Minute Magic: Are You Casting Right? #mtg #edh #mtgcommander

Your channel is fantastic. It’s almost a rules clarification wiki

Magic just got more and more complicated. Loving it. Keep up the good shorts

Lvl 3 judge playa

People saying it’s vision have clearly never watched What If

This is really great. It's always interesting to break down the most fundamental aspect of the game and understand it better. I do have a request tho, would you mind linking at least the core ruling in a comment so that I can reference it later?

Didn't make sense until you showed the onmath line

Are you a level 3 judge?

Weird, I thought what trinisphere did was make playing chalice of the void where x=1 in modo painful

Omg your dogs are so cute... And your videos are so informative... The perfect channel

Relevant ruling for reference CR 601 - 601.2i

The trinasphere thing really caught me off guard like wtf a card that has its own rule I had to double take that one lmao 😂

Thoughtcast + Chromatic Star

MTG can be so painful

Man, it's good knowing some of my rules interpretations have actually been accurate. However it's so difficult to explain without everyone looking at you like you've sprouted an extra head that always lies.

love the dogs at the end 😂

Your videos are helping me understand a lot that I've struggled with before, so thank you.

Any chance you could explain rounding up and down with cards like Virtus the Veiled and Dire Fleet Ravager please?
I have trouble understanding how rounding works.

Hey man, these videos are awesome, you've helped our group out so much!

And magic players say yugioh is confusing

Woah, didn't know that you can choose the order of casting costs if it has additional costs. Thanks bro.

Goad? Could you help clarify Goad?
Like in a 3player pod. What happens when 1 player is goaded by the other 2? Now that player can attack anyone? Or does order of being goaded matter? Maybe I just shouldn't play goad.

Had this conversation last night! a guy wanted to cast embercleave, but did not have enough mana. I explained that he could announce the spell, then sacrifice one of his attackers for mana to pay for the card.

I love the dog cameos

Umm what? I've played in tournaments in shops and I'm pretty sure his trigger will still go off, and to my knowledge you have to do the additional cost before any targeting/damage, and since the red card doesn't go of cast, it goes off play, and his legend says cast his will go off and should as soon as you pay and announce your card, then he'd die to damage, that's how the stack works, almost every other game there's a judge call to ask how the stacks work. And from what I've been told what you did is wrong

"There's something in the rules specifically for Trinisphere?"
"It's a weird card."
🤣🤣🤣

I can tell this the guy who has to explain banding a lot because everyone asks

Wish I could add this to a playlist

coincidentally, this is also how you can cast The Great Henge for 2 green when you have 6 mana floating in Omnath.

My brain hurts

As someone who once read the ENTIRE rulebook back around Scars of Mirrodin (except banding cuz that was useless knowledge) I truly appreciate your videos.

This is a very simplistic explanation of the "layering" in magic.

That bear comment had no right making me laugh that hard

King mtg content 👑 I believe this is yours.

How about for leonin arbiter when do you pay the 2?

Things like this are the reason why I don't like to play a lot of those, since you must sac in order to cast counterspell can be devastating especially since you'll be left without that creature

I really love you videos man, they have always helped me with the more tricky rules, because my dad used to play when the game first came out, and does not really know the new rules. Keep up the great work, love the vids.

Lol

The bear knows what it did.

You're very smart and great guy but I would hate to play with you.

Sheldon and Elmo! 😍😍😍

Ngl ruric thar rly makes me wanna build a spell slinger deck around him

Why does the on cast trigger not happen? Is it because the spell isn't on the stack yet?

yeah, people don't realize you cast the spell, THEN pay for it. super simplified explanation

So the damge goes off before the spells cast?

Favorite example of this back during 4th edition was goblin grenade. People would try to react by trying to kill the sacrifice goblin to stop spell. Like nope by time you can respond the goblin is gone.

Technically, you can choose whether to draw 11 or 7 cards

But doesn't ruric that's ability go on the stack after the card is played. Making it be first in the stack?

I've stumbled across a few of your videos now and i got a question.... what did my bears do to you, man?

Gonna need a video made with the voice overs but it's just the dogs lol

So when you mean the spell is "officially cast" you mean once the steps of 601.2a-h are met and we move to 601.2i? I feel like when we, as magic players, cast a spell that required additional costs or mode selections need to use the language in the rule book (propose) to refer to the spell before its cast. ex.

"I propose to cast Cyclonic rift, I'm going to choose its overload cost, I'll pay the costs, it's cast, and I'll trigger your Mystic Remora."

Does this apply to activating abilities as well? Just curious.
