If you're asking for an honest assesment of the video, here it is.
The video was informative enough, good use of graphics and camera work to show the game in action, though multiple shots showing people cutting decks isn't going to tell me much if I don't know about tabletop card gaming. It was okay overall though.
The interspersed cuts of card art were a bit overused, but I can understand that you want to show the artwork off to a person unfamiliar with the game; artwork of the cards if one of the prime draws I've found for people unfamiliar with the game. I've even had waitresses be so impressed with the artwork that she took a picture of the card and later got a tattoo of a card I was playing (a foil prerelease version of Lotus Bloom, to be specific)
When you did the breakdown of the card layout, more time could have been spend explaining the significance of the card type (Creature - Angel) and what that specifically meant within the game. The creatures ability of Flying could have been explained briefly, as well as how Power and Toughness work and their interaction with other creatures Power and Toughness.
Now for the truly bad part. Part of honest feedback includes constructive criticism. I don't mean to offend you personally with this. I am assuming this person narrating the video was a friend, and I understand that you may have wanted to feature her for any number of reasons - but she was a very unwise choice.
The narration was off putting, to say the least. Firstly, the green makeup was completely unnecessary and comes off as weird and possibly 'too nerdy' for someone who may not be a part of gaming culture.
The narrator sounded as if she had no idea what she was talking about. Her vocal level and enunciation was poor. It was clear she was reading from a script that she had not spent much if any time learning. Additionally, her reading skills are pretty subpar. It sounded like it was being read by someone with a jr high reading level, which is not at all desirable. Worst of all, her vocal fry register was extremely irritating.
The poor choice for narrator sunk this video for me. Sorry

Also the narration is terribad. How one can listen to it?
I thought she sounded stoned.
Also that green crap is terrible. You dont make a video for the masses and have it narrated by someone dressed in a manner that may be off-putting to the masses.
