I didn't know of these jump start boosters! Your idea to have it follow the standard format seems good

I could be wrong but from what I've seen Jumpstart Foundations is much more of a Jumpstart 3 than a set-adjacent Jumpstart. 46 themes is the same number as the actual Jumpstart sets and cards in it aren't necessarily standard legal. In my understanding it is Foundation-adjacent in the same way that original Jumpstart was m21-adjacent.

They're a fresh & alternative take on the tainted semi-cycle, even if we only get another 5, I'd be happy.

Much better. Good job.

This is a re-upload of my last video ( ua-cam.com/video/8YC1Ua8oY-o/v-deo.html ) which had audio problems. I took the opportunity to try a different strategy with the thumbnail.

Thank you.

I would imagine they didn't emphasize Ravnica in the names because they want to be able to reprint them in non-Ravnica sets without it being weird

what is this guy even yapping about? this is nothing

Thanks, but I think I'll stick to guildgates. Way simpler to remember

I can usually be provoked into remembering duals, shocks, and fetch names, what's one more landcycle to store in my brain- oh, my brain just overwrote "how to keep drool in my mouth," anyone got a napkin?

Thanks this is handy

Best tutorial for beginners. I check out the Professor (helpful, but not the best). There was another guy who did a hour plus video that was best tutorial for a newb like me. But your videos are very good. You should do your own “how to play”. Make it long and thorough!

Back off the mic or get a pop filter, your audio is full of plosives.

🔴Corrections, 🟡Omissions, and 🟢Addendums: 🔴Sam Middleton points out that I am incorrect when I say that a triggered ability with an intervening if clause triggers but isn't put on the stack if the clause isn't "true" when the triggering event occurs. Rather, if the intervening if clause if "false" when the triggering event occurs, it the triggered ability just doesn't trigger at all. While I don't know of any case where this would matter for Simic Ascendency, there are ways to interact with triggered abilities being triggered so this is important for understanding triggered abilities with an intervening if clauses. 🔴Tim Chirananthavat points out that you don't "target" permanents with counters, you "choose" them. As it turns out Proliferate, a keyword action, is featured in the next Standard Set so WotC has a proper explainer video for it: ua-cam.com/video/xFFTPFPxy9Y/v-deo.html 🟡This one I noticed. I went through all the trouble of finding two examples of cases where you could cause an opponent to "control" a "You lose the game" effect but totally forgot about cards that just cause an opponent or player to lose the game like Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God, Vraska the Unseen, or Strixhaven Stadium. 🟢calemr points out that one of the reasons "moving counters to a creature" counts as "putting counters on that creature" is that what you are actually doing, mechanically, is removing counters from a permanent and putting the same number and type on another permanent. Check the first Ruling on "The Ozolith" in Gatherer for a fun "cards don't always do what they seem to say they do" example. gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=the%20ozolit

10:47 Proliferate doesn't target :P

7:33 This is incorrect. The effects on a card, even within a single paragraph, happens from left to right. Paragraphs aren't relevant. The exceptions are the self-replacement effects. 608.2c. The controller of the spell or ability follows its instructions in the order written. However, replacement effects may modify these actions. In some cases, later text on the card may modify the meaning of earlier text (for example, "Destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated" or "Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into its owner's graveyard.") Don't just apply effects step by step without thinking in these cases--read the whole text and apply the rules of English to the text. 614.15. Some replacement effects are not continuous effects. Rather, they are an effect of a resolving spell or ability that replace part or all of that spell or ability's own effect(s). Such effects are called self-replacement effects. The text creating a self-replacement effect is usually part of the ability whose effect is being replaced, but the text can be a separate ability, particularly when preceded by an ability word. When applying replacement effects to an event, self-replacement effects are applied before other replacement effects. 11:24 Again, technically, each step in casting a spell is separate, and must be done in a specific order. However, you can't "interrupt" casting of a spell because nobody gets priority in between. Rule 601.2 has an extremely list of steps in casting a spell. (For extra fun: you can cast a spell while casting a different spell. To do so, have a Chromatic Sphere and an active Archmage Ascension. Cast some random spell, like Opt. To get the mana for Opt, you crack Chromatic Sphere, which has a mana ability that draws a card. Archmage Ascension replaces that draw with a library search. While searching, you cast Panglacial Wurm (which is a weird card). Once you've finished casting Panglacial Wurm (including paying for it), you can get back to finishing paying for your Opt.)

"Moving counters" is something that's Very obvious as to what it does, while being a completely incorrect definition. You don't move them, you just make new ones. Which can lead to all kinds of interactions that someone might not expect, for example, Skullbriar dying while you control an Ozolith doesn't take any counters off Skullbriar, it just adds them to the Ozolith.

Minor correction: A triggered ability with an intervening if clause does not trigger if the clause is not true when it would trigger, as well as fizzling if the clause is false on resolution.

Is this a wall bro tf

First strike is not a keyword it is an ability word. keywords are in italic like landfall and don't have a set effect

I realized... way too long after uploading... that the first Slide and Thumbnail used a different series title ( I had been workshopping a few and ended up changing the script one more time after "finishing" the slide deck )... I also decided I would take this as an opportunity to update the look and feel of the thumbnail. Let me know which you have any feedback... I posted the original on Twitter: twitter.com/sinbadev/status/1614324773131108352

Corrections and Omissions: As pointed out by TobyBW... Planeswalker's with 0 loyalty are sent from the battlefield to the graveyard as a "state-based action". Similar to when you sacrifice a permanent or if a creature reaches zero toughness. That said... I'm not sure if there are any effects/rules that CARE about permanents being "destroyed" specifically... mostly they care about them being sent from the battlefield to the graveyard etc... anybody know of any examples? I realized... way too long after uploading... that the first Slide used a different series title ( I had been workshopping a few and ended up changing the script one more time after "finishing" the slide deck ).

