Ok everyone it is time for another Nitpicking Nerds give away! Make sure you are following this account, retweet and like this post for a chance to win! We will be selecting a winner Wednesday March 22nd!
I didn't know it would be controversial to say "You should tell people before a commander game when you have non-legal magic cards in your magic deck".
We got a few comments like this now. We made no political statements in these tidbits. We said mask are safe, guns make us feel unsafe. We said nothing about political policies or anything of the sort.
I had to ban several people for the Nitpicking Nerds Discord server today over homophobic remarks about the new secret lair. It is insane to me that people find this beautiful and inclusive secret lair even slightly offensive!
On our list of "Favorite Commanders of 2021," Cherries put Halana/Alena as his
#1
, and we discuss the importance of representation in MTG, which naturally brings out the 1% of comments like these:
We believe Benita. MDL's actions were unacceptable and we have cancelled our collaboration plans with IHYD. We respect her and the amount of bravery it must have taken to come forward with this. Believe victims. -Beezy and Joe Cherries
The MTG community is so accepting and loving! My coming out post from today got an overwhelming amount of love and really just made me realize even more why I love this community so much! Seriously thanks everyone for making my day!
We are officially part of the 100k club! Special thanks to anyone who as watched even one of our videos. We love you all as much as we can without making you uncomfortable!
Don't mock other players for playing by the rules. Don't call them rules lawyer for using the rules to do a completely legal play with a card. Be a positive force in the MTG community not a negative one.
At 11 AM EST tomorrow, the premiere episode of Shuffle/Scuffle, our Commander gameplay series, goes live on Youtube! This was approximately a million years in the making so we hope everyone enjoys! -Beezy
Rereading YouTube comments for a video we are making and I really don't get why people have such an issue with preferred pronouns. It is mindboggling to me that something so easy to do causes so many people to get mad.
This is my favorite comment in a while. “I’d better click on this video and comment to let them know I skipped it.”
Side note: highly encourage all creators to make a video with “Typal” in the title to weed out toxic garbage 👌🏻
I will say that is truly hard for me to read the comment section of our videos. I love replying but once in a while someone is hating on me or my pronouns and it leaves me feeling down. I try to just delete the rude comments but I still see them and they still hurt -Cherries
Florida's "don't say gay" bill is so god damn ass backward. I don't comment on politics often but god damn this one hit home for me. If you support this bill please unfollow this account. -Joe "THE GAY" Cherries
As you probably know from our latest video, Joe Cherries has stepped away from Nitpicking Nerds, but I am keeping the daily content flowing! This week is going to be all shorts, but I’m returning with long-form videos (and a new co-host 👀) Monday June 26th!
An announcement: I am stepping up as the new cohost of the
@NitpickingNerds
starting tomorrow, June 25th! If you want to give the channel a sub or like/comment on the video when it comes out, I’d really appreciate it. Link in the linktree on my profile! Thank you for the support!
I don't know how many MTG content creators are editing with premiere pro but if you are than you should 100% be using the MTG Card Helper extension! I seriously cannot recommend it enough! It has saved me infinite time while edit! Link Below!
I am in the opposite boat. I think fetch lands are the worst designed cards in MTG history. NO CAP, as the kids say. They make mana fixing too easy, they provide to much utility at almost no cost and they take so much time. I honestly would ban them in commander! -Joe Cherries🍒
I'm not sure what the exact temperature of this take is, but I LOVE Fetch Lands. They are perfect mana fixers, basically 5 color lands for such a low cost. Plus, I love shuffling my deck, it's something to do while I wait for my turn.
This not a reasonable thing to say to a content creators. For me, Beezy and hundreds, if not thousands, of others making content about Magic: the Gathering is our livelihood. We can't just "stop making content". For most people MTG is just a game or hobby but not for us.
I, Joe Cherries, haven’t had a job that has paid much more than minimum wage in my life. Now as a full time YouTuber I’m still only bringing home like 20k this year but I get to do what I love. Next year should be the biggest year of pay in my life time so that is exciting. 🥰
We're SO excited to announce our
#MTGONE
preview card, it's our first one ever! Biggest thanks ever to
@wizards_magic
!
We built an ENTIRE Commander deck around this card, and you should definitely check it out to see just how much this can mill people👀(link in comments!)
I always want to be pushing positivity in the MTG community. I have been a very salty player in the past and it is something I have worked extremely hard at improving that. I am not perfect but damn am I getting better at taking an L. -Joe Cherries 🍒
I think it is import that you let everyone at the table know that you have proxies in a deck before the game begins. They are not technically legal in commander and any player has the right to not want to play versus them. I have nothing against proxies personally. -Joe Cherries
Someone who is good at math help me! In a 4 player game of commander where every deck has Sol Ring what are the odds that at least one player will have it on turn 1?
I'll let everyone in on a little secret, The Nitpicking Nerds play cards in their commander decks that they have called bad on the channel. Commander is a format where you can play anything you want, even cards you would normally suggest players cut to power up their decks. 💜
This is actually hilarious! I actively thought this was parody when I 1st clicked on it. After watching I still thought it was parody. Only after going out of my way to do research did I see this was real and completely unironic. The anti-cancel culture side sure loves doing it.
A new
#ExtraTurns
is here!
Budget experts Mia & Beezy (
@NitpickingNerds
) join us for a frugal fracas like you've never seen before. In this bombastic battle of high-power but low-cost brews, who can stretch their $$$ the furthest?
Watch and find out:
Thanks to all the loving and supportive people following us on twitter! I was gonna post about the idiots (again) but all of the good people deserve the spot light more! <3
The people in the comment section of todays video are really saying things like "Your feelings don't matter!". Commander is a format all about social experience so how players feel after the game doesn't just matter but it is extremely important.
Magic: the Gathering and YouTube are my passions! I hope that I can continue being a part of this amazing community and making content until I am an old man! -Joe Cherries
Me and Beezy have been provided 2 Force of Wills to give away to the MTG community. We want give them to a player who loves magic but can't afford a FoW. If you know anyone you think deserves the FoW DM us on twitter or discord. <3
Today was an extremely rough depression day for me. I felt both too unmotivated to do anything and upset that I wasn’t doing anything. I basically spent my day in bed. -Joe Cherries
I want to apologize for using the term “bodily autonomy” in a conversation that began with proxy discussion. It was the wrong term to use and I 100% own that. I want to remain a positive force in this community. My discord DM’s are open if you want to talk any further -Beezy
Friday will be a super interesting video for the Nitpicking Nerds. It will be the first Nitpicking Nerd (with no s) video. Beezy is currently sick with covid so I will be going it alone. Get well soon Beezy!
The nerds are adding a Mana Crypt to

We have finally, after serval missteps recorded the 1st episode of gameplay. We had 2 attempts go south but it looks like we finally got the footage <3
My original goal for 2021 was 30k Subs. Which was over double what we started the year with. Almost doubling that number is an amazing feeling. For 2022 my goal is 100k. -Joe Cherries
cEDH players, does Nix see ANY play anywhere?
I assumed it was hot garbage in both EDH and cEDH, since the full list of cards it answers contains at least six better counterspells 😅
