Academy_PointsYour daddy.
Academy_Pointsthe wrap up section seems to be missing
The “Wrap Up” is still uploading because the rendering server is cheating on us….should be done and online soon.
Academy_PointsRight!
Have been looking forward to these videos. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this mate. Sitting back relaxing with a tall, getting absolutely mortal watching a commander video. Good days I say.
Cheers to you and look forward to future content.
Gravytoast, holy hell; that was the best comment ever. I am just imagining a British Colonial soldier with no pants on drinking a pint with his feet kicked up. Crikey!
Academy_PointsUploading complete; sorry for delay!
(Also, loved Gravytoast’s comment too
)
Academy_PointsDo forgive my defeated sadness-tude. Capturing video content is hard stuff, son! I stayed up and decided to bypass my need for sleep to get this done, hence my drowsy tone. I required liquid courage, a happy ending, and a series of hi-fives from well-dressed midgets to get me re-enthused.
Academy_PointsWow, I’ve been mentioned 3 times this week!
The sexual tension between us seems to be reaching it’s climax (kidding, kidding).
Well this video was basically the same as last week good quality but no suprises
Academy_PointsLiked the suggestions in the end.
One day I will hold you in my arms, brillo out those abs, and tell you how I really feel.
Academy_PointsGreat, now I gotta ask what brillo means…
Academy_PointsThey not have Google at the gym?
Academy_PointsI still dont understand how the hell to use f8! I still took the demons key.. f6. Was kinda ggs though.
Ha! F8 is the “go until my next turn” hotkey. You cannot have any mana available. You cannot have any abilities available (no go if you have Divining Top out). If you have alt cast stuff like FoW, Commandeer, etc. = no go. It doesn’t forgo blockers, if applicable. There’s also the political advantage to not bluffing counter magic, removal, etc. like in traditional formats. F8, she’s a strange beast, but one that can help shuttle along the game.
Funny thing: the new ‘join forces’ mechanic discourages f8. I have seen it happen so many times. So consider that as well!
Sorry for the scoopage, again! That night was a suckfest of weird stuff. I was all stretchy and grumpy from phys therapy and the lady was none-too-pleased with my ignoring her all evening.
Academy_PointsThe Mimeoplasm seems insanely powerful as a general…..
Also, the special ladyfriend may be replacing you with William Adama goodness.
Academy_PointsI googled it at I’m kind of good at googling since it used to be more or less my job.
The best I could come up with was “steel wool”, illegal Brazilian Immigrant and a certain kind of hairstyle.
But brillo as a verb I could not find.
Seriously Trav, go google brillo.
Academy_PointsI mean I’ll steel wool your muscles, hermano. Grind you down to wimpsize and let you know how the other half lives, son son son.
Academy_PointsI see. Sounds tempting.
Academy_Pointsprimus sucks
Smexy vids.
MOAR!!!
and to think if you take the chance on forest over island i win that game
in the actual gameplay i never realized how close i was to running away with that match
Ha-ha-ha, look who decided to show.
Pearl, I dunno what’s more sad: that I won with a precon, or that you damn near won with that pile of dirty t-shirts you were playing. Either way, there is no justice in the world.
Academy_PointsI’ve enjoyed seeing commander videos on this site. No other site is hosting commander videoes =/
The commander precons are overall pretty decent jumping points for new commander players. I’ve been impressed with the uptick in commander games launching on MTGO. Its sweet for players who don’t want to spend a lot of time building from scratch. I actually think that’s the biggest appeal of the commander precons. People can just buy one and swap out a few cards and play.
We are doing a review and budget update to all the Commander Precons over at my blog http://www.captainbloggington.wordpress.com.
Hey Book great review again, pretty fun to watch. Thanks to showing this video to one of my best friends he decided to buy the precon and started playing commander.
I am about to pick of Travis from the airport. If anyone has requests, leave them here and I’ll do my best to turn your dreams into reality!
@ACP- cool series! You should add the updated deck lists or a list of the changes :]
Academy_PointsBeatles, glad to hear it! They’re a great jump in point! Tell your buddy he can def mold that precon into something lethal!
Academy_PointsYeah, I think I’m going to help him go the reanimator route, seems pretty fun for a guy who’s just starting to play after like a 6 year hiatus and there isn’t that much yard hate in mtgo these days.
Academy_PointsFor def. glad you liked the vids! I will be back to my reg content this Monday!
Academy_PointsGreat videos. I have been watching for a long time, but have never commented. Commander has been an interest of mine, but I’ve only been a pauper player online, so it has been a bit overwhelming. This precon was my first foray into commander and it really is a cool deck. Gonna take some of your suggestions (the cheaper ones for sure) and switch it up some. Thanks again for the vids, I always look forward to your next production.
