It was down temporarily yesterday. I hope this was just a hiccup, and not a sign that its time is numbered. I don’t know what I’d do if I was stuck with Gatherer…
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ It was not the first time Scryfall was temporarily down and will not be the last. It is neither evidence that Scryfall will shut down any time soon or proof that it will live forever. Just website stuff.
This is a shot in the dark; Gwen Dekker, the lead designer of Cube Cobra, has a bunch of cubes that I'm sure he'd love to bring onto Shuffle Up & Play. I'd love to see cubes on that series.
I'm glad Scryfall was mentioned first. I've been a Patron for a few years now. Their contribution to the community is massive. They must work so hard to keep it running at such a level.
I'm genuinely curious about the turn around time for the professor recording a video and it being uploaded due to this specific line. Did he happen to get lucky with making a great joke or does he just have extremely good editors that can put a video out in a day?
@@dreadedevil4055Even if his editors are super fast, he obviously put a lot of time into this video between research and scripting, so I'm sure he'd already prepared that segment well before the announcement. Based on his edited-in comment a couple minutes later in the video, wherein he acknowledges the eBay acquisition, my interpretation is that it was a genuine comparison from his original script, focusing on the fact that both sites are marketplaces housing individual sellers. It just happened to age well as the perfect joke! Or.......... his famously dry sense of humor did indeed win out here, and he edited in both the explicit acknowledgement AND this tongue-in-cheek joke, both within the final couple days of editing....... Who am I kidding. It's the Professor. Of COURSE it's option B. 😂
One big thing I would also like to note about Scryfall is that for us brewers, learning how to properly use syntax when searching in INCREDIBLY invaluable, as it's got nearly limitless potential for finding even the most obscure of cards. They even have a guide to help you along the way, if syntax isn't something you're already familiar with using. Cannot recommend enough getting comfortable with it!
As a French guy I can say your videos are truly la « crème de la crème » I would love to see you visit France and talk about Duel Commander which is a very popular format here. It may be interesting to have a series about MTG in different countries.
I would love to see a in depth video about scryfall. I feel like many of us miss the most potential with it. Therefore a video maybe with a deck brew with scryfall would be dope
You know you’ve been reading too much Phyrexia lore when you read the title and think it says “The Compleat Guide.” P.s. Thank you so much for this video, Prof! I’ve been playing Magic for years and I still only had heard of about half of these!
as a new player of MTG and MTGA i needed this so much, ive seen your work from a couple of weeks ago, and literally everyone (even here in LATAM) has told me to watch your vids for enlightment.. so.. thanks a lot for this proffessor, great vids btw.. outstanding job.
If you ever want a laugh the Prof also has MTG comedy videos called Office Hours where he talks to legendary characters from the story of Magic, my personal favorites are Teferi and Professor Onyx.
@@aceundead4750 lol i definetly will bro, thanks. i was introduced to magic "art style" when i was i little man, 20 plus years later, it will become a huge hobbie haha.. ill check the Office Hours vids bro thanks again
Yesterday I literally watched your older video of this several hours before this upload. I was saying to myself, "I wish he'd update this." Thank you so much Prof
I remember way back when you first made an online resources video for MTG players. It was one I would go back to frequently, so I'm stoked to see an updated list!
I dont know if content creators ever check comments on old videos, but incase he does, thank you Professor for being so helpful and making videos that are easily digestible. You really helped me as a life long yugioh player, get into magic and understand the game well!
As a primarily competitive player, i have been using mtgtop8 for 10+ years to find decks and learn metagames. Their tournament results show level of competition for the event in 1 star for low level/online league events, 2 stars for regional events, and 3 stars for events like gps/pro tours.
Excellent video!!! I knew many of them already but there were a couple I will surely check out now!.These kind of videos are great for the community. Thanks for the sites Professor!
I play proxy commander with my play group, and I use Mtg-print to print out my decks. It has a visual set selector (compared to edhrec with only a drop-down selector) so I can see what each set looks like for a card. The PDFs you download from it are print ready as well. Highly recommend.
After bouncing around many proxy sites that one is the one I liked the most. Also note that mtg-print is different from mtgprint, the first one has better overall image quality and a little support of languages other than English
I use MTGlands when trying to find good lands and all for my decks. It breaks them down by shock, bonuce, ect. They also have a filter option where you can select what lands you need for double color, or the new triple color lands.
