This is a pic from my LGS, ABU.

Derek (left) with naya aggro and me (right) with 5 color control each got 5-0.

My favorite plays of the night were {sphinx's revelation} for zero + extort for the win and another with my buddy's deck that I designed.

So against boros I had {blood artist} in play and 3 lands (2x{W}{U}, 1x{U}{B}). I passed turn without a play and he played {vexing devil} which I let him keep and then paired with a {lightning mauler} at the beginning of combat though I {tragic slip}ped the mauler saving myself from damage. I played {moorland haunt on my turn and passed at which point he used a burn spell on the artist. He dropped a second mauler and swung, in response to attackers I;
Cast {snapcaster mage}
He resolved and triggered targeting {tragic slip}
i cast the slip targeting the devil
Then cast {rapid hybridization} targeting my snapcaster
It resolved I put a 3/3 into play
Slip resolved giving -13/-13 to the devil and then I blocked the mauler with the lizard and cleared his board state while making my own.

Yes that one. They are one of the top few in online sales and my local shop. I didnt respect that value until I went to a gp and talked to people.

As for your order it's not unheard of to lose an order in the mix for any large retailer. Im surprised you didn't call after 2 weeks. They're generally cool there and if you call and inquire (not rage) then it should be an easy fix

Well being in Canada I wait usually 3 weeks. But I was also away for awhile, told my post office to hold anything for me. Nothing and now I'm away again. They're customer service is great dont get me wrong, but either I or them should have gotten by now.

I just recorded a deck tech video for this deck, but might rerecord it before posting in the next couple days. The quality will be low by my standards but this is mostly a test.

I recorded a 10min quick overview, as well as. 30ish minute in depth look at the deck. Do you guys think I should post both and make this a usual practice for my videos? This would let you get a quick look if your short on time or bored easy, but also have the option of an in depth understanding of what went into the deck in construction as well as play. I will likely go on tangents about meta, card design, general deck construction, or interesting plays in the longer videos.

I would suggest to always do a 10-15 minute one. Then do a complimentary one regarding plays. The second one could be another 15 minute video allowing you to go into as much depth as you need.
If you can keep them tight and effective as much as possible (usually done with editing when needed) I can't see why they wouldn't be popular.

I drafted GTC with 8 others at a mates place. Decided ill go boros second pack i open a  {Boros Reckoner}, didnt go so well with the deck as others were playing Orzhov/Dmir with alot of removal those colours are stronger in GTC sealed imo. Thats some very nice play making a 3/3 while clearing opponents field.
