Twitch Prime

[lordofthepit]

For those of you with Amazon Prime, you can now get Twitch Prime, which in addition to other benefits, appears to allow you to subscribe for free to one channel every thirty days. My understanding is that it benefits the streamer.

The vast majority of streamers do not have subscriber status, which means they aren't eligible for these benefits, but I thought I should compile a list of streamers who have subscriber status and are focused on Eternal formats, because I'd much rather they benefit from this. I plan to rotate between some of my favorite channels here, and I also encourage users to post any other channels I may have missed!

Does Julian still stream?

That's pretty nifty.

Do you keep the emotes of the channel you've once subscribed to after cancelling it (basically just "unlocking" them) or do you have to subscriped for the duration you want to use them.

I've started working on updating my overlay after I returned from Scotland last week. If things work out I might start again next week.

You have access to them as long as you are subscribed to the respective channel.

Thanks for the answer.

Makes me wonder why we don't have an official Source stream, actually. Various high profile streamers could "guest stream" from time to time on said channel while newcomers could use it to promote their own stream. Once subscriptions become available, they could be used to support the site.

Think of it as a centralized place to go for Legacy streaming content. The main problem right now is finding regular Legacy streams.

I heard of this first in Hearthstone where they're giving away a free new Hero if you sign up for Twitch Prime through November 5th. Was too lazy to sign up for a free skin but this convinced me.

Now I'm confused. I just subscribed to Joe Lossett's stream. What benefit do I get from it now?

Please do, if you can find the time.
We need more quality streams with Legacy in the title that are actually Legacy, and not cube.

Your benefits for subscribing are access to that streamer's special emotes. Legacy streams generally don't have enough viewers to turn on sub-only or slow-chat mode. If the streamer does giveaway stuff, often subs get better odds~more raffle tickets. Non-MtG streams also often have sub-only discord channels.

I really enjoy romariovidal on twitch, but I don't think he has enough for sub status. I'm at work and can't check. But he will pretty much only stream legacy and plays a wide range of (generally) non-blue legacy decks and always seems very capable whatever he is piloting.

Thanks for this notice. I'm a Prime member but am too cheap to pay for subscriptions on Twitch.

How much do the streamers get from said subscription? From what I've gathered, the % you get depends on the number of subscribers, with people who have tons of viewers/subscribers get more.

AFAIK they get half ($2.49), but bigger streamers might get better deals. There's no big streamers in Magic though, Magic performs notoriously poorly on Twitch.

The biggest streamers in Magic are probably the official account and SCG. The next biggest are the people doing daily streaming, which still aren't getting very many viewers.

I have some data on MtG on Twitch vs other games. It's... not great.