Unfortunately that site hasn’t been updated in a long time, it doesn’t have anything after Ixalan block. So no triomes, none of the new gates, none of the pathways, none of the artifact or snow duals, etc.
Thanks for the video professor. My first full video back after taking a break from magic for awhile. Although magic does change all the time one thing doesn't which is how helpful your videos are
I always go to EDHREC for ideas on a new deck, pick one, then see all the cards highly used, and then I finish it off by finding similar cards using scryfall. I build the deck in Moxfield
Just a quick thanks for the work, the old list was invaluable when I started, this is even more complete and invaluable for any type of player you might be but especially for new / returning or unplugged player that never thought too much about the availability of such ressources. Thumbs up prof, keep up the good work.
The Phone App Manabox is absolutely incredible and constantly improving. I use it as my defacto deck list/builder. I can be bored at work and do deck changes. The person who runs it is also really cool and open to entertaining new features and genuinely a pleasure to deal with. The app is ever evolving and I hope to hear other's success with the app!
Commander Spell book is another great resource. You type in a card and it will give you a list of the possible combos with it. You can even filter by different requirements to fit your deck!
Was cool to see Larry's Game Store pop up when talking about CFB. Since my old LGS closed down, it's the closest store to me. It's only been open for a little while, but it's growing. It's nice to have a LGS again.
I'll also say that in terms of selling cards, Card Kingdom was by far the easiest and highest return method! I recently sorted my binders and sold the stuff I really didn't care to CK for almost 200 dollars. I did spend $10 to safely ship them the cards, so it's more for when you're selling in bulk!
I can't be the only one using Deckstats to track collection and make decks? It's free, rather simple to use, feature heavy, for example just typing Ally shows all cards with Ally in their name, Subtype, and most importantly text (like Reteat to Emeria, Oath of Gideon, Captain's Claws, Join the Ranks, March from the Tomb, Gideon Ally of Zendikar...) Clicking on any of the cards you can go to Scryfall or Gatherer entry for it from pop-up window. Also allowing you to customize columns you'd like your collection to be shown with. I also use it for trade lists, since your collection can use columns from variety of places to show you average costs of cards (or Price Trends), including Card Kingdom, TCG Player, Card Market, as well as Cardhoarder for MtGO. Also able to use version, foil, language, set, condition and comments (kinda useful for damaged/stamped/signed cards). Deck building allows you to use "Normal" cards, or "All" to build decks with Silver bordered cards, and it also features online only cards, for MtGA or MtGO. It allows you to build decks with cards from all MtG cards, or one of your collections, for example I have my main Collection, with 18k+ cards, and Commander Collection from where I'm deleting draft chaff, and cards I'll never run in a Commander deck. Deck building also features a "Token" option, which you use at the end of deck building, to search all your cards and suggest tokens you might need based on the cards in your deck (really useful for EDH). Also having feature to use variety of custom sub sections in your deck, like... when building EDH decks I have Main deck (cards which go in it 100%), alt wincon (if I feel like running deck into a different direction), 90% subsection, which is cards I'm still testing out, but would like to put in Main, Remove (really useful for noting which cards I'm taking out of Precons)... and... based on the Commander selected, it will also automatically filter out cards I can't use due to their color identity (tho you can filter however you want on your own too ofc). Deck building also has detailed overview of your deck, prices, mana distributions, mana sources, CMC overview, card type distribution... cards you own, and so on... Starting Hand test, with Draw additional card and Mulligan options. Possibility Overview, Revisions overview (allowing you to compare between each revision to the deck ever made). And EHD Rec suggestions. It also features variety of formats, and shows you issues with your deck, like... have you used banned card in your list, card with wrong color identity, and so on...
I pretty much couldn't make content without scryfall. It's easily the most important site. Second would be mtgpics. Their database of card art is amazing.
I was just listening to this without seeing the video for the first couple minutes, and when the Prof was talking about *THE* MTG database and I felt the pull of Scryfall in my soul.
DelverLense is a great app for your phone. Keep track of your collection and Decks by just scanning your cards with your camera. Also has sections for trades and wants. Overall super useful
Prof what sets you apart is your knowledge and great information you give to the community. Ive been a long time player about found a couple sites very helpful that i didnt know about!
Thank you for the EDHRec recommendation. I'd never checked out their site before, but I just went there and found lots of great card ideas that I had overlooked for my Jaya Ballard & Kemba, Kha Regent commander decks.
