That One Guy Who Taps His Mana Weird | MTG  

This hurt my soul, but once I saw him riffle shuffle like that, my whole body was dragged into hell.

'I'll set this land card face down in defence mode'

The moment he picked up his entire deck to draw one card I'm calling the judge, there's no way I'm gonna trust that.

“Is that a morphed creature?” “No silly. It’s a tapped land.”

"I've never said this before, but I don't think you can play with us anymore. Sorry."

The shuffle broke my soul, the tapping broke my hope for humanity, and his graveyard broke my eyes

We were chillin' until he did the shuffle. Then he became public enemy number 1.

I took 1d4 psychic damage from this.

I played against someone like this, not this bad, but he admitted to me that he did it to throw people off. That is what we in Magic call " a dick move."

''thats just how i play'' ''okay, well lets see what the judge thinks about that''

idc about the riffle, they're his cards, but if you put the graveyard in the middle of the board u will be out of my house very quick

This is why I support regulated zones in games not this “cards go anywhere” madness

If my opponent flips a card face down that is in play and is supposed to be revealed I’m calling a judge

Picking the entire deck up to draw the card is so underrated. I think that was the funniest part 😂

In the words of Gretchen, "You can't sit with us"

Watching this video, the only thing coming to mind was “have you considered gun violence against your friends?”

I specifically ordered the full text Forest because it describes Tapping as turning the card 90° because a friend that occasionally sits to my left barely taps his lands 45° and makes keeping track of open mana more difficult. He’s newer and doesn’t think it’s a huge deal, but he’s also never used a control or midrange deck lol.

I was willing to look past most of it. But when he shuffled the cards I wanted to scream in a mix of anger and fear

You actually don't just 'have to deal with it'. I'd refuse to play with someone doing crap like that.

Literally fell to my knees at the shuffle.

Also, that is such an efficient graveyard position.

I love this. Definitely gotta give this play style a test. Especially that satisfying shuffle. I have no plans to resell cards, it’s just cardboard and ink anyway.

I wasn't ready for that. Just bursted in laughter

This made me want to quit magic 🤣

"You put your creature in the objectively worst spot possible". Proceeds to move it to a worse spot. Silence.

He did NOT reveal Diabolic Intent on the bottom of his deck, THEN RIFFLE 💀

This hurts on so many levels

His smirk says he’s playing a psychological game

Mans looked over at him and thought “This is where I die I’m sitting next to a sociopath and we’re all not making it out of this edh game alive”😂

This is the hardest I have ever laughed at an MTG video 😂

I once tried to introduce my friend to magic. I let him play with my deck and then he proceeded to do that kind of shuffling. My heart stopped for a second but I was quick enough to stop him

Raises hand: "JUDGE!"

I would never play with them again, or if it was an official match I'd call a judge

Dont make me watch him shuffle ever again

Lmao that shuffle is enough to make the soul of any tcg player leave this dimension 💀

Picking up the entire deck to draw a single card is such good comedy

It would take me less time than the length of this video to be completely fed up with this and walk away from the table.

Shoulda put the creature under the mat, and be like that's just how I play, stealthily.

Its an actual rule that lands are closest to the player and non land cards are closest to your opponent. the exception to this rule is mana rocks that only tap for mana. those can be with your lands, but they cant be hidden underneath your lands.

It's already been said but BRUH..... that f'ing shuffle made my eyes pop out my skull

That’s called big “don’t give a fuck” energy.

Those types of people I try to disqualify tbh.

Man's is a God at the psychological warfare

i have a friend exactly like this, and he often forgets to draw a card at the start of his turn, no matter how many times we remind him.

Funniest mtg skit I've seen in a sec

Guy will pick up his entire deck three times for brainstorm, then two times to put two cards back from his hand, then again to draw for turn. Then realize they're playing clockwise.

The shuffle is what got me. I shuffle my cats like that, and they're fine, but it's funny when people get scared 😆

That bridge shuffle heart my soul….. thousands cried out…… unanswered

Thats what you get when you llearned magic through a person on fiverr.

for everything else it was kinda tame but for when he shuffled the cards i literally whiplashed

when he said: "that's just how I play the game" I'll slap him so hard and say: "this is how I show my gratitude to playing with me".

That’s the kind of guy who wants to shuffle your deck instead of just a regular cut

me and my friends who learned mtg just among ourselves when we go to organized play and people stare at us. The riffle shuffle though is sacreligious.

Some of my decks are all proxy, i should totally riffle them

It's amazing how quick you can make a card game player have mental breakdown over the smallest things. Humans man.

Bro the way he draws got me hard You just gotta love how he gently pats his deck like a dog Blessing the good Lord for his draw

"Thats just how I play, you're just gonna have to deal with it" except I actually don't, because thank God there are official rules preventing stuff like this.

