Yesterday, my (and my roommates') first decks arrived. One of us already introduced us to many of the rules, and we played all day and night. We had to google a lot of stuff, some questions being answered, some not. This video is a great introduction to magic, its ruleset and some basic guidelines. Thank you for posting it, I will surely recommend it to anyone that wants to know more about this game.

As someone who doesn't feel confident or comfortable enough to play with a group yet because I don't feel like I understand the game enough, thank you for making this. Every other video I found was too truncated and left out important things because they assumed it was common knowledge. I really appreciate the time and detail you put into this. I haven't even finished the video yet, but I'm sitting here with my coffee and a notepad and I already understand so much more than I did when I started, so thank you so much.

@instruktorCM
2 жыл бұрын
I have to correct one thing concerning priority. It doesn't automatically pass after casting a spell. A player keeps the priority after casting a spell and he can cast another one on top of the stack. Only after he's done casting spells does the priority passes to the other player. Not often will new players encounter the need to cast a spell on top of their own but it's useful to know that you can so for instance if you ever hold a card that says "copy target spell", you can copy your own and not just the spells of your opponent.
