what a legned
Yes yes yes thanks for this!
Thank you
Thanks now I don't have to watch since he doesn't do Ninjutsu
GOAT 💯
Double strike may not always hit twice.
If it is blocked by another creature with first strike and it dies during that phase, then it will not apply the 2nd attack.
thank you I was just about to ask:)
Trample doesn't work if it is blocked by something with enough power to kill it! You missed that!!!!!!!!!!
@@JacksonOwex No, not true. If a 4/4 with trample is blocked by a 4/1, the trampling creature still deals 3 damage to the defending player. All damage is assigned and dealt simultaneously.
@@JacksonOwex you're wrong. trample still works
That's so funny, as you were explaining hexproof with the example of Carnage Tyrant and putting Blanchwood Armor on it, I was playing MTGA and had Tyrant on the board with a Blanchwood in my hand about to play.
I had a REALLY old deck that I abused the Menace ability with, BEFORE it was called menace, it was really fun to play!!!
You are my Hero - I've played magic in 2003-2006 and soooo much has changed :D
Bear in mind that Deathtouch applies to *all* damage dealt by the creature. This means that if you have a way to deal chip damage outside of battle such as by way of an equip or enchantment, or you put Deathtouch on a creature with an ability that does it, then the opponent's creature will still die due to Deathtouch. Do note though that the ability must state that the creature itself deals the damage, not just that damage is dealt
There’s also the fun interaction where the deathtouch creature has 0 or negative power and therefore doesn’t apply.
hi, do you think of creatures fighting each other due to card effects ( not combat ) ??
@@steffanreichenbach3124 Deathtouch applies to any damage dealt by the creature.
Deathtouch happens when the creature...
-blocks another creature
-is blocked by another creature
-deals direct damage to another creature though an effect such as "Tap: this creature deals 1 damage to target creature"
-fights another creature
-in any scenario when the creature explicitly deals damage to another creature
Viridian longbow is a fun combo to use with deathtouch creatures in modern for nice removal
thanks for the explanation! :D
Thank you for explaining all the keyword abilities
Very informative, thanks.
First strike is also good against creatures with death touch.
Hi I'm learning mtg. Does this mean that first strike's damage turn negates deathtouch? Does death touch count as standard combat turn that gets skipped if the first strike eliminates the target?
@@clamder11 you've probably learned since asking but with first strike and double strike you need to imagine a separate attacking phase has been created. A creature with death touch can only use it against the first attack of double strike or against first strike in defense if the creature also has one of those.
Example would be if you have a 1/1 with double strike attacking a 2/2 with only death touch. The first 1 damage would hit and the 2/2 wouldn't attack in that new phase but the second strike takes place in the main attack phase so the death touch will apply.
New player.
Thanks for that!
This video has been the most useful video I’ve found
Helped a lot
thank you! nice video ^^
I used to watch alot of minecraft and Isaac back in the day. I got into magic 3 or so years ago. I clicked this and your voice was like a slap in the face. Great video.
This is great thank you 🙏
Sehr gutes Video danke schön :)
Thank you
Great tutorial
Wait! Wels played Arena?! Damn wish I had known this back then! Oh well!!!
For these I’d recommend time stamping so people can find a specific ability quicker. Been trying to figure out the exact rulings for parley. Like if I can tap to attack without attacking or activate the ability
What do you mean by "parley" here? Is it a typo?
I wish you can do this every day
Where can i find information on understanding what aeon chroniclers suspend x ability means? I m extremely very new to mtg just need some help understanding whrre to get clwae concrete rules on card specifics please and thanks.
Thanks
Yes I played this game for years
Good for you?!
I get all of these. I'm having trouble with emergence from eldritch moon.
So you pay the emergence cost and sacrifice another creature. Is that all??? It's the last sentence in the flavor that keeps getting me confused. Thanks.
ty
I don't suppose you could help me understand what scry, and infect do?
10:01 yeah, Indestructible is a nice album... wait what were you saying?
Please explain how "delve" works. I battled with a friend and he basically summoned the monster out using the "delve" ability to pay for it all by exiling his grave cards. I thought you first have to pay for the cost to summon your creature then when its on the field, you can use its ability.
