Then, we all had moon pies.
The amount of time it took him to simply play a land and declare attack is way too accurate and I love how they integrated "this asshole needs to make a move already" into it lmao
"this asshole needs to make a move already" reminds me of modern day competitive yugioh as well....only for us its "this asshole needs to finnish his turn"
I use to own an LGS, and one time the quietist nicest guy in the shop was playing Vs a guy like this, the quiet guy was winning and the other guy was just shuffling his hand over and over breathing like this guy.

meh. sounds like someone tuned into a broadcast for 5 minutes but never played a game. the words are all mtg terms, but they are used completely wrong.
You know what's funny? I grew up as a poor kid who played Magic, so I only bought what I could afford, and actually made some pretty meta competitive decks with the more affordable options. Now as an adult, those cheap cards that were so easy to get 15 years ago are worth enough money to buy a new car with.

I think it could be a legitimate game. It sounds like Kenny's opponent has a minotaur but is debating attacking with it since it would leave him open. He plays a creature with haste to attack instead and destroy a planeswalker. Kenny's creature untaps when his turn starts, he enchants it with an aura and uses an instant/sorcery card to make it unblockable, past the minotaur, for lethal damage.
@@Mrgabi1239 Yeah I guess in a tournament setting it would be illegal, true. I think a lot of times I played, I would've let people rewind a few seconds if they didn't mean to move into the attack phase right away. Good catch though

As an mtg player this is genuinely amazing, and also kinda painful how close it is to being accurate. I think the writers know how to play pretty well to get it this closely wrong.
I haven't played in years but correct if I'm wrong. Wouldnt the creature just played need haste in order to attack. Wasn't it summoning sickness or something?
@@akiloofnice Correct. Though we can't know if Elder Beast has Haste, since that card does not exist. You also don't announce an attack when the card is not even on the board :)

Even the inaccuracies are accurate to how real players behave. Calling lands "mana," trying to backtrack to an earlier phase after already declaring that you've moved on to the next one, responding to stuff at the wrong time, and acting like the game is over prematurely are all real bad habits among players.
Your opponent has to agree to a phase change, in case they have a card to play before that phase ends. On a casual level there's nothing wrong with what he did.
you realize that the game handbook and online tutorials made by the creators of the game actually call the landcards mana? edit: cuz you know, the landscape gives you the magic power... thats why landcards create mana for your spellcards (btw, creature cards are also called spellcards)

Kenny reminds of the Asians that barely spoke English I used to play In Yugioh. Never speaks, nods and waits for responses, then whoops your ass by turn 3
I like how the majority of comments here are talking about how illegal it was for Kenny's opponent to attack with Spark Ghast (which may have had haste, making it a legal move) but nobody is mentioning that Kenny played an enchantment on his opponents turn (which can only be played on his own turn unless it has Flash -- which is not overly common). Kenny's creature also attacked during his opponent's attack, attacked while tapped, and Kenny also summoned a creature tapped and attacking after he declared attackers and his opponent declared blockers. It's funny how they put in rules and MTG lingo that ALMOST sounds right, but is ridiculously off if you've played for a little bit.
I think that's a lot of the point, it wouldn't be humorous to the people who know about it if nothing sounded off, it's kind of like the airsoft episodes, they got so much right but then when you notice one or two things off it just feels weird

I appreciate that the nerds from the episode "4th grade," which was all the way back in the 4th season, are present. You can spot 'em on Slaughterhouse's side of the store
If you've ever played MTG you'd know this is exactly how it goes in real life, the rich kid always goes up against some poor kid who just knows how the game works and just destroys them with charity cards.
