When I was a child, there was one family in my village that was pretty poor. I once entered their home, they did not have a toilet besides a plank and a hole, but they did have 2 huge tv's standing next to each other, each with it's own vcr, playstation 1 and nintendo,... They also had a PC, which their son constantly used for playing Age Of Empires II. Turns out he was a pro (this was around 2003-2004)
@@DJSamsonofficial I grew up on the moon. The moon men didn't have much - just a little room for your poo to bounce and float around in - but they did have one of those little horses you can ride that you put a quarter in, and the kid who lived there was a professional horse machine rodeo cowboy. Then, we all had moon pies.
The amount of time it took him to simply play a land and declare attack is way too accurate and I love how they integrated "this asshole needs to make a move already" into it lmao
"this asshole needs to make a move already" reminds me of modern day competitive yugioh as well....only for us its "this asshole needs to finnish his turn"
I use to own an LGS, and one time the quietist nicest guy in the shop was playing Vs a guy like this, the quiet guy was winning and the other guy was just shuffling his hand over and over breathing like this guy. Finally quiet guy screams "name, Would you go already" guy reaches across the table and concedes he had nothing he was just wasting time.
@@jamesmeppler6375 the 1990's had the satanic panic because Christian game developers designed Doom as well as Dungeons and dragons ; but other christians were offended by such portrayals of alleged witchcraft.
@@Mikewee777 yea that was the joke ^_^ all you have to do is look at the difference between 3rd and 4th edition unholy strength, bye bye pentagram! What a different world we now live in! I lived in Eugene Oregon as a child and got to meet a lot of the artists. Rob Alexander and he told me all about the limitations, that's why he chose to do a self portrait for his ication scout, for fallen empire. Back before alliance came out, everyone thought they were done for
This reminds me of a time in middle school between two guys in the library playing a really intense match of yugioh. Never finished the match, but it was so intense and it lasted the whole lunch period.
Two things. 1. Thats only since the link era. 2. Nah, you can still play interactive decks like sky strikers and orcust that make the games actually interesting and beong otk'ed allmost impossible.
@@justaredstring7517 I've bin in king of games in duel links and the game isn't all about otk, master duels has way more otk potential than duel links. Links is really fun Actually if u don't want to get sweaty about yugioh
meh. sounds like someone tuned into a broadcast for 5 minutes but never played a game. the words are all mtg terms, but they are used completely wrong.
I love how like every single sentence about the game is just about half right... just like you would expect very casual kitchen table magic games to be
I think it could be a legitimate game. It sounds like Kenny's opponent has a minotaur but is debating attacking with it since it would leave him open. He plays a creature with haste to attack instead and destroy a planeswalker. Kenny's creature untaps when his turn starts, he enchants it with an aura and uses an instant/sorcery card to make it unblockable, past the minotaur, for lethal damage.
@@Mrgabi1239 Yeah I guess in a tournament setting it would be illegal, true. I think a lot of times I played, I would've let people rewind a few seconds if they didn't mean to move into the attack phase right away. Good catch though
You know what's funny? I grew up as a poor kid who played Magic, so I only bought what I could afford, and actually made some pretty meta competitive decks with the more affordable options. Now as an adult, those cheap cards that were so easy to get 15 years ago are worth enough money to buy a new car with.
As an mtg player this is genuinely amazing, and also kinda painful how close it is to being accurate. I think the writers know how to play pretty well to get it this closely wrong.
I haven't played in years but correct if I'm wrong. Wouldnt the creature just played need haste in order to attack. Wasn't it summoning sickness or something?
@@akiloofnice Correct. Though we can't know if Elder Beast has Haste, since that card does not exist. You also don't announce an attack when the card is not even on the board :)
@@existenceisrelative nah bro, i know a guy who works in the only LGS in my nation, and he lets me get some of the packs (from prevoius sets) they couldnt sell whenever a new set comes out
ye... they realy didnt do there research for this episode, they should have just made it about yugioh, the rules portrayed in this video are more suited for that.
