Content

Hey everyone! Andy here. Tonight I am solo streaming for our Pearl Dolphin+ Patrons and probably playing Elden Ring - Crawler Carl Run (although... Hades 2 is eyeing me from the corner of the room...) I wanted to take a moment and post a poll regarding a limited run content type. I want to gauge if people would be interested in learning how to play Magic the Gathering. This would start with explaining card types, walking through the structure of a turn, teaching how combat works, etc. The basics, with a focus on Commander. If enough people wanted/liked it, we could continue with a deeper dive. Ideally, it would be live so I could field questions to make sure people are learning.

That being said, read carefully and vote HONESTLY below, especially if you would NOT like to see this kind of content. This is not a promise to make this content, but to get an idea of what people want so we're giving YOU, the Patrons, what YOU want! Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Thanks everyone, and I'll see you at 7:30pm ET.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. I WANT MTG CONTENT FROM YOU ALL SO BADLY-

Craft_Eledritch

I bought the beginners box but I'd like to learn how to play commander and I don't have anyone to learn with

Vincenzo Schoch

Well it’s time to upgrade my patron so I can watch

HaydenCant

Andy offering to teach us how to play MTG was not on my Avantris bingo card woah

GatrGames

I've learned a little on my own via MTG Arena, but I'd love to learn more

Zer0F00L

For what it’s worth I am ok with dedicated Magic content but I would not tune into this for the simple fact that I do know how to play. So if this goes well (and you could use it as a “hey check out this vid to learn”) and you make more content, depending on source, I may tune in later

KhadaJoe

Magic player here, Magic the Avantris Gathering is something I’ve wanted since the stream y’all played the Final Fantasy precons 🥹

Final Frostasy

I already know how, id probly tune in if u guys ever played commander though

Curious

Please!! Ive been asking people to teach me i want to play so badly. I even asked the discord!

Ace Faeth

Please!! I was at a con recently and was planning on going to a meet up to learn but it got too hectic. I've been wanting to learn for so long!!

Katie Simpson

Disclaimer on my "no" vote: I almost never catch stuff live anyway, so it's not like this would pre-empt anything I wanted more in a given time slot. I have enjoyed your tutorial moments in sessions like 13 Beers and Dust to Damnation.

Brian Thompson

I did not imagine eying was spelled that way

bobshigity

I already know magic but would still tune im to watch

Courtney Sylvia

I wouldn't need to learn how to play but would still be interesting in watching content like this 😊

Corvin

I love playing MTG and would love to see y'all's commander pod games 🥹

Jenna Barry

This would be sooo cool and give me another reason to support my local gaming store 😁

Justin Duell

I only put I would not watch magic the gathering content because I had a roommate that wanted everyone to play and participate in the game, and as a good friend/ roommate doesn't participated. The problem was he'd get genuinely angry and upset if you started to win against him at all which totally ruined the game for me. I get being competitive but talking down to someone and holding a grudge because they're winning against you is where I draw the line. No hate for the game itself just no desire for anything to do with it. The art work is absolutely amazing tho. Hope this reaches you well Andy, keep up the amazing content regardless.

Standard

much yes, would enjoy. such wow

Brian Thompson

I'm completely green but we could gather a group of patrons and learn/play on table top sim

CaitSith14

One of my friends gifted me a MTG Commander deck for a birthday gift. They offered to teach me how to play but I’m interested in understanding the basics at least before trying it out with them. They’ve been playing since the 90s and tend to hyper strategize/min-max/break games just because they are smart enough to do it when we’ve played other games before, so I’m a little intimidated.

kensora1

I loved the one MTG stream I caught. Would love to see more honestly. Was just a chill time and fun to watch.

Yugi._.kun

My bf would dig it if i learned 😆

Lord & Lady Deathstrike

Also if you are taking an suggestions on the game, I do really enjoy watching you play Elden Ring 🤘 😁

Vincenzo Schoch

Oh hopefully! I’m talking in terms of watching the crawler Carl run! But I would hope it goes to everyone!

Nade

While I'm already familiar with the game and have been playing for years, I would still love to see MTG content from from you all - tutorials, game nights (whether it's in-person or digital with drafts, commander/Brawl, etc), deck 'tours', really anything you guys would like to do! And I think starting with tutorials is a great idea because it can help non-MTG people in your channel learn how to play if they're interested in tuning into that kind of content, or if they're just curious about the game in general.

bulbabum

I already know how to play, but I will never say no to MTG content

James Bielski

I play mtg regularly and I would love to see what kind of decks you all would play

HannahJF

Been wanting to learn to play MTG and got a beginner box but I just haven’t had time since my wedding is in a month! This would be great!

Amanda Panda

I don't know a single solitary thing about Magic the Gathering but I would happily watch a tutorial on how to paint your bathroom if you guys put it out. So I will watch this as well, and maybe learn something even.

Natalie Gifford

I would LOVE to learn! This would be so exciting

Archer2235

I feel a little better saying I wouldn't want to watch this content seeing how many other people saying they will. I have tried, but I do not care for MGT. I got friends that play but I have no interest.

Mykayla Harris

I have had a similar experience and preference to avoid the topic. Pursue anything you'd like to do of course :) (but if it matters, as a Diamond scarab I will not be tuning in to MTG content).

SassMasterJM

I like the idea of learning how to play in a way that I don't feel like a dummy and can learn on my own time as well as having a repository of help that isn't written/presented like I'm the dumbest person on earth for not knowing the simplest skills.

Dangerweiner669

I dare you to teach everyone mono blue for the first commander deck

SassMasterJM

I also like the odea of you guys being able to get together for a game after the lessons are over to show how it works in a larger group setting with different styles and such but I can understand wanting to keep that just for your friends rather than making content about it.

