A friend tought me magic, i played it with another friend in school, more people from other groups wanted to play to, just to try it out, now we have a club with 24 members all playing magic the gathering.
@John Skelton show the people how they can express themselfes with cards and playstiles they like. Let them play with some decks you think they would like and let them See how cool it is to play a combo or a big creature. Maybe present the club on a school event and let people try out the game.
@John Skelton oh and dont turn into one of those competitive edh jerks who shoot down any deck ideas. I Have a few friends like that who just play with their $3k decks. Winning on turn 4. Shit aint fun
@@meyeneetuks4680 I have a £20ish deck that can semi-reliably win on turn 5 if you leave it alone, so it's not entirely a price thing. Measuring power levels in EDH is way more complicated than people make it out to be. I think a good place to start is "how much interaction does it take to shut down," because although my Zada deck technically has the tools to win on turn 5 a majority of the time, that's only in a vacuum. One piece of interaction can throw it into a spiral, transforming it from a deck that wins on turn 5 into a deck that fizzles on turn 5 and struggles to recover. It's exactly why interaction is so important, and why people need to run more of it. Spike can't win on turn 4 if you have 1 blue mana open. A truly broken deck can win early while also resisting disruption (I.e. casting Fierce Guardianship for free in response to your own interaction) and that's no fun to deal with unless CEDH is what you're actively trying to play.
It’s almost as if it’s April fools and they posted this to get us to try to type the name out in the comments. Later down the line, he will as for praise for teaching us how to pronounce Asmo.
I love that command zone is just preparing for the onslaught of new players to the game/format from posty in the absolute best way possible. Can’t wait for the next commandfest too meet all the players that you all got hooked to this amazing game! Keep up the work!
@@MTGHedgefund maybe there might be. People are ridiculously persuasive and like to follow the herd. Its silly. You have no idea how many people will do something just cuz their fav celebrity is doing it. XD why do ya think pop music is so popular? They may even start to view magic as "cool" and "hip".
I finally understood, I've been playing this game for 2 weeks from my computer and I couldn't understand the meaning of mana on the cards. For example, I thought the number 2 and the Blue color symbol wanted 2 blue lands. thank u so muuchhhh
That "invisible plus sign" should get explained to new players. Really, though, Wizards of the Coast should just give in and *print* the plus sign on the cards.
Jimmy : " to tell the difference between a spell and a land is simple. Look at the top right of the card for a mana symbol. No symbol means it is a land" Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar : " do I look like a land to you..."
IIRC when I googled how to play magic the first time I wanted to learn, I was given a video explaining different formats: Standard, Modern, Limited, Sealed Draft, etc instead. But this one is 100% on point! This is what people who are insterested to learn magic need.
This was a helpful video. I have autism and I couldn’t figure out how to play from reading the instructions. Thanks for explaining it one step at a time.
I am SO stoked about the AFR set! I am a long-time D&D nerd who is getting into MTG because of the AFR set. I have procured a Superhive & five Boulders (Frosted/Sapphire/Onyx/Ruby/Emerald) to store my decks/playmat/dice (I plan to get all four AFR Commander decks & build up a Standard deck as well), and I plan to use nothing but AFR cards in my game play.
You guys should make ALL of the tutorials in RUclips. The combination of Jimmy's radio-like speech abilities, Josh's production skills and the next-level animation is just flawless at this point. Congratulations, you just leveled up. Amazing!
When I first learned magic 2 years ago, I learned it from a friend that learned it from a friend that learned it from a camp counsellor, and we played with some pretty messed up rules. Being able to pay phyrexian mana for every card, immediately being able to ultimate planswalkers, and summoning sickness just not existing are just a couple. Glad I was able to learn the real rules a few months later.
I feel like so many games have it so you can attack creatures (yugioh, pokemon, hearthstone, etc) that newer players to magic just got it in their head that it's the norm, so yeah, gotta teach 'em that early lol
I really want to teach my wife how to play Magic, but every how to video is just too complex. THIS video however. THIS IS THE ONE. You've taken the how to play aspect out of the equation and instead broke it down into "here's how you play and read a card". This is so cool! And then you kinda pop quiz them too after you teach the lesson. This is perfect and the best video I've seen. I'm DEFINITELY bookmarking this video to send to any of my friends who wanna play Magic. Outstanding work.
As someone who recently got into MGT Arena about a week ago. I decided to go to my local game store and get me a Modern Horizon 2 pre release pack to start my collection to build Decks for Modern and Commander so these videos are a huge help to better learn the game. Thank you I can already tell this is going to be an expensive hobby.. Also I haven't looked yet but If there isn't maybe yall would be interested in making a guide on building Decks and the different combinations. I am sure RUclips has these videos from other creators but maybe some will want to see it from Yall.
The command zone has a few podcast episodes about how to make a deck or how to play commander. Try episode 400 for how to play, or 379 for how to make a deck. You can also start with the Precon-upgrade episodes. They are also all on the command zone channel.
Thank you so much, I have many friends and family members that I can send this to, where they can at least understand the basics. It is very hard to find a short and sweet tutorial, and this is perfect. I also completely agree with Magic Arena as a starting point because you don't have to pay if you don't want to. You can actually understand the game before spending money on any of the cards, which is what I have recommended to many of those close to me who have started to play Magic. Again, thank you for making this!
I’m learning the game on the train on the way to my first ever draft event, also my first games in magic. Thank you for making it so simple to understand!
Gonna be fun to watch the views on these intro to commander videos spike after the game knights video drops and a flood of new players come into the format. Well played TCZ, well played.
I love much see simplified this. Lol. It’s great for beginners that literally don’t know anything about the game. But for veterans it’s funny. Like a magic for dummies.
Thank you so much for making this so simple to understand. I’m just now getting into magic and most videos I’ve watched so far have made me felt even more intermediated
I have yet to see a tutorial as good as the one that taught me how to play back in 2013. It was a WOTC funded tutorial video on the Magic The Gathering channel with two guys I think their names were Dylan and Ian but I may be wrong on that. It was a bunch of different parts breaking down each aspect of the game i.e. mana, combat, casting spells, turns and steps. It was by far the best video and they even had a final episode where they just talked about products you could buy at your LGS. They took the video down and I was only ever able to find a reposting of it once before but I never downloaded the videos and they had gotten deleted. Pls just upload those vids or at least recreate it with the same tutorial layout just with newer cards.
I've been collecting for over a year after my nephew showed me how to play for the first time using a $350 Rakdos commander deck 😆 so thank you for this video.
Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar jokes aside, this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I might be attempting to teach some of my family how to play this game, and I didn't know where to start. This is such a great tool to use! Thanks Jimmy!
This is an useful video to explain the basics, now only left is Attack and Defense and what non-creature cards do and it’s actually done! The rest is printed on the cards!
Wow amazing video!! I was thinking how to teach my girlfriend how to play. Now this video can help with an incredible introduction and then I can help her to learn further aspects of the game.
This is great right before the Post Malone video a lot of people are gonna want to learn how to play. It’s always good to see the community grow and communities there to show them they way to greatness.
Been playing since '94; still called out the cards that were legal to play during the quiz section. Hell, I was even proud of myself for getting them right!
*Has been playing for a very long time but was curious about what content was in this video...* - Well that's pretty cool for kids and new comers but... WAIT IS THAT AN MTG ARENA CODE??? SWEET!

