Well, to be fair, I didn't see a single non-standard card in Arin's decks, and Dan was playing an iteration of historic mono white life gain, which is one of the best decks in that format.
Dan: "Okay Arin, I'm done wrecking your shit, I'll pick a different deck..." Me: Yes finally, make this a little more balanced Dan: "...and I'll do that, next time on Game Grumps!" Me: * disgruntled noises *
Ya like colors, huh? Might I suggest, Yugioh, the superior game?- Jokes aside, I would suggest Yugioh if all you care is colors. Or not, you do you, I can't tell you what to do. :D
What makes this absolutely hilarious is that Dan introduced magic to Arin. Arin went and basically studied, practiced, trained and came back to kick Dan's ass and was immediately smacked down granted it was a bit by luck but it's still hilarious.
As a new MTG player, can you tell me what moment this was? I'm also going to bump you so you rewatch this video thereby making the algorithm suggest this video to more people so as to suggest to the Grumps that they should play more Arena. Thank you ;)
Episode 1: Dan keeps challenging Sparky by mistake Episode 69: Dan wins a community-run Gladiator event off the back of a turn 5 Alseid of Life's Bounty
Weenie decks often use protection to penetrate the opponents defenses, but in this case Danny didnt need it to come out on top. He just kept smashing away until he achieved victory.
Incase Dan and Arin didn't know, dan could've used the protection from X color on his large creatures before attacking to prevent Arin from being able to block at all.
Also, protection is one of the most confusing abilities for casual players because it does so much and it's hard to remember. Easy way I remember, is the word DEBT. A creature with protection cannot be: Damaged Enchanted Blocked Targeted
@@sasir2013 Basically, Arin was using cards from a format that only allows cards that were released in the past two years, while Dan was using cards from a format that allows cards from the past three years. Because there are more cards to work with in historic, Dan's deck was naturally more powerful.
"I'm a Spike!" Not sure if it fits his deck style, but I'm vividly reminded of Dan playing Getting Over It, going "This is so _immediately_ infuriating."
I heard them talk about Arin loving magic cards but it just occured to me to see if they had a vid about it cuz i didnt think danny played. Hope they do more, this seems to have gotten a decent like/dislike ratio
Nah, I played it when it first came out, and they banned it in every school. We got like 3 good weeks and then it was outlawed everywhere for being satanic. I wish I was kidding, and still had my black lotuses.
I'm literally sitting on the floor with my cards scattered around me trying to build 5 rookie decks to teach my friend how to play magic. Im so glad their playing Arena again
@@mikehab7453 lifegain decks are rarely the kind of strong decks spikes play. In particular in the current magic scene, lifegain decks are kind of weak
@@mikehab7453 A Spike is someone who plays to win, likes to ply with only the strongest cards, and is very competitive in the game. Mono white life gain may be fun, but it is absolutely not a very strong deck. Mono White life gain is probably the opposite of a spike, which fits into the Timmy description, someone who plays for fun, mainly with cards they like, regardless of their power level. There's also a third category, a Jimmy, who tends to stick to themed decks, a particular play style, or builds around off meta cards, in an attempt to make new things work.
Yes Dan, there are a lot of Magic: The Gathering fans out there to enjoy this! What could be more enjoyable than watching you stomp Arin? Your narration and his reactions are so wonderful.
First of all, they are in separate places so its hard to help him like that. They probably had a couple basic warm up games but even doing that there are things about arena that come with experience and knowing when to use certain counters and playing your field before resolving is difficult to articulate to each other. It also happens when you have a bar getting shorter right in front of you. I played alot of arena and most of that is just not being used to the way the game is presented.
@@sumbody694 Not to mention that Dan was using a deck he didn't build, so on top of new controls were new cards, so a few mistakes make plenty of sense
Me: And you have resources that you can use to cast creatures. You have unlimited amount of spaces, the best cards are not expensive, but what you know how to use, and you just need to know your deck. Yu-Gi-Oh players: I....uh....don't have that. I'll switch to MTG now.
@@fireblade295 Regarding the whole "knowing what you have and how to use it" thing instead of just playing huge stuff: that definitely *is* a thing in Yu-Gi-Oh as well, it's just a bit overlooked. I got into both around the same time, then dropped Yu-Gi-Oh to focus on Magic, learning different MTG strategies and generally how to recognize the utility of cards. Then I picked up Yu-Gi-Oh again a few years later and went "Hey, I can actually make a pretty good control deck with some of these cards! Oh, and a dredge deck, too!" and so on... I still prefer Magic (and Hearthstone takes my second place), but Yu-Gi-Oh definitely *does* have that kind of strategic element (Pokemon too, for that matter)...
It makes me so happy that the boys play this, I still get together with family whenever we have the time to get some MtG in. Vamps and Faeries for the win!
Arin: "We're playing versus" Me: Oh god, they used the wrong intro! WHAT ARE THE RULES?!? Dan: "Well, Magic doesn't matter. It's not like it's Monopoly" Oooh...
They've used the wrong intro multiple times in previous Game Grumps versus. Although they might plan on doing other stuff with this series than just versus, so maybe that's why.
@@thestrivinghero9536 It's hilarious because of how pompous the name sounds. And also because the card is super backbreaking against both decks Arin played. Dan having almost the same cards both matches was also hilarious.
This was an unexpected delight in my recommended! Ever since the Grumps played MTG in that pool and Dan talking about how he used to play, and Arin starting to get into it, there was a hope... Full fruition now! Great format to tell jokes on, plenty of time between card plays. I hope you guys do at least several more episodes of this! Also Arin, I absolutely adore the goofy for fun decks, you shine on! Maybe give Dan some crazy decks of his own, or better yet have him create his own! It can be so satisfying watching your crazy Rube Goldberg deck hit on that miracle combo, or even just laugh as all your zombies power each other up! Very happy right now :).
I haven't played mtg since 2013. But I was pretty hardcore, played in like 5-6 tourneys, collected all of scars of mirrodin, I have a fun bant roon EDH deck, and used to eat sleep and breathe mtg. So seeing dan and arin really get into mtg on the channel brings a smile to my face.
I feel like this might be a mistake so I'm gonna watch it now. Also Alseid of life's bounty = Big Zam and is that the Dorat from Godzilla vs King Ghidorah?
@@NeoEvincar So they didn't design Ikoria with Toho.