16:41 Card Kingdoms prices are often inflated a couple bucks on higher value cards. I still buy from them often enough for the shipping, and when I'm looking for a bunch of obscure old commons and unsummons, having them come in one package is nice.
If you are Canadian and looking for a vendor, Fact-To-Face games in Toronto, Montreal, and online is the way to go. Most LGS's I've been to use their prices as the benchmark for how much a card is worth in the Canadian market. They host conventions and tournaments throughout many of the major cities throughout Canada. While they do have their problems, they are pretty much *the* place to buy magic cards in Canada online.... unless you have a sweet LGS that has an online store. Remember, you might be able to say a few bucks from a bigger store, but that few bucks is going right back into your local Magic community.
Loved the video and learned something new! I do have a suggestion, it's not a website but a very helpful app, Decked Builder. I needed a way to build decks and most of it you can use for free but other features you do have to buy it. However, one of the coolest free options (I think it's still free if they haven't changed it) is to add cards into a deck or library you can scan the card with your phone camera! I thought that part was nifty! You can also search cards and get average price listings for them, test a deck to see what kind of first hand grabs you could get but you also get the stats of your deck like checking your mana curve. It's not the fanciest app but it's helped me keep track of my collection while building new decks.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Flesh and Blood TCG desperately needs this kind of video, especially the site address collation! Anything you can do is appreciated! Even a text file of URLs would be appreciated.
Urza To keep track of you physical collection And also collections of your friends And also prices of you cards And also your decks And also easy to use
Professor, thank you so much for your videos. As a new player they have helped me navigate the endless void (of awesomeness) that Magic the Gathering is. Everything from Deckboxes to this :-) Cheers from Denmark
Is there anything like scryfall but you are able to upload your entire collection and it will only search cards in your collection vs all cards ever made?
I wasn’t sure where to look for singles, my lgs is great but not the best stocked. Hearing that card kingdom is unionized just made the decision for me, always want to support the workers!
My friends and I do weekly MTG games with different rule sets and deck building restrictions. This week is commander with only creatures with a printed power and toughness 1/1. Linking this to them so they can really dig through EVERYTHING.
If rules knowledge, customer service, helping others, conflict resolution and being a pillar of the community is your jam, becoming a Judge may be for you. Head to Judge Academy for the beginning of your journey.
CardTrader is a worldwide marketplace, so NA and EU. Especially with a monopoly in the USA, it's worth it to check it out. I as a EU customer am very happy with the purchases especially using their "Zero" option. With that professionals collect all your purchased cards, check and verify them so they have the quality and characteristics you purchased and after that send them to you bundled in a single shipment.
@@laxbro447 i can understand that, but i really prefer using tappedout as a deckbuilder for some reason. The aesthetic is very different and 'old' but overall I like it for being different than most of the other deckbuilders.
@@Bjoern_1897 If you prefer a higher quality/more modern UX design, and you’re just using those sites for building decks, then yes I agree those are superior. However, I found those sites haven’t (yet) managed to create and foster the type of community dynamics that TO has. So I agree with BruhYouFarted that if you’re looking for a community-driven deckbuilder, TO is still the place to go. TO’s deckcycling and deck feature systems are great for asking attention for your latest projects and getting useful feedback or conversations going. The lack of a similarly strong community features have prevented me from switching over to the alternatives several times.
I still can’t believe Magic the gathering salvation went under. It was such a great forum to chat with people about deck archetypes. Goldfish and Mtg Top 8 are pretty great though to see winning deck types.
TCC has some videos that i use as references and this is one of them. Im sharing this video now and anytime a new player ask about websites or information.
Topdecked is great for card inventories. It is slightly expensive, but if has a great visual card interface. You can create binders and lists, along with decks. Definitely still growing, but worth checking out!
This is quite the coincidence. I wanted to upload my Etali Commander deck onto Moxfield in order to try out it's functions (I've never used it) and opened RU-vid to put on some music while typing in the decklist... and then the Prof released a video about such websites just a few hours ago...
In terms of user interface and general usability I really don't think any other options compare. I love the goldfishing option too that lets you simulate an opening hand. Fun to use on mobile if you're bored and thinking about your deck.
Great video, prof. It'd be awesome if you could make a video about mtg apps. I use mtg familiar and the wotc companion, but there are several other good apps out there.
