not only that they use names of abilities I do not know and do not explain them. For instance, I did not know cycle at first. They could say cycle for 1which means draws a card or something like that. Not every time but throughout the show sporadically. As a player who knows how to play causually for many years I dont know all the rules.
Yep, this would be much more entertaining for the masses if you could see the cards, and commentary that explains them. They need to have multiple cameras, with zoomed in views on specific cards, or have pre-loaded card information to put on the screen. Either way, this could be improved a lot, and I hope they do this yr.
I feel bad that you can’t read man, don’t let it get to you. It’s ok, it doesn’t change who you are inside. Just keep having fun with mtg online text to speech, it’s pretty much the same experience and you can meet new friends and have fun!
It’s funny reading comments from newer players disparaging control decks. At the time this match was played, the Temur deck was absolutely dominant and no one was playing UB control. This was seen as an exciting outsider deck taking down the oppressive deck that everyone hated.
if you dont want spoliers dont look at the comment section about the video your watching, thats like reading the reviws of a movie and being supprised they "spoiled" the movie @@skurbadurba
This is riveting! The way he played the card vertical alley and then turned it clockwise, amazing. And then the piece de resistance, he turned it back upright egg gain! Wowza
If you don't know what to comment and decide to talk about hats, you can't lose by simply explaining the cards being used and played. Not ever MTG player knows all the cards enough to understand the play by plays. Always comment the game, everyone wants to understand every detail of the games.
I dont pkay mtg but ygo and normally people who watch the finals shoukd know the meta and thus should know all cards already right? I mean neither in yugioh or pokemin do they explain what cards do because its the responsibility of the players and watchers
@@幽霊船-o4h in pokemon tournaments they show the card zoomed in on screen so you can see what it can do. As someone just getting into mtg I have no clue what the cards being played do.
Well. My inner weebs tells me the reason they keep shuffling their cards on their turns is so they can think of their strategy??? But then again im not a super nerd to know it.
How can you tell without seeing his face? I personally can’t tell if someone is smart just by looking at their hands, but good suggestion I’ll try to learn how!
This could really benefit from being prerecorded and edited rather than being basically live, it would make it much more understandable to most viewers
Wow! Marshall, I watch you watch repair videos! Immediately recognized your voice. Just recently got back into magic back from the OG days when it first came out.
I have no idea what are they doing. My younger brother loves playing this card game with his friends. So, I'm trying to find out what's made this card game very interesting.
I’m building and modding my first deck (black deck incase anyone’s curious, started as a black green that my brother gave me) and I’m scared as hell to go to a Friday night magic. I can’t imagine having the guts to play in nationals!!!
If there were better camera angles and the announcers explained things in a way that people besides the homies at my local game store would understand this would be enjoyable to watch
I came from manga called Subete no jinsei wo hakai suru. But i dont have a single idea about this game at all, but the romance from the manga is very beautiful
You shouldn't be too worried. These guys are pros. While you will be needing to keep a good pace during play, its definitely not this fast. Start out at FNM's, very casual
Decided to watch a match after the “how to play” video, to better understand about MTG. Man, was I wrong! Not very sure if I’m interested about it any more.
Before Covid there some Asian nerds that came in and played at a local Yoshinoya near me and they would be there for hours playing this, looked very cool not gonna lie and I know of MtG but never got into it myself.
Bro this is a nationals tourney, the audience is expected to know a bit abt magic enough to not have to comment every single card played and it’s effect
If we get to see the cards it could have been better. They should play it more like an anime. This is probably the first I missed the description based battle cries after each move. I don't know. I guess I'm just some taking your time to enjoy instead of rushing things kind of guy.
I agree, commentators are having their own conversation that I don't care about I wanna know what cards they're playing and how they're doing it much rather over the shoulder play with mics on players. I don't know why they thought magic needs commentators when the players say everything they're doing.
So did anyone else notice that after he resolve the Essence Extraction off of the second Torrential Gearhulk, it just magically reappeared in his graveyard and not in exile with the other spell cast off of the first Torrential Gearhulk......he knows what he's doing, but was what he did right or do judges pick and choose who they penalize for wrong card zone infractions. I would not say anything if he hadn't drawn into another Gearhulk, which makes the misplay advantageous in his favor.
At 14:50 energy player makes a thopther and goes from 5 energy to 5 energy if I'm not wrong... And normally judges don't say anything if the opponent don't say it... I'm not sure where the line between misplayed rules and cheating is but if the judges think it's cheating the correct the game state and normally give a penalty for the cheater
@@lurro9963 Nope, Gerry's play was fully legal. What happened was Gerry casted and resolved a Whirler Virtuoso, then Oliver responded to the Whirler Virtuoso ETB trigger by killing it. Gerry responded to the kill spell by making a thopter with 3 of his 5 energy, bringing him down to 2 energy. The kill spell then resolved, and then the Whirler Virtuoso ETB trigger resolved, bringing Gerry from 2 energy back up to 5 energy.
they need to change the way they film it, because not everybody know all the cards and we can't see anything here

