Can’t get enough of these vids, so rewatching from the beginning. It’s fun to see how you’ve evolved as a player throughout some of these older formats. Man, your Cube skills have come a long way…

I digress, however. I mainly wanted to express my disappointment in you not beating face on someone who would respond to a solid play with “gay”. People are the worst. Can’t really fault you; it just wasn’t in the cards. I just thought this sort of idiocy should be highlighted and disparaged at every turn.

Keep churning out the wonderful content! I’m quickly running out of backlogged vids…

Oh, and I love how I misspelled “by” in my first post. Awesome spelling FTW.

My mistake. The race had you winning by a turn. All you had to do was hold the ground.

You bash for 4, take him from 18 -> 14
He bashes for 2, and you go from 9 -> 7
You bash 4: 14 -> 10
He bash 2: 7 -> 5
You bash 4: 10 -> 6
He bash 2: 5 -> 3
You bash 4: 6 -> 2
He bash 2: 3 -> 1
You bash 4: 2 -> dead

I agree with shdwcat. The spirit attacking made sense. The sentry seemed a bit loose. Trading a guy that could flip, or could have counters added to it with the Cathar in your hand seemed like bad trade. If you’d been able to flip it, it would have been unstoppable. The race had you loosing by one turn, and trading a 4/4 for a 3/2 did not seem to be the way to win that race. You kept talking about the Orchard Spirit trading with the Vampire (which was impossible), and didn’t stop to consider the Sentry trading with the vamp. I think you were worried about needing to start bashing back that you skipped over the full consideration of the blocks. That’s uncharacteristic of you (although I do it all the time).

Later on, it would have been a decent way to soak up damage from the Ridgewolf (if needed), but he would probably hesitate to attack with the Ridgewolf into a Doomed Traveler + Cathar if you have a Sentry standing buy threatening to get all tramply.

Is it at all possible to have a link to these vids in a rar/zip file for download? They don’t want to download for me (im using an android tablet). Conversly, would one kind soul be willing to upload them in a rar and share the link?

That aside, great vid, found you guys via limited resources, I will return

Cheers.

Marshall –
P1P5 you snap take the urgent exorcism over the ashmouth hound. In my mind it’s still early enough that taking the better card is worth it over the sideboard here. Anything could happen still to put you into red.

R1G1 – at about 2:20 you attack with the voiceless spirit over the elder cathar. I think this is the wrong play because I think you’re still ok if he trades with the cathar (even though you only get 1 counter on your shepard) and then he can’t attack back with his spirits. He didn’t end up attacking, but NUTS AND BOLTS.
