We’re not newbies anymore, but we’re not yet ready to Rival the MPL. Tolarian Tutor is for people who already play Friday Night Magic and enjoy playing the ladder on Arena, but want to improve and get better. This is for intermediates, and this is Tolarian Tutor! So put down those Commander Legends Previews and Spoilers for just a moment, and let's learn how to improve your MTG gameplay!
Oh how perfect would it be if MTG printed a card called "Tolarian Tutor" with dragon-proff on it
I mean, you never know. Cards based on actual people, particularly Magic 'celebrities' is pretty common. It's not outside of the realm of possibility!
Perhaps Prof must simply win an invitational? Lol
I mean robot chicken has a card🤷♂️
“Search your library for any Merfolk...”
Literally we need to get a petition going
We may not need to sign the Demonic Pact for tuition here at TCC, but the same can't be said for my current University...
Touche.
Sure, Liliana's Pact turns her to dust if she breaks it, but Student Loan debt sure feels like slowly turning to dust.
Its very nice having you go over some more commander concepts that most slightly-above-casual or advanced players take for granted sometimes. With the constant influx of new players, going over this stuff is so important, and why i gravitated to your channel to the first place.
I find this especially important with the increasing amount of negativity or "this card is broken" conversations/arguments that has surrounded commander lately.
Great conversations! But i think some of the nuance is lost on newer players, and overall card assessment suffers.
Bridging the gap between the new and experienced players is so important for remedying this, imo.
You have struck an excellent balance over the years of appealing to all levels of players and i commend and love you for it! ❤
The very general rule regarding countering Tutors is to "counter the tutored card, not the tutor" but it's a very flimsy rule and usually only comes into play if you have no idea what your opponent is doing and the tutor doesn't put something into play directly (you usually want to counter the tutor if it puts things into play, like Tooth and Nail). Knowing when to counter the tutor, and when to counter the tutored card, will come down to experience and familiarity with your opponent's deck. Do you know that if they get the card they tutored for in hand that they'll win? Then counter the tutor. If you can handle whatever they're doing (or reasonably believe you can), it may be more efficient to counter/remove whatever they tutored for instead.
It really does come down to what you're playing, what they're playing, and how well you understand their/your gameplan at the moment the tutor is cast.
EDH: counter a tutor with Mental Misstep or Swan Song if you can. Assume you'll need two counterspells if they're getting a game-winning combo and ask the other players if they can do anything about it first.
I've definitely heard the "counter the tutored card, not the tutor" saying a lot. I don't think that its that simple. The biggest part of the decision is knowing what type of deck your up against. After that, you just gotta ask yourself some questions.
For myself, I like to:
Evaluate the board state to determine what I can and cannot deal with. ie...do I have enchantment removal or how easily can I defend against a scary creature...etc.
Decide who's ahead because that will inform what the person might be searching for.
Determine if its worse for the tutor or the card to be the graveyard.
See if the person actually play something after the tutor.
So you are saying using Pot of Greed to two cards from my deck is a good idea?
To be fair, it is the probably the easiest example of “overpowered” a card has ever seen.
For the brief period of time I played Yugioh with my friends we all operated with the "everybody gets one" philosophy for Pot of Greed.
I love the idea that Seto Kaiba watches this channel all the time
is that what pot of greed does?
@@Yakkosprite It would explain his obsession for ruining Yu-Gi-Oh for everyone else; he just wants Magic to grow.
Prof! Prof! After Tolarian Tutor: Tutors, are we getting Tolarian Tutor: Tolarians?
That sounds like the Tribal episode.
... He might have to polymorph himself for that one.
@@Shadowrunner123 I think for Tolarians, given that "Tolaria" is a place in the lore and it's not a creature type, an episode about the many extremely powerful cards related in the lore to Tolarian Academy would be most apt.