Delve is an ability that effects how the creature is brought into play. A super busted mechanic imo, it's too powerful to be able to exile from the graveyard instead of pay mana costs lol I don't think it's considered legal in standard play anymore.
Was looking for wither
As someone just getting into mtg after ygo, I find this EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Only way this would be better is if you made one that explains in yugioh terminology.
To learn something fundamentally new, you must unlearn what you have already learned! Drawing comparisons to Yu-Gi-Oh would not at all be helpful.
Holy hell please people. TIME STAMPS
When is the video on banding?
Quick question: If you attack a player directly with double strike, it still deals twice the damage correct?
yes
@@IlanPerez Darn
Came here for madness
Wow. Instantly recognized your voice from Hermitcraft. Glad you do magic too! I just picked it up again since more than 10 years. Thanks for the explanation. I was a bit rusty:)
Same, but you have a 7(or so) month head start on getting back into it! I couldn't resist the D&D set anymore!
@@JacksonOwex good to hear that oldschoolers are getting back into it!
I was drawn to it because of snow in Kaldheim. Living in snowy mountains does that to you;)
Have fun and enjoy it again. It truly is a fantastic game!
When I want to play a spell, won’t my lands get tapped by default ? This really confuses me.
Tapping a land gives you 1x mana to spend toward your spell. If you’re playing Arena online the land tapping is automatic but you can also do it manually.
You described double strike the same as first strike. If your creature with first strike does not kill the creature the 1st time, the main battle phase takes place where both creatures are now attacking and blocking. You said the same for double, so wouldn’t double strike add another damage phase after first strike and before main combat phase??????
Well cool to see you playing mtg been playing for a while if you dont want to destroy your bank account dont get into Competitive paper mtg it gets expensive looks at mana vault for 200$
THAT'S the card you want to pick?! Yeah let's leave out the ones that are like 2 or 3 GRAND each?!
@@JacksonOwex yeah but thats all true competitive and mana vault is playable in almost ever deck tabernacle isn't
I like your using multiple cards for examples of abilities. It very "digestible."
Does Indestructible protect from someone forcing you to sacrifice the card with indestructible?
Nope
Flying can be blocked by reach
I may have missed it. I haven't played MTG in years, but I don't recall you mentioning that a creature with flying can be blocked by a creature with reach. Unless that has changed recently, or I'm just stupid. It is quite possible that reach isn't an ability in Arena. I just downloaded and haven't played yet. Was looking for a refresh of abilities which is why I'm watching this.
**EDIT** Just watched the rest of the video. You brought it up when talking about utility abilities
What is the website he is using?
That is MTG Arena, it's a game! It is basically Magic's answer to/capitalization of things like Hearthstone. Came in especially handy during Covid with the whole "no gathering in groups" suggestion!
Kaya bane of the dead can cancel hexptoof
Does deathtouch kill indestructible?
NO! Indestructible prevents DESTROY effects and Deathtouch is a DESTROY effect. Only -x/-x, exile, or returning the card to their hand will get rid of it!
I guess if you force them to SACRIFICE a creature, or whatever thing, with Indestructible that would work too but that is hard to pull off!
Can deathtouch be a way to beat a hex proof creature?
Yes
@@olafjurek2137 It does NOT!!! Or should NOT, there have been MANY iffy rulings over the years and I have been out of the MTG loop for awhile! Hexproof just keeps your opponents from being able to TARGET your creature with things like SHOCK or HALL MONITOR(I think it's called). Shock deals damage to TARGET creature and Hall Monitor can be used to prevent TARGET creature from blocking.
HOWEVER, and I'm not really sure how much it is used now that there is Hexproof, PROTECTION from a color, from just damage(Pretty sure there is ACTUALLY a creature that just had protection from damage, might have been an Unhinged or similar spoof card though), or from creatures or creature types WOULD as long as the Deathtouch came from whatever you have protection from!
Again though, I could be wrong! The governing bodies have always like to make rulings that made ZERO sense! There used to be a whole back and forth about "coming into play"(payed mana cost for) and "PUTTING into play"(used another thing to bring it back) that was REALLY REALLY dumb and no one could ever remember what the ruling was!