I use to play mtg deck with sleeves and shuffle the deck bridge style in front of people. The pain they experience was worth it

My brain is hurting and suddenly have irrational anger

I remember this scenario happening on a few occasions. Each & every casual & multiplayer group just told one guy who does the same crap seen in the video above that he couldn't play in the group anymore bc he wasn't willing to play/arrange his cards normally & he was likely doing what he was doing to confuse people deliberately. He was stubborn & unwilling to change. Casual groups who knew his unbearable track record warned other groups to never let him play bc of these factors. Bc he never learned. And that occurred with two people this year alone, & almost a dozen in the last 5 years. There were 17 total cases of this happening in tournaments for regular or EDH inclusive pre release or launch events. The was while at my local FNM 6 weeks ago that a dude picked up his whole deck to draw a card which made me call over a judge to explain what was happening while voicing my concerns. the other dude was told by a previous judge in that same FNM event that he can hold the deck down to draw but can't pick the entire deck up as it's not technically permitted in tournaments to prevent cheating by stopping players slipping cards not directly on top of their decks into their hands. Dude was like "oohhhKAYYYYY???" like he was mildly miffed. He was told if he violates rules or strictures once more that week, he'd be reported to Wizards Play Network (WPN) & could be suspended from 5 future MTG Qualifiers &/or Grand Prix events & 20 future FNM events. He then started to place his graveyard below the lands & his creatures where the graveyard normally is & it was confusing me to no end while raising everyone's hackles. His deck was above his Lands already & that alone was getting people irritated. Regardless, once again I called a judge over. Dude was told to place his cards in their appropriate places. Dude said aloud "this is how I play, so cry about it. Stop telling me how to place or interact with my cards, you're being a complete jerk." He was disqualified from the event & suspended for life.

This is too accurate. "It's just for me, it makes more sense this way" 🙄

I once played against a guy who put decorative glass stones on his lands instead of tapping them. I think he tried to confuse his opponents, but he built such a bad deck that he was stomped in the event XD

When he shuffled like that, I screamed out loud in fear.

They really need to release a video explaining where cards go or make an official battle playmat .

I can forgive weird ways of tapping lands. What I can't forgive is people who say "tap mana".

This video didn't have a trigger warning because?

i just ate food, this video has me damn near sick lol. that ending hurt me a little haha.

At least he didn't play a morph or foretell after tapping his land like that lol

I will respectfully flip the table if my opponent(s) does any of that

The “no, I guess… I guess that’s fine.” Hits home

I understand this 100% this is why mats have to have labeled zones and even then people still ignore the labels

We all have a friend that picks up the whole deck to draw

God seeing this again 7 months later and I still hate it, that shuffle at the end puts the nail in the coffin

ugh when he riffle shuffled that deck it gave me shivers

That's it. Focus this man down! He committed the sin of playing differently than us.

I gagged at the shuffle, that's a crime😂

I just started learning to play yesterday and that’s why I appreciate my friend telling me how to space the cards

I like the guy beside him just raising his eyebrow and giving confused looks not saying anything lol

Yes! That shuffle was beautiful. I laughed so hard.

Dude, nothing hurt worse than each individual card getting creased by the poker shuffle. I almost had a heart attack hearing it 💀💀💀

The video cuts after the ruffle shuffle because that happened after isn’t allowed on RU-vid

this would make me commit devious acts

I appreciate the comedy in that the" normal" guy has one land upright, one tapped and one at 45 degrees. Insane people at this table

I knew a player who grabbed his whole deck like that while drawing, it's absolutely maddening

Not only does the land produce mana but it also revives a retired Magic play mechanic and turns the land into a Yu-Gi-Oh card. This is awesome. It also brings in Lorcana.

" i just thought you forgot your brinstorm there, that cannot be where your graveyard is" that shit had me dying, i was thinking that the whole time

The bridge shuffle shuffled my soul into the shadow realm into an alternate reality and obliterated it 🙃

That friend you never invite to play mtg with again.

That "that's just how I play the game" at the end made me even more angry then the things before

First it was just my eye twitching, then I started convulsing when I saw the riffle shuffle, tough watch good job

Then proceeds to riffle shuffle like a Chad. I love this video

NOT THE SHUFFLE I DIED OF A BROKEN HEART AFTER SEEING THAT HELLO FROM HELL

Shuffling like that should be a hate crime

Bro is a straight up menace with the mind games

😂😂😂 I LMAO when he said "you just have to deal with it" and then proceeds to guillotine shuffle

Taps weird: Ok? Graveyard/creatures in wrong spot: Eh....? RIFFLE SHUFFLE: Please leave.

This made me throw my head back out of frustration

When he said objectively worst place to put your creature and then it was moved to an even worse place 😂

Not the pharaoh shuffleeeeeeee 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

That shuffle made me yelp like I just watched someone break a leg 💀
