I would’ve taken the Runic Repetition over the second Lost in the Mist. If you pick up a Memory’s Journey it allows you to mill the entire deck without losing, which could be relevant with two splinterfrights.

Thanks again for all the feedback and comments, I really appreciate it! You are the reason why I put so much effort into each of these videos :).

@Zach: Yes, I simply played too defensively these turns and missed 2-4 damage as a result. There was just too much stuff to think about, I believe that if my deck would have been any more complex I probably wouldn’t have been able to reasonably play and commentate at all!

Simon –

I adore your videos, but I do think it was a mistake R1G2 on Turn 9 not to attack with the viper and then 2nd mainphase your dudes. I don’t think you’re blocking the pitchburn cuz you don’t want the occultist to die.

Same thing on Turn 10! What am I missing here?

Tough loss at the end, Simon! Thanks so much for your great commentary. Very educational.

I enjoyed round 2, when you milled yourself to 0 and still won!

Who needs a Laboratory Manic card when you, the player is the Laboratory Maniac! Nice calculations.

Simon, your videos are certainly among the best on the web. Your detailed explanations show your innate talents as an educator. Your discipline and commitment to your strategy is inspiring! I don’t think I could’ve so easily passed the Brimstone Volley, much less the Devil’s Play! Bravo!
