I've been meaning to get a playmat for quite some time now (months ago) and was def eyeing Inked Playmats based on your review of them before. I already had two wonderfully beautiful designs picked out and finally earlier this week I ordered one. I must say Professor you're hitting it out of the ballpark with your reviews and grades, that's 3 major products I've purchased from, based mostly on your word (the other two being Legion Binders and Dragon Shield sleeves). The playmat arrived, very ironically, while I was at home playing a game of Magic with my best friend and kindly excused myself while I "Blinged" out my side of the table xP! It was wonderfully printed, felt even better, almost smooth as silk, no curls from being rolled up and ultimately felt fantastic to place, turn and slide sleeves along. I can honestly say Professor that my gratitude and thankfulness is deeply extended by the fact that, many of these products would not be known to me if it were not for this channel!
Honestly I don't even play magic the gathering but I find your videos so enjoyable just because of how well-made and interesting they are, which is REALLY saying something considering I don't play the game at all but your videos have definitely spiked my interest
Oh god... when I saw that Flinxz double playmat at 09:01 I thought it was made to look like the professor. You know, a green shirt with a jacket, a red tie and the belt or pants at the bottom.
I'm a leather artisan, and I woder what did the Wyrmwood folk where thinking. They're masters of woodcraft, but certainly leather is not their forte. If you roll leather like that, it'll be hell to lay if down flat, as it happened with the one sent to the professor. As for the rugged look, that's a personal thing, and I love the rugged look (I favour for both personal stuff and merchandise vegtan leather for that reason, among other things) But aye, while it's nice to see them branching out and not just sticking to boxes, perhaps they should scrap this one project and look for something else.
So as a leather artisan, let me ask you, what would be the best process/style for someone wanting to make a leather playmat, knowing that playmats are likely to be rolled or folded up for frequent transport?
Out of the blue, I have no insight to give, but if someone really wanted to carry a leather playmat, I'd recommend ot to not roll it, and place it last inside the bag, resting on top of the binder and deck boxes one may be carrying. Another thing is that without proper care, the leather will suffer a lot. From what I've seen on your video, looks like dyed vegtan (chrome tanned leather looks more shiny), and if not hydrated regularly it'll become brittle. For that, the best I recommend is neatfoot's oil, but smells like if someone opened the gates to Hell, so second best is getting the cheapest hand lotion one can grab and apply it to the leather and let it rest overnight, then remove the unabsorbed excess with a paper towel. If the leather was finer (1mm thickness) and properly hydrated, it may lay flatter than the one you've got, but it's a hard leather to work with (they won't be able to emboss their brand, or many designs on it without risking damage to it during production). Then there's also price, 2 or 3mm thickness is the sweet spot for price on leather, if you go either thicker or thinner it becomes more and more expensive (the former for bulk, the later for quality), and 1 square meter of 1mm thick leather may cost almost twice as much as a 2mm square meter. Now, faux leather on the other hand, can be rolled without issues, looks like leather but behaves not much differently from a textile. I used a piece of faux leather as a playmat for a long time until some friends got me a custom printed one for a birthday present.
@@TolarianCommunityCollege I have on of these mats, bought around 1.5 yrs ago. I do not have this problem, and it is as nice to play on as it is good looking!
I remembered your first video of reviewing mats. It made me buy a two player mat from inked gaming and the custom art I put on it is a real looker. Thank you professor for your videos!
The product reviews are my absolute favorite thing about this channel! It's what brought me here in the first place, and it's what has got me to stay here. Keep up the great work professor!
I bought 3 of the Noah Bradley mats you reviewed a while ago. And I LOVE them! As do a lot of my playgroup, at least once every FNM or tournament i get very positive comments about them. Lots of ooh & aah's!
I have that exact Angelarium playmat (#16) and couldn't be happier. It's probably tied with a rk post rick & morty mat in terms of uniqueness and shock and awe factor around the LGS
Ya. I'm probably going to get a couple since we have little tournaments at all our BBQ's, and these would be great for the more kitchen table players that come, since it helps them keep their cards in the right spot. Since more casual players tend to put their stuff all over the place.
That playmat throws me off a lil as I'm righthanded, so I'd constantly have to use they side where they have a spot for your deck and Graveyard xP Not a big thing, but I'm surprised both sides weren't set in that fashion. For the Inked Double playmats, they had one of a Green Mana tree for one side and the flipped for the opposite side semi looked liked a dying one, making me think Green/Black (which happen to be my fav colors and combo).
You're in luck! Inked provides two player mats with both players having rightsided libraries and graveyards. www.inkedgaming.com/products/two-player-match-mat Just select "right handed zones" under the title tab. Still a tad more expensive, but since its my go-to kitchen table mat its worth it. Happy gaming!
I've had the leather one for a few years now and really like it. I wasn't thinking to impress, so maybe that's part of it. I got it because I know leather is durable, and food and grime wipe right off. Plus it looks old - which I like. I don't have to worry about it like I do with my fancy mats. For example right now it's rolled up, tossed on the coffee table next to an ashtray with ash spilled over onto it. Doesn't bother me a bit because I know it will clean right up. This mat will only get better looking as it's used, unlike any other I know off. I wish it were bigger, though, and am considering having a larger one made with a custom Lord of the Rings graphic. Have had no issues the with card slide thing, although it's not as slidy as the synthetic options. Every six months or so leather treatment has to be put on, so that's maintenance. My better looking matts are all stored in a box, never to be used. This leather one gets all the abuse.
