You haven't ever been truly entertained until you hear a beefy Italian guy use a boa constrictor's hunting behavior as an analogy for his Magic: The Gathering strategy.
-
Parents get your kids into Magic The Gathering. They won't have money left for drugs or alcohol
-
I’ll never forget, my math teacher was friends with the creator of Magic the Gathering. And he told us about how he played the game with a small group of friends when it was still in development and he has some of the original stuff hung up in his class room.
-
I taught my kids to play magic, and now we have big family games. My wife, the kids, and myself all against each other. It's a fantastic way for the family to bond and a way for all of us to have a common interest. I absolutely love this game.
-
My god, that Italian family seriously hit me right in the feels zone. I've never played magic in my entire life, but the way they respect the game and make it a good time like that makes me wanna give it a whirl with some friends.
-
The real tragedy is those cards at the beginning weren't sleeved
-
The ending with those kids was worth the whole watch. Hearing them call each other noobs and scrubs LMFAO.
-
I watched this documentary for the first time 7 years ago and I always come back every few years. Gosh time flies but I’m so happy this is what got me into magic.
-
Magic is the shit. One of the guys in the Army showed me how to play, than after that it was 12 dudes playing everyday for 2 years. love this game
-
The two kids playing at the end legitimately made me smile... I never played magic, and have no clue what the hell is going on but watching those two just warmed my heart... great watch!!!
-
Anyone else freaking out because you want to know what's in that kids binder?! The mystery is killing me....
-
Those kids at the end were exactly how I felt my first day learning about magic. Immediately hooked. The friendly competitiveness while playing against my close friend.
-
"No one's bigger than the game. The game has to be about community." Amen!
-
The Italian brothers make the game far more appealing than the professional players.
-
Shoutout to the brothers for loving their family and playing Vintage which is easily the most fun way to play the game
-
just watched this documentary without even knowing how the game works.
-
From 1995 till about 2001 I collected Magic Cards... never once played a game. I just liked the badass drawings.
-
So we're not gonna talk about the dude acting like he had state secrets like i can't show you this on camera or here in this store like WTF TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED
-
This was almost too wholesome, the brothers just getting together to play cards with friends. That is the EXACT energy we need in the world. this was a great watch
-
The "Italian jock nerds" seem like they would be fun to play with. 😁
