guru lands for all 10 of his commander decks
True to the point :)
I'm glad your doing this. I've been playing since New Phyrexia and i still learn new things about MTG all the time. Keep doing these it helps a lot of people.
Hi Professor, I´m coming back to play magic for fun this year (I played for the last time in 2006) and your videos have been really enlightening. Thanks for this new great job.
I really love that you are making this series. As a relatively new player it is really nice to learn all this stuff
I'm not a regular viewer, but i love coming back to your vids for basic refreshers
Great video, you do a great job describing a sometimes difficult topic for beginners. Keep it up, love your content!
Just got back into magic about a month ago last time I played was around 2002 watched a ton of your videos and went to my first draft last night and placed second with a 5-2 record thanks for all the info!!!! 💪🏻
Just wanted to say professor that I use card kingdom for my mtg shopping now and it's excellent! Am just waiting for the Twin Flip'n'Tray Deck Case 160+ to get restocked to get one for myself. So thanks for promoting a great site
Thank you for starting this series! I know a lot of players struggle with the intricacies of the game like curve and side boarding! Thank you for being a huge inspiration to me Professor!
This has been a really useful series for me since I used to dabble in magic and now want to come back. Thanks Prof.
Whenever I get someone into magic again, I'm sending them here. I could have used videos like this when I was starting out. Thanks, Prof!
This is one of the most useful topics to cover. This is a video that will likely remain relevant for years to come. I like to refer people to this and other resources like it.
Thank you Professor! I will be playing my first edh tournament tomorrow. This helps greatly! You might be the first person I support in patreon.
Cool, so see you Friday at FNM for draft!
Hey Prof! I watched this video in preparation for FNM...I went 3-1 for the first time in my life! Thanks for the education!
Big fan of this series man. Keep up the great work!
I played M:tG as a kid back in the days of 7th Edition (I believe I favored the Silver Deck from the 7e starter set mainly for aesthetic reasons) and I recently got the urge to get back into it. I was a little too young to be up to date on strategies, and these days I may as well be a newbie. Your channel is helping me to review what little I remember and catch up on the things that have changed (I don't think Planeswalkers were a thing.) I appreciate the mellow, welcoming vibe. I hope I can find more folks like you to play with.
Im in love with the new office and graphics you used in this video. Also super helpful, I always have trouble determining if a faster paced deck vs a slow late game deck needs changes to its curve.
This channel made me try Mtg again, thanks!
Where was this in 1998 when I was learning to Magixx. Thanks man! Loyal follower!
i like that you have added the second part in this series so quickly after the first. keep them coming :)
I am loving this new series! I would be interested to see episodes about drafting, sideboarding, and reading your meta.
Really like this new series. Glad to see you talk about Limited, Standard and Modern; all the formats the pros play. I'd like to see something about evaluating new sets; individual cards, tribal, mechanics and how they might effect what's currently popular in the different formats. Thx.
This is awesome we all needed this. it's so hard to find mana curve guides you're the best, professor
Zachary Samspon For something more advanced look into hypergeometric distribution. It's how I figure out the number of lands in a constructed deck.
Professor, if I wasn't in grad school (and thus too poor to even play the game) I'd definitely be a patron because of episodes like this. Tolarian Tutor is a great Idea.
Love your Tutor series! Best to show friends that don't play for so long!
The tutor videos are shaping up to be great for someone that's new like myself.
I really like this series. I also like the black board to your side that you put the topics on. Really helpful.
I love this series so much, glad attendance isn't mandatory for the course.
I was just looking for a video on this yesterday. Apparently, the Professor is a mind reader as well. Thanks, Prof!
Prof, your new videos have really improved in quality and value. Thank you so much, you're awesome!
this series is just right for my skill level. :)
I'm loving these episodes. I find your formats and explanations wonderful as well as the links to the topics and the summaries at the end. I hope you do more of these :)
I love how this series appeals to new players and yet is not so dumbed-down that experienced players can't get something from it. Would love to see an episode about archetypes, I've been playing for a year and they still baffle me!