I remember in of my fnm when I made a cheap mono white Kor deck and against a mono green eldrazi deck, all three game of the match he had all three legendary eldrazi titan out but I still won and made him to just completely out from the tournament lol
@@stefanlowe9067 That deck was like $15 to build and would absolutely steamroll $300 midrange goodstuff decks lmao...played it for like 9 months to grind store credit. First tournament I played with it I got a booster pack with a Godless Shrine, which was basically worth more than 1/2 the deck. 😂😂
Matt Stone: "Hey Trey. New summoned monsters have to wait a turn before they can attack. How will we animate that to make it interesting?" Trey: "We won't. Instead, let's just somewhat follow the rules, let them attack simultaneously, then have Kenny dominate him on Slaughter's turn. People will notice, but who cares?" Matt: "Yeah, and who really cares enough to comment on our fictional Magic The Gathering game?"
I went to one mtg event in my life and the guy i lost to (i was terrible) did the "hold on, wait" thing when I was just sitting there getting my ass kicked. It was surreal.
I remember growing up in the early Pokemon, MTG, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh days. Everyone was crazy about buying them up especially Pokemon the 1st editions where sold out so fast at Wizards. The tournaments where cool to some where at Wizards some and Albertsons in the back or Target. But it would always piss me off when there was an older person there playing. They had all the good cards and could afford them. They didn't mind busting them out to show off but never would trade them.
My LGS brackets people based on age and I am very happy about that because I'm 25 and love card games. I don't want to stop but I don't wanna crush kids either, I wanna play against other autistic adults like myself.
Everyone saying that Kenny couldn't afford his deck hasn't taken a close look at his cards (when "Elven Blade" is played). Elven Blade as depicted acts as an instant to give a blocking creature "+1". His "Planeswalker" is an enchantment that makes his opponent reveal a card at random, costs GRR, and can only be activated "during sorcery". Seems like his friends gave him some of their shitty cards and Kenny was able to make a decent deck out of otherwise garbage cards. The only real Magic card referenced was Kenny's Serindib Sorcerer.
I remember during my lunch period in high school me and my friends would play UNO. One time I started the round with a +2 then the person next to me placed a +2 as well. Then 4 others place a +2, comes back to me I played another +2, then next to me comes another +2. This time it only went around 3 other players before the last one loudly screams NOOOO. We all just started dying of laughter. All together he had to pick up 24 cards. Icing on the cake was he came in second place as we played to the last person.
The most realistic part of this is Kenny being the best Magic the Gathering player even though he is using his friends cards because his family can't afford to buy him cards.
This brings back memories to my godfather introducing me to the game when i was like 13 even took me to compete at a DCI or whatever tourny i ended up winning.
I like how they have the lingo and even make kenny tap his mana but the inconsistencies are also super hilarious. Like playing the enchantment during his opponent’s turn or, if you notice, Kenny’s mana was already tap at the beginning of the scene.
i think because kennys mana was untapped and the opponent said he could block that the turn had passed to kenny because the opponents combat phase had ended. i dont believe he had all untapped mana before the cut to playing the enchantment
This episode will always remind me of me and my friends in school going through our Yugioh phase. We'd be waiting for lunch time to challenge others to duel. Ah good memories.
This brings back memories…I used to play the Pokémon card game at comic shops in early 2000s and I would occasionally watch other kids play Magic the Gathering.
Used to love Yu-Gi-Oh, until they started introducing a bunch of mechanics and rules that completely changed how the game was played. Now if you ever want to play an old deck, fuck you you're going to lose, because the average card these days is just as strong as some of the rares of the old days. And then to introduce shit like pendulum summoning... It's a completely different game. At least Magic tries to stay true to it's core values. Yeh, I know the "meta" of playing Magic has changed many times over the years, but the core of the gameplay is still the same, and I still have the same fun playing as I did in the early 00's.
