Watch The MTV Magic The Gathering Invitational in 1997
In the summer of 1997, the MTV series Motel California shot four videos that showcased the classic fantasy card game Magic: The Gathering. There are four videos for you to watch and their pretty damn funny.
The video aired on TV between regularly scheduled programming and they acted as both ads for the game and an “Invitational” featuring expert players at the time that included Mike Long, Brian Hacker, Mark Justice, and Shawn “Hammer” Regnier.
What makes these videos so amusing is that the invitational is a hip beach setting, with terrible acting for people in attendance who have probably never even heard of Magic: The Gathering before shooting the videos. You know, MTV kind of people.
These short videos are sure to give you a laugh, so enjoy!