Nice video, but I want to get a small detail clear: Hydrocarbons (which are chemical compunds consisting of the elements hydrogen and carbon) in general are not necessarily a problem concerning health. I assume you are talking about Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), a lot of those have been proven to be carcinogenic and PAH levels of toys for example have been an issue. You are excused from this minor mistake since you create great content and you are an English major. I hope you also forgive me for the linguistic flaws I might include in this comments, because I am an engineering major and English is not my native language :) Keep up the good work!
i agree on the wyrmwood mat, get it worked in and maybe lightly oiled and it should be premium stuff. maybe put 10 in a bag with some stones and have them tumble in the dryer will net you the mats you want.
Inked playmats operate near portland and me living in oregon city it took a day for me to get the playmat. It was so fresh you could smell the stuff they used for the coloring thing
I actually really like the look of that leather mat. Too bad it doesn't lie flat. Also you were right I have been looking for a two player mat for a while and I'm glad you found one.
I've had a ultimate guard Forrest play mat since rivals of ixilan was released and it's still in almost perfect condition (no thanks to my carelessness). Really nice quality
A really great suggestion to more creative players on a budget. Inked has blank playmats that are a few bucks cheaper than they're pre-designed or custom mats. I bought a slightly larger size and drew a design I liked in sharpie. with a little bit of time to dry and some weather proofing, like scotch guard, the colors stay really well.
Actually, I like the aesthetic of the wyrmwood mat. My only suggestion for improvement would be to allow customers to pick and choose what gets... embossed? into the center (with the wyrmwood logo in one of the top corners)
Final,y some manufacturer did a good stitched mat like The Force Of Will TCG ones, those matas have superb quality are stitched, and the art it's awesome (If you like anime style drawing)
I'm a German Yu-Gi-Oh! player and still enjoy your stuff, even when I'm not famiiliar to MTG ;) Your content is well produced! ;) I just wanted to tell you this :D
I think a mechanic that might be useful that could be in Kaladesh because Kaladesh is a techy plane and they might have lots of stuff with artifact decks is a mechanic called 'charge'. It would have a cost to turn an artifact or artifact creature face down for a mana cost, it would become a 1/1, or something like that, and at the beginning of each of your upkeeps, put a +1+1 counter on it. And at any time, for a mana cost you could turn it face up with the same amount of +1+1 counters.
Very fine review (as I have come to expect) Professor! Also, thank you for reviewing the Ultimate Guard playmats; I was eagerly waiting for a review before moving on to purchase one.
Professor, maybe try some leather conditioner on the Wormwood playmat? I do a lot of work with leather and the easiest way to break it in is Lexol leather conditioner. It will leave a residue until it dries, so be careful of that. That's the only bad thing about leather; if not taken care of, it will eventually dry out.
09:00 I thought this was a custom job made for The Professor for a moment. I saw a red tie, light green shirt, dark green blazer and an aqua-colored belt...
Wyrmwood uses 8oz leather, which is about 1/8" or about 3.3mm thick, which for $50 usd is a little steep (24x14"=2.3 square feet, so just under $25²). I mean leather is priced by the square foot, so a large flat piece does become costly fast. I'm not impressed that it's basically a banner on the table for their logo however. I work with leather a lot and I wouldn't suggest it for a playmat myself - it does take care and maintenance to keep it looking nice, with oil or other finishes needing application depending on use (which again, not a great idea as this is for use with cards). I would imagine it might be alright if you're not transporting it, and instead use it for a home game only situation, heavier leather always wants to "remember" the shape it's most often left in. The other issue is dirt - leather will get dirty, and sure that's a patina you expect from a worn in piece of leather, but not a playmat. But their site ONLY lists it as stone oiled buffalo, 8oz. It doesn't specify whether it's top grain, full grain or the suede (my guess is full grain?). This really impacts your ability on how and what you can effectively clean the surface with. And as the point is to provide a pristine surface for your cards, that can be washed as needed, well, I love leather but not for this. The gamer mat I do have my eye on however, his artwork is amazing.
I would love to see a best of both worlds, customizable mat with the natural rubber from UG, and the custom artworks and great stitching from gamer mats. Guess I'll have to wait for either of them to give us the option.
Where is the link? Sorry, just had to point out there was no link to his page even though you said there was in the vid, not trying to be rude just want artist support.
Hey prof. I actually enjoy mats with a bit of 'catch' on the surface to keep my cards from sliding around too much, could you do future reviews with this as a 'preference' rather then a downside?
+Tolarian Community College what happens when the wyrmwood mat comes in to contact with fluids (ie a carelessly spilt energy drink)? That's my only concern for it
Got the ultimate guard swamp version but it had a strange dented curve along the bottom of it. Knowing that we can machine wash these makes me less disheartened and am now thinking about that to remove said dent
I just went to Gamer Mats website and it is not a very well designed web page at all. i was looking to order one of the play mats with the stitched border because the one in your review looks amazing, but i cant seem to find out how to select any options at all for any of the play mats on the page.
The pinnacle of card game channels. Great, in-depth reviews!
but your a ygo channel.
mysticblaz e that's probably why this comment is on a playmat review since playmats are an essential for all different card games
a fellow fan of the Professor are ya Team APS