YGO is ridiculous these days. Used to play competitively from the days of Chaos Emperor Dragon through Lightsworn (which I used to dust everyone at my locals with for an entire set straight). I stopped playing around the time of tuners and Stardust dragons just because I couldn't afford the grind anymore. Anyways, flash forward ten years later and I start getting into MTG:Arena and, having only a very peripheral understanding of Magic, it was (and still is) a harsh learning curve, but all of the mechanics fundamentally make sense and I can even form together some coherent ideas for drafts and deck builds. Found out that YGO has an Arena version too so I tried it out and....wtf. it took me a minute to remember how tuners worked but when I saw pendulum summoning I was like...this shit makes no sense. Just couldn't even grasp the concept. Then started looking at deck archetypes that are about summoning, tuner summoning, searching for things in your library, discarding things to the grave, removing things from the grave, summoning more cards, then sacrificing cards to counter effects...all in turn one. The fuck? When I played YGO at locals all the MTG tryhards used to laugh at us about how it was a kids game and wasn't complicated enough cause no mana and lands. These days I can understand the concept of managing your dual lands and triomes and play some basic strats ages before I could ever figure out how to play a proper deck in YGO.
This reminds me of my old high school days, those were some greats times. Started playing MTG in the 2011 corset. Made a mono-black Vampire deck. The card everyone hated? Doom Blade 😂 4 years into MTG and I become a Blue player using Affinity with Glint Hawk 🤣🤣
@@TragoudistrosMPH I couldn't agree more lol Sliver Queen is a very good card, but very situational as well. Only used in Silver decks I actually owned over 50 decks back in high school and it was fantastic! Playing Slivers, Mill, Burn, Goblins, Affinity, Tokens, 5-Colored Dragons, Spirits, and even more decks. It was a privilege to play the best TCG ever created and me and my friends still talk about it to this very day. I could go on and on about the drama and stories that happened at school too. Someone wanted to punch me in the face for being too good at magic, then a friend of mine decided to give his cards away, so at lunch time he threw a deck in the air and cards went flying everywhere. The other players ran for his cards, then one time I was banned from the high school tournament for being too good, as the guy who was running it, wanted us to keep our tie, as he was afraid to lose the " Number 1 " title to me 😂😂 Good times, as always.
The really funny part is those dudes at card shops really do shuffle their hands incessantly throughout the match, just like this, as if you were psychic-ly keeping track of the cards in their hand and them doing that throws it off lmao.
I remember in the first days of MtG in San Francisco when one still had to ante up a random card from their deck before playing. Many stabbings and wailings were heard in the back alleys of Chinatown those days I tell you. One of the reasons why TSR decided to NOT buy into the WotC card game. The rest, as they say, is history.
when my father passed away back in 97 i got an apartment with an acquaintance i had gone to high school with 7 ears earlier, we were both broke and barely made our bills but every single payday he went to a local game shop and bought an entire case of Magic cards. like a still sealed one of those displays you sit on the counter by the register, and he would spend all night just sitting there opening them and sorting them by rarity. he had boxes full of duplicate cards he kept under the bed that he would pull out and organize afterwards, the thing is he never sold them or anything, and none of our friends played so no one would ever play him. he just kept buying and collecting the things and never got to use them for anything, NO idea what he ever did with them all.

I appreciate that the nerds from the episode "4th grade," which was all the way back in the 4th season, are present. You can spot 'em on Slaughterhouse's side of the store
I like how it's obvious the writers know how MTG is played. But they just leave everything about it *ever so slightly* incorrect.
Yea THIS IS HARD CORE!!!!
Hold on, wait, hold on . Gets me every time.
I absolutely *HATE* playing against people like that
Fucking people that do that shit after like 8 things like bruh
nobody with a life, friends and family and good looks and money cares about this nerd shit anyway.
That really hit this perfectly, from the dude Kenny was playing to the reaction in the crowd.
This is one of the best put together clips I've seen, it shows exactly what you need, cuts perfectly timed. It's really well edited
Brutal; this makes Critter Christmas look tame.
"This asshole needs to make a move already" playing any card game lmao
I'm not into mtg, but I was at a con once and swear to god saw this exact scene at a games table
I remember when Magic: the Gathering was one of the first sponsors of South Park way back in 1997
If you've ever played MTG you'd know this is exactly how it goes in real life, the rich kid always goes up against some poor kid who just knows how the game works and just destroys them with charity cards.
My crown jewel was a turbo fog deck during return to rav. Made a girl actually flip a table at fnm.
