This Card Game Took Over my Life.

- I entered into a Magic: the Gathering RCQ tournament to see if I could beat some of the best players at one of the world's most complex trading card games, and in doing so became even more obsessed with MTG.

Hey everyone! This is a video I've been working on for a while. It's not perfect, and I could have made it better, but as a wise editor once told me: "A project is never done, only abandoned."
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I FIND MY MUSIC: check out my patreon page for a full music breakdown: patreon.com/twelvebrickstudios
thats litterally the flavor text for the card [rootha, mercurial artist]
This video if perfect bro
@spinningtrain9091 haha I never realized that, keen observation!
I have played Yu-Gi-Oh for a while and from what I've heard it is much harder then basically every other card game. I don't know if you have experience with Yu-Gi-Oh but from what I've seen this is MUCH more confusing.
Dude, nice work!
You should not be disappointed or discouraged at all, 17th place out of 62 is very impressive for your first RCQ. That’s almost the top 25%! Also, the filmmaking and editing in this video is incredible. Keep it up, you are very skilled.
His score was 2/3 tho…
Many people drop off after 3rd game.
especially considering he was using a budget deck
Yeah this
still 2/3 for first RCQ is reasonable assuming he's not very experienced at competitive magic. It's also Pioneer which I feel like has more variance than any other format right now. @@DS-gu1lt
bro 17th is ballin, I would end up 63rd fr.
Best edited magic video I have ever seen.
with zero gameplay
over edited
Define "Magic Video" because I believe Rhystic Studies holds that crown.
have you ever heard of rhystic studies brother
Shorter than the intros to some music videos
Very cool, although one small thing to clarify... The RCQs happen several times per year, and even the Regional Championships and Pro Tours happen multiple times too. The World Championship is the one that happens only once per year.
Ah yes, I realize now how that could sound confusing, what I meant is that these tournaments happen every year, although it does sound more dramatic when you phrase it “every year there’s a tournament…” haha
hi dave
hi dave
oh hello, dave
That's Dave
The production quality of this was insane! Now I want to try a tournament as well
Thanks!
I've been a professional editor for 5+ years now, and I can safely say this is one of the best shorts I've seen on RUclips, in every aspect of cinematography. Very well done!
This channel is TINY in comparison to so many, but the production oozes charm. I'm a casual commander player but you've done an amazing job at showcasing what competitive magic could look like. Absolutely going to push this to friends. Looking forward to where you potentially go next.
thanks! Going to continue making videos, not necessarily about MTG but with the same production style
@@ArloPedersen Excellent. I'll go down the rabbit hole for a moment, take a look at some of the other content you're creating.
What region are you in? This makes it sound like RCQs happen once a year when they’re going on almost weekly (given you may have to commute varying distances pending your home address).
Great production though!
Btw I think burn is a better deck on a budget.
Couldn’t have said it better!
There’s smthn special in the passion here!!
Dude, super impressed by this! It’s rare to see magic portrayed in a way that includes both visual style and thoughtful storytelling. You just got a new sub, I’d love to see more MTG visual stories from you 🤘
Highest Quality Independent Magic the Gathering Video PERIOD. Beautifully written, well paced, cinematic, great soundtrack. I'm actually blown away. 🤯
Thank you! :)
Wtf dude. This video was NUTS. You’re editing and story-telling is top-notch. Keep this quality up and you’ll be HUGE. Excited to watch your future.
You are going to go far. You’ve got a real talent for making videos man! Keep crushing it and enjoying life along the way!
Truly professional editing. You have the skill to succeed as a professional. Don't stop!
Just going to add to the pile of glowing comments you've already earned: this was wonderful. I hope we'll get to see many more of your adventures on your journey as a Magic player and as a filmmaker!
Terrific shots. Shoutout to the camera man and editor!
Me myself and I haha, I film and edit everything (aside from a few shots)
As a film maker and a Yugioh Player this video hits so much at home. You made a really great story, we need more cinematic videos about card games like this one
What incredible studio quality editing and filming here.
Dude you are going places. You clearly have the drive.
17th out of 62 is impressive on your first time. You've got a knack. don't give up some people don't accomplish that for years. I've been playing since 2007 and finally took it serious this year. I've been to 3 RCs now this year. two for modern in Canada and even one for pioneer in the USA.
Super sick, I hope to see more Magic content from you!!
One quick note: I really liked how you explained some things, like the overall cardpool versus deck size, but I think you could try to break things down a bit better for a non-Magic viewer. For example, the concept of lands can be kind of weird for people who don't play, or the concepts of card advantage or why the Lightning Axe was the perfect draw. Again, super loved your video and I hope to see more!!