I now
I've been meaning to get a playmat for quite some time now (months ago) and was def eyeing Inked Playmats based on your review of them before. I already had two wonderfully beautiful designs picked out and finally earlier this week I ordered one. I must say Professor you're hitting it out of the ballpark with your reviews and grades, that's 3 major products I've purchased from, based mostly on your word (the other two being Legion Binders and Dragon Shield sleeves).

Is there a way to use a button/strip or some type of rigid component to have it lay flat?
deathpyre42
Not that I can device that's practical and portable.
How about four metal eyelets at the corners that have rigid metal rods that link up, to create 2 rigid metal supports at the bottom and top?
the Wyrmwood is cool, but for $50 you shouldnt have to work the leather yourself
Bingo.

Fell in LOVE with peter's artwork bought the limited edition angel of scorpio playmat and looking forward to getting it.
That 2 player mat is awesome! Reminds me a lot of the ole Magic Pro Tour tables.

These reviews help so much, especially for a new player like me! I just ordered an Aaron Cain deck box and I'm shopping around for mats now!
This video was really useful and because of this I made a purchase of one of the mats you reviewed.Thank you professor.

I would love to see an updated review of the gamermats custom jobs. I have ordered one and have not heard from them in 2 weeks!
cozmo918 how did you get in contact to order it? I uploaded a design and sent a message 4 days ago and never got a response on cost or anything.
Justin Schmidt update: I designed something but apparently it was copyrighted so they refunded my money back.

