- The creative process isn't easy, and doing it for a living is even harder. In this episode, we explore the lives of two popular Magic content creators: Paul Cheon and Brian "The Professor" Lewis. One's a gold-level pro, the other got famous describing card sleeves. Despite the fear of failure, they've overcome obstacles to become full-time work-from-home fathers doing what they love. They do it to help someone qualify for a Pro Tour, or save a kid a few bucks. Most of all, they do it to make our day a little lighter.
"he calls him self the professor"? no no... HE IS THE PROFESSOR
yes
No, peon.
He's the INSTRUCTOR
I really like that the Professor wears a suit at home, and plays with his kid in it. It just kind of fits him and is hilariously adorable.
who else is happy to see The "Brian Lewis" Professor in this video?
Wasnt it Ryan ??
His name isn't just the professor
The Professor is the best thing the community has.
Good on Wizards putting some spotlight on community content creators. They really are kind of the pulse of the Magic community and some extra recognition from the guys up top is a big deal.
It really is great to see and something for smaller creators to strive towards! The professor will always be an inspiration to mtg content creators. He's helped me a lot. I'd love to see more videos like this, or more recognition in other ways as there are loads of amazing creators out there.
But they dont mention Alpha Investments
The Professor has a real name?
Nic1700 Same, I always thought his first name was "The" and last name "Professor".
The "Brian lewis" Professor
Is his name not: The Professor, herald of Nicol Bolas
I refuse to believe it, his first name is The and his last name is Professor
I mean. Brian Lewis sounds like a John Smith sorta name. Clearly it's just an alias The Professor uses when he has to.
who's here because of the professor ?
a lot
one here =)
I came here before The Prof made it cool. * activating my hipster Nahiri mode * :)
it's because of the Professor doing his deck box reviews that I found Aaron Cain, and was able to get a gorgeous box that will last for years, is a constant source of conversation at the card store, and exposes more people to high quality items for Magic. Satin towers are fine, but nothing compares to the hand made wooden Aaron Cain box.

Enter the Battlefield is hands down the most important piece of production that Wizards has produced for Magic in the past 15 years. Congratulations and many thanks to the developers, producers, creators, etc. of this show because this... This right here is what the best CCG/hobby needs as it's promotion platform. I am happy to say I've shared this video and others of Enter the Battlefield to many of my friends and family. Keep up this type of fantastic work and Magic has a bright future because of the notoriety this brings to creators like Paul and the Professor.
Thank you professor! We love you. Thank you for taking the risks to do what you do for us.
Just to see Wizards making a video like this speaks dividends about this wonderful community. And yes the prof sent me xD
this is exactly the type of content that needs to on between cuts of the pro tour. We need more community made content, not just a boring splash screen and sleepy time music.
Really loved watching this - inspiration for all the smaller MTG content creators, like myself, that you can grow and help people! Such a great video and two really great creators on show. Thank you for making this!
Congratulations on getting featured boyo!
I did? Will have to investigate this further!
You were in the professor's most recent video.
Amazing stuff - watching this now - thanks for letting me know! Today has been a great day now!
Life Begins At 20 lkk
Dearest WotC, MORE OF THIS. I came crashing back to Magic because of some of these content creators. Bring them in more on Pro Tours, give us more Friday Nights! This is the stuff that helps keep the community alive outside of the cardboard you print
ROFL, LSV with Cheon shirt, what an ultimate troll
I know right? I only noticed that watching this video on youtube, missed it when I watched it on twitch. LSV is pretty damn awesome :)
"Liked" because of LSV's Cheontaur shirt.
Who in the name of Avacyn gave this video a dislike?!
How fortunate are we to have Two content creators like Prof and Cheon. You don't quite understand stand the weight of what they do until you see where they came from in their uphill battle. The Mtg community is definitely one of sacrifice and support , the women behind both men especially were quintessential in inspiring them to invest the time to take them where they are now. Taking the plunge to make this informative content like Cheon's and Prof's with the smallest seed of support is what makes me Respect and love this community the most. The game will always have promise as long as we keep conversations like this going with the desire improve each other, and these two men have certainly made profound statements about Pro play, game direction, affordability, creator collaboration and more. My hope is that Wizards continues to spot light more people in this growing world of magic if it's going to stay the force we are enamored with. The company makes a truely painstaking and well made design for the most part, but will need insight of Cheon, The Prof and more creators such as Wedge, Kevin, Dev, Rudy, Seth, The Magic Mics to give them the full perspective of what they get right and call them on their stumbles. The more Wizards have their ears to the ground and actually listen, the better everyone will be. Maybe taking a step in endorsing some of these creators in a such a way to help them fill in the blanks they miss. The wealth of creative people are there and keep this game flourishing, I plead wizards supports the foundation they have at their feet and truely tap into it.