Yea, I like magic and I even started to play started again in dominaria and I don't even know all the cards by name.
I totally agree so annoying because I don’t know all the cards
All they need to do is give a blown up view of each card when they come up...
I wish I could read the cards! these videos of this tournament aren't very inviting to people who are casual magic players
Yah
I know like I’ve got a blue and black deck where you can change the entire game with certain cards but I can’t see if he’s used them or not 😕

Need to put a small readable pic of the card they play
I watched some older finals and they had portion of the screen to show cards..
They play them so fast their would need to be an epilepsy warning. Lol imagine UNO
@@worthrain2731 Like in poker tournaments.
Large
their card movements are so satisfying to watch
I'm impressed by someone so young playing so politely
17:54 I love the blue black player set down his hand then immediately picked it back up when his opponent tapped 5 mana
This is riveting! The way he played the card vertical alley and then turned it clockwise, amazing. And then the piece de resistance, he turned it back upright egg gain! Wowza
Dont forget the constant, exhilarating shuffling of the cards in their hands!! Just waow
i understand magic the gathering and thats still all this was to me, these guys are on another level
Im a new player in mtg and boi are tournaments not for me😂😂😂
just play with friends until u are ready

You'll Get MASSACRE
Mate me ass is still sore
I’m ten and they have a magic of the gathering league at the library and I am going to join.

I know absolutely nothing about this game. Why I'am here?
The magic gathered you here haha lol
you should try it. its a fun game
Teamsamsung sams here nerd
I'm simply mesmerized by the way they move the cards around. It's very satisfying.
Cuz u play hearthstone
The kid Oliver is pretty good. Watching him play with board etiquette is really nice to see in the younger generations.
Dewd is that kid evn old enuff 2 play in a tournament?
Dewd, kan u spel wurdz kerektlee?
That pause after uncle sam top hat followed up with a conquistador helmet was brutal
Wow turn play is waaaaaay faster than yugioh that usually takes miiinutes to complete. I liked that
Watching this in the future. Man, I miss live, paper magic
I just like watching how smooth and fast there are with those cards. Its strangely pleasing to watch even though im a total newbie at the game.
And what about now a year later?
@KandiKlover getting better but still not anywhere familiar with the game as these guys. I've found I like the Wilds of Eldraine set the best so far.
"I WON!" He thinks to himself. Let me celebrate by... blinking.
Anthony Hopkins son
Them shuffling their hands constantly is driving me insane.
Most players do that. Not sure why
Especially that Oliver guy, so annoying.
tbh I do it when I'm nervous, its like a tapping your foot
Well. My inner weebs tells me the reason they keep shuffling their cards on their turns is so they can think of their strategy??? But then again im not a super nerd to know it.
It's to prevent their opponent from knowing if they're playing the card the are drawing
The way they tap cards is super dope
jofree seems smarter than last time i saw him
i was thinking he looked like jofree to
I KNOW, RIGHT!?

Careful guys, Oliver Tomajko used to be a world champion in yugioh
Now he's aiming for MTG
Talk about skills, I haven't even went to an actual competitive event and this guy is mastering two card games with different rules and plays
Yeah, he played in the World Championship, but he didn't won, thought to be fair he was 14.
@@jonkeuviuhc1641 i got 3rd tho
why not 1080p atleast? I want to be able to read the cards :(
why the fuck am I here after watching old pokemon card unboxing videos what a fucking rabbit hole
Tomajko's shuffling is extremely stylish
Seems to be a pretty well put together bro

