Would love to see him playing with Day[9]!

JGL is the man. “Moxes are made to be played, it is a game right”. Much respect to him knowing the true appreciation behind the game.

He's such a blue player. "Yea your deck is fast and probably going to win". *Maintains a deep smile as he gains more board control*

I demand Joseph play in the Command Zone.

This dude is playing moxes and dual lands just like nothing and makes me feel like the game went sick with all these Top 9 madness. This guy was playing pure innocent magic like a pro. Enjoyed watching the game like a kid!!!

I have always loved JGL, but knowning that he is a D&D and Magic player takes my appreciation for him to the next level.

Erika did a really good job. She's very kind and engaging. And JGL comes across as very genuine and warm. Cool to watch, was a great dynamic.

He tapped his Mox Saphire to play a Pirate Ship. This is some serious school-yard magic

When he talks about playing these games as a kid it made me forget he was a child actor for a minute. That kind of shows you the power of these games, if they can allow a kid in that busniess to actually be a kid.

My god she played with his unsleeved mox ruby

Sleepovers, weezer and magic..that's a 90s spell right there!

This is the slowest game of vintage I've ever seen. I love it.

Please god let him be in Critical Role

1. Pulling Mox Ruby out of sleeves and PUTTING IT IN A DECK!!! 2. Playing with liquids ON THE TABLE. Oh that was so amazing and painful to watch at the same time.

JGL for Jace when they make the movie.

It's so cool to see a celebrity like this. He's super cool and isn't afraid to basically what a huge nerd or geek he was and is. It's awesome to know that not everyone famous is so stuck up, and you can really tell that JGL is in his element.

This is the sweetest thing - just seeing JGL reliving all these happy memories and Erika vibing off that. I love it.

I love how genuinely excited and nostalgic he is. Thanks for letting us witness this special moment.

The incidental level of value in his "fun decks" is crazy! So cool to be finding out that such people play Magic

I‘m actually impressed that JGL still knows the ropes of MTG and he has some sick cards!

As a Tim, I enjoyed this episode immensely :)

Please play with and against Day[9]!!

This brought back soooo many memories. I still can't believe I sold all my cards for $250 and a ride home from school for the rest of the year during my senior year of high school. lol

I loved seeing them embrace the nostalgia and the spirit of the GAME over the money. Yesss, unsleeve those moxes, and listen to the sound of control-freak nerd butts clenching and tears flowing free.

Interviewer was fantastic, but I can't help notice they really missed an opportunity not having someone who knows the old decks to reminisce with JGL

Just tell me. What's in the box! WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!

Quality of this content is beyond spectacular. I watch with great pleasure!

I paused just as they drew cards. Absolutely love watching him re-experience this . Command Zone!! Get JGL!

I loved watching him casually tap three dual lands to cast Tim 😂😂

Joe seems like a really genuine person. Super relatable, aside from the rich actor part.

I don’t play mtg anymore, still have my cards. But this is invoking a lot of nostalgia and reminding me of what I love about magic. Not just the old school artwork and card style, which I adore, (the creepy crude artwork is what mtg is meant to be for me) but it was all about being creative and trying out decks that you didn’t know would work or how they’d work. I think the charm of it has been killed for me a bit with web deck building and the over the top themes and crossover stuff. Each to their own, however, for sure. This is such a lovely watch.

Incredible video, I took so much from it. More like this please. I learned that eye contact does not have to be scary and that it's okay to look away.

Stellar interview again, Erika, well done! :)

Where is SEAN!?

Neat! Stoked to see Erika in a video, as always, and it was magical seeing Joe reminisce about his early days of D&D and Magic.

I love this, seeing these old cards just reminds me of when i was younger, sitting at the table n watching n learning to play magic with beta starters, then finally buying in when urzas saga released.. alot of nostalgia

What unique person, Joseph! Last year he was on Bear Grylls, now playing Magic. Pretty cool dude!

