Also worth mentioning that, in Arena, you can click on the opponent's portrait to mute them if they keep saying "Your go" when you're trying to learn & need a bit of time to read the f***ing cards.
This was a very helpful video. As I like games but generally don't play card games, Magic has always been a game I know of but don't actually know, leaving me feeling like the McElroy meme: I don't understand how Magic works and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. This video confirmed my suspicion that Magic's not my cup of tea, but I'm finally glad to understand the basics of how a game of Magic is played.
For balancing lands: add up the different color mana symbols in the deck and divide that by the total mana symbols in the deck. In a 60 card deck you want about 23 lands so multiply the answer you got by 23 & that's how many lands you need of that color
Hi Dicebreaker team! Would you like to come and play MTG D&D on a live stream with us? (Or any RPG?) Curious? Interested? Get in touch and let me know - Thanks! BTW great video! I've been confused by this one!
Ahhh come on. I just started MTG Arena and liked the blue colour. I even wanted to build a physical blue deck. And now you tell me it’s evil to play it lol.

Pre-release tournaments and drafts are probably the cheapest way to play since you can sell the prizes and any rares you opened to other players at the end. If they still do those and they still work the way they did back when I played.

That's why you buy singles instead. Why spend a ton of money on opening packs when you can just spend a ton of money to buy a singular card for a price higher than the cost of a pack.
@@pogeman2345 or you could play a card game that allows homemade/proxy copies of cards in competitive play so you don't have to rely on some strange cottage industry that lets you buy singles. There is no good reason that MTG doesnt allow this other than again raking in as much money as possible. People who can afford to buy cards always will especially when the art is so beautiful on them (as is the case with mtg of course).
@@tylerbrown9797 ppl in my local magic club don't mind proxies at all :) I also play MTGA for free and have a few very competitive decks, and YES WOTC won't let you use proxies in championships, but who cares? if you have a few thousand dollars to fly/stay somewhere, you will find a few hundred for your deck too

So, your saying we should mill everybody with crabs, yeah?
I used to play in the early 90s and it definitely got more complicated :)
Thank you for the video - very helpful and nicely produced. Now I know more. Cheers!
Industructable is still vunerable to negative counters. And negative toughness will kill it. *Unless it is hexproof.

I think this video actually makes the game seem *more* complicated than it actually is.
thanks
I already lost track of two lcgs so I think a tcg is not for me.

Cant believe Wayne Rooney is teaching me how MTG works

I want to get back in but not for real cards to pricey
Eh real cards are the cheapest way to play as you can just buy singles to get exactly what you want.

I wonder if there is a single rule in MtG that isn't broken by at least one card.
@@BrotherAlpha I think the most likely candidate has to be the rules regarding layers, which is a can of worms only judges can open.
Much talk too little show
Step 1.) Play another game that doesn't rely on a business model of manipulating players into spending tons of money on booster packs
:P

Except MTG doesn't do that...