More of this...I say again...*MORE OF THIS*. Thank you.
Loved this video! I also liked how it highlighted the role supportive loved ones can have in helping encourage someone to go for their dreams.
My partner has been amazing for me, giving me time to edit the videos on days off, sharing a booster box with me on camera more recently and appreciates how much work goes into everything. It was really nice to see on here too!
I had the pleasure of meeting the professor at gp San Antonio and he was just the nicest guy ever. He even let me record him do a sleeve stress test on one of my sleeves! Idk if he'll ever see this comment but thanks for all you do Professor Brian!
Please interview Richard and Seth from Mtggoldfish next. They're both outstanding guys and I love their content. Commander Clash, Against the Odds, Brewer Minutes, Live Streams all very entertaining and well done.
Loved it!! Seeing the professor's channel evolve over the years has been an absolute pleasure, and Paul is always a blast to watch on Twitch. Great episode :D
4:34 that John Green quote on the wall...
Wow. These types of videos remind me of why I keep playing magic. It is the people that I get to know and the community that we all have. I love meeting someone who as soon as they say they play magic, I immediately feel I have a bond with them. There is no other game that brings people together like that.
Paul and the Professor, my 2 favs.
Paul?
Paul?
Paul?
Paul?
Draft?
Paul?
I love these. I want very much to start creating. This is a great reason to dig in and fail at it until it works.
Go for it! I originally started making content to get better at using after effects for my job. 7 or so months later I've nearly broken 1k subs and enjoying every minute of it! Getting to know loads of new people and fellow creators has been immense and the professor has been a great helping hand for myself.
I've been recording videos and yup it is very much a process of failing over and over and over again, lol. I still don't have a video I'm comfy with uploading to YT yet :) Good luck with it!
I personally wouldn't be frightened putting a video up - everyone's first video was always a little awkward (even the big channels!) - but the people that watch, thumbs up and comment really do help to give yourself more confidence. Uploading that first pack opening was the best decision I've made.
Many Pokemon trainers ask the question: WTF IS MTG?
Lisa Cheon is a Saint #Utamog
The professor is the best soft boy
what no homeless Rudy?? #floppytaco
Kyle Anderson wizards want to show succesful and happy creators. if they showed a hosetown permanent resident it would be a bad thing for them
I love that the professor has become such a cornerstone of our community. I am proud that we have nominated someone so genuine.
Paul Cheon is really my hero, he manages to juggle high level Magic play with having a wife and children, to see his whole family Gel together like that is truly amazing.
Awesome GREAT content. Thanks for posting this. Thumbs up!
Please continue to make this type of content. It shows so much the community that there are people behind this game. The love, the care, and honestly how much we are people. Please continue.
I have always been a fan of both Paul and the professor but this video gave me a new love for them
Wonderful wonderful video!!! We the magic community owe a huge thank you to the content creators!!! Thank you
cheon doesnt mention his wife too much... SHE'S FUCKING AWESOME! and beautiful, good job cheon!
Two of my absolute favorite content creators. Honestly if I had a game store I would have a section specifically for the product that the professor rated highest.
The normal name of the Professor is just a cover as to not promote the College right?... RIGHT?!?!
4:35 Well 5 years later and his youtube channel subs have tripled. He also had a kickstarter that had reached $4m
Awesome episode of EtB! More of this please!
"Enter the Battlefield: Creators" is not complete without SaffronOlive from MTGGOLDFISH
Wizards listen to prof's suggestion. Riot games does it and you could say they've been just a little successful.
Gotta love the professor
Tolarian speaks in a way which makes me always so confortable I can't help feeling he is definitly a good and trustworthy person.
when you focus on what the professor did you tosss away all the people who posted his video at first you toss away why you are there i think this documentary is disgraceful you are nobody without US your ARE NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"To see the person you love dreams come true". - A very beautiful statement.
This is hands down the best video to date. Thanks Wizards and the content creators as well!
I love the proff, but I think Nathan Holt is the best magic content creator
Ok, this is nice. THE PROFESSOR HAS A FIRST NAME??? AND IT IS BRIAN??? In my head he was always just... the professor...
what is this??!??! 100 dollar donation!?!?!?! Really wizards? Did you have to make him say that.....
Some of my absolute favourite content creators. I've been watching the professor for YEARS!!! (Like before we knew what he looked like... Back when he had only 2 or 3 videos actually! Lol) and Paul is one of the few people who can make me watch the absolute Shitshow that is Standard. Which is really impressive... Probably the most impressive...