@@Firemac Well, he tried to do the interaction later on, but didn’t understand what resolve meant. He very clearly knew how to use Alseid correctly, even if he couldn’t figure out how to do it correctly on Arena. That means Arin might have gotten away with it, but Arin didn’t think he was going to, hence why he kept saying how much he hated Alseid

Ya like colors, huh?
Might I suggest, Yugioh, the superior game?-
Jokes aside, I would suggest Yugioh if all you care is colors. Or not, you do you, I can't tell you what to do. :D
Agreed, I just watch for the Grumps, don't play Magic.
Shadow Master 1147 I see you are also a a person of culture 😎
You should try it once magic is actually pretty fun I seen someone do an infinite amount of damage in one turn
@@misfitgaming2935 magic is a rich persons game when you enter standard. Useless starter decks as well.
So after one episode the score stands at:
Dan: 2
Shuffle Master: 0
Edit: Sparky: 2
I can't remember is sparky the AI thing they put in? Lol
Dan also won the poolparty mtg match as well hahahaha
Sean Harp yes it is,
Spoiler alert
"I'm going to cast... Alseid of Life's Bounty" has the same energy as "I floop the pig."
I do not play such games... With dan
"I'll pick uhhhh Big Zam"
So delighted to see an Adventure Time reference here. God I miss that show
Alseid of Life’s Bounty to Arin: “look at me. LOOK AT ME. I am the Shufflemaster now.”
Look at me :D
whoever iFailed is, he's hilarious and his deck building skills are amazing.
Looks like a fairly standard lifegain deck to me. The most unique inclusion is Lyra, but even that used to be common in white decks back in the day.
Man, I wonder what card Dan will play next? Could it be Alseid of life's bounty? Who could say.
Oh my god! He brought out Lyra Dawnbringer instead of Alseid! How unexpected!
"The Angel of Vitality!"
*Angry noises from Arin*
Ashuraman this was exactly my first thought!
Big, Big Zam energy
As someone who has no idea what is goin on in this card game,
My analysis:
The little dragon off to the side, flopping his feet around is so cute! 🥰
This is correct, at any rate!
Yes!! And the little fire cat??? In love.
If you want a cute card should look up Harmless offering
@WeaponXYZ As long as you don’t look really closely at it
Arin's over here just slowly losing his mind as Dan gets more and more powerful.
Dan should name his first child Alseid of Life's Bounty
Maybe just Alseid--
Dan: "You are a third rate duelist with a forth rate deck."
Using this as an insult IRL is still one of my favorite insults
@@literallymatty4083 its not even bad- thats the funny part
Fellow shuffle master fans “the prophesy is true”
We heard about it so long ago
YES
The prophecy of Dan ass blasting Arin 1000 times over in magic

What makes this absolutely hilarious is that Dan introduced magic to Arin. Arin went and basically studied, practiced, trained and came back to kick Dan's ass and was immediately smacked down granted it was a bit by luck but it's still hilarious.

Gotta say I'm a big fan of your work
Nice drawings
i wanted to like your comment, but it's at 69 currently... sacrifices must be made.
**Dan accidentally starts a game with the AI**
Arin: WoW, iFaIlEd HaS a LoT oF fRiEnDs.

