Turning Yu-Gi-Oh Cards into Magic the Gathering Cards with  

What is this? A crossover episode?

Do this again. I want to see the professor light up when he realizes pendulums are artifact creatures, followed by the pain from realizing they can't freely swap modes.

Easy way to explain an extra deck, it's like having 15 commanders but they don't return to the commander zone unless they would be returned to the library .

I find it funny how the prof failed to connect that Evenly Matches is litterally just a weirdly worded Ballance (Magic the gathering card)

I always love when the professor guest stars, he's clearly having fun.

My grade for the professor, as a vet of both games, is a 7/10 for results but a 10/10 for effort. You could feel the smoke coming off of his brain.

The reason it states, "after this card resolves" is because it doesn't apply if the card is nagated.

The keyword is called Provoke btw. Provoke lets the attacker pick what's blocking it. it's an old dead keyword, but is actually critical in explaining combat for a yu-gi-oh to magic translation.

Fun little trick I've learned to translate between YGO's ATK, DEF, & Life Points and Magic's Power, Toughness, and Life is to contextualize that YGO players start with 8,000 Life Points and Magic players start with 20 life. If you divide each by 20, then that equates to 400 Life Points roughly equaling 1 Life. Using this, we can equate roughly that 3,000 ATK Points is 7.5 Power, so either rounded up or down to 7 or 8 Power respectively. Doing it again for 2,400 ATK Points gives us exactly 6 Power.

Uh…did they get Talent wrong? Wouldn’t it be if your opponent used an activated or triggered ability of a creature and not if they cast a creature?

Ash Blossom is pretty simple, "Counter target spell, target activated ability, or target triggered ability that allows your opponent to search their library." The "send to GY" wording is tricky but the card's intention is to stop tutors to the GY, since it's the second hand.

"My biggest obstacle is going to be just reading the Yugioh card" ONE OF US ONE OF US

For Ash Blossom, it's ability could probably be formatted as a channel effect like the cards from Kamigawa. Especially fitting, as the card is based on the Japanese folk tale "Hanasaka Jiisan". The girl in the art references the dog's spirit that speaks to it's owner in their dream, and when first introduced Channel was a Spirit exclusive ability.

Damn; I remember you guys talking about this concept back when you had the Prof rate how good cards are; I legit thought you'd just forgotten about the idea XD

A general comment here but I'm so glad different tcgs are co-mingling a lot more nowadays and we get fun collabs between us all. The companies might be competition but it doesn't mean we shouldn't be friendly and share ideas

*So I have to ask our Magic the Gathering players in the audience: would YOU play these Yu-Gi-Oh the Gathering cards if they were real?* 👀 ⚔ Thanks to the Professor for his help! Watch us play Commander with him here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-exV3pXeNcwE.html ⚔ All of our MTG videos with the Professor!

8:57 I think the closest mechanic to trap cards in MtG is actually foretell, not morph. Morph cards get treated as creatures by default (or, in the case of stuff like Cryptic Coat, turn other cards in your library into creatures), iirc, and that isn't the case for trap cards. There are a number of traps that summon themselves as monsters, but it's not an inherent property of the type. Of course, the big difference with foretell spells is that you exile the spell instead of leaving it on the field, so it's not vulnerable to removal like trap cards are. And morph cards do share that vulnerability with trap cards.

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for Endymion the Mighty Master of Magic to make an appearance

For Loot, I think it'd be more like a Diamond Dude situation: "Banish cards from the top of your Deck equal to the number of monsters you control with different types. During the main phase: You may apply the activated effect of 1 card banished by this card's effect this turn."

I could see Ash Blossom be a 4 cost with the Archive Trap alternative Mana Cost of "If your opponent searches their deck, mills one or more cards or puts a creature on the battlefield from anywhere except their hand, you may pay 0 instead of this spell's mana cost" to counter target spell or triggered ability

Funny how borrel sword doesnt make sense since its making an attacking creature block it... I think it means "when this attack, taget creature blocks this creature if able" or "when this attacks this creature fights Target Creature"

Ash Blossom could have resembled Saiba Tresspassers from Magic, with the Channel ability. It's a creature by default, but you can discard it to tap 2 creatures, for a lower cost than the creature itself.

Ash Blossom would read: Discard this card: Target spell or ability can’t cause its controller to search their library or draw cards. Also she would be a Spirit. Yugioh doesn't have Spirits as like a standard creature type, but Magic does, and Ash Blossom is clearly a Spirit.

