I watched a friend teach someone to play and walk them through it with a starter deck and basically just played useless crap on there turn mostly focusing on their understanding. Then when I was taught same thing, they focused on explaining how the deck, cards I had and how to bounce and they played crap basically on their turn to make sure I rebuttals in an understanding way and won, now I’m teaching my kids during quarantine and let them win their first rounds doing the same thing.... kinda assumed it was like a thing when walking someone new or returning after a long hiatus really.

    So what happened in the last game was that Dan had tapped three swamps manually before activating Icon of Ancestry, this is fine so far. However, we can both see and hear that he pressed "continue" afterwards, this moves him to the combat phase and all mana that was tapped disappears. Mana in MTG does not transfer between phases unless a card says otherwise.
    Easiest way to avoid this is to click the artifact you wanna activate and then the game asks you to tap lands for it.
    Hope this helped some one that's fairly new to the game.
    Bonus trivia: There used to be a rule in MTG that was called mana burn witch meant that a player would lose life for each mana that was floating when changing phases.

    I love MTG, but this video is a perfect example of how there's very little skill involved in actually playing the game. All the skill is in building the deck. As long as you have even a moderate understanding of how your deck works (which Dan didn't, but it doesn't take much practice to get the hang of it) then the action to take at any given time is pretty obvious. It all comes down to what cards are in your deck and how lucky you get with your draws

      Lol Dan knows how to play the decks, he’s played magic a lot longer than Arin, he just doesn’t know the new sets or the arena client. Arin’s decks are bad, yes, but he also made lots of mistakes he didn’t notice. The most glaring and obvious one was never mulligan-ing even the most awful starting hands, but there’s other stuff like scrying for useless cards he won’t be able to play, and never playing for tempo instead of mana efficiency
