- Worldwide, there are millions of registered Magic: The Gathering players. Now in it's 20th year, the game-in which two players wage battle using trading cards that cast spells and creatures upon their opponent-is more popular than ever. Some of these ninety million play just for fun; others compete for winnings that can reach to the tens of thousands per tournament. In New York City on any given Friday night, MTG devotees can find officially sanctioned Friday Night Magic tournaments at ten comic book and gaming stores in the five boroughs.

Out of all the Friday Night Magic Documentarys this my favorite one
The human interaction involved is what makes it fun and something you don't get with video games. It seemed like there was a wide variety of people at this place and many people who might not expect. I bought m15 tool kit for some new cards recently and I have a bunch of old cards from when I was 12. I'm definitely thinking about going to one of the places in my area because I don't really know anyone who plays anymore.
Starting to properly play magic in this last month and a bit has been one of the best decisions of my life. I've made new friends and I get to socialise consistently whilst being challenged to think and use my brain
I'm moving to NYC and Montasy Comics is 7 walking minutes away from where I'll be, so I was googling to check out what other stores were like for FNM; needless to say I was ridiculously happy to see that specific store covered by the video :)
Randomly stumbled upon this video, loved it
This is an amazing Friday Night Magic FNM Documentary video this is my favorite out of all the Friday Night Magic FNM videos Documentarys
Love that guys shirt. "Why cry about it"
Well made little documentary - really enjoyed it! Thanks :-)

The kids sleeves were so rippled and warped xD
I know right. I was gonna say that. "he gotta buy new sleeves" like wtf kind are those?
This was great. Awesome job making that video!

Commander 4 Life!

Commander is the best format
Work day shift and complain less

I hope more people get into Magic.
I’m a month in love it man ❤
Awesome job :) epic film
Im sorta nervous about doing this. It does look fun though. I think I'll convince one of my friends to go with me.
todays my first time
How old do you have to be I'm 11
where i live you have to be 13 or older
I read the website It said no age requirement
ROCK 13XM Guys it's not like an age limit thing. It's just a card game. The box says 13+ because it is very complicated for younger children to play. It is only recommended for older kids due to the amount of rules and shit.

I miss Friday Night Magic
Jaime you might be the best magic player ever at least at heart...
4:05 this guy throughout the video proved to be exactly the type I thought he was. Has no fun playing literally cares only about winning. Getting dominated by a control deck and calls for time? Like really dude..?
😂
that comic store has a black lotus?! 3:25
It's revised, not beta
RetroGamingSquad also not alpha... you know... the most valuable version
I really want to learn to play magic but I’m to socially awkward to meet new people
Never thought I would miss being around people 😕
im sure
i love fire/forest deck try it!
IcyWolf Pvp same
Id go but I feel like id get made fun of because im still pretty young so I'll probubly just wait till im older
So long as your respectful, who cares about age? I’ve seen 8-9 year olds act very mature and seen adults so inappropriate. You won’t get made fun of.
i wish there was more grown people playing in denmark... im 30 myself and its just killing me to sit and talk with people half my age 99% of the time,..
its not that i cant have fun with younger people, but after a few matches i just want to discuss in a different fashion than you can with kids,..
Rip get there games
Can children come to fnm I just want to know
+Emerald Mine card If they have a guardian/older sibling with them and the kids behave and know how to play then it's fine.
+Dylan Evans yup
When it was 2008 when I started playing Magic The Gathering me and my brother played and are local shop at the time called My Parents Basement they had Jr Friday Night Magic than in 2010 the owner of My Parents Basement died and the shop closed I was 11 when that happend I still play to this day and never stopped so yeah kids can go to Friday Night Magic
So yes they can go after 2014 my brother stopped playing but in 17 now and have not stopped playing y brother is a casual player now he plays with his friends ever Friday now
wizards of the coast are nice.
A lot of greasy hair in this video
I hate this game it is so boring why would people take the time out of their day just to do this
shane wallace why would you take time out of your day just to write that comment on something you don't want to take time out of your day to do, you troll
shane wallace
Why watch the goddamn video then?
+shane wallace
What do you hate about magic?
I'm sooooooo sorry that you dislike a game you are watching a video about... Really unfortunate