I'd like to think the Professor has a closet in his house where he stores all these playmats and deckboxes xD
You're tempting me to actually get around to buying one of those grogeous Mohrbacher mats...
Great video professor. Reviews are your bread and butter.
I've been looking for a new mat. ty for the vid!
thanks for doing what you do professor, and I have to say good job in the pre-prerelease I just finished watching it last night.
I knew when the music started at 5:19 he was gonna review an amazing product
I like the wear, it gives it that fantasy feel, what adventurer is gonna have gear in perfect condition ;)
09:00 I thought this was a custom job made for The Professor for a moment. I saw a red tie, light green shirt, dark green blazer and an aqua-colored belt...
Oh my, i love it The last playmat, AMAZING ! Thanks professor 👍🏼
I really like these videos, they are excellent buyer's guide, thanks a lot and keep going!
Another product review of The Professor? Insta-watch! Great videos.
I always enjoy your product reviews thank you for doing them
I laughed so hard while you were trying to unroll that leather mat, I woke up my neighbor.
I laughed too, I woke up my dog and siblings.
I like that 2-player mat, just may have to pick one up.
Nice video Professor, I like these mats. I'm currently using my Liliana of the Veil mat from Steve Argyle. It's pretty nice
I wish you would do Yu-Gi-Oh videos too. The community definitely needs somebody as professional as you.
great vid prof! always love your reviews
wow the stiched one and land series one look very nice.
I use the $4 Channel Fireball mat and it has worked exellently thus far...
Wyrmwood uses 8oz leather, which is about 1/8" or about 3.3mm thick, which for $50 usd is a little steep (24x14"=2.3 square feet, so just under $25²).

another nice in-depth review prof
4:29 - Really like the art on that Elspeth playmat. Just a shame the rubber on the backside wears too fast.
I'm watching all your videos to learn more things possible :)
Love what you do and know that I'll always be a fan.
Really liking the land ones!
Near 150k subs Prof! is it going to be a Q&A ?
Im interested to know if you have other/s hobbies besides mtg!
I had to stop watching in the middle of the video to get that morbacher stitched mat. Do they all come signed?
From him, yes.
Where is the link? Sorry, just had to point out there was no link to his page even though you said there was in the vid, not trying to be rude just want artist support.
great vid and edits in the intro. Love the honesty,
Always amazing quality videos!
finally a new playmate video
Love the reviews, professor! keep up the awesomeness!
is it possible to stick to one measurement system or another (SI or imperial), i really hate doing conversions in my head...
Watch out, Professor- 150k subscribers coming up fast!
Hey prof.
I actually enjoy mats with a bit of 'catch' on the surface to keep my cards from sliding around too much, could you do future reviews with this as a 'preference' rather then a downside?
Prof, love your reviews, always makes me smile. But your tie/shirt combo here needs a review!! 🤓
support your magic youtubers guys! like the videos
@7:36 Prevents "freying"? Am I missing out on a joke here or was I able to catch the professor? Should be "fraying" shouldn't it?
+Tolarian Community College what happens when the wyrmwood mat comes in to contact with fluids (ie a carelessly spilt energy drink)?
That's my only concern for it
Going to need a dubble sized 2 player mat for my commander bored state.
For magic I use a playmat I got in a Pokemon Mega Garchomp collection it’s great
I bought two of Mohrbacher's mats a while back, but after seeing the stitched edge version, I really wish I sprang for one of those :(
Hey that two player mat looks great!
I like your videos they help me a lot with magic
Sweet, Peter Mohrbacher made an album art for Fallujah, I thought he seemed familiar.
Got the ultimate guard swamp version but it had a strange dented curve along the bottom of it. Knowing that we can machine wash these makes me less disheartened and am now thinking about that to remove said dent
Those ultimate guards are so cheap yet so great. Wonder if they'll eventually do dual lands.
7:35 *Fraying
have you tried baseball glove conditioner on the Wyrmwood mat? Shaving cream is another trick one of my friends used to soften leather.
Awesome shout out to Peter Mohrbacher! :D
I just went to Gamer Mats website and it is not a very well designed web page at all. i was looking to order one of the play mats with the stitched border because the one in your review looks amazing, but i cant seem to find out how to select any options at all for any of the play mats on the page.
Looking forward to the booster box game :)
I am a MAT junkie. This is exactly what I needed. But now I have a dilemma: Will I have enough money to buy Playmats AND Magic cards? Dang...
Great video as usual!