This was a really fun idea. I'd love to see you guys do more with Prof's ending challenge and turn more MtG cards into YGO cards. There's a lot of fun ideas you could run with from them. If Impermanence was an MtG card, it'd easily go into every deck i ran that had white in it. Cost of 2 to shut my opponent's whole board down? Hell yeah lol.

Alright, now let’s see the reverse

"Where's the mana cost" close up "there is none" Beauty, now I know thee

I thought this was really interesting! I've got 2 variations on the theme that sort of invert this episode: 1) you guys do the porting from YGO to MTG including cost and colors and prof reviews the new MTG card(then gives you an excuse to explain the card to him so you can overcome his old man brain not understanding it) 2) Prof tries to smash 2-3 MTG cards together and convert them to 1 YGO card and you guys review his work(or maybe 1 of the more silly and verbose MTG cards).

Pot of prosperity: Exile up to 6 cards from the top of your deck. Reveal cards equal to the number of cards exiled this way from the to of your library. Put one of the revealed cards into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. You can only play one card named pot of prosperity per turn and you can't draw any extra cards for the rest of the turn.

May as well be that guy because I've had fun doing this in the past: 1) All Triple Tactics effects are in Blue (Vendillion Clique). Honestly, Triple Tactics Talent is just a weaker Archmage's Charm. It'd be a mono-blue sorcery that reads: During your main phase if your opponent activated or triggered the effect of a creature [maybe non-land permanent?] during your main phase, you may choose one of the following (Triple Tactics three effects unchanged) 2) Ash Blossom would be a 0/4 zombie creature for UB with {UB} Discard this card from your hand: counter target spell or ability that would upon resolution either add card(s) from a player's deck to hand, put a creature card from the deck onto the battlefield, or put a creature from a player(s)' deck into the graveyard. 3) Evenly Matched is pretty close to what I would come up with. I'd put it at 3WW for This card can only be activated during the end of the battle phase if your opponent controls more nonland permanents than you [note, if this was made before 2004, it'd be all permanents]. If you control no non-land permanents, you may pay WW instead. Your opponent exiles non-land permanents they control facedown until they control the same number of nonland permanents and spells as you as this spell resolves. 4) Borrelsword Dragon I'd say is a 7/7 for 5RRR and Flying, Trample. Prevent all combat damage this creature would take. 0: tap another untapped creature on the field, then if it is your turn, after this battle phase, untap this creature and there is an additional battle phase. Only this creature can attack during that battle phase. This effect can only activate once a turn and has split second. When this card attacks, you may have target untapped creature defending player controls block this creature if able, and this card gains power equal to half the power of that blocking creature, rounded up. 5) Pot of Prosperity: There is no extra deck resource. The only resource is mana, therefore, I'd essentially give Ponder a kicker. U with a kicker of U. Reveal the top 3 cards of your library. Add one to your hand and put the rest on the bottom of your deck in any order. If this spell was kicked, instead reveal the top 6 cards of your library. You cannot draw cards except for the first one during your draw phase this turn. 6) Diabellstar - Pass, I'm not ready to design around a 6/4 that can be cast for 0 by discarding a card or sacrificing a permanent that then searches for an archetypal instant on entering the battlefield. 7) Infinite Impermance - No notes, except maybe instead of "no permanents" "no non-land permanents" for the free cost. Either works, depends on if you want to push the free cost. 8) Loot as stat-ed would be 400/800, probably EARTH Beast with "During your stand by phase, you may banish cards from your deck equal to the number of card types (monster/spell/trap) face-up on your side of the field. You may summon/set monsters exiled with this effect or activate/set spell or traps exiled with this effect until the end phase of this turn.

Evenly Matched should be an artefact with Flash and: tap to sac; Your opponent sacrifices non-land permanents they control until they control the same amount of non-land permanents you do. Second line below: If this card enters the battlefield while you control no other non-land permanents, it enters untapped.

Surprised for Pot of Prosperity they didn't mention scry.

12:10 that has 3000 atk, which is almost half of your initial life points, it's closer to "7" or "8" power in magic (2 attacks don't kill you, but 3 would unless you gain enough life)

Watching the Professor's mind break over Yu-Gi-Oh is always a treat. Thank you, gentlemen

prosperity would involve exiling companions like Exile your companion You may Scry X where x is the mana value of the exiled companion then Draw 1

The abundance of hard once per turns in YGO translates weird into MtG but isn't unheard of. It's the lack of a mana type resource in YGO that creates a lot of the specific weirdness in stuff like ultra specific requirements or narrow modes. It's interesting to see the rules translated into MtG terms, but DANG they look bad with mana costs.

