Magic: The Gathering is the greatest game in the world, but it is also one of the most difficult and complex. Just because you know how to play, doesn’t mean you know how to play it well. Just because you know what goes in a deck doesn’t mean there isn’t more to learn. That’s why this deck will explore not how to build a Magic: The Gathering deck, but how to build a better one.
One of the best, most creative parts of Magic is building your own deck, combining cards and ideas to express yourself and your passions on the battlefield. However, coming up with the perfect combination of 60 or sometimes 100 cards can be a daunting, frustrating and intimidating task.
This video will cover how to optimize your strategy, tinker with your curve, and how to create consistency so that your deck performs as well as it can! Why run 4 copies of some cards and only 2 or even 1 copy of another card? We’ll cover all that as well as playtesting and sideboarding as needed.

Someone walked in and took a glance and the screen and thought I was watching an academical video. I just wanted you to know your level of sophistication.

"Don't be a slave to your theme" But... But goblins though.

Ok. I don’t play MTG or ever have for that matter. I have fallen down a deep rabbit hole. I watched one of your videos days ago and I have watched more everyday. Learning the basics or the game, building deck advise, buying items, or the general value of cards. This channel really does an amazing job of opening up a very large world to someone who has never been into Magic.

I recently got into Magic with a group of friends and I love it. I feel that my reason is kind of silly though, I like playing out stories with my cards and imaging them in their own epic tales as I'm playing. I guess kind of like a flavour win.

"It's not about winning individual games of Magic. It's about getting better, win or lose" It's 2020, as a new player on Magic The Gathering, this channel helps me a lot in saving money, building my deck, and having fun! :) salute to you, Professor!!! - Dan from Philippines

Whenever the professor tosses something in the air to then catch, he looks very awkward and if he does catch it, he then looks very surprised that he did.

"How to be better at card game. Step 1: Know what you're doing" Me: Well, there's my problem
-
My strategic reason to play only one copy of a card usually is: I only have one copy of the card xD (and it's an expensive one so i don't wanna buy more copies just for a fun deck)
-
Girlfriend: "If you love your cards so much why dont you marry them" Prof: "Don't marry your cards" . I'm so conflicted
-
"Just because you know how to play, doesn't mean you know how to play well." I'm in this video and I don't like it.
-
I host a Tabletop Gaming Club at the high school I teach at and we recently got an influx of new players who are all neophytes at the game. This video couldn't have come at a better time. Love your content as always.
-
It's easy to build better decks: just add Benjamins and Grants.
-
Helps to finally be told why you would run 1-4 copies of a card. Hells connect so many dots.
-
I just want to say that your breakdown of how many copies of a card you play with examples just really opened my eyes not only to better general deck building but sideboarding as well. Thank you, Prof.
-
Something you forgot to mention in the "one of" section is that sometimes, you might want an effective fifth or even ninth copy of a card--one that is not as good but has the same effect for all intents and purposes. This usually applies to lands, like, say, a single guildgate to play alongside your sets of scry and shocklands for added consistency.

I see that thumbnail as the legendary sorcery "The Professor's Deck Sundering".
-
“Don’t be a slave to your theme” looks at my three decks with eldrazi looks at my four decks with flying
-
Deck building is pretty overwhelming to me, but building a cat deck for my wife relaly got me motivated. Even trying to keep every creature house cat ish (no beasts, leopards, elemental cats, etc.) and it turned out to be a pretty crazy +1/+1 and lifelink deck. Actually, a lot of how you described in the video, but I can proudly say I figured it out before watching videos or looking at forums.
-
"Did you read the card?" Is literally what I say to a lot of my opponents lol
-
My elves-deck generates so much combo-green mana that I could replenish the entire rain forest. (yes, I have a use for it too =P)
