00:00Good afternoon, good evening, and good morning depending on where you are in the world
00:04We'd like to present to you best out of three for
00:07Magic the Gathering what we're going to be doing is we're going to be highlighting the new content
00:11Well, what's the new contents the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
00:15So what we're going to be talking about is we're going to be talking about
00:20Excuse me, we're going to be talking about how the new content has
00:26Been interjected in and used practically in the games
00:31And we're going to see that by actually a practical exercise of
00:35Me playing a best out of three series and seeing how people are are implementing the new content. So let's
00:41start
00:42First of all what we're going to be doing is I'm going to be playing my signature
00:47White blue arcane airless now of course as we're going along we find out what what needs to be implemented
00:53What needs to be substituted we do that by testing we don't it's not a matter of whether or not
01:03How it doesn't it's not a matter of if you win or lose yes, that's an indicator
01:08We're going to be doing standard rank because I've been doing the other way
01:13By the way, I'll put that in the comments for you guys too while we're waiting to be paired
01:18I'd like to thank all the people watching this on Facebook whether live or recorded especially live
01:23Your participation doesn't matter and I do appreciate it. So let's up proceed accordingly and
01:35So the idea is no matter what that we play we always want to be adaptive and learn from each
01:39experience. It's about the learning process and
01:42The journey as opposed to the destination. I mean the destination is the destination, but what did you learn in
01:49the process?
01:49Do you understand?
02:03Do you understand?
02:04So here we go
02:14Now don't worry about if you lose worry worry about
02:18About the quality of your play and worry about how you play
02:23Think of us strategically don't rush through your moves think of it like playing chess, right?
02:28Do everything move by move do you understand?
02:31So in this case we're going to decide to play first now what we do is we count how many
02:35mana we have two
02:36What are the drops one three three three and one so we have two that can come out that's fine
02:43So what we'd want to do we probably want to play healer's hawk first
02:48So keep play the white and healer's hawk you want to think in advance
02:52But also be open enough to adapt according to the needs, okay?
02:57And let's see what he put up what he has, okay, so we go first
03:02We can play white healer's hawk
03:05It has flying and lifeline. How do we know we put our cursor over or you can see it from
03:09a
03:10Distant version and we want to be familiar with what the abilities do so we want to be familiar with
03:14the cards
03:15What they do in your combinations?
03:18Okay, this comes in tap. However, what we can do is we have a two we have a one
03:25Let's do this. Let's play a blue and the play the flash out so we have two next time
03:32We can hold this one back in reserve. Let's attack for one and lifelink means the damage you do
03:38Or whenever it does damage so damage dealt by a creature a planeswalker spell with lifelink also causes its control
03:45to gain that much life
03:49So let's do this
03:51He doesn't have anything to come out so you want to keep pushing forward. Let's do this. Let's get
03:59Let's hold that back in reserve
04:01Let's play this out
04:04We're gonna play him out two three whenever another creature that means this is prefacing this means it's coming before
04:11to explain
04:13So what we're gonna do. Okay, you very nice nice. I like that
04:18Let's attack the two
04:21And only one of them had lifelink, okay, so the good thing about this is you can play three colors
04:27in a blue means any color colorless
04:29It means it's not defined by a color
04:32Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna bring out a third one
04:36I'm gonna bring out this third one
04:41Let's see if he counters
04:42I like the fact he has those counters. Those are good. Is this advantage at this point is he's not
04:48getting cards out?
04:52Okay, that's good. I like how he's playing it except
04:55It's a control deck you have to balance it out actually with action
05:00So I did not gain life so that was good
05:04Very good day of judgment beautiful card. I like I like this deck the problem with the deck is that
05:12He's not getting anything out
05:15Now what we're gonna do this flash I can play it anytime. Let's go there
05:19We want to find out what it one of his better cards out
05:25We have judgments
05:32See even if you'd be your point you can find out what is your point of view
05:37Now I'm not getting stuck all that way
05:41Okay, see that sometimes your manner is you have not enough or too much is the balance
06:00Wait, wait, let's see should we counter it?
06:05I
06:06Think we should
06:06Because he's probably going to be creating map tokens
06:10That's probably part of the strategy
06:16The thing is even if you if you lose see what did your opponent do well and how can you
06:22implement what your opponent did?
06:24Maybe you can implement what they're doing
06:26See what I'm saying
06:27Okay, we're gonna be doing your life
06:33There we go now
06:35We did have the first move so that's kind of like being a half to do the head
06:43Here we go, so we have three five and seven three colors and fuse it doesn't really matter
06:49Because we don't have anything else to bring out anyway
06:55Unless they came through yeah, I couldn't think that's nice. I like that. I
07:03Like how he's playing it the only thing I don't like about what he has is he's not bringing out
07:07creatures
07:08So if you look at this when we're playing we look at this objectively
07:15What we want to do is look at the situation objectively, okay?
