240 Introduction to Magic: the Gathering is a six week course intending to create a framework for new players to learn and enter the world of Magic: the Gathering. At the end of the six weeks, students will understand how to interpret cards, where and how to play, basic interactions, phases of a game, and proper etiquette for Magic: The Gathering.
- Interpreting Cards
FIRST THINGS FIRST: TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN!
As I explain at the start of the video, the CPU in my good computer has, in fact, gone bad. The computer will be good for next week, but until then, I had to make due with a lesser model. This means that this video is MUCH lower quality than I am happy with, and is rather raw in delivery and editing. As such, I ask that you PLEASE email me at Kamarill@ureddit.com if you have ANY questions, as I do ramble slightly.
UPDATE: Apparently, my encoding software has also failed, meaning that the end of this video was cut off. I will finish the lecture below.
There is another type of creature, called Legendary Creatures. Legendary Creatures are similar to Planeswalkers in that there can only be one of each Legendary Creature on the field. So, if I controlled a Legendary Creature named "Legendary Guy", and either you or I were to play (or otherwise create) another creature named "Legendary Guy", both Legendary Guys would go to the graveyard.

FINALLY!
I am SO sorry this took so long! New video this Wednesday!
- Formats
Sadly, my video capture software was chopping off the last three to four seconds of each clip; as such, there is a bit of dead air. Sorry!
- An Actual Game!
It's a long one!
