Game Theory: I Lost EVERY Game of Magic… So You Don't Have To! (Magic The Gathering)

God I really needed this, I’m trying to get into magic but didn’t know how to play. BIG THANK!

This comment section… Been a while since I've felt this left out.

I created my own card game (brochure for it) in my last video

The deck they were showing (the one with the fish on the back of the deck) is actually a 54 card deck.

Amazing

Well he pretty much gave basics lol

We all know 50% of games are lost because of mana screw/flood xD

I don't care if I lose when it comes to Magic. It's really the only game I play completely casually. I just play it because I enjoy the game's playstyle. It's ironic because Magic is a very competitive game.

they dont have sleeves!

I created my own card game so I don’t have to shuffle the cards to be original

What is your opinion on heartstone?

The cam zooming at Mat’s hand shuffling the cards made me laugh

Surprising fact even if not: wizard of the coast owned pokemon a LONG time ago

I have lost so many games of mtg…Now I know why!

I’m afraid it will take people years to fully understand the power of Magic the Gathering, I’ve played since I was seven and there will always be a combo I never expected. You can’t truly explain thirty years in twenty minutes, and there are many, many more strategies within decks. My opinion, you want to learn, look at every card in a single set and analyze how they each affect each other and previous sets and playstyles, then build a 100% focused deck from those cards.

I know you are not given us all of it mat pat

I doubt anyone would see this comment since I’m 6 months late to the video, but it bothers me that you didn’t account for basic land cards in the calculations. You kinda need land in order to play, so wouldn’t the probability drop? Also, there are 5 different basic lands that could play a role. Anyway, I would love to see y’all’s gameplay.

Disappointed by the fact you didn't mention the turing machine deck

Please do a video on commander

i challenge you matpat seriously lets play

Yes please, more Deck building theory. I'm not even playing Magic, but Runeterra, and the same concepts apply there as well.

Finaly! A sucking tutorial by mat!

This is actually a good video to watch for when your in the lockdown thanks matpat

But commander…

I now want to play a game of mtg with mat pat i got a new deck FIGHT ME PLZ

OK

Laughs in Vampire deck

Dude, this video is amazing, you should do cardfight vanguard analysis, it has a lot of probability in it.

We're the new kid on the block when it comes to trading card games!

I wanna see something like that but with yu-gi-oh

I can beat Jason

When you place a card down on your turn without having haste can you block if your opponent attack you on the next turn or do you have to wait until it's your next turn then you can start attacking and blocking

4:18 why is he pacing on top of the couch?!

Grandaddy of all card games is obviously YUGIOH!!!! SOMEBODY AGREE WITH ME PLEASE!!!