@@stefanlowe9067 I fucking hate blue players. I'm a black white heroic deck.
I remember in of my fnm when I made a cheap mono white Kor deck and against a mono green eldrazi deck, all three game of the match he had all three legendary eldrazi titan out but I still won and made him to just completely out from the tournament lol
SMASHING LIKE FOR TURBO FOG
@@stefanlowe9067 That deck was like $15 to build and would absolutely steamroll $300 midrange goodstuff decks lmao...played it for like 9 months to grind store credit. First tournament I played with it I got a booster pack with a Godless Shrine, which was basically worth more than 1/2 the deck. 😂😂
0:22 I like how Kenny secretly untaps his lands
I had a kid in my class who liked magic. Watching this ep with him after class was really really fun
And we dont care. Go to school
@@MisterSomeone12271 I finished school, you do it
I love the comments that the dorks are making, which is COMPLETELY validating this episode 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i've been playing since 1997, and even i'm uttering to myself "these fucking nerds..."
@@locke103 Get lost
Matt Stone: "Hey Trey. New summoned monsters have to wait a turn before they can attack. How will we animate that to make it interesting?"
Trey: "We won't. Instead, let's just somewhat follow the rules, let them attack simultaneously, then have Kenny dominate him on Slaughter's turn. People will notice, but who cares?"
Matt: "Yeah, and who really cares enough to comment on our fictional Magic The Gathering game?"
Nerd
Spark Ghast sounds like a ball lightning type effect, where it has haste and you sac it end of turn. That's what I got at least.
Its like the wow episode. I think they enjoy being off just enough to annoy the die hard fans lol
Flash and hate, your point negated
@@MatataMcCleskey Flash and hate, huh? Not sure how that allows you to attack during your opponent's combat phase. You lose a lot, don't you?
Love the mouth breathing kid. So spot on.
The breathing during the guys turn is way to painfully accurate.
I went to one mtg event in my life and the guy i lost to (i was terrible) did the "hold on, wait" thing when I was just sitting there getting my ass kicked. It was surreal.
i love how since kenny is poor he is winning by pure skill
I love how Kenny is the ultimate gamer. Even in heaven
Basically he's like Keanu Reeves
That dork playing against Kenny even speaks in uptalk like a true loser. Astonishingly accurate detail.👌
I remember growing up in the early Pokemon, MTG, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh days. Everyone was crazy about buying them up especially Pokemon the 1st editions where sold out so fast at Wizards. The tournaments where cool to some where at Wizards some and Albertsons in the back or Target. But it would always piss me off when there was an older person there playing. They had all the good cards and could afford them. They didn't mind busting them out to show off but never would trade them.
My LGS brackets people based on age and I am very happy about that because I'm 25 and love card games. I don't want to stop but I don't wanna crush kids either, I wanna play against other autistic adults like myself.
Nobody cares, shut up and go to school
@@Claugustus If you are 25 then go to work anyways
@@MisterSomeone12271 ???
'Dude it was completely brutality' that killed me 😂
Everyone saying that Kenny couldn't afford his deck hasn't taken a close look at his cards (when "Elven Blade" is played).
Elven Blade as depicted acts as an instant to give a blocking creature "+1". His "Planeswalker" is an enchantment that makes his opponent reveal a card at random, costs GRR, and can only be activated "during sorcery". Seems like his friends gave him some of their shitty cards and Kenny was able to make a decent deck out of otherwise garbage cards.
The only real Magic card referenced was Kenny's Serindib Sorcerer.
lol good notice
This Episode reminded me of the Good times from the Golden "WoW" SouthPark Era...
I love when they include nerdy stuff into their show like make Warcraft not love and magic the gathering
I remember during my lunch period in high school me and my friends would play UNO. One time I started the round with a +2 then the person next to me placed a +2 as well. Then 4 others place a +2, comes back to me I played another +2, then next to me comes another +2. This time it only went around 3 other players before the last one loudly screams NOOOO. We all just started dying of laughter. All together he had to pick up 24 cards. Icing on the cake was he came in second place as we played to the last person.
i miss this from grade school - the intensity of magic and sharing wit with freinds lol
Nobody cares, go to school
Nobody cares, get lost
The most realistic part of this is Kenny being the best Magic the Gathering player even though he is using his friends cards because his family can't afford to buy him cards.
oooooh, so that's how he got the deck, makes a lot of sense in hindsight
The snap when the cards hit the table.
