*Huge shout out to the Professor for helping our Yu-Gi-Oh brains learn at least something about Magic the Gathering today!*
I think we have no choice but to try to play Commander now... 🤔

[shotgunbadger]

I love these guys so much together.

"Wait...the game goes on that long???"
"Yea, we go past turn two."
"Can't relate."

[TierZoo]

Super fun crossover! Love the Prof.

The Power Nine in yugioh is a tough question. Many cards I'd have answered in the past have been power crept to the point of not even being that great anymore. A few years ago I'd definitely have included Change of Heart, Raigeki, Monster Reborn, and Harpie's Feather Duster. But at this point, idunno if those are even all that crazy. The only ones that I think are still Power 9 levels of busted would be:

Pot of Greed
Delinquent Duo
Painful Choice
Graceful Charity

When he says "what about in a 1v1 game this is nuts", the Prof has the absolute most proud father look on his face.

[anthonybalista]

I like how they saw Time Walk and immediately saw "extra turn" and realized how absolutely good that is.

[drzor]

"So a kuribo could kill you in 1 turn"
"I dont know what that is but yes"
Im dead😂

[nathancooley]

Team APS: "It blows my mind that a card can have three words in it's card text."

Pot of Greed: "Hold my beer..."

[Fyrwulf]

For context on how important mana is in the game, six of the Power 9 are artifacts that generate mana while costing nothing themselves. Black Lotus allows you to tap and sac for three mana of any color. The five Mox allow you to tap for one mana in their respective color.

You better have the Professor rate some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards as well! That'd be fun!

[tylerduncanson]

The reason that cards like Adult Gold Dragon can only have 3 words in the text box is that those words are keywords, which have set definitions. If there was a word in Yu-gi-oh that meant "This card deals piercing battle damage", the text boxes wouldn't be as egregious.

The Professor is basically the closest we’ll get to a real Maximillion Pegasus.

One of the easiest rules of thumb to translate between the two games is life and damage values. It's just factor 400 (rougly). So Kuriboh (300/200) would be a 1/1 creature in magic and would take 20 attacks to take a player from full to 0, while a 20/20 creature in magic like Marit Lage would be an 8000/8000 Monster capable of oneshotting a player if attacked directly.

As for the Power 9:
It's funny to me that among the most broken powerful cards in BOTH YuGiOh and Magic are the most basic Card Draw Effects for each game respectively:
Pot of Greed draws 2 cards from a 40 card deck
Ancestral Recall draws 3 cards from a 60 card deck

And about formats:
You don't need to wait for the corporate overlords to give you one.... *MAKE ONE*
Commander was created and is maintained by a comminuty council that is independent of the MTG company Wizards of the Coast. It has its own ruleset and banlist.
and in the smaller scale: Just Experiment. F.e. make decks that only have Level 4 or lower monsters in the main deck. Try recreating a "Deckmaster" ruleset like in the Noah's Cyberworld Arc of the anime. Make Cubes of interesting cards and draft from those. The game is your oyster!

[prodigaIProdigy]

not a YGO player but it's always really interesting to see which parts of common card game logic translate well from game to game. Prof didn't make it easy either mixing up cards which are good specifically for multiplayer with cards designed mainly for 1v1. And yet you still had the good first read on most of those right away, that's damn impressive!

[markdavidson]

This was a very nice, wholesome video that entertained me as a former YGO player and a current MTG player. Cheers to all those involved.

[CelticMTG]

The team APS reaction to Time Walk is exactly why it is my favourite card. Between those that do not know the card and are amazed at what it does for such a small mana cost, and those that do know what the card is and are amazed to see a real one, this card gets the best reactions out of people

[PMMeCuteBugPhotos]

Honestly I would love prof doing a Shuffle Up and Play episode with these guys, just teaching them how to play magic

[frostyblade]

As former Yugioh player of 7 years who got into pioneer mtg about a year ago, this is an amazing yet extremely unexpected cross over. Plus the Professor not knowing what a kuriboh is was hilarious. The shock on Alex's face that games can last more than 2 turns is why I stopped playing Yugioh, games too damn fast haha

[alanb]

The professor bringing a Merfolk card is incredibly on brand!! 😂😂 Great crossover!!

[jacobbkgaard]

*SPOILER ALERT!*





.. All the boys needed to evaluate the cards was basically whether or not Prof had double sleeved them 😂

No joke, check it:
1:08 Bad (No Inner Sleeve)
4:31 Good (Double sleeved)
6:36 Good (Double Sleeved)
8:40 Bad (No Inner Sleeve)
9:50 Good (Double Sleeved)
11:50 Meh (No Inner Sleeve)
12:59 Meh (No Inner Sleeve)
15:16 Good (Double Sleeved)
17:01 Good BUT Fake - Hence No Inner Sleeve

I'm SO glad you guys are friends with the Professor! These videos yall make are already great, but now he's in them too? God-tier entertainment.
