Awesome as always!
Could you please add the video of this match: Alberto Gómez (Supreme Blue Transformista) - Adrià Moreno (Zoo) ?
Hope you taped that match, very interested in that one.

Keep up the good work :)

/edit: my bad

[Enric]

I really don't see why the Bant Survival player runs his Survival into Daze in game 2. He could have easily waited a turn and be very likely to win the game from there.

The Merfolk player sided away Daze in G2, and the Survival was countered by Force of Will.

Awesome as always!

The game wasn't recorded. I always post all the games I record.

Thanks for watching.

[Felidae]

Awesome videos and quality (reminds me of Evan Erwin from TheMagicShow).
The only thing I'm missing would be a lifecounter of some sort during the match :).

[Waikiki]

I wonder what kind of hands the survival played kept since there was not T1 hierarch action or a fow to their vial. Or did he not play force aswell?

Nothing makes me happier than seeing merfolk get raped.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing merfolk get raped.

This makes me sad, since raping is an act of violence and should not be connected or advertised as something that make whatever parties happy.

I play merfolk occasionally, man :(

[beastman]

Merfolk pisses me off more than any deck in history, I love seeing it get destroyed, and that is why I am playing zoo now.

[Muradin]

Usually I don't watch mtg videos because they are not done very well most of the time but in this case I have to say that you did it very well. Watched some of your videos and am definitely looking forward to seeing some more.

Hi, I was playing this strange Survival list. In G1 if I remember it right I came from a mulligan to 6 and I never had a chance with T1 Vial into T2 Standstill. In G2 I was afraid of Spell Pierce, when he opened with Aether Vial I thought it was the moment to attempt for a Survival of the Fittest, but he obviously had his Force of Will ready. Again a T2 Standstill demolished me, as demolishes the 80% of the format.

Those were the two dumbest starts Merfolk could get. Fuck that.

Hi,

like ur videos , great quality and good editing, but two points to say.
1.could u pls add an lifecounter?
2.could u pls try not to cut so hard? some times i feel wired what happend. when players are searching out of fetchland etc cutting is realy good but when they only do a brainstorm or some short response, it should take only a "few second" and must be in the vid.:D

good job!

[MMogg]

Great stuff. Too bad Zoo and Merfolk didn't battle it out.

Also, I wonder had the Merfolk been straight up U if it would have had other results. It seems the Path to Exiles really helped secure a fast victory in G2.

Great videos... wish there were more. :(

I enjoyed the 5 second Zoo matchups. Holy explosiveness, Batman!

Your post makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a shotgun.

For real.

[Enric]

I'll try to put the lifecountert the next time, I don't know how but I'll try it xD

1. Instead of life counters, you can simply put a comment on the video each time the life count changes.
2. The problem with cuts is that we don't understand when it's cut and when it's not. I think that you should try to accelerate instead of cutting. The effect might be smoother and easier to follow (actually I think that you already do it sometimes).

Awesome vids anyway. Even at work with no sound.

[MMogg]

Please don't listen to those who say cut out the cuts. I watched some older videos of GPT Madrid (also yours perhaps) and there were seemingly endless fetches and shuffling. Boring as hell. These videos were fun and fast: perfect. Never did you cut where there was a game state change, so I don't know what others are missing.

Also, I like how you put the cards up as they were cast. Made it much easier to see what was going on.

[Odd Mutation]

Please don't put away the cuts! No need to see the endless shuffling... or the long pondering about plays... you can actually see it, there's always a small 'jump' in the image. You never cut something important so keep up.

Thanks for adding a tripod! So much better to watch if the camera is still.

A lifecounter would be great. Maybe even one that's visible all the time?

Thank you a lot for this! It must be a lot of work to get it done. it's great!

P.S. Are the decklists available?

Definitely. Twice vial+standstill+counterspell.
