Top 5 Best Magic: The Gathering Rap Music Videos Every Planeswalker Should Watch
1The Storm by The Gatherin
Did you know that American Magic: The Gathering Hall of Famer Patrick Chapin is also a rap artist?
Back in 2011, Chapin and Bill Boulden (a.k.a. Spruke) formed a partnership called The Gatherin, and launched a rap album loaded with songs about Magic, and the best one is called The Storm, which highlights Chapin's memorable 2007 Magic World Championship finals match against a fellow MTG Hall of Famer Gabriel Nasiff. The Storm made it to the top of this list for having the catchiest hook, and intense verses that only a true Magic expert could spit. Chapin raps about the Dragonstorm deck he used against Nasiff, and how their game went. Although Chapin didn't end up winning the World Championship trophy, this song eternalized that spectacular match. Watch the rap video for The Storm below:
Hottest bars:
Never go against Gaby
In a game of "who's most lucky"
Up two-one after game three,
He mulls to four, insanity
Seemed hopeless for the Frenchie
Developed our mana, when we
Brace for the storm to come, he
Plays Lotus, clocks on three
Two turns before I know he's Going off, suspend Bolt, geeze
Gab knows its time and so he's
Faced to the storm says "go, please"
Time to test my expertise
Rift Bolt, Tarfire, you know, keys
Rite of Flame, Grapeshot copies
Five copies Ignite Memories
Didn't know his cards In the short run
They turned out Five, two, and one
With only nine life Gab looked done
If he hits Ignite Memories
I've won On top of that He had to hit Grapeshot
No more than three Times, not a great spot
This was match that We never forgot"

If you enjoyed The Gatherin's rap song, you may also want to check out their Jace the Mind Sculptor rap:
Hottest bars:
"Tried to tell everybody alive
Buy Jace while he's still twenty-five
Fateseal, Brainstorm, Unsummon guys
Ultimate they never survive
I've been putting protective cases
on hundreds since they had Jace-faces
Four abilities cover all bases
truth is every card game has aces"

Hopefully, we'll see more rap songs with MTG references, and with game's rise of popularity over the years, I'm sure we will get some that will probably make me update this list. Let me know on my Twitter if you discover a new MTG rap song worth including in this list.
