Video Transcript

"Hi this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village. Today we're going to be discussing Magic: the Gathering the card game. Now we're going to talk about enchantment cards. Enchantment cards come into play either as, enchanting a creature, a land, or just a standard enchantment, which remains in play until it gets disenchanted. Here we have Telepathy. Which is one of the more common blue enchantments. As you can see here it is actually an uncommon but most players will play Telepathy. It costs you one blue and your opponents play with their hands revealed. Very powerful card. Here we have Underworld Dreams. Which is a very powerful card because it costs you 3 swamps, is a rare, but whenever an opponent draws a card Underworld Dreams deals 1 damage to him or her. During each turn a player may draw a card, which will give people the option not to draw a card so they don't burn a life. Down here we have Fire breathing. Which is another common red card that you will see played. It costs you one red or mountain or circle fire. This is an enchant creature card. Enchanted creature now has the ability; pay one mountain, not tap, pay one mountain and that creature gets 1/ 0 until the end of turn. The final enchantment card we'll be discussing is Fertile Ground. It's a green card. It costs you one and a green or one and a forest. This is actually an enchant land card. Which means when this card comes into play you must choose and enchant a land and it's special ability is, whenever the enchanted land is tapped for mana it's controller adds one mana of any color to his or her mana pool. Which means that land can now become any mana, from white to black. And these are the enchantment cards. From standard enchantment, to enchant creature, to enchant land."
