I'm curious why u think vapor snag is better? I don't feel the 1 damage is nessassary in a mill deck and I like the flashback :). And grimwar seems fun but maybe overkill lol that would be awesome for mulitiplayer tho
Shoot just saw my week spot. How does blue deal with hexproof??
I just started playing a budget mono blue and was wondering the same thing about hexproof. btw, vapor has helped me win games actually but my mono blue is aggro control
image and dissipation field seem to be the only solid answers \=
I just competed in the Star City Games Invitational Qualifier. I landed in the top 8! It was only my second tournament too. Anyways, A friend of mine is a very very good player and we worked on the valakut deck list and sideboard tech until 4am. The result was a pretty prepared deck for the meta and it played out well. I didn't take much notes as I played. That's something I need to tighten up on to become a better player. Anyways, here's my list.
my box had a Primordial Hydra / sun titan / frost titan / and 2 jaces, one was a foil. i noticed that Primordial Hydra and the two titans group together a lot.
4 Wall of Omens (draw)
4 Overgrown Battlement (ramp)
3 Acidic Slime (blows stuff up)
4 Perimeter Captain (life gain obviously)
4 Vent Sentinel (win condition)
4 Genesis Wave
4 Beast Within (pop lands or destroy whatever is in the way of getting me there)
3 Gideon Jura (life gain with permitter captain, lightmine field aid)
3 Urabrask the Hidden (gives creatures haste for post genesis wave win)
3 Linvala, Keeper of Silence (shuts down splinter twin, at least for a little bit.)
3 Arid Mesa
3 Mountain
3 Plains
3 Forest
4 Sunpetal Grove
2 Stirring Wildwood
2 Raging Ravine (aids towards my win)
4 Rootbound Crag
Sideboard (15 cards)
4 Autumn's Veil (pre genesis wave if against blue or black if they're untapped for a counter or a removal card)
3 Slagstorm (board clearing - almost all my creatures are out of bolt range)
4 Leyline of Sanctity (vala
4 Lightmine Field (splinter twin)
The music and jump cutting is pretty bad. Don't just copy what skate videos do because its cool, magic isn't edgy. "*rolls dice* "FIVE!" - "Rootboundcrag, GO!" is also really annoying and cheesy. I want to see a game of skill and brainpower, not some nerds roleplaying and being over dramatic.
In general, just cut all of the "action shots" it doesn't fit magic. You wouldn't film or edit a game of chess this way.
The way SCG does their feature matches is pretty much perfect. About the only way to improve upon it would be higher resolution, an over the shoulder cam to see the hands every once in a while, and commentary that is a little bit better.
that is an immediate fix going forward! the defender deck is my build btw. I think it works rather wall. vamps and valakut i sideboard the leyline obviously, i just realized lightmine field is an amazing side board for splinter twin. stoked to see how it works friday.
genesis wave is worded with may put in play. and the upside down cards what you didn't see was the deck spilling onto the floor lol. edited that out obviously hahaha. no one cheated promise!
lol. I'm aware! that was a practice. trying to learn the rendering configuring so i can get 1080p HD. also, i didn't pass it through aftereffects yet. I really want to get a cinematic approach to the game. keep it fresh. that video my fiance filmed and it's hard to direct her. so I just let her shot and see if there was any way to polish in post pro. it was practice! it was a cool game though.
Internet Viral is such a better way to go. Too many contracts and provider deals. IF it happened it would end up on, say, dish network for an extra cost and it would bomb because of 24 hours of MTG content? it would repeat like local news. ZzZzZZzZzZzzzzz
okay great! I want to try to do this right and also reinvent the approach because, honestly, to attract the eyes of potential new comers, it's has to be spiced up.
I posted a practice edit. I need to render it in 1080p. get an over table mic as well.
what would you want to see in it? I have some gear and I'm starting to go to school for after effects and film editing so I need something to dedicate my practice to.
I enjoy video editing and MTG so why not put it together!

you got it
again thank you so much for the direction!
I want to get specific studio spot to film and conduct this. I will also try to get permission to film some big match ups at events.
thank you so much for the constructed ideas!
