How to Play Magic the Gathering for Beginners - ASMR Tutorial for Relaxation and Sleep

As a casual player, I teach you the basics of how to play Magic the Gathering as I walk through a sample game in a soft spoken manner in order to provide ASMR, relaxation and sleep. I'll most likely follow this video up with a look at the modest collection of cards that I own.

Thanks for watching.

All the best,
E.R.

I am learning Magic as of today (bought my first deck) and at first I admit I was very ignorant in the sense that I said "Why is he talking like that?".

 After researching ASMR and listening/watching a few videos my tourettes (which involves head twitching) has not occurred in over 30 minutes now.

You've earned a subscription buddy, and will be passing on this information to my Doctor (which I am reviewing my condition to) in a few weeks time. I am 23 years old.

Thank you!

Before you even comment, please read this. If you don't know why he is whispering, it's because this is an ASMR video.
ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is essentially the tingles you get when seeing or hearing something that triggers your ASMR.
Some triggers are as follows, and are most popular:
-People working diligently
-Whispering
-Panning sounds
-Crinkling bags
-Tapping, whether it be objects or finger nails

So now that you're educated, don't come in here acting like a big boy, because I wear the big boy pants around here, along with... everyone else here... But you get the point.

Just don't be an ass when you comment.

This was my first ASMR video experience. Never knew ASMR existed before I first watched this a year ago!

[shanesanderson]

Okay seriously, who puts a Conjuring 2 ad before an asmr video? Don't they know people watch this before they sleep or relax?

[brennanchris]

This was awesome but I thought you might appreciate some pointers:

-You're allowed 4 of any card other than lands
-Don't draw a card if you go first
-Summoning sickness doesn't tap the creature
-Tapped creatures can't block
-Use the creatures' abilities like the Ranger's land
-The Knight has First Strike so it won't die
-Multiple creatures CAN block one creature
-Basilisk can't block the Hatchling because of flying

I hope this doesn't seem annoying, just trying to help out a fellow MTG player!

So many people are clueless to what asmr is. Ya know when you here a certain sound and it sound somewhat more soothing than others and it's relaxing? That's asmr. The whispering is to help you experience that feeling. If this video doesn't do it then I'm % sure any other of E.R's videos will do it. Trust me I thought it was a weird thing at first but now I can't go to sleep without it. It does for me what a medication would do for someone else. And thank you E.R for the great video!

Are you bob Ross' son? You have the gift my child.

[AwsomeSackBoy]

So many people are confused of why he's whispering. Lol.

The video that introduced me to both magic and asmr

[tyranttotodile]

I’m actually still waiting on a follow up lol, love all the asmr card content. And absolutely love the video game play throughs. Hope everything’s going well thanks for making awesome videos

[TIEbaron]

More Magic videos! Love them all! I'm just starting to play Magic so these are very helpful!

[LeDiskoLove]

This particular video is probably one of the most relaxing videos for me on your channel. It's really calming, so much so that I ended up leaning back in my computer chair to listen and ended up falling asleep only to be woken up by my cat attempting to walk on my head and face haha. See what you've done?

As always excellent video.

There is so much more ASMR involved in Magic when you get into sleeves, sleeve types, card shuffle techniques, "stack shuffling", "land stacking" and just the nervous card shuffling in the hand between doing actions. That's where the ASMR in magic cards is.

[BladeStrike]

Its funny that you angered so many nerds with a simple video.

[BCsounddesign]

Hey, I'm just getting back into MTG and this tutorial is great. The ASMR really helped. I'd never heard of it before now.

Great Stuff!

[TheMIGHTparanormal]

Its 2019, I miss the bald, clean shaven ER. LOL

[davidfarrow]

This is the video that introduced me to asmr back when it was a new vid.. Thank you very much!!

[MusicAfterDeath]

I must learn how to play!! Because let's be honest, some of us collect these things because we like cards with pictures and stuff on them like pokemon or yugioh cards without even playing the game ;]

[aroseinrepose]

Thank you for this. Very relaxing and I've always been curious about how to play.

[GriffinLKVW]

I just realized how long I've been watching your vids. I remember when this vid came out