07:22Nice
07:27New white right okay
07:31It's a four five see that's the thing see the map tokens can
07:41Maybe I should just read until he has a five got five six of course. That's would have could have
07:46should have that's one of those things here
07:55This is kind of the problem I'm gonna have to take the five and then wait next turn and then
08:00bring this one up
08:03Oh
08:14That's a living
08:15No, that's fine
08:24Let's bring out
08:31Oh crap
08:36My mistake I should have used this this one to take out the
08:45Legendary creature probably
08:49My mistake
08:51But now it's 11 so
08:55Can we take out one of this we can pick up this one
08:59But then we have nothing okay, so we when he attacks the double block the next turn we get rid
09:04of this
09:06We're still gonna fix this
09:08nice
09:13Yeah, we're just gonna take the 11
09:16I mean good plays good play
09:19The reason why we're not blocking this because next turn he's gonna attack with it anyway
09:24So we're gonna have to
09:26No, we're gonna have to get rid of the five
09:31We want to get rid of the six or the five?
09:34Let's get rid of the six maybe
09:38And then
09:39There we go
09:39Ummm
09:41There we go
09:41So we can double block
09:44Because we only have seven so you got
09:47Ummm
10:01Okay, we'll just block with one then
10:10see part of this game you can't account for is the randomness of the cards so especially when
10:16you're playing online this is a nice deck I like this the problem with three-color
10:33decks are difficult to get the right kind of man of power that's the problem with it now in my
10:42opinion
10:44he should have just went all in what I'm going to do is get rid of that six
11:17so these block you can walk
11:26see how well he played that that was very well
11:31played that very well okay here's where we can do what's called sideboarding and move out things if
11:39I have a sideboard because I have more than 15 I think it's already as is that's something I
11:49might have played this time before I like his deck as he has elements in my deck that I need
12:16let's click play first we don't have any manas so I can't bring anything else unless I'm working we have
12:23three of three at least so we can oh what are this this is one this is three two let's
12:36get rid of one of these
12:40and we're going to bring this one out because he can't well he could bring something out if it has
12:45haste if it's a zero or one drop
12:51surveil is good
12:54the red blue man is one way to do this one has vigilance t2 and we're going to do is
13:06bring out these next two
13:17one bring out one bring out two strengthen numbers guys
13:27vigilant so I can attack so attacking doesn't cause a creature of a vigilance attack so just when you put
13:35it over you can see what they'll do so I'm going to attack for two now my main problem here
13:44is I don't
13:44have enough for me but you see it's the trade-off you want to get rid of one of your
13:51okay here we go
13:51one of your creatures here we're going to attack for three and we're going to take one
14:06now what we need to do is use synergy either we can say because flash can I can do it
14:14at any time
14:15maybe wait till that's tough because I don't have a ton of mana
14:25so that will give us an extra two damage right there one and one
14:37and this one has something sickness which means you can't attack with it when it first comes out
14:43you can do five damage and two of it is lifelike
14:55there we go nice this is very nice that's a nice go
15:03white blue red is pretty cool if you can get it out but it's probably the problem with it is
15:08the reason
15:08why I don't play it is because it's difficult to get the mana in the in the sequence of when
15:15it's needed
15:19so what we have here is
15:23one two three four five one two three
15:29best thing to do is hope we get mana or something within what we have for mana
15:46let's attack for seven keep them keep them guessing
15:53this is a more conservative approach but it's also more flexible
16:07that makes sense that's a good point
16:13that's a good point
16:15he's taking damage every turn
16:17that's the that's the main thing
16:20and I'm gaining
16:22which is sort of bottom line
16:35all right so
16:41okay you can let it resolve
16:47so we have target we have triggered abilities
16:49what we're gonna do is as it's on the stack
16:53I'm gonna get rid of it
16:55that's timely
16:59oh it made a copy of it to do three damage
17:01oh nice
17:06that's good
17:08that's definitely good
17:12now the good thing is it had flash so that's the good part of it
17:19we're gonna attack for one
17:25one extra health
17:30I like how he's playing his deck this is pretty good
17:46see my problem is that I'm not getting enough mana to do what I want to do
17:58okay so that prevents the damage
18:07let's attack for one
18:08so my attacks are becoming less and less but also he's gaining life but so am I
18:16I need more mana I don't know what's going on with my mana here
18:25see I have this one here but it's not the right time to play it
18:29you don't want to play something just for the sake of playing something
18:33oh nice
18:38there's a flyer so it can block
18:43stop it
18:44oh nice
19:02okay
19:04okay
19:11nice
19:15that's kind of the problem though
19:17I'm gonna take four damage
19:19I'm just gonna have to take it
19:21and he has vigilance so
19:24when he attacks he doesn't
19:26another nice play
19:27he destroyed both of them at the same time
19:31lots of removal
19:34I kinda like how he's playing this
19:38we certainly want to get this out
19:39because we want more cards
19:43unless you attack this turn
19:46so at the end of the turn
19:49it's a conditional trigger where
19:51it triggers or not triggers based upon if you attack this turn or if you did an action
20:03another good play
20:05that's a good place
20:16no
20:17so that's eight damage
20:20mm-hmm
20:37nice
20:38nice
20:39and one
20:53if you do not have a laughing
20:53and it'll have to be a good point
20:53you've got a good point
20:55to see
20:55that school
20:55it may be a bad point
21:00it'll be a good point
21:04and it's a good point
21:08that's not going to be a good point
21:09Yeah, so he might as well just attack for 8. Yeah, that makes sense.
