@@SirNarax alle creatures power and toughness are real numbers, with the expetion of Infinity Elemental. Definde that one creature, an x/y, is "bigger" than an other creature, a n/m, if and only if (x>n and y>m). since 2>1 is a 2/2 bigger than a 1/1. Must be 2>1 since 1+1*1=2, notes 1 is differnet form 0. To see 1+1*1=2, defind the natrule numbbers form 1 and the following function s, and definde + and * recersive . So yes i am sure.

Mix slivers in with elves its... Interesting. Kinda turns into an omni deck if you have mana slivers.

Framerate drops but still great content. Tolarian Tutor, and accessories/supplies reviews are the reason I subscribe to this channel. Keep up the great work, Prof.

Professor, this is the single best content on internet to improve magic skills. The clarity and structure of your videos are amazing. Keep it up!

Good job professor, no more 10 fps zooms. Now i can get back to watching the last 4 minutes of the episode. (There’s still a couple close-ups where the framerate drops, but the majority is fixed)

Another fantastic episode! I'm so grateful for this series, great job Prof and team!!! :)

Thanks for this video! I stayed playing last year so these easy to understand explainations of the game have really been helping me improve my deck building!

This is the quality content that got me back into MTG when I started watching your channel a couple years back.

I really like the format of this series, and i think it does a great job of actually educating.

Gladly re-watching! 😊

This new series of yours is really good and I am excited for the next video.

Thank you for all your hard work to bring such quality content to us. Sorry KZread algorithm screwed over this video. You have a view and like from a faithful patron here.

I would be on the "Advanced" side of instruction, but I still watch the Beginner and Intermediate videos just because Prof is that awesome. Even without a personal connection he would still be among my most favorite channels. Thanks for all the years of hard work!

Thanks Prod for bringing back Tolarian Tutor!! Love this series

Love the video and gained alot of insight on dorks! I would love to see a computer scientist, mathematician, or statistician explain magic from the view of opportunity cost, kill clock, the stack as a FILO stack, and maybe ask if mtga release impacted design to make cards that are easier to program, since garfield was a mathematician.

Prof, you're really on fire lately. Keep up the good work, but take care so you don't burn yourself out. Been seeing a lot of friends dive deep into the work to escape these encroached feelings from the pandemic.

Shitty to hear this vid got taken down before. Giving a rewatch because this is EXATCLY the kind of content I like. Keep up the good work professor.

you asked me to watch and I have watched it was a good video and very informative on the mana curves and how all the interactions between you playing a manadork and how your opponents reactions affect the game and the use of them

I'm so glad this series is back

Love these new Intermediate segments, prof!

Really enjoyed this new type of video. More Tolatian Tutors please 😁😁😁

glad that these tutor classes weren´t around when i played magic with my friends. no one would have thought about bolting my birds and elves. everyone like: "oh, but 3 damage on a 0/1 is waste" and they full and well knew that i played a tooth and nails deck. they always ended up suprised when i reached 9 mana and smaked them with naughty combos. one of my personal favorites: emrakul and hypnox.

That's a quick fix, prof. I'm sure you're feeling self-conscious based on stuff you've said in the past, but only those who saw it know it and we have short memories :)

Just interacting to the video to help the algorithm! Keep up the amazing work!

This is great information , also always bolt the bird, bolt the bird with a passion (or just a regular bolt whatever floats your boat)

Excellent video! Really informative!

Your lessons are a masterpiece!

Little late to the show but I'm just starting to play magic and so far mana dork elves are my favorite so thanks for making this video!

Gosh, I just realized I've been evaluating dorks all wrong. Thanks Prof & Team, really useful content.

Great video prof! Still some framerate issues though. Keep up the cool introductory but informative basic and advanced concepts of magic!

as someone who went to school for art and gallery management and worked in an art gallery your art hanging drives me up the dang wall...

Hey, Prof! As always, great video! I would like to suggest a Tolarian Tutor about Reach Decks. Not decks with creatures that can block as tough they had flying but the old meaning of reach in Magic, before the Keyword was created: the ability of a deck to beat you outside of conventional creature combat. I really like that strategy but we rarely see people talk about it aside Burn decks and it can be so much more interesting when applied to midrange or control.

deathrite shaman is a card i've never been able to believe was printed post 2010. it's practically a 1 mana planeswalker. power level on par with cards like brainstorm and vampiric tutor. absolutely insane card

I love Tolarian Tutor!

Great series make a comeback? Yes, please! :)

Cheers Prof!

I love this series

Thanks professor

The only mana dork I run in my commander deck is the I forget the name but its the one thats 1 black 1 green from ikoria because it can also tap to put cards in your gy. I use him in my Meren Graveyard deck. On a side note I finally got the last pieces to "finish" pimping out the deck as well. Every single card is either a foil or alt art version I really liked that can be the only cards that aren't are my command tower and constant mists because mists has only been printed once anyway lol. I'm waiting for the comander collection green to get that sol ring and command tower tho because the art just goes soooo well with the theme of the deck.

I really like this series. This is what I feel like Tolarian Community College "should" be about. But I understand there might not be as much interest in getting better at magic.

Never before have I heard such a lecture on cetacean genetalia.

Really enjoying these intermediate videos. I miss FNM and if we ever get back to the modern table, I want to be able to play smarter.

I came from the secret lair extra life video. I wanted to comment here how humorous and entertaining your annoyance with the secret lair walking dead is

Will we get another "How to protect your commander" series? I'd love to see your ideas for The Ur Dragon!

Thanks for so much in-depth info for running mana dorks! As a strictly Commander player, I have avoided building and playing Green so far, so not very knowledgeable on mana dorks. Also replying to help you against your video being bombed by youtube.

Hey Prof: I would like to maybe see some of these that are specific to exact (ish) decks. IE: I have a mimeoplasm deck that I built forever ago... and I can never get the hang of what I should be doing. Do I make it mill them and play with their creatures or do I mill myself and just make it all about my grave? Love these kinds of videos too!

classy content as always

After watching some cEDH recently I wondered why tf I'm not running more mana dorks in my decks (often I didn't include any). I have since changed it and honestly them getting killed hasn't really been much of an issue but the upside is fucking huge, definitely can recommend it in a variety of decks!

Dropping my comment to appease the algo-gods! But also, Prof's videos are some of the best for learning how to play and how to grow.

3rd times a charm, KZread can be more of a pain then someone running rhystic studies and smothering tides.

I've played since Alara and this actually taught me stuff I didn't know. Man I suck

Nobody ever srops learning!

My momir vig, commander decks it made up of a ton of mana dorks. Then I just swing wide with a board full of pumped mana dorks. It’s my take on green stomp decks as I seem to have trouble building mono green stuff.

The professor asked me to watch this video so here I am!!!

I play more dorks in Aristocrats decks in EDH like Sek'kuar Deathkeeper, Nethroi, and so on, because they function as acceleration and also as easy death triggers when I need them.

Interesting that 2:12 and 3:03 (maybe more) still have temporary low frame count sections while their surrounding video is fixed.

Watching at your request

Nice tie, prof.

The professor's trousers are colored very similarly to the floor! At one point I thought his torso was floating!

while this is a great and insightful episode for eternal format like Modern and such, I think having a small section for rotating/newer format such as Standard/Historic would help a lot, especially with how huge MTG Arena is at current year and the different scale of power level on the mana dorks such as Gilded Goose or Lotus Cobra compared to Bird of Paradise or Llanowar Elf

I love randomly logging in and seeing something like "uploaded 10 seconds ago". Just good timing and a nice treat to watch. I already know this stuff but I'll still watch haha

Loved it
