here is some info about how to play magic in my own review and how i lose to a little girl.
This video goes over the different changes I made to a deck that started as a standard RDW. The final deck contains a lot of cards designed to deal with cards/decks that I commonly played in local tournaments. I played this deck up until the release of Conflux. To see how this deck changed after the conflux release please see De
This video was made with the best will at heart and almost the worst tools. I promise the next video is going to be better so please bear with me. So please keep the rude comments to yourself but please critique me about voice pitch and diction not me stumbling on words or remembering what I planned on saying because it is difficult to speak into a camera (well for me). Thank you and please enjoy the video.
Editor Note: This video has a large amount of background noise and crackling.
Ok, the things you must look for are: threats, removal, card advantage or card draw, synergy, and lastly a deck focus (a game plan on how to win your games).
Cards that screamed "play me" are [card]Martial Coup[/card] and [card]Caldera Hellion[/card]: both board sweepers and very powerful. [card]Martial Coup [/card]was 1 "for sure" card without a doubt.

I really think the decks that will be in the new standard after Lorwyn block leaves will mean new staples and new lands will be chase rares and the unknown m10 land are making me sit at the edge of my seat....but till then I think 5cc will be the control deck that will most be played. It can adapt its mana base to accomadate for any card and I think there is one that makes the red deck match up better than the mirror and that's Thought Hemorrhage: it is like [card]Blightning[/card] on steroids. It gets rid of the play set of whatever your deck can't deal with like Demigod and [card]Revillark[/card] or in a black/red deck it can get ride of [card]Stillmoon Cavalier[/card] or the [card]Glorious Anthem[/card] to make black white tokens cry.... it's a card that makes topdecking worth nothing if they can't draw an answer.
Editor Note: This video has some sound problems.
I hope you all enjoy my "deck tech" with my Dark Bant list. As I mention in the video, I piloted this to a 4-2 in a regionals, which earned me 10th, 1 match win away from qualifying for nationals. in the regionals, I went 0-1 against faeries, 1-0 against blightning, 1-0 against planeswalker control, and 2-1 against 5CC.
This video continues the deck evolution once conflux was released. Conflux brought a lot of changes to this deck. I hope you enjoy the video.
A not so serious video on how to play the game we love. Enjoy
This is my casual extended legal deck tech, I hope you enjoy!
I didn't have physical copies of the deck, so I suggest that as you watch the video you scroll through the decklist and as you hover your mouse over a card it'll be shown next to the video, so you can see the cards I will be talking about. I go in the order of the deck straight down, and there is no sideboard because I haven't had time to make one and it's more metagame dependent so yeah.
This is my first attempt at making a video, I hope you enjoy it.
This is hopefully the first of my "experiments". I plan on giving everyone combo decks that are fun and very Johnny. I hope you enjoy my "laboratory".
Two Planeswalkers are transported to Earth whilst unconscious. When one awakes he discovers the other, and a bag of Cheetos. When the other awakes he discovers the one with the bag of Cheetos, and madness. While the two walkers are different in every way possible they must set aside their differences if they are to overcome this new and treacherous world…
After covering his car with cardboard in an attempt to make a sweet ride, Mick explains how proxies can be made for expensive and hard to find cards for Magic the Gathering.
Reduced to tears after a heartfelt moment, Mick realizes that faeries are still a problem in today's standard format, and gives suggestions for cards to beat them.
After watching some bad television at 3 in the morning, Mick dreams about a game show in which 8 of the 16 cards from every core set in Magic will be selected to be printed in the upcoming Magic 2010.
Noobie and the Dood takes a refreshingly light hearted look at magic from the eyes of a seasoned player (The Dood) and a relative newcomer (Noobie). Inspired by the many great MTG shows out there and fueled by sheer insanity N&TD strives to take the culture, lifestyle and inside humor of the game and turn it into something people might actually want to watch. We had a lot of fun making it and we can assure you that if voted best in show we WILL be back with even more! Thanks BlackBorder.com Viva La Magic !
This is a video describing a few of the most important techniques I see when I go to local Magic tournaments. If you don't recognize these things at first, look for them the next time you're at a tournament. Hey, maybe it's just me and maybe it's just the kids that live in my city, but I'm fairly sure it's all over the place.
In this video I try and explain how to do them and explain how they work, even though it's just Magic. (Hah.)
Today we discuss possible decks for the new standard, best cards in Alara Reborn, limited tips and more.
Hey everyone, here is my second submission for The Blackborder Show, hope you like it.
Next week I'll be doing one on sideboarding and how I got on at a regionals I took this to on the 10th of May.
As promised a video about Cascading into Suspend Spells. Hope you like it. Please vote and leave feedback. It helps.
Another submission that I hope everyone enjoys. Hopefully you get to see this before regionals and it helps you.
Next week I talk about my UBR EDH deck, featuring Nicol Bolas as the general.
Hello everybody. This week, as Alara Reborn has so quickly encroached upon us and standard tourneys around the world commence, so we are going to start this season by making some predictions on what's going to happen in standard and the deck evolution of what I plan to take to Regionals next week, as well as a note on the show's new structure. So let's draw!