Thanks! Yeah I was trying to find the balance between making it understandable for non-magic players yet still interesting for someone who plays the game. As for more magic content in the future, that’s always a possibility but my channel’s more focused on the filmmaking/editing side of things. You can definitely expect more videos with this same style to it though!
@12brickstudios Ooh! I like that concept of a channel. I do believe that tying magic into that could definitely keep pushing you. On numbers alone, you will have an audience for sure.
You can play 1 land every turn and every card has a cost an example would be 3 green. Inorder to play it you have to have 3 green on the table and you turn them sideways to use them and play your card. Once the land is sideways it is used for that turn and you have to wait until next turn before you can use that land again. As far as his perfect draw, I'm assuming he drew a damage spell and was able to use it on the other person's health winning the game or he used it on the opponents creature so the opponent had no units to block his attack.
i think this got recommended to me because of magic the gathering, but your film making (writing, editing, directing, animation, acting, photography, so on, etc) is so good. can’t wait to see what stories you make next
I don't play MTG but I was hooked! This video was utterly incredible man. Production quality and narrative flow was amazing, please make more like this
This is really cool dude! Can see how hard you worked on this
2:00 was about to stop watching but then saw this mans playing one of my favorite decks.
Now I'm hookied.
Haha love this
You COOKED!!! This video was very SPICY!!!
BRO WTF THIS IS BEYOND TOP TIER PRODUCTION QUALITY. SIMPLY AMAZING MICRO DOCUMENTARY ON YOUR PASSION. TOTAL RESPECT ❤
Great video man! We need more creators like you in the Magic space, look forward to seeing the part 2!
My guy just going to regionals and made a freaking movie out of it 😭
I did not except this, please keep up the good work, you are amazing!
Amazing video! You were my inspiration for me to document my own RCQ experience. Your editing and storytelling was godlike
Thanks! Haha I think your video actually popped up in my feed the other day, glad I was able to inspire you to make a video of your own!
Great editing, storytelling and video production overall. You're good at this. Keep going!
From a new subscriber :)
Wow! Great video production. In terms of mtg content, this surpasses most. Subscribed!
PS. Cardboard is fickle. Spend your money on video stuff, you’re really good at it 😉
Man you are SUCH a talented filmmaker I was completely mindblown, like the lego part ????? insane
I'm happy this video still gets recommended and hope your channel blows up some time soon :) great job at the tournament as well , best of luck in your next events!
:)
Wow. Subscribed. Love the filming and production. Came for the magic stayed for the quality.
"That's slightly more affordable...and the cheapest one." Nailed it!
I play other card games (never magic) and this was such a good video! Great pacing, and great music, had me entertained the whole time! Thanks for 6 minutes of awesomeness.
Super impressed by your work, even moreso after realizing how young you were. As a judge I see RCQs as pretty typical events but it's good to recognize that they can mean a lot to different people. I still remember the first competitive events I played in too.
The Magic Community needs videos like this keep them coming super cool stuff
Haha can’t guarantee that, I don’t usually make mtg videos, but definitely more stuff coming with the same visual style
I don't know anything about magic, but the story telling and editing were so good I stayed for the whole thing.
I started playing in 2014 when I was 14. Im now 23 and haven't touched the game in a few years (partly due to college and covid, and also because of Hasbro / WOTCs direction with the game. It isnt what it used to be but I do miss it a little. I watched people come and go at my local game store over the many many years I played and now Im one of them...
Yea I haven't played the game in a long time, at least over 10 years. From what I heard the changes they've made simplified the game to much and practically ruined it by removing such a fun unique core mechanic
Thank goodness for the RUclips algorithm (for once). Phenomenal editing, staggering storytelling, super exciting to see you grow.
This video was great, I hope to see more MTG content from you in the future. The space in in need for creators with strong story telling!
This was awesome..my only complaint is that it wasn't longer. Would have been cool to follow along on your research and what you learned and Maybe why your decklist. Either way, being left wanting more is never a bad thing lol subbed!
yah printing out opponents possible decks and doing Practice play is nuts to me but how else to do it lol
He didn't really do any research lol. Maybe the bare minimum, and I don't think he's actually interested in playing, was just for the video.
AMAZING. This is so high quality, engaging, and fun.
Insane production quality, looking forward to more from you!
There will be more videos to come! (And I have a ton up on my channel as well)
The editing and production on this video is staggering. definitely appreciate such high quality content
This is one of if not THEE BEST vlog style video of a magic event I’ve ever seen. Gotta make a series outta this, I’m itching to see your under dog story 💪
Wow. This is easily the best cinematography i have ever seen in a mtg video! Wonderful Job!
WOW! MTG videos should be like this one! Amazing editing!
Take my support! Magic Content with this high quality is exactly what we need :)
This is a magic-al film. Incredible work!!
