Magic: The Gathering and ProGuides Team-Up For Tutorial Videos

Wizards of the Coast

New players are getting into Magic: The Gathering with Arena, a free-to-play digital adaptation of the best card game in the world but learning Magic can feel daunting to some players.

Now, ProGuides are here to help new players learn. The esports company specializes in creating guides for getting into competitive games such as Hearthstone, League of Legends, and now, Magic: The Gathering Arena.

Today, ProGuides and MTG publisher Wizards of the Coast have announced a partnership. ProGuides plans to release more than 40 video lessons spanning about an hour.

"ProGuides has a really thorough and accessible approach to training players in top competitive games, by the pros. With the recent addition of Magic: The Gathering Arena, we felt this was a great place for our talented pros to share their mastery with those wanting to learn the game or improve their existing skills," a Wizards of the Coast spokesperson said in a statement.

The tutorials start with Sean "Day9" Plott, the YouTuber known for his videos about Magic: The Gathering and other games.

"Day9 is a longtime CCG player and has been making incredible content for MTG Arena," a Wizards of the Coast spokesperson stated. "He has the expertise, passion, and dedication to the game that we feel makes him a strong person to not only represent MTG Arena but to kick off our series.

Here's a ProGuides sample video with Day9:

To access the guides, you have to sign-up with ProGuides but thanks to the partnership with Wizards of the Coast, they're free on the ProGuides website.

"Some of these interactive questions go outside of just text-based [queries]," ProGuides CEO Sam Wang explained. "The questions sometimes are also image-based. So in this case, you would look at a card, and you would click which one is relevant to the answer."

This sounds like a great resource for new players to check out so they can get into Magic Arena.

ProGuides has videos for four other games — Fortnite, League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Hearthstone.