I really liked this very easy to understand format, but I would appreciate other chapters with more content for the friends who can't understand arena... For reasons
while I agree mtga can help newer players grasp many of the basic concepts, leaning too hard into it has detrimental effects, I know a guy that only learned magic from arena and when we got together irl he tried to play sorcery cards and summon creatures during combat, and when I explained why he couldn't he got very frustrated, threw his cards from his hand on to the table and started complaining about how arena did all it for him and this was too complicated. So I'm guessing when he played on arena he probably just played a card any time he had the option and didn't think any further into it.
@@zmann9978-u7z Yeah, well that guy is a manchild to begin with. But look at the bright side, he got into Magic because of Arena... otherwise, that guy wouldn't have even bothered in the first place.

I started playing Magic back in 2019, but I'm watching this cause the game is in fact complicated(which has made me have thoughts of quitting the game sometimes), and it's hard for me to keep track of what's going on in the game whenever I play Commander.
Jokes about Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar aside, this is a very good video for its intended audience: those getting into Magic. However, there is one danger with the free deck included; the deck itself does a good job of not having cards that are about to rotate out, but the deck is so underpowered outside of casual play that a newer player will try to look for cards that will fit or even go online to find suggestions on the Internet to improve the deck. Most of these suggestions will have cards like Speaker of the Heavens and Heartless Act, cards that are going out of Standard in three months. Avoiding that pitfall, the deck still asks for so many rares that, for a newer player, they may end up burning a lot of wildcards for a deck that can only be improved to a point. I made a video testing out the original deck, as well as an updated version without any cards that are rotating out. I could still sink even more rares, but at that point, it feels kind of predatory.
"Lands are like money"
*Looks at fetch land prices*
Yup it checks out.
It'd have been funny if it wasn't painful.😬
Lets see wether this comment is gonna be underrated
I mean prices of fetches, of caurse.
They are like real estate. The price only goes up.

*Plays for years, but still wants to learn how to play just in case I missed something

“You can tell it’s a land because there’s no symbol in the top right corner “

Could've, should've said "just read the type line below the art, does it say it's a land?"
Also stuff like Living End is crying in the corner

The number one thing you must teach new players (and will need I reexplain)- you cannot attack a creature, only players and planeswalkers
especially if you, like me, come from a game like hearthstone
And blockers do NOT tap. So many people who've played other card games think blockers have to tap down.

Avoiding that pitfall, the deck still asks for so many rares that, for a newer player, they may end up burning a lot of wildcards for a deck that can only be improved to a point.
I made a video testing out the original deck, as well as an updated version without any cards that are rotating out. I could still sink even more rares, but at that point, it feels kind of predatory.