This is quickly becoming my favourite series
You da man, Prof.. these Tolarian Tutor episodes are top notch!
This might not be good for an episode anytime soon (better topics available), but I think it would be cool to see an episode directed at everyone who quit playing around Fallen Empires/Chronicles, but want to get back in to MTG...the ep could feature info on significant rules changes since then, new formats, etc. I don't know how many people who quit at that time are coming back to MTG, but I do know a lot of people gave up on it around then.
I really like these videos. Helping players wrap their heads around magic theory is EXACTLY something a professor would do 👌😊
This is an awesome series Professor. Also, I like that subtle Limited Resources reference you put in there.
Thanks for the lesson I watched this over my lunch and I feel like I have learned something today. Thank you Prof.
These tutor videos are awesome! I was out of the game for a few months - so these are great refreshers.
I love that this video has subtitles!
There's automatically generated English, there's Spanish, and then there's German, just like I was taught at school: " "
I have played mtg about three times in my life years ago, I don't own a single card and don't have any particular interest in playing the game. But for some reason I can't understand I never miss a single one of your videos.
I cannot thank you enough for this video! I've been looking for something like this for forever. Keep up the awesome series!
This came just in time, started crafting decks again from my REALLY limited collection from 1.5 Dkits
This helped me get a nice mono black aggro curve.
I aprecciate you using amonkhet as an example that expansion was my introduction to magic I got a glorybringer first hand of the draft!
The Professors Paetreon is the only one I've actually put money into, and if it's going to give us great content like this, then that money is well spent in my opinion.
You truly are a college for mtg now, love these videos!
This is good information for me as I seem to have mana issues in constructed commander. This ratio makes alot of sense. I was counting color cards, not color symbols
I really like the purple background of your new place, keep up the good work Prof
The new background/office is just awesome!
Love this channel guys, you fulfill a much needed info source for newer players
I love these videos! I finally finished my modern 8 whack deck and these are definitely helping with the improvements.

This channel's awesome, i'd be lost without it!
Another great video! Keep up the amazing work! Thank you for helping teach new skills to concepts to players that know how to play but still want to improve!
One of my new favorite series on TH-cam. :)
This was very helpful. I'm new to MTG and I really appreciate your content!
dude, this helped me out a LOT. After watching this, i get why my dual colored decks brick so much.
this puts into words something I've been trying to tell my friend. Thanks for the vid
This is what I did on my first draft, started off Blue because of Unsummon saw a Solemnity in my own pack and added white. I did try more than two colours at times and this cost me two out of three matches. Sound advice Prof!
Roman I had a good Mana curve and more than enough lands but my last 4 games all had me Mana starved. I was new so people assumed I messed up in building the deck, they looked and were surprised it was nothing of the sort. I had actually added more than enough before the last match and they couldn't figure out how I managed to drew such bad hands even after mulligans haha
Idk about everyone else but personally find solemnity kinda bad in draft, since if the opponent doesn't do anything with counters its pretty much a dead card. If I was in you situation I'd definitely not expand into white bc of solemnity
I agree, it really is a great sideboard card though.
oh yeah, I didn't use it at all. needed it for my EDH deck gave me reason enough to go two colours though.
Roman the thing they are trying to say is that if you aren't playing why is it a reason to go into white?
This new series is amazing, an episode about tribal decks would be nice.
this actually helped me a lot for my deckbuilding and believe it or not helped ke understand building a deck in hearthstone also since i didnt completely understand thw curve aspect . i would like to see a explanation on how the stack works and rulings on 2 sided card for exampke what happends if a 2 sided card goes to the top of deck?
as a new player, this is insanely helpful. thank you!
Great video Prof. Resources like this are always more than welcome.
What a great video! Hope to see many more of this series!
