Watching these videos makes my head hurt.

M1G1: Swing with three Insectile Aberrations. Hold back three blockers. He can, at most, swing in with seven guys. You’re at eight. He’s at nineteen. You could’ve won so easily.

As far as “not paying attention to the chat box”, you could always hover your pointer over Therapy to see who it’s targeting.

So many sloppy play mistakes. I was excited to find Classic MTGO videos, now I don’t even want to watch them. Thanks.

We can always rearrange your schedule for that week if you have your heart set on a Draft.

Of course, I don’t know how to read a calendar and since my next article is due on Dec 6th I won’t be able to get in a draft on the 5th and submit in time for my deadline. Nonetheless, I’ll try and find something entertaining for my next article!!

In hindsight though, I was playing to not lose instead of trying to win. I guess that is my fault on that play.

Thanks for the comments. I don’t know what everyone is confused about in with regards to M1G1 at 14:30. The math does not work. Even with bolt, my opponent needed only block a single Bob or Snapcaster to stay alive and win the following turn. He had a Dakmor Salvage in his hand that he dredged earlier, so those 2 Bloodghasts would have hit the table next turn with haste and I would lose to 3 tokens and 2 ghasts. Only chance that I had was for him to not block so that I could bolt him for the win, which was questionable as it sends a clear signal that I have something since I would open myself up to an obvious loss…. Am I missing something there?

My apologies for not paying attention to the game text window. I typically ignore that part of the screen, especially when recording as I have a difficult time speaking and reading something else at the same time. My brain just doesn’t work well when trying to do both, lol!

you do know that the window on the right and the spell on the stack both show you who/what a spell is targeting.
almost stopped watching after no attack w/ bob, then stopped watching after saw you durdle around in response to the 2nd cabal therapy.

at least you have nice cards though.

R2G1: You could Spell Pierce the Oath instead of Forcing it removing a pierce, he already had used a misstep, and in case he had it you still had force backup.

The rest of the games were good, congratz for the result.