21:17I'm trying to get into the shell.
21:25He's got so many of these...
21:27What, how many cards in hand? 7?
21:29So once he gets one, he's going to put one down anyway.
21:33Because you can't have 8 cards or more in your hand.
21:36Unless there's a card that says that it works.
21:38I can't get the name.
21:43Hmm, nice.
21:45I've not seen that one before.
21:48And it's a rare.
21:50Very nice.
22:106, 10, 15, 15.
22:21It's okay.
22:23So what did we learn from this, okay?
22:27It's not a matter of the destination.
22:29You want to win, but you want to play well and you want to learn from every game.
22:35Okay?
22:36So let's think about this, okay?
22:39After each game, you want to ask yourself, what did I learn from this situation?
22:43What could I have done better?
22:45Whatever.
22:46What adjustments do I need to make?
22:48Okay.
22:51What did I learn?
22:52Okay, I learned that, that, that white, blue, red was focused on countering and removal.
22:59I saw the cards that he had.
23:01Okay?
23:02Uh, what could I have done better?
23:04I, I need to have things that either have hex or indestructible.
23:09Hexo, unless they pay the amount.
23:12Also, also I saw that, uh, I wasn't able to bring out land.
23:17So, based upon all those things, once you realize that, you know, already what you should be playing with.
23:23Okay?
23:23You see?
23:25Okay.
23:27Also, what I want to do with my decks, I want to take a look at my decks and see
23:30how I can improve them.
23:32Let's look, let's edit the deck, okay?
23:34Is there something in that deck that was inefficient or it needs to be changed?
23:47Charter course is good.
23:51I wasn't really using it.
24:00That's potentially very good, but what am I missing from this deck?
24:06How many...
24:11Okay, how many men do we have?
24:13Four, two, and four.
24:14That's ten, right?
24:16Plus seven, seventeen, plus eight is twenty-five.
24:20Twenty-five out of seventy isn't one out of three.
24:23So, what we want to do is take away some stuff.
24:31We have three of these.
24:32We could take those out and put more mana in it.
24:41Oops, no.
24:45I think we need to put more mana in this, honestly.
24:52This is just not sufficient.
24:55What do we have?
24:55Twenty-two, twenty-six, thirty, thirty-two out of eighty-two.
24:59Okay, that's good.
25:05Now, what we want to do after we do that, we want to test it out and see how it
25:08does.
25:10So, we want to do best out of three for games and then best out of three for matches.
25:15Best out of three matches, yeah.
25:19Best out of three games, yeah.
25:22Match games and then best out of three for matches.
25:28Let's see.
25:30Okay.
25:33The good thing is if you get, if you get beaten, oops, oops, sorry, that's not what I meant
25:42to do.
25:43The good thing is if you easily get beaten, that means that it exposes where you need
25:51to play better.
25:58Don't worry about losing, worry about learning.
26:02As you're learning and adapting, you will get better.
26:05So, you don't just become an expert overnight and just all at once.
26:19That's what I recommend is how does it go after you make adjustments.
26:26Okay.
26:29So, what you want to do is you want to take the time to analyze your games and think about
26:33it, not just click a goal over next, next, next, next.
26:37Even if you win, you still want to, ooh, look at that.
26:41Is that platinum or is that silver?
26:45Okay.
26:45We have three mana, two lights and a blue.
26:48This is one, three, three, four and five.
