- 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.
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
who else is happy to see The "Brian Lewis" Professor in this video?
Wasnt it Ryan ??
His name isn't just the professor
Thank you professor! We love you. Thank you for taking the risks to do what you do for us.
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.
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
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.
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.
Just to see Wizards making a video like this speaks dividends about this wonderful community. And yes the prof sent me xD
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!
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.
I love that the professor has become such a cornerstone of our community. I am proud that we have nominated someone so genuine.
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
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
More of this...I say again...*MORE OF THIS*. Thank you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"Liked" because of LSV's Cheontaur shirt.
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!
This is absolutely the type of content that needs to fill downtime in the coverage feed! MOAR!!!
Paul and the Professor, my 2 favs.
Wonderful wonderful video!!! We the magic community owe a huge thank you to the content creators!!! Thank you
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.
4:34 that John Green quote on the wall...
I have always been a fan of both Paul and the professor but this video gave me a new love for them
"To see the person you love dreams come true". - A very beautiful statement.
Very much happy to see the professor in the video! His videos has helped me on the way to my own greatness!!!!
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.
Starting out in community college was one of the best experiences of my life and coincidentally where I learned to play Magic. I know I would have gotten along well with the TCC Professor if he had been my instructor. He just brings back the feels for me so much, I am so glad to have him on youtube.
The Prof is simply the best thing in Magic's community.
Thank you Prof for taking that jump and going full time into content creation! You bring something that money and the corporate world can't fabricate to the best game in the world! Much love.
The Professor is the best, it was nice to see another part of his life. Wizards please support the creators.
Props for them interviewing them and uploading this. Two of my favorite reviewers
Two great creators that truly deserve the following they have and then some
thank you for recognizing these two awesome people who create excellent content and help this community flourish.
Who in the name of Avacyn gave this video a dislike?!
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 :)
I have not left the game only because of these two. Mad props to them!
I love watching the professor! it's one of the best breaks between graduate studies and grading. Dude is living the dream.
I'm relatively new to Channel Fireball content, but as a longtime fan of the Professor, I have to say he is a huge inspiration for someone like me. Glad to see he's come so far since the 30k days.
This is hands down the best video to date. Thanks Wizards and the content creators as well!
I watch both of them weekly! Great video!
Awesome GREAT content. Thanks for posting this. Thumbs up!
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.
Me
great to see these youtubers recognized for their excellent content!
Love the creators featured here, and so many more! Thank you for showing the people that grow the community around MtG.
PS: The Professor sent me.
Just watched again. These guys are total inspirations to small creators like myself.
Greatings from Germany! The Professor is the best!!!
Tolarian speaks in a way which makes me always so confortable I can't help feeling he is definitly a good and trustworthy person.
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!
Its weird when I first started doing CZcams 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.
The Prof. as always continues to be one of the most entertaining CZcamsrs. He could be discussing socks, it would still be a great watch
Awesome episode of EtB! More of this please!
You guys made me cry...!!
It's so emotive...!!
Good to see the Professor receiving recognition from Wizards. Now let's see if they take his advice on some matters.
absolutely adored this!
Gaaaah love both of these guys so much. Great video!!
Cool to see you guys supporting CZcamsrs that make magic based videos. You never see any other games doing that.
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!
Great content, this game is so much more than just the pro tour.
I liked the video even before I watched it and god bless both these guys.
Love to see The Proffesor! Keep doing what you love ☺️
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.
I love the professor, he is just so wonderful.
Love this. So cool to see their families
Love these! Keep 'em coming!
BRIAN LEWIS? THIS IS MADNESS,he's The Professor
Absolutely love this!
I need more of this.
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.
This is awesome. I hope to see Magic the gathering head toward a more community matters, friendly, and diverse content creating environment.
Good to see you Professor!
This was a really nice video. Maybe one day the prof will be supporting your channel and going behind the scenes ;)
Best content! Congrats!
This video is awesome!
Congrats to both of them.
this was well made and fun! good to see.
I'm here, because I support The Professor.
This is awesome!
This was great!
This video is awesome, these guys are amazing
Great Video! Keep them coming!!!
What an absolutely lovely video.
Lisa Cheon is a Saint #Utamog
This was awesome
Great vid. Both of their wives are awesome, cute kids too.
4:35 Well 5 years later and his youtube channel subs have tripled. He also had a kickstarter that had reached $4m
that's great. videos like this are great.
Just beautiful video.
who hell dislikes this positive stuff? who? great video.
This was a good video!
the professor would be a very nice addition on the wotc commentary team. it will be great and entertaining! i hope they hire him
Love it !
Well done!
More stuff from thees guys should be included without a doubt in pro tour coverage. (Y)
