		<description><![CDATA[Liked the videos*

Oh and Living End would be a fun deck to see you play in extended I think. It&#039;s fun to see a deck with such terrible cards do well imo :D]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Liked the game, despite match 3 being a very sad affair. Games 2 and 3 were just awful :(
I don&#039;t mean play-wise (you did what you could), but just to watch. It hurt.

And I would really like to see extended vids. I agree with That70sSnidd, Standard is a little stale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[unfortunate g2/g3 vs me.

g1: felt nice having jace in play but just couldn&#039;t draw a mind spring to blow the game wide open. when you spring&#039;d first i was devastated. did have both coups and knew id have to walk one into a negate, but i guess i timed it a little off (didn&#039;t consider elspeth to considerably speed up the clock)
minor point: at 36&#039; 30&quot;: o-ring seas, jace bounce bsa (INSTEAD of fatesealing me), activate colonnade/gideon, elspeth jump all on one turn to kill me. but i know time was gettin&#039; to ya =p

g2: had both jace/luminarch in hand but opted to not play jace when u played wall of denial bc figured someone of your skills wouldn&#039;t let me get a free jace (i.e. guessing you had a o-ring) by playing an irrelevant wall of denial at the time. also, since i had sanctifier on my turn 4, knew that you wouldn&#039;t be able to play jace on your turn 4 because not enough mana (letting me maybe get to point of jace with negate backup thru mana advantage). then, you play jace on ur t4 was a bit surprising, but i guess, like you said bc of time had to make a play - made my proceeding turns easier.

g3: mull to 6 hand didn&#039;t seem too bad on the draw 2 land, jace, negate, X,Y. better than 5 i&#039;d think. i guess, again, feeling time constraints wanted a hand that could win a little faster or ? sucks that you had to mull to 3, poor cryptologist was trying to get busy ;p

cya around

p.s. room for seas (maindeck: 2 path, 1 elspeth, 0 gideon - something like that). keep up the good work in vids - was nice to see ur grips in the games and line of play.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[match 1, what would you have discarded instead of the mind spring? i would probably discard the scalding tarn, maybe negate.  that sarkhan play was awful.
i don&#039;t like the knights version as much because it feels like you have so many lategame possible dead draws...
can&#039;t wait till mana leak replaces flashfreeze/essence scatter/negate!

are the 8man queues worth playing ticket-wise?

your voice in video 2 is smaller than video 1 again.  also that bloodbraid into pulse was of course a sick blowout.
the opponent lost connection once (or chose to relog) while you were deciding what to put back with jace&#039;s brainstorm, so maybe he just really lost connection.]]></description>
