"Let's just start"

for some reason this actually works pretty good

MtG is very much a "you had to be there" kind of game imo. I play weekly, and I love it, but the moment someone starts describing their build or whatever, my eyes glaze over.

Yes, top down explanation of the game is the best: this is how you win, this is how you get there, this is what you do on your turn, etc. so many people try to explain a game starting with what you do on your turn and the player doesn’t even know what their goal is.

The other great tip I've learned (for games and life) is explaining the rule before the exception.

Let people mull around the usual way things go for a bit before introducing all of the instances where things don't.

this should be the meme

The entire game is them explaining the rules tutorial style… and the next time it’s a different, totally new game instead of the same one twice.

that quote lives rent free in my head all these years later

That's why I draw the line at UNO (ok, with the exception of Gwent).

Quite sure that's a pretty common symptom of being human.

Everything is a symptom of ADHD these days.

I have adhd, I'm the one reading the rules to explain others how it works

Yeah, I just can't. Board games/table top games are a huge no for me. I get frustrated and bored, and I am a whole lot of not fun when I'm either of those things. (So I just avoid them and everyone benefits)

So I have 13 or 3 – I’ll stay.

My sweet child discovered this game on the Internet and demanded I play "52 pickup" with him.

I had him explain the rules. The I asked him to simulate it. He throws all the cards down... One giant pile. Then picks it up again.

I love this kid so much.
