Standard Daily Commentary on MTGO

For a while now I've done a commentary series of games I've played on Magic Online. After a bit of a break over the Christmas holidays, I'm back to recording games and uploading them to Youtube and to mtgovideos.com. I try to focus on and explain my thoughts as I play, so you can get a bit of insight into my mind. This is an example of the kind of videos you can find on my Youtube channel:


If you think you might be interested in this series, and a whole like of other series like it, head on over to my youtube channel and subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/user/LastSasquatch.

I'll keep my blog up to date with results as well, so you can come here if you want to skip all the video stuff and just see how things went. In this series, shot today, I hadn't played in a while when I started up again, so I was a little rusty. The first match was against a somewhat terrible goblin deck, and the UB matchup against aggro is pretty good, so it wasn't hard to take down. Round 2 was against the mirror, so it was a little harder, and I made a bit of a terrible blunder game two which cost me the game. Even still, I took down game three to move on 2-0. After that I played a series of games against boros that I'm sure I played terribly. I didn't have to watch it over more than once to see a number of things that could easily have won me that match, but as it happened I played poorly and lost. The final round was again against the mirror, and a few more mistakes combined with a lot of bad luck left me with a final score of 2-2, which isn't in the prize bracket.

Straight after this I played another event and went 3-1 (I could have easily gone 4-0, but in the final game of the final match I didn't play around a certain Eldrazi Monument that I very easily could have and I got pretty annoyed at myself), and the beauty of daily events is that you can lose 2 in a row, and then place 2nd on the prize bracket (3-1) and still make a profit, that's not to mention how things go if you place 4-0. So I'm still up tickets in the end, and looking to record a lot more commentaries in the near future.

  5. This is cool. I can watch others play and don't have to learn the rules myself. I tried once, too complex 4 me! I like twitchy things not strategy!

  6. I still like the traditional feel of collecting cards, and slamming down the game-changer, to the chagrin of your opponent. Call me a purist...