26:51These are all white.
26:53It has colorless, so that's good.
26:54We'll keep it.
26:56Now, what would be our first move?
26:57Our first move would get Healers Hawk out.
27:05Okay.
27:05Next move, we're going to play Healers Hawk again.
27:09Next move, we're going to play, ooh, we're going to get blue.
27:13No, I'm going to play this.
27:15I'm going to play another.
27:16Healers Hawk.
27:19Attack for one.
27:21And we get one.
27:22Now, we're going to start playing blue so we can get one of our colorless ones.
27:36This is a 2-3.
27:39Can this block fliers?
27:47Ooh.
27:50That's good.
27:51Let's attack the two.
27:57See, when you get detached from the outcome and you just worry about how well you do,
28:02that's when you're free to do what you do.
28:04You're not so attached to it.
28:08Okay, so he sees that this is not going to work.
28:12Now,
28:19Remember, there's always a cost to be paid.
28:21So, yes, I had to get rid of those, some of those creatures, but what was the net effect?
28:27The net effect is actually, you're able to do more because you got rid of an imbalance of, or negative
28:35imbalance that is, that you weren't able to get enough mana out.
28:42If you can get two to one creatures to mana, that's better.
28:46Oh, here's the problem.
28:47I don't have enough mana.
28:48And all these are white, so that's not going to work.
28:52This is not going to go well.
28:54Yeah, so, one, two.
28:56Let's, let's take it off, off those two.
29:00That would be the first one, and we have, oh, wait.
29:06And then what we want to do is, first thing, oh, he goes first because, he lost.
29:12Here's Hawk.
29:24Here's Hawk.
29:25What we want to do is, in the beginning, we draw as many cards as we need.
29:30Um, let's see what it is.
29:32We need the mana more than we need that.
29:35What's attack event?
29:38Then we need to start bringing out mana, so.
29:40So, what I would do is, let's get this card, attack for one, and then after that, hopefully
29:55get more mana and bring out Charter Course, but if not, let's say we get another creature
30:01card, hopefully it's three or less, or a mana.
30:06Right now, probably, basically, I already have any of my mana here.
30:12Charter Course, if we get anything out, that's two, just card a card, that's tough, um, technically
30:27I could have played that, but this one long term is better.
30:33Now, long term, I don't know if it was worth it, because every single turn I'm missing an attack
30:37hand at, so that's a potential two points, versus, you're getting a life every turn, ooh, beautiful!
30:58There's a flyer, ooh, that's a flyer, that's nice.
31:06I still have no text from there.
31:09I do have enough to bring out Sarah Angel.
31:14noise here, that means I've won one game.
31:18As a matter of fact, I won in the first game, but, green, the good thing about green is that
31:25you're able to get mana out easier.
31:41I still can block, so what I want to do is just go back to blocks.
31:54What I might do is chart a course to see if I can get something different, then place our
31:59angel out, or we can place our angel out right away, and hold this back, I'm not sure, but
32:08you, you do want to have the option of doing that so, let's test, removal, yep.
32:20Yep, nice.
32:22So he sees what they are, Curator of Destinies and Extinguishments.
32:40Try to push.
32:43Mmm, that's tough.
32:55Keep going.
32:57Because he has that 4-5, that's kind of holding back what I'm doing.
33:02But what I want to do is play the Empyrean Eagle first.
33:06Ooh, 4-4, nice.
33:15That's difficult.
33:23Make this one.
33:26Make this one.
33:35Okay.
33:44Let's double block that.
33:47This is not an easy decision to make.
33:58Un-easy at all.
34:07No man is good though.
34:23I think after that I'm going to play Sarah Angel, you should be able to make, you should
34:27be able to break through on that.
34:37It's probably the top card.
34:38It was a blue mana.
34:42That's funny.
34:46Oh, okay, wait, what?
34:47That's good.
34:49You can use the blue mana to bring that out.
34:52See the idea?
35:00See the Angel for the win.
35:02Well, the good thing is you can clean it for you.
35:13Whoa!
35:14You can push.
35:15It's a little bit better.
35:18Don't come back.
35:19It doesn't matter to you.
35:19It's quick.
35:21It feels so.
35:24It feels great.
35:25Yeah, it's okay.
35:25Yeah, it feels great.
35:25Tsk.
35:31Tsk.
35:32Tsk.
35:32Tsk.
35:33Tsk.
35:33Tsk.
35:33Tsk.
35:41Oh nice that's very nice and nice I work too so on my next turn probably
35:57gonna be playing a certain angel I would prefer to get something else to bump
36:11everything up problem is he can