"Cast this spell only if your opponent has cast a creature card this turn" .and its a sorcery. Maybe im missing something but , outside of flash that couldn't work. When dose your opponent "cast" creatures on your turn.

having these two channels collide is always a treat

I like the idea of Extra Deck Monsters having a clause that says something like "Sacrifice any amount of creature up to [X], it costs 1 less mana to cast for every creature you sacrifice" where X is the amount of material, like for Borrelsword you can sack up to 4. Also my pitch for Borrelsword's effect goes something like "Split Second, 2 red : Tap target untapped creature, Borrelsword Dragon gains Double Strike until your next end step" and "When this creature attacks, it gains X +1/+0 counters where X is half the power of target tapped creature, rounded down", also it has Trample because Yugioh

When Prof said "once per turn seems like it's unnecessary" Oooh boy 😂 probably just referring to magic, but I found it hilarious.

I love that Ash blossom is completely unplayable as a monster, but literally just as powerful as a hand trap, being completely costless to discard and negate something.

A Magic and YGO collab at some point where magic prints some YGO inspired cards and vice versa would be so cool and probably get alot of hype for both games. But probably never happen with all the copyright and legal stuff

Fun video! My two cents... In general - The "you may only play one card with this name" condition doesn't really need to be on any of these MtG cards, because the mana cost is already a limiter on the number of each one you can play. Also, Magic always templates its cards for multiplayer, so nothing should say "your opponent" assuming there's only one. Triad - Should cost less, since it's so conditional, but otherwise fine. Ash Blossom - It doesn't make sense to just be a "discard this card and get something for free" card. The discard should have a cost of its own. Hand trap monsters would probably have Channel, where you pay a mana cost and discard the card to do some effect. Evenly Matched - Instead of casting from the graveyard, it should just reduce the casting cost. The point of that effect in Yugioh is that it gets "faster" to play if your field is empty, so the most fitting way to do that in Magic is lower the cost. Borrelsword - Split Second is only when the card is cast, so it should probably have an effect like "this card's activated effects can't be countered". The effect also doesn't make much sense since your opponent's creatures won't be attacking during your combat step. It should be something like "When this card attacks for the first time each turn, you may choose an untapped creature defending player controls. That creature blocks ~ this turn if able. If it does, ~ gains piercing this turn. Then, untap ~, and there is an additional combat phase this turn in which only ~ may attack." Pot of Prosperity - The Professor was mostly right here. MtG uses the sideboard in the same way Yugioh uses the extra deck for things like Lessons and Wish cards. There's also the Attraction deck and Contraption deck in formats where those are legal. So I think Pot of Prosperity would exile cards from the sideboard unless it's made for a format where Attractions/Contraptions are legal and would hit one of those decks instead. Diabellestar - "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may discard any number of creature cards from your hand. This spell costs {B} less to cast for each card discarded this way." It's also missing creature types... Human Warrior? Impermanence - IMO, instead of blanking out the effects of all creatures a player controls, I'd have it blank out one target creature and one target non-creature permanent.

All these hand traps have to be like force of will so you don't need lands, otherwise they arent really the same, since you cant use them going second during your opponents first turn of the game Also having an extra deck changes things so much that you cant really convert those cards. Not having to brick on boss monsters and utility cards is a pretty big gamechanger

Finally, Magic Cards are back in Yu-Gi-... Oh

YESSSSSS I'm glad you guys both did eps on your channel! Can't wait to see this one after work too! Love y'all!!

I love these collabs between the professor and team aps. I really hope we get more of them! Maybe the professor playing some GOAT or Edison 👀👀

Another problem is with magic the gathering arena I really wished it was an easier tcg to play on mobile devices when comes to magic the gathering unlike yugioh that already shows that in spades with easy access ability across all platforms

Triple Tactics Talent {1}{u} Sorcery You may cast this spell only if an opponent has activated an ability of a creature during your main phase this turn. Choose one - * Draw 2 cards. * Gain control of target creature an opponent controls until the next end step. * Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a card from it. That players shuffles that card into their library.

