I remember watching this back in 2012. This is probably the best tutorial on MTG I have ever watched. It's simple and straightforward for a newbie, and it helped me learn MTG back when I started in 2012.

Almost 5 year old upload - and still an effective teaching tool - thank you so much for guideing me thru it - so stoked to play now - Cheers

Thank you Alexandra! i went out and bought a starter back (blue) because of your un-boxing video, then realized i don't know the first thing about the game!!! Always better when someone explains it to you rather than reading it.
Keep the great videos coming :D

Alexandra, As always I'm grateful you take the time to make these videos. I have been trying to teach my kids how to play and you've answered many questions.

Absolutely fabulous, I was always intrigued by the large groups of people who gathered to play and now thanks to you so can I.  Thanks

Your voice is perfect for this game. It lends itself to magic and sorcery extremely well.

same. listening to alexandra is very relaxing. i've watched the barbarian painting tutorial about a dozen times.

Thank you for making this video, I’m fairly new to Magic the Gathering and this helped me tremendously! You made it so easy to understand, other videos i watched just made me more confused, but not yours! Thanks again, and keep up the great work!👍🏼

a year ago i went to town some of these cards and thought i would pick them up to see what they were never found out although now i do and they look fun so thanks for this video. keep up the vids :)

Thank you very much for the tutorial! I learned much from it! And I'm especially grateful for the different cases of attacking/blocking with different power/strength creatures. This is the issue which almost all other tutorials lack, 'cause they usually consider only one possible way to block and in this case newbies like me simply do not understand what would be if the blockers/attackers had been other than suggested initially.
Your video has been very useful for me and I'm glad to have found it =))

This video was so helpful when I was trying to learn and when I was trying to also teach my brother how to play! Thank you so much!!! <3

Magic is actually bigger and more popular now than it's ever been. Lots of new players are getting into it and lots of old players are returning to it.

[kristasparks]

thanks, this game is really hard to understand at first, this video was very helpful

[vandalion]

thank you for the video. it was very informative. i can't wait to get my deckbuilder's toolkit and play my first game

[drunkenwoodelf]

Nowadays any magic deck will do for a friendly game, i would recommend trying green black because they just released a new set, and one of the themes in it is green and black zombie decks, you can buy a pre-built zombie based deck for £20 at most good nerdy shops.

[ryder]

Indeed. The uploader's voice is relaxing.

[AnonPXYZ]

Thank you for the video. Ignore all the mean people please.

[vladtimoftescu]

First great video like always! Then was wondering if you'll explain more advanced magic things? Stopped playing back at ravnica and i was thinking abou goin back but afraid a lot has changed and would have to spend a lot of money again :s thx Alexandra!