Wow! Marshall, I watch you watch repair videos! Immediately recognized your voice. Just recently got back into magic back from the OG days when it first came out.
ohh yeahhh GOOOO black card... and..... the other one... umh i dont even play thisss
I am so ready for energy and vehicles to leave standard.
It'll be a while still.
Me too, bored of seeing that energy card put down at the start of play.
I'm ambivalent about vehicles, but I still like energy.
Every magic player every standard rotation:
"I am so ready for "x" and "y" to leave standard."
Standard has sucked for almost all 2017
"I knew my dci number before I knew my social security number"
Its funny, I also had my dci number memorized before my social security number lol.
I haven't memorized either 😂
Well, thats how it should be :P
@Brandon Deveines you had one of those first ones like #120 ? XD one my friend has really low number :P
I'd be tempted to yell out "Go Fish!"
Uno I win
BL haha
BL same
A newcomer to any card game is very unlikely to make it as far as either of them. The fact that they made it that far speaks for itself.
My husband has a lot of magic cards collection 😭he used to play this games 💔I missed him! I wish he’s still
Around ..
Wow I should not watch this in the morning, the announcer is putting me back to sleep.
UziFoo same 😆
I WANT TO LEARN THIS GAME SOME DAY ...
3 years later and I still know exactly what these cards do...
same
man i wish i knew what was going on. Magic is neat
It's 4:23am, and I have no idea what I'm watching, but I'm enjoying it
God I love control decks so much, they fit with my personality well
maybe its not a good idea to say that ever again.....
I only just starting playing magic and i take so long. these boys are like rockets dealing them cards
No idea whats going on but I'm fascinated ^^
Idk anything about this game, and I watch the entire video
The way they play is so satisfying
I have no idea what are they doing. My younger brother loves playing this card game with his friends. So, I'm trying to find out what's made this card game very interesting.
It's a fairly simple game. It's fun
You guys should post whether the video is standard or modern for new people clicking your videos.
Slamin Salmon in the thumbnail
I realized before I clicked out of the video.
Thank you though
it's also in the license. "standard youtube license"
also look in the top right corner of the video it says it's standard
Oliver used to play yugioh didn't he
Yes
Yes then he went to the major leagues.
CHman712
Wht you mean ?
ya
I want there to be little cameras that focus on the cards so we can identify the card they're using.
That's its 5thousand dollars for USA national champ I'm sure these guys spent more than that in cards lol
Neither of those decks cost more than $300 and most pros get a lot of their cards/decks from team pools.
That's standard, not legacy/vintage
Everyone of these tourneys I went tooended up borrowing a box of cards from various people , not much purchasing needed
Sweet Jesus im no where on the same planet to play in a tournament these guys are pros
I have a lot of magic gathering cards but i dont know what is it then it brings me here
This isnt the best place to learn these are pro players
Same i bought a deck just because and till not only tried playince once or twice.
I'm still building a deck this is overwhelming
Nicely done Oliver.
I don't know anything about this but it seems very interesting.
Naa
Good ole paper magic tournaments gah I hope this returns one day :/
I’m building and modding my first deck (black deck incase anyone’s curious, started as a black green that my brother gave me) and I’m scared as hell to go to a Friday night magic. I can’t imagine having the guts to play in nationals!!!
How'd Friday night magic go? Any luck?
@@RBEmpathy Covid stopped any hope of that for a while! But I still play with my brother and some of his friends. I’m ass at it but it’s fun!
They PLAY SO FAST omg I have to read a freaking novel every turn what is happening
congratulations from 2020 here.hahah this is the real mtg
Any time I can watch Gerry Thompson lose it’s a good time.
Oliver played very well
No one I know plays this card game I just learned it last week and I’m trash but it’s really fun
glad to see you like it!
Oh nice what deck and colors you run?
David Franco-Johnson usually like black and red or black and blue
@@malia7192 ah my for me it's either white, white and blue or green and blue, or white and green

Watch jim davis arena streams, he's interesting and arena is more beginner friendly. I really miss GP coverage and I've been playing for years
I wouldn't expect this to be beginner-friendly, as it is a tournament match.
They are going really fast. It is hard to know what is happening.

Great content. Love the video.
Joffrey doppel vs a dude who wears a beanie indoors with a tee shirt, what a final
They need to hire the command zone film crew cause I cannot see anything.
Bro this is a nationals tourney, the audience is expected to know a bit abt magic enough to not have to comment every single card played and it’s effect
Well I play commander and i have never played standard but It looks fun.
I don’t know any of the game vocab but I can play it pretty well
ive played thousands of hours, the luck of the draw.
Weird nitpick
Why wouldnt they just call the deck dimir control since the other deck is being referred to as temur
I think it's largely that 'blue-black' is still fairly easy to say, while 'temur' is certainly shorter and simpler than 'red-green-blue.'
That shuffling tho
I’m coming from Pokémon and dbz/dbs tcg, this game is ridiculous fast 😂
i wish there were extremely cheap reprints of the cards from the 90s. i miss those
I like magic. Nice game reali shot monsters and poisens
What card protectors are the black ones ?
Magnum
Hello, I am net decker.
The nervous shuffling is driving me nuts lol.
what’s the cool thing that they are doing with their hands every once and a while? Asking because I am a new player and kind of want to learn how.
I dont watch alot of tournaments but Gerry is my hero! I have his invincible 12/12 giant token!
I know wthat this is 6 years old however the officiating and audio aka coverage was totally awesome
I don’t know what’s going on here…. So I’ll take your word for it
came from that one south park episode because i liked the commentary of something i dont understand
I wish I understood what was going on