Related interesting keywords from un-sets are last strike and triple strike, which given the context of first strike, it it easy to deduce that these cards create a last combat damage step.

It's amazing just how long winded the rules become when you're being so definitive and exact, when to a layman, it's just "First strike creatures do damage first in combat." But they need Pages of text to clarify all the ways this can interact with triggers, how it alters phases, how it can alter when people can activate abilities or cast spells... It's like the difference between "Press A to jump" and the tons of lines of code required to make that happen.

0:44 “creatures… are destroyed along with any planeswalkers with 0 loyalty counters.” While the creatures are destroyed by the state-based action in 704.5g, planeswalkers are not destroyed, and are simply put into thier owner’s graveyard, 704.5i.

This is high quality content! Informative, well constructed, clear visuals. You clearly know what you're doing.

So like... You're absolutely positive that I can sac blocked creatures? Citation, pretty please? Also, if you're taking questions from the class. My boardstate: Pestilence, Sphere of Grace, Stuffy Doll+Soul Armor. Other Guy: idk, let's say Hexproof. I think this is the coolest thing I've found on my own. It's definitely my favorite. Very on-flavor of Orzhov, "Do as I say, not as I do".

Could you do an episode on split/mdfc/meld cards? Hanweir the writhing township is a good one

Just binged all the episodes so far, very fun stuff! Just nice and pleasant to watch. Thanks for making my afternoon!

I don't know why but I really like this series

This series is super cool and well made. I hope you keep making these.

Corrections & Omissions As pointed out by TobyBW: ➖ 4:55 I talk about activating an ability with a "tap" cost in response to an effect that would tap or remove a permanent from the battlefield and say that the effect of the ability would "go on the stack" before the other effect was resolved. While this is true for many effects, the slide at the time shows a Forest and a Relic of Legends which both have "Mana abilities" which don't interact with the stack. "Mana abilities", some "special actions" and some "state-based actions" happen "right away" from the perspective of the game state without going on to the stack... though there's still some ordering considerations based on active players and priority. That said, to be clear, using a mana ability (or any other "right away" effect) on a permanent in response to an effect on the stack that is targeting that permanent still works. ➖ 5:50 I say that "'Sacrificing' means to destroy a permanent you control." but in the strictest terms it is not. Sacrifice: To move a permanent you control to its owner’s graveyard. See rule 701.17, “Sacrifice.” Dies: A creature or planeswalker “dies” if it is put into a graveyard from the battlefield. See rule 700.4. Sacrificing a permanent means to move a permanent you control directly from the battlefield to its owner’s graveyard. A sacrificed creature (or planeswalker) still counts as having “died” in this situation because it was put into a graveyard from the battlefield but it does not count as being destroyed (which is important for a number of reasons, the examples mentioned were that indestructible permanents cannot be destroyed but they can be sacrificed, and that sacrificed permanents cannot be regenerated). ➖Tim Chirananthavat points out a number of issues with the way I describe how effects are resolved. In brief: the effects of a spell or ability are resolved from top to bottom, left to right and are discrete game actions. While you cannot ( generally ) interrupt the resolution, this is because no player is likely to receive priority until the end of resolution and not because the game actions happen simultaneously. Or at least I think so... check the original comment for additional detail and an example where it would matter.

Nice video! I saw the Forest episode a few months ago and thought it was a really good resource for new and old MTG players. Glad you're still going at it.

5:50 "'Sacrificing' means to destroy a permanent you control." While sacrificing and destroying have similar effects, sacrificing is not destroying. For example, you can (and can be forced to) sacrifice a permanent you control with indestructible. And a permanent that is sacrificed cannot be regenerated, as regenerating creates a replacement effect that replaces the next time it would be destroyed that turn.

4:55 "you're ability will go onto the stack first..." While it is true that you can respond to the removal or tapping of a card by activating a tap ability on it, in the case of Forest and Relic of Legends, the abilities in question are mana abilities, and therefore, will not go onto the stack. The effect of the ability, adding mana, *will* occur before the card is removed or tapped, but not using the stack.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I love this series!

Played cat oven in standard until they banned cat and the deck then became a pioneer deck. Its rakdos cat oven with mayhem devil and threaten effects like claim the firstborn. Why just kill their thing when you can take it, smack them with it, then kill it for value such as more food tokens or card draw

Happy new year!

If there's a card I'd like to see covered, it's probably one of my favourite cards of all time (from an abstract point of view, it kinda derails gameplay) - Eye of the Storm. So much fun follows from the fact that the copies are cast. Now I recognize that it may not be the best card to cover its mechanics, that is spell copying, unusual zone changes, and the storm counter, so I guess these are the mechanics I would put out there as the more serious suggestion. Maybe a more modern card, one that is allowed to copy permanent spells? And these are potentially weird things, so they might belong in episode 6 or even 7. If you want more comments, an easy way is to sprinkle a few mistakes into your video ;)

Well, you just got another subscriber. Good stuff! Looking forward to more! It may be too early in the series, but an explanation of each keyword could be a good video.

Errors, Corrections, Glaring Omissions: As pointed out by Jade Cat, Players can only cast sorcery spells when the stack is empty.

Yay, another one! It is an amazing achievement that Magic is a game that you can have an intuitive understanding of, while also having these complex and robust rules working in the background. Seeing all that exposed while going through an example card is quite fun. 3:28 Sorceries also require the stack to be empty.

Yeah! More! I will watch this first thing in the morning.