I was working on trying to copy the Danger! mechanic. That should be pretty easy to do

I haven't been so excited in so long lol

I think the craziest pattern for online Magic personalities is that very few of them have played anything but Magic

Here's how I'd interpret tuners: There would be creature cards with the keyword "Synchro X" where X is a colorless mana cost. When they are in your Sideboard, you can summon them by sacrificing creatures with CMC equal to X, one of which must have the Tuner creature type. So the simple interpretation of Tuner would just be that it's a creature type like any other.

I love that the Professor accidentally made Triple Tactics Talent a lot weaker, since the steal effect now targets, which eliminates A LOT of the versatility the card has

prof instantly reading TTT wrong xD It would have to say "Cast only if your opponent activated the activated ability of a creature this turn". The card does not say anything about summoning monsters/casting creatures. Also the borrelsword dragon makes no sense. "Choose target attacking creature, make that creature block this card" is absolute gibberish. How is an attacking creature supposed to block? This is a fun idea for a format but there should be atleast a minimum effort put into making the custom card readable and somewhat realistic.

IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS. I recall this being one of the most requested things. Seeing how you could translate them over. Also, this was basically 28 minutes of you all roasting the professor, lol How hard was it to not laugh wherever he went old fogey mode lol

I LOVE the eye roll at 19:30 at prof just pretending to give up for content instead of just reading the text like an adult

Personal attempt at this. Mine are mostly about getting the design to be something that would be printed in MTG. Some of my formatting may be a bit off as I haven't written fan MTG cards in a while. Triple Tactics Talent :1::B::U: Legendary Enchantment When this ETB draw 2 cards. When ever an opponent casts a creature spell during your turn you may exile this. If you do, that opponent discards a card. Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring :1::W: Creature - Spirit Flash Sacrifice this: Choose one. *Your opponents can search their library this turn. *Exile target players graveyard. 1/1 Evenly Matched :2:W: Sorcery Exile a target creature or planeswalker controlled by a player who controls more creatures then you. If you control no creatures, this has flashback :1:B: (the balance might be off on this one) Borrelsword Dragon :2::W::B::R: Legendary Creature - Dragon Indestructible When ~ attacks alone for the first time each turn, you may tap X untapped creatures you control. If you do, ~ gets +X/+X until end of turn and up to one target creature an opponent controls gets -X/-X until end of turn. Then if you control no untapped creatures, untap ~ and you gain an additional combat phase after this one. 4/4 (probably the most difficult to design) Pot of Prosperity 2UB Sorcery Search your library for up to 6 cards. Put one of those cards into your hand and exile the rest face down. Diabellstar, the Black Witch :4::B: Legendary Creature - Human Warlock When you cast ~. Sacrifice a creature or discard a card. If you do, search your library for a spoils card and put it into your hand. Otherwise counter this spell. Sacrifice a creature or discard a card: ~ gains indestructible and hexproof until end of turn. (spoils is an instant and sorcery subtype) 4/3 Infinite Impermanence :W/U::W/U: Instant Counter up to one activated or triggered ability. If you cast during your main phase, instead all creatures you opponents control lose their abilities until end of turn. (I think negate in YGO is closer to counter, but I am not fully sure)

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Gathering 🎴

Always love the APS/TCC crossovers. Two amazing creators and it feels like they always have fun hanging out.

I’m loving you guys teaming up with prof I play both yugioh and magic and it’s been just so entertaining to see this new content from both channels

Yooo, this was an AWSOME video. I love this idea, defiantly leagues above all the (format) player guesses if (other format) card is good. This was so fun to watch. I really hope you will do more like this + the reverse

perfect, I was literally JUST re-watching all the past mtg/ygo stuff you guys collabed on

Always love the collabs with the prof! As a long time yugioh player I finally caved in this year and started to play magic and have been having a lot of fun. Hope one day yall can play a game of magic using the “yugioh cards as magic the gathering cards.”

I love these collaborations with The Professor! Keep them coming 😁

Pretty good. I play both, but I would like to see you guys play a custom game in each of them with the translated cards of your choosing. And it doesn’t need to be restricted to the translated cards either, you can use native cards in each game if it makes everything more smooth.

Loved this episode and the Commander game y'all played. Your first crossover episodes with the Prof are what got me playing Magic so these videos are like candy for me

This is such a good idea for a RU-vid vid, you guys hit gold with this one! Now I wanna see more vids of collaborations with ppl with this same concept, pls do more!