Vylanna

I use to play all the time but before Commanders were a thing. Would love to learn this content.

Alexis

I used to play decades ago and I'd love to see what's changed! But istg if you guys get me back into collecting 💸😭

Aurora Michelle

I have been wanting to learn for ages and I have been trying to figure out what is going on whenever I am at the bar and my friends are playing but I think it might be better to learn from someone actually decent at teaching, so like you vs my drunk friends lol 😂

Amaronith

💖💖💖💖💖x∞

TarmoGrant

Would love mtg gameplay content occasionally, but I didn't vote since I already know how to play and probably won't watch a full beginner level tutorial.

Echos_in_the_Dark

I'm not sure I would ever play MTG but I never thought I'd ever be interested in playing DnD yet here I am haha. I have a very small deck of cards an ex gave me like 20 years ago so it would be neat to pull it out and learn about it a bit. :)

Atlantis

This would be great! My husband plays but, bless him, he's trying to teach a total newbie with like years of experience

Cobalt Bluewaters

I’ve been wanting to learn MTG! I bought the Ninja Turtles precon commander deck cause I’m fan of them, but I have no idea how to play!

Silly Sunny

I definitely won’t be able to watch live bc of where I live but I’d definitely watch it because I really want to get into magic and idk where to start

I.am.shane

Been a mtg player for years and always enjoy seeing people play.

Xylily

as someone who's been a TO for multiple MtG tournaments, i would love this content and would absolutely tune in (pearl dolphin)

Linguist

I would love a video about MTG just out of curiosity but I won't be able to watch it live due to time difference. Of course I'd make sure to catch it afterwards!

MaDoRoMi

tbh I'm not a card game dude, but I'd be interested in just hearing how magic works and hearing you talk about it since its always been kind of fun whenever it did crop up anywhere else because of how passionate you clearly are Andy

Singular_Cheezit

I just started picking up mtg, it’d be awesome to have some examples to pull practice from!

Fulcrum2077

I know I get obsessed too fast but I have been interested in learning about mtg

The_Prisim_Constellation

Every time you guys bring up MTG I get so invested. I've been playing since I was a kid and my Dad taught me. I'd enjoy watching even though I already know how to play. I'm only Golden Monkey teir though.

MarbleKingCB

Does this include the universes beyond? I never really gave the game much thought until FF and Doctor Who sets were dropped!

Jennderqueer

Caveat to my no vote. I have no interest in mtg but a) I am susceptible to fomo and b) I would probably put it on anyway lol

Rize_to_Fize

Please!!!!!!! We need this content

Andrew Brookshire

I've been playing mtg for years, but I would love to see y'all make content geared towards new players! I feel like that is something that has been lacking in the MTG content creator area.

Watchmaker101

I would desperately like to see this! Specifically what you think would be good day one fun and learn commander pre-cons! Thanks John Eldencrawler🫡

Phobos

Plsss Andy teach us! (I kinda want to know how to make my own decks 😔)

Mr. Bubbles

My question is what version of MTG? Commander is the most popular from my understanding?

Kenvash

I've been wanting to get back into mtg for a while. It's been a long time since I've played. This would help a lot.

artandsandwiches

Tbh I don't known if I'd be interested in learning magic but more content for the patrons is always nice

Em

I've been dying to learn how to play commander. I have a very rough understanding of modern, lol

UnicornTownGoingDown

YES!!! I've been saying for a long time that I wanted to learn how to play commander! Bulba taught me a bit at GenCon, but we didn't get to finish the game. 😔

UnicornTownGoingDown

Hekk yeah Cobalt, dope Commander deck! (I don't know how to play, I'm just also a TMNT fan)

Looking 4 ZPM's

I said yes cuz more content and I have only ever played once and that was over 20 years ago 🫥🫨 However, I don't have anyone i can play with so I'm not really invested in it or caring. Id just watch it to watch and wouldn't be sad I missed it if I did and not high up on the list of things to catch up on

nearlytuna

I've been playing standard for years, but I have no idea how Commander works, I'd love to learn!

Samlyd

I fear I would love to learn but I can never catch the lives :((

Fraktal Toybox

I ran prismatic slivers back in the day playing modern rules in 2016, so a refresh and catch up on what’s hot and happening now would be amazing

Dice Queen Kululu

What was the first set of magic cards you purchased?

contra

I actually started learning MTG in January because y’all made it sound fun- I’m still very much a newbie though and I’ve only played standard so I’d be interested in this

Pep

I feel like if I have a free evening, I might tune in to watch just to get a little bit more knowledgeable about MTG. But other wise I wouldn’t go out of my way for it

nglb999

I was just in a shop yesterday and we were yapping about mtg. I know *not a thing* but found something interesting and worth while, I guess lol

DB Coopstar

If you’re new to MTG, try arena for free and the game will let you collect packs by doing daily quests. I’m excited to learn more from Andy!

An_Anonymous_Panda

I set up a beginner magic night at the store I manage hoping I would get to sit down and learn how to play! Still hasn't happened yet, but hopefully soon!

sampleelee

I already play MTG quite frequently, but I'd love to see how it's approached here!

LowerValleyCryptid

I've got a Belio deck that I've just kept as a decoration until I got the will to learn to play MTG, and this MIGHT just be the motivation I needed

Kira

Ill say this - although I wouldnt jump in for this, I am 100% here for you doing it. I love games like Magic and honestly just dont have time myself, so getting myself into a hyper fixation isn't a good idea. But I love to hear you talk about it and would heartily support that as patreon content!

Kaira Harmonia

Andy has a way of explaining things that makes things make sense to those who need clarity questions because he clarifies as he explains. He could teach me anything and I'd learn.

May Rose

i have been meaning to learn how to play MTG anyways, so getting the info from my favorite internet guys would be cool