Episode 69: Dan wins a community-run Gladiator event off the back of a turn 5 Alseid of Life's Bounty
I would cry with joy
The prophecy
First rule of fighting white decks in Arena, when you see Ajani's Pridemate, you kill Ajani's Pridemate.
Brian won’t be an issue after rotation though... my 2020 white deck is going on the shelf
Basically bolt the bird, but zap the cat
I was screaming at the screen when Arin summoned a creature instead of taking it out.
Arin: You could just, I dunno, not attack and that'd be awesome
Dan: Oh yeah! (proceed to overkill)
Is it any wonder that Danny Sexbang doesn’t understand how “protection” works?
Weenie decks often use protection to penetrate the opponents defenses, but in this case Danny didnt need it to come out on top. He just kept smashing away until he achieved victory.
Incase Dan and Arin didn't know, dan could've used the protection from X color on his large creatures before attacking to prevent Arin from being able to block at all.
It was a bit of a tossup for me.
He could, but he also didn't need to spend that resource with the current board state.
Also, protection is one of the most confusing abilities for casual players because it does so much and it's hard to remember.
Easy way I remember, is the word DEBT. A creature with protection cannot be:
Damaged
Enchanted
Blocked
Targeted
That's why Arin wanted him to use all his mana. Dan also knew he could do that but didn't know he had to do it before clicking resolve.
I was praying Dan would figure this out, not that it mattered in the end 😗
I've seen pro players completely miss that feature of protection before, so honestly, it's fine.
I like how Arin seems totally unaware he’s playing standard decks against a historic deck.
what does that mean?
@@sasir2013 Basically, Arin was using cards from a format that only allows cards that were released in the past two years, while Dan was using cards from a format that allows cards from the past three years.

He definitely knows, he mentioned something about it towards the end of the first game. Maybe he just didn't want to derail the video.
Arin's gonna be seeing Alseid of Life's Bounty in his nightmares for weeks.
No life........ grunts ............. bounty
Dan: *makes literally any play*
Arin: WOoOoOow, I HATE that.
Gotta keep the new player engaged somehow
11:31 Arin: "That was one of my for giggles deck."
Ah yes, a classic excuse that TCG players make when they lose a game.
Then proceed to get stomped again. Guess it wasn't the deck.
@@Ayoul Well in some senses it was the deck, but not necessarily that Arin's decks were bad, but that IFailed's deck was insanely good

absolutely
It's not really beginners luck though is it? The dude used to play for years and years
@@moast6943 did he? I see he picked up on mechanics quickly, but still seems noobish compared to the ShuffleMaster.
Ricky the Mongoose yeah, he said he played mtg when it first came out

Now we need a dnd campaign with Dan being the DM
I am 10000% behind this idea.
I am so much more than 1000% behind this it isn't even remotely funny
Shit yes! Sign me up! Maybe he'd like to run an all beast race campaign... just a thought :D
Ross would be the rogue that fucks over his own party and derails Dan's entire quest line.
It's always a pleasure to watch Arin play Magic: The Gathering. If you all haven't, try watching Arin's appearances on Tolarian Community College!
3:34 I’m getting Big Zam vibes
"I'm a Spike!"
Not sure if it fits his deck style, but I'm vividly reminded of Dan playing Getting Over It, going "This is so _immediately_ infuriating."

He is the bait master boy, the boy who masters baits.

7:46 sounds like Arin is casting The Making of Excuses on this turn
Me, who knows absolutely nothing about Magic the Gathering: Oooo what a burn, he used Angel of Vitality
Dan: Plays literally any card
Arin: Oh GOOD GREAT, OF COURSE, THAT card
To his defense... Everyone hates Alseid and Pridemates... Even when you play them yourself you hate their pure existence!

"Mirrormade comes in as a copy of any enchantment on the battlefield... hey, you know what's an Enchantment?

This is now my favorite series. Game Grumps playing Magic, doesn't get much better than that.
Oh god, this is going to get me obsessed with MGTA again, isn't it
So happy to see you guys playing this again, I just got back into Magic after playing in high school and I play EDH now
For someone so enthusiastic about magic there were a LOOOT of misplays xD
Yeah it was painful
So glad you guys are doing this! This is super fun to watch!
i thought I was the only one to do figure 8s with the cursor while being impatient
i would love an ongoing series of MTG from you guys. dont be shy keep doing it!
I saw that Arin, not killing that pridemate when you had a lava coil in hand.
or not killing the first angel of vitality with gargos..
It wasn’t him being nice. Dan could just sacrifice one of his Alseids to give the Pridemate protection from red
@@thejarjarexp2147 Dan was clearly very lost the entire match. I'd be surprised if he even saw that interaction.
@@Firemac Well, he tried to do the interaction later on, but didn’t understand what resolve meant. He very clearly knew how to use Alseid correctly, even if he couldn’t figure out how to do it correctly on Arena. That means Arin might have gotten away with it, but Arin didn’t think he was going to, hence why he kept saying how much he hated Alseid
I don't know about everyone else but I love it when you guys play Magic the Gathering and would love to see more