Can you please do this again? This was so much fun to watch, especially since you guys also know about Magic, which made the translations smoother (it would've been a lot harder to watch if there were no translators or people who know both games). Great video!

Love when worlds collide like this, and always a plus when its magic, also extra points when it features tolarian! Great video hope to see more similar to this again!!

Cards are balanced around the restrictions of playing them rather than a mana cost. Using triple tac as an example, it can only be used if your opponent uses a creature ability on your turn as well as being strictly once per turn. Both the activation conditions and limitations of how often you can use the card are how balancing is done when there are no resources limiting you.

I loved this video and the one on the Professor's channel! I love seeing my two favorite card games cross over! I look forward to the next video with Prof

I love every time you guys collab with Prof. Great episode, awesome concept.

I love videos like this, the professor really does have fun with it as do the rest of them

I searched far and wide across the land looking for the perfect sleeves, inner sleeves and deck boxes, spending money over and over trial & error. The professor's channel gave me all of those answers.

Dying that they didnt realize how unhinged a "cast only if your opponent has cast a creature spell this turn" sorcery is 😂 great video concept 👏👏👏

For a direct translation on Loot: When it's talking about card types for loot it would be more like Ordeal of the traveler: Your opponent chooses 1 random card in your hand and calls the type of the card (Monster, Spell, or Trap). You'd banish a card for each of the types between monster, spell and trap.

Name: Borrelsword Dragon Cost: 3rrr Legendary creature - Dragon 7/7 Key words: convoke(becuase its a link monster) indestructible double strike provoke Triggered ability: When this creature is blocked it gains power equal to half of each blocking creature's power (rounded up)until end of turn.

I love your collabs. They are fun and inspiring for ideas. I wanna see them in a commander game with the professor. But keep up the content. Appreciate both parties as someone who plays both card games

This is such a cool video concept!! I‘d love to see more in this style

Great video guys, as a fan of card games in general these are the videos I get the most out of. I hope you get to make more TCC crossover content again soon.

This was a fun video I hope you make more of these in the future. It would also be cool to see you turn more magic cards into yugioh cards. Its always awesome to the see professor guest star.

I haven't played Yi Gi Oh since I was 11 (I'm 31) and I don't even really play Magic anymore, but I'd absolutely watch this if this was a regular series. Hearing the Professor and the Team discuss the different design landscapes of each game while trying to figure how to convert the cards was a blast to listen to. Thanks for the video, it was really fun!

This video is so much fun! And it looks like you guys and the professor are having fun too wich is always a treat.

This was such a fun watch, i hope you guys keep teaming up. Keep em coming please!

These are great. Would love to see more!

I love seeing you guys collaborate with Prof, and I'm super excited to see you all finally play some magic!

I want that be a series! Need more of that!

i love how none of them noticed the connection between the first card being a sorcery that can only be cast if an opponent cast a creature this turn. It can only be cast if your opponent has flash.

Love these collabs! Going to enjoy the Commander video over a meal later! It's the format that may get me back into Magic at some point.

This was one of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. I LOVE this type of content with card games. I want more! Make Magic cards into Yu-Gi-Oh! Make Pokemon, or even Digimon into Magic cards, and even Yu-Gi-Oh! I saw someone on youtube make Megaman Battle Network into a Yu-Gi-Oh archetype, and I loved it! I could watch this for hours, just to try out the cards in proxy decks. Make more! Please!

This is a cool concept! Would love to see more of this collab!

This is amazing as an idea, I hope it catches up with other "magic players interact with yugioh" youtubers cause its so cool!!! I want to watch this sort of video all day!

I loved this i think you did a good job. Something like this has always been something ive thought about and its cool seeing you guys do this

Aww was really hoping to see Nirvana High Paladin. Excellent video as always, the Professor is the perfect gateway into Magic, as thanks to your last vids it prompted me to start looking at the game myself.

This is an awesome idea for a video! I love taking cards from one game and translating them to another. I also think this sure does beat the tried and true "X game player rates how good Y game's cards are" format in terms of originality.

This is a really fun and engaging concept! I really hope to see more in the future!

I'd love to see more of these!

Great video! I love this cross game unique perspective.

@2:46 Minor correction, but it should actually say: Cast this spell only if your opponent used a triggered or activated ability of a creature card this turn. By doing what the Prof said, allowing you to cast it if a creature was played, you make it more powerful than the YGO card, which can only be played in response to monster effects.

i love these collabs - its funny to see how yu gi oh and magic connects