This is a deck video about "Greater Aggrodon", a super-fast red aggro deck focusing around Greater Gargadon and sacrificing. Great synergy, fun deck, very fast, very competitive.
A fun video taking a look at some cool old over-sized Magic cards. Light-hearted and semi-informative.
This video is designed to teach a basic deck building principal that I call the "rule of nine". Hope you enjoy.
This week we’re at Regionals (a little late) and we get the opinions of players around the tournament and the sites and sounds of the convention center including top8er Ethan Sturm (a friend of the show) whose unofficial top 8 match we highlight here.
This video is an example of the "toolbox" concept used in many Magic decks. I enjoy hearing your feedback so feel free to post and Vote. I respond to as many comments as I can.
In this episode, the Proffessors take a look at all the different things happening in the Magic the Gathering universe and they do it "The Onion" style. It is as awesome and funny as it sounds! Check it out.
In this video Deckstein takes us through his 12-step program. Don't miss out on this Deckstein special straight from the lab!

why only 2x mogg fanatic?
Ok, here is what I've noticed in your video:
a) You didn't organise your speech and as a result, you kept going Aaa, Eeerm and then again Aaa, Eeerm because you couldn't remember what you wanted to say.
b) You didn't have all of your cards together and consequently, you were moving away all the time while trying to find them.
c) You didn't show your face even once. Is anyone after you?
How can you explain all of the above?
All fare comments.
I agree I could have had a better script. The Aaa and Eeerm's as you put it should go.
I did have the cards together and in order, but you are right I had to move away from the camera to get them.
As for not showing my face. I'm not wanted or anything like that. I made the video by myself and it was the only way I could run the camera and give the show.
I am planning to make a second video and I will try to remedy the Aaa's, Eeerm's and moving a way from the camera. I'm still not sure how to get my face on video and run to camera. Do you really want to see me?
Anyother comments would be great thanks.
I only put 2x mogg fanatic in because the deck started to move away from a fast deck and towards a mid game deck. I didn't like drawing a fanatic any time after turn 5 because I had more powerful cards I wanted to play. However, I still wanted to have a one drop in most starting hands and only 4 figures didn't insure that. Thus I played with 2 fanatics to better insure a turn one play, but to lower my odds of drawing one late game.
well to solve the face you could always edit out the parts when you're walking to and from your camera
Countryside crusher+ demigod= a nombo. if you don't want to be dropping a crusher on turn 3, you shouldn't be running 4 of them. crag puca is not nearly as good as gouger because it requires a mana investment in order to do as much damage, plus if it gets blocked by a 3/3 first striker, your attack was pointless. i understand what you mean about the 4 drops. traditionlly, the way to solve this on turn 4 is burn+drop or drop+drop. you might also want to consider running Hellspark elemental.
over all, i'd say the video was decent, not great. the lack of enthusiam in your voice is really bad, and i think you need to sound more excited (personally, i feel LSV suffers from this too)

oh sorry but the double post, computer messed up
Wow I knew this wasn't the best video, but the average rating is now down below 2 stars... that is worse then the good at this learns magic video. Is mine that bad? Is it the subject matter or format that is bad?
I'd still go for a 4x mogg fanatic. This is the first time I saw a red deck aiming at mid game. The usual red decks I encounter burns you fast. Really fast.
Need more umphh. your monotone puts me to sleep. content was Okay just stated a few obvious facts that all players know about RDW.
the crusher shout never be in any deck in standard
needs max moggs
Countryside Crusher in a a Naya deck with Knight of the Reliquary can do pretty well in standard. The lands in the graveyard pump both.