Finally, i know The Proffessor's real name. Thanks Magic: The Gathering Channel..
Ok Wizards, so you know Prof exists, SO SEND HIM STUFF TO REVIEW!!!!
THE PROFESSOR'S NAME IS BRIAN????
I seriously had no idea what his name was, and I've been watching him for a few years now...
4:53 and I dab
where is rudy
the Prof in a WOTC video... see? they don't hate him. Come on Wizards... dip back into this love from the past.
Where's LRR?
The fact that LSV made the Paul Cheon horse picture into a shirt is the greatest thing ever. Even better than Iguanas.
Also, this is a little out of date now, isn't it? If I remember correctly, Paul Cheon is now a member of Play Design, right? So I wonder if he'll still be as much of a content creator now.
I always thought the professor was a Kobold...
Ha, finding a significant other who would support me in my gaming hobbies?! They exist?! Where can I find such a unicorn?
I just realized I never knew The Professor had a real name....Brian...B..R..I..A..N....Hmmmm.....
Also, super cool to get to meat their families and see how they have taken the whole thing, and also to get their experience of the whole thing. Definitely appreciate this video. Awesome work!
Darby Burbidge it's meet not meat, buddy. You eat meat. You meet your heroes.
Its weird when I first started doing UA-cam I thought wouldn't it be great to get discovered and rocket up with subs etc. but then I suddenly realised I was dreading doing videos because I wasn't getting feedback in the way of subs and views and likes but since giving up caring about the figures my channel has actually steadily growing and now I am beginning to get invited to content creators tournaments on MTGO and even doing more and more collaborations and I genuinely enjoy creating my videos each week!Its also great to see ETB focus on showing some of the smaller creators and I think it would be amazing for WotC to start doing the same with either picking up on the #FridayMtG some of us smaller content creators have started or by asking us to do streamer showdowns etc.
omg Prof is a nerdfighter! DFTBA!
I have not left the game only because of these two. Mad props to them!
This is absolutely the type of content that needs to fill downtime in the coverage feed! MOAR!!!
Professor with the portable SupaBoy to play SNES games; Nice.
Bit of an OT question. What is Pauls Keyboard? Never seen it before, just curious.
The Prof can always cosplay as Mac DeMarco's dad, because damn do they look similar in younger years and a t-shirt.
Tolarian Community College in particular is keeping me invested and interested in this game. They are doing all the legwork as if they are paid advertising. So kudos to them for recognizing these content creators.
Strange that the professor is on here. I mean it makes sense since hes one of the big ones, but... isnt there some sort of a rivalry going on here?
Edit: wait... seems his rivalry is with wotc... sorry. Thought this was a wotc channel. My mistake
Paul's yeti mic isn't oriented correctly... the mic captures sounds by the side and not from the top.
Cool to see you guys supporting UA-camrs that make magic based videos. You never see any other games doing that.
Really impressed with the video and the behind the scenes look at Paul Cheon and The Professor :) they seem sooooo down to earth in real life and hope to see more from both of you :D congratz on an amazing video!
This was a really nice video. Maybe one day the prof will be supporting your channel and going behind the scenes ;)
More stuff from thees guys should be included without a doubt in pro tour coverage. (Y)
great to see these youtubers recognized for their excellent content!
These guys are both awesome content creators. I would love to meet both of these guys at an event some day. Thanks for the vids, guys!
BRIAN LEWIS? THIS IS MADNESS,he's The Professor
Good to see the Professor receiving recognition from Wizards. Now let's see if they take his advice on some matters.
Very much happy to see the professor in the video! His videos has helped me on the way to my own greatness!!!!
I deeply respect people who do cosplay cuz 4 this u just show your passon and you must have courage to do this 😍😍😎
The Prof is simply the best thing in Magic's community.
LSV is wearing the infamous Cheontar shirt, nice trolling there.
wizards needs to support the content creators more. all they do is support them......
the professor would be a very nice addition on the wotc commentary team. it will be great and entertaining! i hope they hire him
Hey Paul, your microphone isn't set up properly...
The Professor is the best, it was nice to see another part of his life. Wizards please support the creators.
I liked the video even before I watched it and god bless both these guys.
This video inspired me to grow my mtg channel thanks
someone tell paul that his mic should not be facing down towards his desk
Great content Keep up doing it WoTC
ERMAHGAD !!!!!!!!!!!!
Prof Junior is in this one !!!!!!!
Soooo kewt !!!!!!
I love the professor I should check out that other guy lol. I will for sure. I trust the prof
Two great creators that truly deserve the following they have and then some
Hello im new to magic, I would like to go to their channels what are the links?
How is he able to play MTG online ? Great video
Any help finding the song that starts at 3:08?