17th is still awesome! Plus the Lego animation was indeed very entertaining :)
My man, this is one heck of a video!! The production is incredible and the deck you chose is absolutely top tier in Pioneer. I play a Golgari Lotleth mill deck and had to modify the deck to run 4x Cavalier of Thorns in the main board specifically for your deck's Arclight Phoenix. If you can drop the Ledger Shredder on curve and it lives, it can eat the removal so that your Arclights can go in for the win. It's an annoying deck whether on paper or on Arena. Best of luck in 2024!!
This is the greatest video I have watched this year. Your craftsmenship is beautiful, any lego creator has to be committed to wonder, patience and craft, and that SHINES through this. I was addicted, please continue making these styles of video, you have no idea how special you are.
thank you so much! Yes definitely going to keep making videos like this, I have some fun things planned for the future!
I love how this video is the best advert for keyforge I have ever seen.
bro just casually does stop motion lego animation for an MTG video, jeeeesus good stuff
holy shit this video deserves more recognition. The production was amazing!
incredible you made that lego part. you keep churning out content like this and you'll be able to live off youtube in a year or two
This is actually a great video! You’re def onto something man, and I’m sure many other people are interested to see what else you have coming. It’s an interesting topic for sure
I was in the middle of making a video like this! But yours is so much better! Amazing video
Production quality was next level man, great work
Yoo, this video is actually very high production level. You earned yourself a new subscriber, keep up the work!
WOW THIS IS A CRAZY GOOD VIDEO, I m not a MTG player but stunned by the quality of this video!
Drone view, stop motion, camera angles.... i don't even play magic but the montage in this video is really good.
For someone who just started his magic adventure this year i appreciate your video!!! Grats on 17th place
Actually, I’ve been playing for about 3 years now haha, but thank you!
Incredible production quality and story telling. Well done.
BROTHER, this video is AWESOME. The production tells a story of how bad you want it. Your passion for content and magic is unreal man. I’ve just started getting into magic and this video has me even more hype! Great stuff man!
Wow! The effort put into this video was phenomenal! Looking forward to another Mtg video!
The editing is incredibly good for a small production like this. Keep up the good work!
MTG in a nutshell. Mana flood or mana screw. You can prepare all you want but at the end of the day RNGesus still has a lot to say
This was really well done, 17th is not bad at all for your first time!
5:28 bro trusted the heart of the cards 💀
This video will make your channel explode. Well done friend
Wow, kudos dude. This was an awesome video.
Kudos to you! The story was engaging to me on 2 parts, how it was told and how it was visually appealing!
Your editing skills are top notch, that lego scene was insane. Subbed!
Hey man, really well done video. Excellent production. Good luck in the next one!
Bro the editing and overall quality of this video is outstanding!! Thanks for the content
Subscribed solely for the editing, great job and keep playing!
Bro you seriously did not make a stop motion animation to replace the part you forgot to film. That's just flexing. Mad props, and I hope to see future videos from you.
dude i was hooked in the whole time. so creative!!! awesome work
I love your editing and story telling style. This video is awesome
Great vid, been playing since 1996 ish and I still love the competition!
Love the editing and storytelling!
What in the actual heck. Great editing. Best of luck on your goals!
What a beautiful cinematic man you killed it really I dont normally comment but this was a work of art keep up the good work 😁
thanks! I'll be keeping the videos coming..
great editing, awsome sound design! Keep up the good work
Holy shit the quality is insane! If card games don't work out, you have a knack for videography, that's for sure
the production quality on this video is insane very well made
Wonderful and engaging editing, thrilling storytelling - thank you for inspiring me with your video ♥♥ Also love Magic
Dude this was brilliant. Amazing work on this and keep it up!
Coolest MTG video on RUclips in a LONG TIME
What an incredibly talented person you are. The quality and love you did put into this video is outstanding.
thank you!
I dont play Magic, I play Pokemon and I gotta say this is the type of content im drawn to. Great job on the visuals and storytelling.
This was really well done man, keep it up, you’re on to something
That was prettttttyyyy good!!! Thank you YT algorithm for leading me to this!!
From a fellow north shore resident and TCG lover (Pokemon), I wish you the best of luck in your MTG and content creation career. Amazing video
Being in the top half in your fist tournament is impressive dude, great video.
Awesome video man! The Search instrumental worked so well with this
Thanks! Yeah surprisingly the only dip in retention is during that part and then it pops back up to 43% again after that, kinda weird but I liked that montage
Well done! I first thought that that is an ad from WotC. Beautifully filmed
The editing on this is absolutely SICK!
Wow I was not ready for this video to end! I was fully invested
Back in the day id have loved to watch that stuff.
Instantly subscribed, amazing video! The editing was 10/10!