Even the inaccuracies are accurate to how real players behave. Calling lands "mana," trying to backtrack to an earlier phase after already declaring that you've moved on to the next one, responding to stuff at the wrong time, and acting like the game is over prematurely are all real bad habits among players.
Your opponent has to agree to a phase change, in case they have a card to play before that phase ends. On a casual level there's nothing wrong with what he did.
you realize that the game handbook and online tutorials made by the creators of the game actually call the landcards mana? edit: cuz you know, the landscape gives you the magic power... thats why landcards create mana for your spellcards (btw, creature cards are also called spellcards)
@@udozocklein6023 no... Lands are called just that, lands. They produce the game resource "Mana" . Also, creatures are just that, creature cards. A "spell" refers to the card being placed on the stack. Google told me this in like, 2 minutes
Card games before the internet were amazing. One of my greatest memories growing up would be scoring the occasional $5 from the grandparents and getting a booster then playing with friends where everyone had a shitty deck built around their 1 or 2 actually good cards. Now everyone just buys cards online to build one of 3 current meta decks that someone way smarter assembled and it turns into a game of rock paper scissors.
Kenny reminds of the Asians that barely spoke English I used to play In Yugioh. Never speaks, nods and waits for responses, then whoops your ass by turn 3
*I remember watching a dude from my school win a YuGiOh championship and it was awesome.* Everyone who made fun of him watched it and he actually gained mad respect. Jealous people still mocked him but it was just cool especially when you don’t really know what’s happening.
I like how the majority of comments here are talking about how illegal it was for Kenny's opponent to attack with Spark Ghast (which may have had haste, making it a legal move) but nobody is mentioning that Kenny played an enchantment on his opponents turn (which can only be played on his own turn unless it has Flash -- which is not overly common). Kenny's creature also attacked during his opponent's attack, attacked while tapped, and Kenny also summoned a creature tapped and attacking after he declared attackers and his opponent declared blockers. It's funny how they put in rules and MTG lingo that ALMOST sounds right, but is ridiculously off if you've played for a little bit.
I think that's a lot of the point, it wouldn't be humorous to the people who know about it if nothing sounded off, it's kind of like the airsoft episodes, they got so much right but then when you notice one or two things off it just feels weird
Guess you never saw card game series. There's an anime about a card game that I like to play and in the anime they break the rules over and over, like they use cards when they can't use. That said, the anime came before the game
@@sirblankenship no, Wixoss. Never played yu gi oh nor do I like card games animes. I watched Wixoss merely bc it has a similar plot to madoka magica but using cards, that's all
I went to one mtg event in my life and the guy i lost to (i was terrible) did the "hold on, wait" thing when I was just sitting there getting my ass kicked. It was surreal.
I appreciate that the nerds from the episode "4th grade," which was all the way back in the 4th season, are present. You can spot 'em on Slaughterhouse's side of the store
I remember growing up in the early Pokemon, MTG, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh days. Everyone was crazy about buying them up especially Pokemon the 1st editions where sold out so fast at Wizards. The tournaments where cool to some where at Wizards some and Albertsons in the back or Target. But it would always piss me off when there was an older person there playing. They had all the good cards and could afford them. They didn't mind busting them out to show off but never would trade them.
My LGS brackets people based on age and I am very happy about that because I'm 25 and love card games. I don't want to stop but I don't wanna crush kids either, I wanna play against other autistic adults like myself.
I remember during my lunch period in high school me and my friends would play UNO. One time I started the round with a +2 then the person next to me placed a +2 as well. Then 4 others place a +2, comes back to me I played another +2, then next to me comes another +2. This time it only went around 3 other players before the last one loudly screams NOOOO. We all just started dying of laughter. All together he had to pick up 24 cards. Icing on the cake was he came in second place as we played to the last person.
This brings back memories to my godfather introducing me to the game when i was like 13 even took me to compete at a DCI or whatever tourny i ended up winning.
