You know you are a mountain goats fan when you watch JD talk about a card game you will never play and you damn sure dont understand

“You get to take over someone’s creature, hit them with it, and then sacrifice it, which sounds like a mountain goats song”

the names of all these cards are alternate-universe mountain goats song titles

I don’t even play magic and I want more of these so bad. The dad energy on display is impeccable.

So much dad energy! I feel vitalized by this sweet, sweet man.

I really want JD to like be my dad or something after watching this vid, he just has such calming dad energy and while I know absolutely nothing about magic the gathering this was so nice to watch

0:54 Nooooow I have everything I need

As someone who is a fan of both magic and the mountain goats this has got to be the best thing I’ve ever seen.

"cuz i'm COOL" me too, john.

i have no idea what any of this means but you go you funky man

Man the title is misleading. I thought he was gonna play fortnite and say the n word

using act of treason and then sacrificing the creature is definitely a mood

Oh man I want to play magic with JD so bad now just to hear the entertaining things he would say.

OMFG JD is a magic guy.... Makes all the sense though

i thought i already loved this guy now i love him SO much more

What an adorable man

i watched this before i played magic and Now im watching it having played for about a year :'^) it makes sense now

I feel like John plays black blue.

Doing great work as always, West

My boyfriend is trying to teach me this game. Lol. Saw your show in philly! Love you JD! < 333

I didn't know how much I needed this.

John is just my dad but cooler

That moment when you discover your favorite artist/musician/lyricist is also into MTG... Priceless

GOD BLESS JD!!!

MORE. NOW. PLEASE

My sibling's weird creepy friend taught me to play Magic. Great game.

The guys on the twitches, wow

Looking for John Green’s comment.

i wish john my dad

Fuck, a Cavalier is a great draw

I'd love to see some of your favorite cards and hear your thoughts on artwork/flavor text.

Is it weird that I would watch, like, a couple hours of him unboxing cards? Instead of answering that, can you just link me to a bunch of videos of him unboxing cards?

So which is the Protector?

What is John Darnielle's Twitch account?

Ofcourse he plays mtg lol

Alright... who's the one clown to downvote?

Worried a bit about John's skin color here. Either not enough sunscreen or too-high blood pressure.
