Sometimes the greatest humor comes from laying things out exactly as they are.

If this was a Spice8Rack video it would be 37 hours long and contain the lore of every single card ever printed

The craziest part of this video is how I was able to follow it with zero issues and understood it all, which made me question my own life really.

Me and my friends started playing this last christmas. All my friends wanted to try the game at some point prior, but were turned off by its complexity. So, my christmas present to everyone last year was to spend my down time at my night shift job reading up on the rules for about a month. This video quite correctly describes my despair. Thank you for validating my suffering.

You forgot Doctor's companion! Which is not a companion, rather Doctor's companion is a Partner that partners with a non-Partner legendary of a specific creature type

Now you don't have to answer a "many magic the gathering players" question ever again

I hate when content creators make a fake video with a clickbait title for April 1st. The Professor actually did it right by making an informative and 100% true video that MTG players only wish was a joke. Kudos to the channel for rolling out this instant classic!

Im 38 and have played since 97. While i am aware of all these facets, listening to it all is overwhelming. I can't imagine trying to wrap my head around all of this.

"Modern includes every non-silver-bordered card released after a certain date. For any exceptions, just refer to the banlist of the format."

Prof using every last bit of his English degree to create the most descriptive overview of magic while simultaneously providing the most confusing, hard to follow showcase of every single card mechanic and refusing to stop to elaborate on any of it to add to the experience

What a perfect guide for april fool's day, now I can finally play mtg!

You forgot to mention that there's a thing called "foil" cards, which are just like non-foil Magic cards, except they can *also* get you disqualified from tournaments.

15 minutes is Professor levels of commiting to the bit

[CasualCoreK]

5:20 oh come on, Professor, who would EVER play a deck with double-faced cards in clear sleeves?

[Tornven]

I feel like we all need a pop up of the prof (much like the old clip helper in Microsoft products from before 2006) for whenever players wish to learn as new players or current players learning mechanics that they are unfamiliar with. Either via your PC as an add on or an app on your phone. I'd definitely download it. Also I've ordered the new double academic Deck box! Pure excited for it!!

I can't believe he forgot to mention my favourite mechanic daybound

Cards then:
Seraphine Angel 3WW
Creature - Angel (4/4)
Flying; Whenever a creature comes into play under your control, you gain 1 life.

Cards now:
Doge, Concerned Canine
Legendary Creature - Dog Warrior Advisor (1/6)
Meme 6
Whenever you boop a snoot, hemack up to 6 of your feninas. If you do, all Gargoyles with stickers on them gain snark.
Totally not shoehorned for Commander - All dogs you control get +3/+3 and have Protection from Treasures.

I both laughed and died a little inside. Well played Professor.

[steventyler]

I took a break from magic about a year ago after a decade of playing.

I have not / will not / cannot take a break from your videos.

I appreciate you,
Thank you for your time 🙃

Loved this. Despite the humor this video fully encapsulates my frustration as a returning magic player lol

[greyborg]

I was literally just discussing with a friend yesterday how mtg is essentially tcg Smash Bros now.