If you've ever played MTG you'd know this is exactly how it goes in real life, the rich kid always goes up against some poor kid who just knows how the game works and just destroys them with charity cards.
I remember in of my fnm when I made a cheap mono white Kor deck and against a mono green eldrazi deck, all three game of the match he had all three legendary eldrazi titan out but I still won and made him to just completely out from the tournament lol
@@stefanlowe9067 That deck was like $15 to build and would absolutely steamroll $300 midrange goodstuff decks lmao...played it for like 9 months to grind store credit. First tournament I played with it I got a booster pack with a Godless Shrine, which was basically worth more than 1/2 the deck. 😂😂
This episode will always remind me of me and my friends in school going through our Yugioh phase. We'd be waiting for lunch time to challenge others to duel. Ah good memories.
The most realistic part of this is Kenny being the best Magic the Gathering player even though he is using his friends cards because his family can't afford to buy him cards.
i think because kennys mana was untapped and the opponent said he could block that the turn had passed to kenny because the opponents combat phase had ended. i dont believe he had all untapped mana before the cut to playing the enchantment
Matt Stone: "Hey Trey. New summoned monsters have to wait a turn before they can attack. How will we animate that to make it interesting?" Trey: "We won't. Instead, let's just somewhat follow the rules, let them attack simultaneously, then have Kenny dominate him on Slaughter's turn. People will notice, but who cares?" Matt: "Yeah, and who really cares enough to comment on our fictional Magic The Gathering game?"
I like how they have the lingo and even make kenny tap his mana but the inconsistencies are also super hilarious. Like playing the enchantment during his opponent’s turn or, if you notice, Kenny’s mana was already tap at the beginning of the scene.
Everyone saying that Kenny couldn't afford his deck hasn't taken a close look at his cards (when "Elven Blade" is played). Elven Blade as depicted acts as an instant to give a blocking creature "+1". His "Planeswalker" is an enchantment that makes his opponent reveal a card at random, costs GRR, and can only be activated "during sorcery". Seems like his friends gave him some of their shitty cards and Kenny was able to make a decent deck out of otherwise garbage cards. The only real Magic card referenced was Kenny's Serindib Sorcerer.
This reminds me of my old high school days, those were some greats times. Started playing MTG in the 2011 corset. Made a mono-black Vampire deck. The card everyone hated? Doom Blade 😂 4 years into MTG and I become a Blue player using Affinity with Glint Hawk 🤣🤣
@@TragoudistrosMPH I couldn't agree more lol Sliver Queen is a very good card, but very situational as well. Only used in Silver decks I actually owned over 50 decks back in high school and it was fantastic! Playing Slivers, Mill, Burn, Goblins, Affinity, Tokens, 5-Colored Dragons, Spirits, and even more decks. It was a privilege to play the best TCG ever created and me and my friends still talk about it to this very day. I could go on and on about the drama and stories that happened at school too. Someone wanted to punch me in the face for being too good at magic, then a friend of mine decided to give his cards away, so at lunch time he threw a deck in the air and cards went flying everywhere. The other players ran for his cards, then one time I was banned from the high school tournament for being too good, as the guy who was running it, wanted us to keep our tie, as he was afraid to lose the " Number 1 " title to me 😂😂 Good times, as always.
The really funny part is those dudes at card shops really do shuffle their hands incessantly throughout the match, just like this, as if you were psychic-ly keeping track of the cards in their hand and them doing that throws it off lmao.
I remember in the first days of MtG in San Francisco when one still had to ante up a random card from their deck before playing. Many stabbings and wailings were heard in the back alleys of Chinatown those days I tell you. One of the reasons why TSR decided to NOT buy into the WotC card game. The rest, as they say, is history.
This brings back memories…I used to play the Pokémon card game at comic shops in early 2000s and I would occasionally watch other kids play Magic the Gathering.
I never pulled an Icy Manipulator. I only have them because my dad's rich work friend knew I played and gave me his entire collection when he quit. Sounds like you got some lucky pulls, hope you built a kickass deck out of those.