I remember making what I thought as good decks, but then all my friends beat me up everytime. But I guess that is part of the learning process.

Wow, what an amazing video. Really was a magic moment. We totally did not even know that Joseph Gordon-Levitt played magic! Thanks so much for capturing and sharing this, G&S!

Loved the “pinger” Tim deck!!! This was awesome!!! Thank you both.

Don't get me wrong, this video and interview are great but sean/day{9} better get to play with him in Spellslingers.

“So we just appeared?” Looper lol

OMG!! Taking me right back to the mid and late 90s with these decks. Perfect!

This was so much fun to watch! :D Thank you!

What the hell happened to Sean huh?

I have an incredibly profound new respect for JGL now. I've always loved the guy anyway. Because we literally grew up together. In a metaphorical sense anyway. Our age is only a couple years apart and I grew up watching him on a show that is still one of my favorites to this day. I, of course, speak of 3rd Rock From The Sun. And to now know that during that time of his life, picturing him backstage between takes on set building and working on decks. Playing games. I have new respect. I wanted to be him as a kid... You rock, Joey G.L.!! 🤣 And there's definitely a difference between bury and remove from game. Bury is just an OG term for destroy, which just means the card goes to the graveyard. Remove from game is an OG term for exile. Which means it is removed altogether from game unless a card can specifically return another from exile. Now I want to know what his argument was and if he was really correct. 🤟🏻🤣

love this episode. this took me back to my childhood with seeing all his cards being played.

Oh! please, we want those deck lists! amazing video

This was adorable and made me love JGL and Erika even more than I did before

Nightmare! Amazing. I was a black player in 95 and it was my favorite at the time since mono color was the norm with my group.

I used to play with all those old cards. This really takes me back... Great video!

i started playing around the time revised came out. this episode was a pure nostalgia overload for me, so awesome to see all the old school cards and artwork again. i even had my own tim and artifact decks that were pretty similar to the ones used here, although without the moxes.

I’ve always liked JGL, awesome the learn he has a history with magic!

😍😍 for both of them!

I played alot of Magic when I was a teenager, back in the late '90s. Haven't played actual Magic for almost 20 years now... I forgot about most of those cards, this video brought old memories back to life!

I love her energy! As a new MtG player, I also, contrary to popular opinion, like the older decks with a new player. She seemed more interested in their abilities than their monetary value. Joey GL, excuse me, Mr. Gordon-Levitt is awesome for opening up and sharing his past with everyone.

Joseph needs to be in Game Knights for a nice game of Commander! I’d love it

And a Mox Emerald on the first page :D

Wow! that was the coolest thing i watched since a LONG WHILE AGO! Thank you guys bringing the show, thank you "Joey GL" for you being... you know... yourself! That was awesome and refreshing, definitely made my day :)

I don't even play Magic but this makes me want to go back to the building deck days in TCG! Having binders full of your favorite arts on the cards and trading back and forth was the best!

Meta flashback. Oh man I laughed pretty hard when he looks at the deck and says "Yah... Not the... Not the riffle shuffle..." 13:40

Bruh he brought out the Mana drain deck against aatogs that is so rude XD

It’s amazing that so many actors are nerds at heart! And they play D&D and Magic the Gathering!!!

Awesome video. Thanks so much.

I think she had lethal, when he was at 10, she could have sacked 3 artifacts. made the 3 attacking atogs a 3/4, 4/5, and 3/4/ = 10 damage that he had to take to his face.

You can tell he really liked that deck from all the great lands and support cards he had in it. OG duals and Demonic Tutor! MANA DRAIN! I wonder how much that cost in the 90's? That Atog deck was pretty cool. I know they weren't playing to win, but I think Erika probably could've won with some creative artifact munching. By the end, it looks like she got unlucky in drawing too many mouths to feed!

It's nice to see someone beside Day9. Really enjoyed the episode!