Wow.... this is pretty close to my childhood when Yugioh first came out. The only few good times in a Neverending sea of depression
I loved original Yugioh! Some great times with friends m, you could actually have a game last like 45 mins lol
okay then
Nobody cares about your childhood. Shut up and get lost
“Shhhh!”
“ *BUT HE’S DYING!* “
Kenny is one of the most inteligent characters in south park
This brings back memories to my godfather introducing me to the game when i was like 13 even took me to compete at a DCI or whatever tourny i ended up winning.
godfather?
@@udozocklein6023 godmothers husband lol
Nobody brings your memories. Go to school
I like how they have the lingo and even make kenny tap his mana but the inconsistencies are also super hilarious. Like playing the enchantment during his opponent’s turn or, if you notice, Kenny’s mana was already tap at the beginning of the scene.
It's like we played in school, nobody knew the rules right
perhaps the enchantment had Flash? I have a few fun ones that do.
idk, "elven blade" (which should probably be an equipment) sounds like something that could presumably have flash
lol I looked to see if it had flash
gonna call the judge on that whole game 🤣
Dont remember the last time I felt so much excitement
The constant hand shuffling 👌 perfect
I just like the fact that there was an enchantment that has flash that was played on a tapped creature that can now deal damage on the opponent's turn
"This late?!"
i think because kennys mana was untapped and the opponent said he could block that the turn had passed to kenny because the opponents combat phase had ended. i dont believe he had all untapped mana before the cut to playing the enchantment
As someone who hangs in game stores a lot because I am an avid D&D DM, but has never played Magic, this is entirely accurate to what Magic looks like.
"Hold on. Wait. Hold on."
is now part of my vocabulary😂
Turned it into a blue frog. You can tell trey and matt have experience in mtg if they know that card. One of my favorites in my deck
The most wholesome scene in South park
They did such a good job on this episode, some small turn order mistakes but I still think they did an awesome job
it's meant to be a parody, so... but otherwise, i agree. i so rarely get to watch this, so finding out about this episode pleased me to no end.
Eh nobody's perfect, this was still a pretty awesome episode of Magic
I have always loved how Matt & Trey, try to understand the thing they are mocking, it really shows and makes their skits better.
They need to do an entire episode on Magic The Gathering 😆
This episode will always remind me of me and my friends in school going through our Yugioh phase. We'd be waiting for lunch time to challenge others to duel. Ah good memories.
This gathering of friends was truly a magical experience!
I really like how they tried to make the cards look realistic.
This brings back memories…I used to play the Pokémon card game at comic shops in early 2000s and I would occasionally watch other kids play Magic the Gathering.
Nobody brings back your memories. Go to school
Used to love Yu-Gi-Oh, until they started introducing a bunch of mechanics and rules that completely changed how the game was played. Now if you ever want to play an old deck, fuck you you're going to lose, because the average card these days is just as strong as some of the rares of the old days. And then to introduce shit like pendulum summoning...
It's a completely different game. At least Magic tries to stay true to it's core values. Yeh, I know the "meta" of playing Magic has changed many times over the years, but the core of the gameplay is still the same, and I still have the same fun playing as I did in the early 00's.
YGO is ridiculous these days. Used to play competitively from the days of Chaos Emperor Dragon through Lightsworn (which I used to dust everyone at my locals with for an entire set straight). I stopped playing around the time of tuners and Stardust dragons just because I couldn't afford the grind anymore.
Anyways, flash forward ten years later and I start getting into MTG:Arena and, having only a very peripheral understanding of Magic, it was (and still is) a harsh learning curve, but all of the mechanics fundamentally make sense and I can even form together some coherent ideas for drafts and deck builds.