Thanks, I'll get the card you want every time. (Opposition agent)
And for a measly 2 life, one colorless and one black mana, I cast an instant, Dismember. You're flashy 3/2 gets -5/-5 until end of turn!
@@leemiller6977 Why not just pay the full 4 life?
@@Yourbeautiful666 That always works too ;)
@@Yourbeautiful666 me: haha life is just a resource *pays 28 life in shocklands and phyrexian mana*
also me: wtf burn is so OP, literally the only spell he cast was lightning bolt and he won??
Hey Prof! Room tour and favourite deck tour coming soon? 😃 Love the vids. Keep it up. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
We all know it's merfolk.
Naas Im also from SA lol
One of my favorite "Tutors" in modern is Spoils of the Vault!! Ad Love ♡
"Don't draw a bunch of cards, tutor for singles!"
Another great episode of Tolarian Tutor. love it and can't wait to learn more in the great game of Magic
It's like "I'm the Professor from Tolarian Community College, and this... Is my Master Class" vibes sort of.
"siempre hay lugar para seguir aprendiendo"...what dad always said.
Peace and Love everybody!
Que Pasa!
Hell yeah
I just want to appreciate that maneuver at the end there with the book.
That was nice Prof.
Scheming Symmetry is and will always be one of my favorite tutors. In EDH specifically, if you're in a position where you could use a board wipe, it is always better to get a card you need and convince an opponent to wrath for you than to tutor up and use a wrath yourself IMO
Hell, you can even let an opponent win, as long as you hold up a white for a properly timed Silence or Angel's Grace!
When listing "tutors that put the card directly into the graveyard", you forgot Gamble. :D
10/10 comment
I would day this is the most helpful episode so far. Mostly because you explain why you should play things a certain way.
what a coincidence!! i was just wondering what the best tutors commander had to offer were, very handy video as always professor :)
Opposition agent: Ha, hold my beer.
Yeah Im like why is he making a tutor video right as a tutor hoser is being released lol
No mention of the iconic power play of exerting dominance by tutoring for a tutor!
That's called showing off while going off!
I really enjoy the extra production on this episode.
I’m watching this video after opening a Diabolic Intent and sticking it in my combo-ish Mardu sac deck on a whim. (I’ll have to playtest it more, of course, but it seems like my hunch might have been right.) Good advice, as usual; the power level tip is something I hadn’t actively considered, buf it makes perfect sense.
Love the set backround and classy majic entrance by the prof!
Some very sage advice, Prof! Thanks for helping make my game better and more enjoyable.
Thanks for this lesson. Now I see why you can shuffle the deck yet still sometimes find a card you want. I was wondering why you would shuffle your deck instead of pre-ordering your deck so you eventually come to know where a card is located in your deck. So tuggtors mitigate the randomness caused by shuffling a deck. Within their limits, of course.
I love cards that tutor to top of library for my Gishath Deck, Congregation at Dawn, Noxious Revival, Wordly Tutor and Sylvan Library are all beautiful cards for the deck
Thanks for this Professor! I do wish that you'd gone a little bit more in depth on how to know what to target with your tutors, since your mistakes section was so brief. I've been playing a ton of Commander lately, and my new Akiri deck always seems to present a quandary regarding what equipment or creature to tutor for. Regardless, as always this is much appreciated!
As someone who has just started to play MTGO in apposed to MTGA this vid is super useful for me, thanks!
Prof to you and your team, I Thank You and please never stop making more episodes like this one!
My MtG game has gotten WAY better since I started watching this channel!
I love your videos man. I like your passion for the game, and the fun we all have playing it. You're awesome for what you do.
Just noticed the Professor had to confiscate Avacyn's Moonsilver spear.
That whirl intro, I think I watched it 20 times. Nice work.
tutor cards are my favourite. Mastermind's Acquisition + Wilderness Reclamation control was my absolute favourite deck
My favorite series so far!