@@JacksonOwex deathtouch is like poisonous from hearthstone, kills any creature that damages - except from "immune to death". Hexproof cannot only be targeted with spells - they can be attacked and killed on attack. I don't know what are you talking about
Unbanishable should be an ability. Maybe with a better name lol. Something like iron will.
How about Swampwalk or Madness
LANDwalk*, Madness I believe was a set/block specific ability! Or maybe wasn't called madness in 2018(I was onut of the game so I don't know) like Menace was NOT a name we used back in the day, neither was Lifelink or Vigilance now that I think about it! The abilities were printed out fully on the cards when they had these things.
NOR was REACH when I started, like Lifelink and Vigilance it WAS a thing but didn't have the name yet!
@@JacksonOwex interesting
Dash?
Shroud?
# reach blocks flying # snear
Lifeline is op
How does exile work?
Some spells or instants have the ability to exile a card, meaning that it can never be brought back. Like if a card was in the graveyard, some creatures or spells ect can summon it back, but if the card is exiled that cant happen and it will never be used again during the game.
@@quill7889 thanks
@@1lian8 No problem fam
Wait are you not that Minecraft guy
Nope that's WelsKNIGHT this is Wels AFTER DARK!!! ;)
Sorry, I couldn't resist! Yes this is the same person but this Channel is the one he plays(played, not sure if he uses this channel anymore) OTHER things on! I was ALSO surprised to see this after starting to get into MTG again because of the D&D set!!!
man the mental cramps you have when you're talking are funny as hell kkkkkkk
What about melee ??
TF is melee?! Was that an ability in a set that I missed over the last 10-15 years?!
No Ninjutsu?
Not an ability in Arena, so far as I know(been out for QUITE some time until recently) ONLY found in the old Kamigawa stuff! Man I miss those days!
still don’t understand kicker
Ok…. Now explain populate.
you forgot that creatures with reach can block flying
don't worry didn't wash the full vid
@@tylertr9819 Don't worry you are not the only one who said this either! Though you are the first to comment about the fact that he goes over that later as it would have made the video weird to go over REACH when he went over FLYING!!!
This is Colin Cowherd?
Reach can block flying, right? I think you forgot to say that.
actually you covered it in 19:00 , my bad :)
These explanations are half-baked; should re-do video; you've got an awesome energy to your voice! So please dont take it as an attack.
Could you please takes your glasses off while talking Mr. Mcgoo...
you missed shroud, heroic,cycle,infect and others so you did not get all abilities. the title did NOT say in standard 2018 but all mgt abilities explained. in essince my good man is you failed # sorry
NO!! Aside from Cycle(which also is SUPER iffy on being a "main/keyword ability") none of those Qualify with what he SAID IN THE OPENNING OF THE VIDEO! # DS(was something a teach I had would call some of the students because they were DUMB SHITS) # Fatmeatymiddlefingerakasausage finger(the # are from another post thought I would just lump them in here too though)
So I SLIGHTLY misunderstood what he was doing too, he goes over things that ARE NOT "main/basic" abilities but you are still just a know it all DS!(Yeah, yeah, I know I am an asshole, I'll survive!)
There not called bold abilities there not even in bold text. There called keyword abilities you are (at least comparatively to me) very new.
Its not disproportionate for white to have vigilance **facepalm** its a mostly white abilitfor fuck sake (green having it as well)
These abilities are also called evergreen abilities if were talking about the main 12
Those are:
1.First strike
2.Double strike
3.Hexproof
4.Haste
5.Flying
6.Flash
7.Trample
8.Vigilance
9. Deathtouch
10. Reach
11. Menace
12. Indestructible
Its cool that your explaining the core bascis of the game was looking for a video for people on my discord who are new but i feel like not only did u use the wrong terminology (which is ok) but whats not ok is how disorganized the video feels
Not trying to be rude sorry if i was. Just next time write a script or something. I don't know if your willing to include face camera or not but that along side making a care appear on the screen , instead of you scrolling around would be more to the point. Or if u prefer you could use mtg arena search engine.
you didnt put reach in when you were talking about flying and said ONLY FLYING CAN BLOCK FLYING than laiter you say REACH CAN not even in the same subject you my good man dont know enoph about explaining thaings in magik to be making theas vids