Found out that YGO has an Arena version too so I tried it out and....wtf. it took me a minute to remember how tuners worked but when I saw pendulum summoning I was like...this shit makes no sense. Just couldn't even grasp the concept. Then started looking at deck archetypes that are about summoning, tuner summoning, searching for things in your library, discarding things to the grave, removing things from the grave, summoning more cards, then sacrificing cards to counter effects...all in turn one.
The fuck? When I played YGO at locals all the MTG tryhards used to laugh at us about how it was a kids game and wasn't complicated enough cause no mana and lands. These days I can understand the concept of managing your dual lands and triomes and play some basic strats ages before I could ever figure out how to play a proper deck in YGO.
This reminds me of my old high school days, those were some greats times.
Started playing MTG in the 2011 corset. Made a mono-black Vampire deck. The card everyone hated? Doom Blade 😂
4 years into MTG and I become a Blue player using Affinity with Glint Hawk 🤣🤣
My first booster pack had the Sliver Queen. I felt called to make a theme deck lol.
@@TragoudistrosMPH I couldn't agree more lol Sliver Queen is a very good card, but very situational as well. Only used in Silver decks I actually owned over 50 decks back in high school and it was fantastic!
Playing Slivers, Mill, Burn, Goblins, Affinity, Tokens, 5-Colored Dragons, Spirits, and even more decks. It was a privilege to play the best TCG ever created and me and my friends still talk about it to this very day.
I could go on and on about the drama and stories that happened at school too. Someone wanted to punch me in the face for being too good at magic, then a friend of mine decided to give his cards away, so at lunch time he threw a deck in the air and cards went flying everywhere. The other players ran for his cards, then one time I was banned from the high school tournament for being too good, as the guy who was running it, wanted us to keep our tie, as he was afraid to lose the " Number 1 " title to me 😂😂
Good times, as always.
You played magic in a corset?
@@jakecollin5499 LMAO 🤣
It reminds me of my high school days too, but I started playing in 1995.
Fucking hell, I'm old.
The really funny part is those dudes at card shops really do shuffle their hands incessantly throughout the match, just like this, as if you were psychic-ly keeping track of the cards in their hand and them doing that throws it off lmao.
For those of you wondering. MTG wasn’t as expensive when this episode came out.
Most of that's inflation. Stax was a l33t acronym for "the four-thousand-dollar solution" ($T4kS) even in the early aughts.
what episode is this from?
MTG was always expensive.
I just KNOW they have eluded to MTG gameplay and buying addictions in every cartoon.
"Buy more cards!" - Mermaid Man Card
The 72 virgins when the Muslim dude went to heaven on Family Guy were boys playing MTG. That cracked me up.
I like how Kenny gained 2 mana cards just for the cool moment.
The slight heavy mouth breathing is awesome
As a MTG player, that was indeed carnage step bro :3
I remember in the first days of MtG in San Francisco when one still had to ante up a random card from their deck before playing. Many stabbings and wailings were heard in the back alleys of Chinatown those days I tell you. One of the reasons why TSR decided to NOT buy into the WotC card game. The rest, as they say, is history.
Polymorpher’s jest is referenced at the end
when my father passed away back in 97 i got an apartment with an acquaintance i had gone to high school with 7 ears earlier, we were both broke and barely made our bills but every single payday he went to a local game shop and bought an entire case of Magic cards. like a still sealed one of those displays you sit on the counter by the register, and he would spend all night just sitting there opening them and sorting them by rarity. he had boxes full of duplicate cards he kept under the bed that he would pull out and organize afterwards, the thing is he never sold them or anything, and none of our friends played so no one would ever play him. he just kept buying and collecting the things and never got to use them for anything, NO idea what he ever did with them all.
Nobody cares, shut up and get lost
This is south park clip and you making such a off topic bs? Go get a life and never use youtube anyways
No idea of what. If your father passed away, then go back to work anyways 🤡
Shut up and get lost
such brutal display of power!
