First of all, thanks for these videos. I vote for displaying the phase bar and keeping the cards in your hand smaller since (as others mentioned) these are draft videos and we know your deck. It’s more important to have the cards in the play area visible. Clan invites don’t bother me.

Hey Marshall, I prefer the phase bar, clan invites don’t bother me.

I prefer to see the phase bar, but don’t think its nessecary

I don’t mind 1-2 invites over the course of a draft. My ‘frustration’ is since I watch on my phone, I can’t read the comments you laugh at (though you reading the comments aloud is probably worse than me missing the joke.) I hadn’t noticed the misding phase bar. Generally irrelevant, but nice to see when it does matter. Again, on my phone the cards are already rediculously small, so the minor size difference doesn’t do much for me.

It seemed to me the size of the cards on the board weren’t effected by the phase bar at all, just the cards in hand. Even the cards in hand didn’t shrink that much when the phase bar was turned on.
I know in your podcasts you’ve talked at length a few times about the importance of the individual phases of the game and developing sound play by being aware of when you can and should cast spells (particularly instants.) My paper play has improved and been more consistent because of MTGO’s phase bar and seeing how passing/receiving priority works. I’m sure it will help other’s, too. Especially seeing a player of your caliber put it to good, spikey, use.

First time commenting. Haven’t seen all the videos, but wanted to answer your question real quick.
1) I prefer for the phase bar to be there for my own clarity, but don’t think it is necessary.
2) I absolutely don’t mind the clan invites in the middle of videos. It’s good for the purpose you mention and doesn’t detract from the game for me.

R2G2 why tutor up the plains when having the second forest would have helped more? I get that its ‘just in case’ for the Sunblade Elf, but would the 2/2 really have helped that much more than a forest?