Small correction Prof wishes can’t target a card in Exile, despite exile taking the place of “remove from the game” it instead created an in game zone called exile with less access than the gy. 6:30
Fancy intro Prof! Love the content! Thank you for all the great vids!
Every MtG players should watch this series, even pro-players, they have knowledge but not always know how to present their knowledge.
Every teachers should watch this series, this series is the best textbook of how to plan a lesson.
For those MtG players and teachers as their job? LOOP THE WHOLE SERIES!
Love this series a ton, and the editing is fantastic!
Loving the Tolarian Tutor episodes
In regards to whether Tron is combo or control... it's both. Combo is not an archetype like aggro, midrange, tempo, control is an archetype. Rather, it can be descriptive of any deck within those archetypes.
I want a demonic tutor with flavor text that says, “I’m simply one hell of a butler.”
This will be the only online class that I'll join that I'll ever enjoy
Nice video I will try this
Thanks for the advice!
You forgot to cover Trinket mage in Bomberman. Trinket mage is like Recruiter of the guard but for artifacts. it not only plays like a toolbox deck but also combos off. You mentioned in the video, Professor, that if a toolbox deck could run a combo, it might as well just run tutors for that combo, but Bomberman does both. Unless I’m wrong or missed something?
So informative... thank you!
I think an episode on how much information you reveal to the opponent would be really cool. You could go over how to hide information, how to gather information, etc.
Minigame: rewatch this video but imagine that instead of “tutor”, the professor is actually saying “tudder”
tooter
Making fun of his NW accent is super classy.
@@pvtpain66k i would love to apologise, but i don't even know what NW is. also, it's a joke grow up.
i have no idea what that word means...
I mean in english often t's end up being pronounced like d's when spoken quickly. It's totally normal, there's a linguistic term for it that I can't recall off the top of my head, but many languages have similar features.
Leaving my like and comment because this is the premium content I used to get into magic in the first place.
In casual games of commander, I sometimes don't run tutors, just because I like to challenge myself to get out of a bad situation without a silver bullet. It is a lot more rewarding to solve a problem yourself, even if it was harder than it had to be.
My opinion on Diabolic tutor in Commander: fun way to wildcard my muldrotha deck and Edgar markov. Won me a game by getting my Rise of the Dark Realms. I had already ramped an absurd amount, so I really lost nothing from casting it.
Transmute artifact is amazing 🙌
I love these videos - thanks for making them Professor!
I was looking through some of my old cards & found demonic tutor. I remember picking up a few years ago in a 25 cent bin
Just FYI Commander is soon to come to MTG Arena. While I haven't heard any offical announcement, I did just see serveral commander only cards added in the game.
I suppose I should start by saying I play commander. I have always felt it's better to counter the tutored card then the tutor itself. That player will have spent Mana from both the tutor and the tutored card, there are all kinds of ways to deal with a tutored card once the tutored card is place in hand or on top of the library, the tutor gets spent so it can't help out later without graveyard interaction, these are just the benefits I can think of that makes the risk of allowing your opponent get a card worth it. In a lot of cases I find it's better to use a counter on the problem card then the card that gets them that problem card (or just have two counters).
Great fun intellect content for every type of player collector and smooth content while being entertaining💐
What you've built is really cool
In my opinion, "Hibernation's End" is a decent tutor. It has its moments.
Best vid in a while Prof :)
I feel that tutors are a power level thing, if you are trying to push a deck, the easiest way to make it more reliable/powerful is usually to add playable tutors. I rarely use them outside of EDH though, since I'm generally pretty budget.
Note, if they are using Transmute to tutor, you can't easily counter that, so you'll need to counter the actual card, making these potentially useful tutors, as they might tutor up something (dodging counters that can target instants/sorceries), then depending on what you play, it may not be as easy to counter.
