Listen "EP. 32 - Starting with Standard"
Episode Synopsis
Oracle Text:So, you want to learn how to play Magic? We've got the best thing for you! No, it's not a pre-con Commander deck...From the Arena tutorial, to Starter Kits, to playing Standard, constructed formats are a new player's best friend! (In our humble opinion.) Starting with Standard is easier and more comprehensible for players who have not played a game of Magic--with a reduced card pool, overall faster pace of play, and increased focus on gameplay, Standard (and other constructed products) is the best way for new players to learn Magic.Join us today as we discuss the merits of learning Standard, the benefits of EDH (Commander) and its diversity, as well as what makes constructed formats more approachable than 100-card singleton.[ Apologies for the video quality! While our source videos were recorded in 4K, things seem to have gotten a little bit crunchy along the way. We are still testing the waters and doing our best as we transition to a video-focused format, and we appreciate your support as we learn! ]| Music from HitsLab via Pixabay.