Nice to see another well known celebrity who has his roots in d&d and magic! I always liked him as an actor, but it's refreshing to see him act like a kid again with his nostalgia over his "nerdish" past. Great video!

"I did have a really good Big Black Deck' for awhile.

Someone seriously needs to introduce JGL to the Old School format

I love his decks! This gives me nostalgia of going against these kinds of decks. This is an awesome episode!

Watching Joseph Gordon-Levitt pilot an old school Esper deck full of dual lands, Moxen and a bunch of pingers.....AWESOME! I wonder how much that deck is worth all together.

First time seeing your channel and I would like to point out how fantastic the conversion was and well Erika carried herself throughout. Very comfortable and relaxed - by the way I'm just pointing out what made this that much sweeter to watch and enjoy, so thank you. According to the comments "someone was missing" but in this case I think you were the perfect person to host with Jo and ultimately the one that got me to sub. This is why I've always been a fan of JGL. I have a lot of respect for someone who doesn't act like they know s**t but actually has the knowledge without pretending. People forget to rather ask the questions and use it as a conversational tool when talking with someone knowledgeable on the topic. While I haven't seen any in these comments I would like to say that people should always be inclusive of their hobbys, etc. Never criticise someone who doesn't know or gets it wrong. A lot of people will rather be a d**k and end up pushing people away from that thing because they feel their knowledge makes them superior. Anywho, great work and I look forward to continue watching this channels content.

He just let her put an unsleeved Mox in her deck and play with it. Meanwhile, the only guy I know who has Moxes freaks out if you breathe too closely to them and he would probably straight up murder you if you even thought about removing them from their sleeves.

Oh MAAAAAN, you know what had me all nostalgic in this video? Erika talking about learning Magic on stream! I still have HydroSnail in my Steam friends list from back in the day :) It was so much fun watching her learn, and learning alongside her.

I wasn't expecting that. Pretty sweet to see some vintage stuff out. Very cool.

That moment when you discover a famous celebrity that you admire is into the same hobby as you - see also Vin Diesel

great video :-) the beautiful Erika really did a great job.

This was so fun to watch!

I wish I still had all my old stuff!!! This was amazing seeing these cards and jgl playing magic it was great!!

Those plays tho that mirror universe came in clutch

Bro the landbase is so expensive holy shit. Not the mountains but tundras and seas my God.

I know the deck is too old. But watching their games it's so satisfying. Its so happy and joy with it

What an amazing video and truely magic moment..! You definitely earned my sub big time with this video single-handedly. Keep it up! PS: Huge kudos for just playing that Mox unsleeved. Magic cards are meant to be played indeed and imo those Moxes should've reprinted a long time ago.

Nice to hear he got a Big Black Deck for a while

Shoulda sac'ed some artifacts towards the end there for the atog buffs ftw.

I know this was made two years ago. But did anyone else notice that amazing shot at 7:45. That shot spoke so much about him.

for a player from the 90s this is a pure hit of nostalgia... all of these cards that i used to play... the familiar art... Back when you would get multiple art for the same card...

This is the content I signed up for. Thank you.

Save for those amazing rare cards, it was so nostalgic looking at his collection as I had so many of the same cards back in the day. I hadn't seen some of them in like 20 years. I think I got into the game about the same time that he did from the sound of it. Such a cool video.

Wow, young Joey knew what he was doing! This was a joy to watch and I hope we get to see more of JGL!

17:39 The Mox is showed to have 2 for its cmc is that an error or am I missing something?

I wanna see Joe Manganiello vs Joey GL in Magic or both of them play D&D

Awesome video - and wow is that an impressive collection, JGL!

Great episode!

I'm a simple man, I see J.G.L. I like the vid

Sean looks a bit different in today's Spellslingers

I'm only 10 minutes in to this video, but I love how much Joey is geeking out.... brings me back... awesome!

This was such an awesome video!

My man crush on him has just evolved into something more
