[Podcast] Everyday Eternal 30: Delving into Previous Misgivings

[Lord_Mcdonalds]

My thought on RUG Mandrils is that replacing goose seems meh. The reason goose was awesome was his ability to not get hit by spot removal. I know mandrils doesn't die to bolt or decay, but STP is still a highly played card.

He also sometimes kills goyf whereas goose usually never does

Thanks so much for the episode! Very interesting content.

[Phelix]

Top level content, thanks

Looking forward to the eternal weekend preview cast.

As for feedback:
+ Go for the streaming matches.
- Don't do the SCG replay commentary. Without watching the board state at the same time it gets quite boring and I drift away.

Streaming is going to be awesome. I'll just sitting there shouting good and bad advice for no reason.

This was probably the best episode I've heard so far. Well-paced, very informative, and entertaining. Good job.

Not huge on streaming personally...unless you can set up "Twitch Plays MTGO". That I would watch.

Don't really care 1 way or another for the streaming aspect, but a series of "V.S" videos would be awesome, similarly to how SCG does their VS series with BBD and Brad Nelson and so on. That way we can see some evidence supporting the claims made on the cast (not that I don't believe them, but theory and practice turn out quite differently sometimes).

Just filled out the survey, my answers were a bit skewed due to living in Australia so it is very hard for me to catch live streams. Here's hoping some recorded content comes out.

Likewise.
Though, VODs are perfectly acceptable in that regard. I watch all the VSL and Julian's stream via VODs currently.

Only complaint about this podcast was Seans volume compared to everyone else. I had you guys turned up in the car to hear over road noise and then Sean nearly destroyed my eardrums :P

OMG yes. VS VODs where players can explain their moves without hearing each other so they don't have to do the "I want to use THIS and then THIS" type of stuff and just talk freely. No worries about the chat (which seems to kill at least Julian's level of play), just the game and outlining your lines of play.

[Zombie]

Speaking of VS. VODs. I want a long set between Julian on a generic Elves build and a competent LED Dredge pilot. He keeps saying the matchup is fine but I don't see how. I want that set to happen so either I can learn and eat crow or he has to admit he's wrong >:) ^__^

[Finn]

I bet you both are correct.

My guess is that it is fine for Julian because he is "The Man!" with Elves. For mere mortals it is probably much less winnable. Eons ago there was a meme here that "Nobody but David Gearhart could play Solidarity" and to some significant extent it was true. At his best he could eke out games that others would have not seen the path for. I faced him online twice and both times sucked for me. Even my own experiences with D+T have made it clear to me that there are some matchups where intimate knowledge pays big dividends. There are some matchups that I can't believe others claim are hard. It would be crazy to think that this is not a significant factor when facing Julian on Elves.