As for actually using the tutors in edh, I find an early value tutor can be key, such as Enlightened into Sol Ring, if I need mana asap. I've even used Demonic Tutor to find land/ramp, because I'm guaranteed to lose if I don't sometimes. Yeah, it's a feelsbad play when you use a +30 dollar card to do what your starting hand should have already been doing, but it can be the best play available. That said, the deck I do that in runs a pretty ungodly number of tutors, and might well get a replacement or even 2 during the game, so losing an early tutor is less of a problem than being unable to cast my Commander early.
I would love to have my enlightened tutor or mystical tutor signed by The Prof, honestly. It would be cool to pop either of those off before going infinite in my Vehicles Commander deck with Prof’s signature lol
Nice book juggling at the end! I hope this didn't take too many takes, that book looks too pretty to be damaged recklessly.
PS: I really like those episodes and I feel the professor does also.
I haven’t watched in a good while. You have your hair again!
So we've done bolts, birds and discard effects. Are we doing cantrips next?
I had to sign a demonic pact to pay for my university’s tuition
This is for people who like playing mtg arena ladder? Well, that isn't me but I like the prof so I am still going to watch it.
who did the art animation at the beginning of the episode!? its great!
loving the videos!
Demonic Tutor is what helped me get into the game.
Is no one else bothered about his jacked being tucked in on itself at the start?! so glad he fixed that lol
Tutors are one of the best cards in the game tbh.
Same with dual lands, moxen, ancestral and so on... it's sad most players can't play with the actually fun/good cards and grow to just hate them out of spite.
There's nothing more fun than a good counterspell/misdirection war over an Ancestral Recall. Or casting a Yawgmoth's Will with a loaded graveyard.
Bottoms up every time he says Tutor!
As a person who loves Sen Triplets you should make an update video of your Sen Triplets deck if you have it.
If I know I'm about to lose, I sometimes tutor for additional tutors, then rinse and repeat.
Of course, I thoroughly shuffle my library each time I do.
One time I had 15 mana and nothing to do with it, so I Diabolic Tutored a Diabolic Revelation for 6 cards to have my next turn
"Bro where's my dark magician at again?"
we really need an episode on mana rocks. with jeweled lotus coming out soon, maybe we can help prevent people from thinking they honestly need a $125 mana rock that might not do that great in their deck.
This is some of the professor's top tier content!!!
Here’s a list of cards that opposition agent ruins!
Much needed class
I just realized the intro looks like an early 2000s Disney channel show
Thanks for the lesson Prof, was worth the 3 life.
Storm still does use burning wish, actually. There's a 6 card toolbox and a grapeshot
Pro Tip: Be aware of Dimir hybrid cards: Shadow of Doubt & Ashiok, Dream Render
Love the suit prof!
OOOOooooh!!!! I thought it was getting the card you need from cracking packs or something... It was getting the card you need during a game. :P
My favourite is Tolarian Tutor
So...where did he get that big, timeworn, hardbound book specifically about MtG strategy?
You should do a video about buying singles with the same title !:D
nice new series, prof
Be a me tutor for a land then directly play the tutored card then tap it to play Winds of Change after watching the whole table stare at you for tutoring for a land in the first place then surprise them with the wheel card they then realize that was actually the best play you could have done at that moment then play a few fast mana artifacts and then another wheel spell all while having something like Nekusar, the Mindrazor out for some major burn to the enemies sadly it is not combat damage otherwise they would have lost to commander damage. But for some even more fun enchant him with Phyresis granting him infect and since it states Nekusar himself deals damage while sure it is not commander damage it will actually be infect damage so two wheels kills the entire table. If the table did not target you first for playing Nekusar before then they will now even in cEDH. Well competitive players would target you first anyways as Nekusar counters that format due to the nature of being put in wheel decks
just a sidenote; people who specialise in playing lands in legacy haven't played gamble for years. you can often see people with low experience with the deck play them still. but people who have been playing lands.dec for years all switched them out for abrupt decay in 2018...
I saw "Get The Magic Card You Need Every Time" and thought this video would be the Professor imploring viewers to buy singles 😂😂😂
