Hey. I just wanted to say that I checked out your videos, and I really liked the ideas that were discussed in the intro video. Particularly the one about using cockatrice to watch both sides of a match with live commentary. Now that cockatrice is down, is there going to be some way that you'll be able to do that? Great idea, and good deck tech.
Yes we use a different server now. Ill get to my deck tech for wolf blitz when Nicki (my gf) is done watching grimm episodes back to back. Thanks for the support btw.

Got yourself a subscriber, sir. It's good to see more explanation than "I run this card, because come on, it's really good." I like hearing about how decks work against others. I watched the short, I'll probably check out the longer one in a bit.
Subscribed as well...;)
I'm subbed! I like it! :)
Danny's first tech!

Checked it out. Good tech, I also liked how he talked about dragon maze, and how it might affect the deck type.
Im thinking Danny and I can get esper control vs. his bant splash red tomorrow. This will be our first official play test video though we recorded some matches in the past that didnt see posting.
I would love that, since esper vs bant is the matchup I am most interested in!
Esper control is generally favored in that matchup but that would be a great matchup to watch.
Yeah that is true. Esper control is more true to control roots than bant, so it has the edge. And it has GREAT sideboard options against control, especially in DGM. I play bant, and would love to hear commentary on the matchup, as I am always trying to become a better bantinator ;)
Esper does have a better matchup, but 1 {Psychic Spiral} in the SB takes that advantage away. It isn't generally the end of the world to lose on a {Psychic Spiral}, because you have basically stabilized once it would pose a threat, early {Syncopate}/{Negate} on a {Farseek} sets that deck back (if they took a 2 or 3 lander, expecting the 3rd or 4th land to be off a {Farseek})
This is true. That cards is espers worst enemy.
Bant gets the benefit of {Acidic Slime} + {Restoration}, completely throw off Esper. I've walked head first into that thing too. Blowing up your blue/white source or {Nephalia Drownyard}. It can wreck havoc. That being said, I still like my chances of winning vs. Bant.
Plus, if bant has psychic spiral, esper has one and a counterspell to go with it. That's why I mainboard spiral in my bant deck. My meta is so controlly it's disgustig. Last fnm I accidentiay left my sb at home and my deck was pre-boarded against control, weilding 2 spirals mainboard, and that earned me 2nd. It's all about who has more spirals, at the end of the day. I hate how control has been reduced to milling with a spell land. And playing creatures. Guh
Zendikar already made lands control's best wincon. {Celestial colonnade} is a very loved win condition. My esper list's runs {elixir of immortality} for many reasons, counter mill being one of them.
It may just be the metagame where I play but I am the only one playing esper. So harly any of the other decks run anti-mill plans other than witch bane orb. Planar cleansing just takes it out.
I haven't been to FNM in months, I imagine my Esper build would do pretty well considering I'm certain most of the kids can't afford my mana base, let alone the most of the functional cards.
Not sure why bust esper has sort of droped of the map(generally speaking). I still think it is one of the best decks in the format.
It's pretty freaking good. {Assemble the Legion} with counter spell back up and fast aggro with a well timed {boros charm}, {golgari charm}, or other well timed anti wrath does a number on it though.
This is true but i find than planar {Planar Cleansing} does some nice work and so does {Unsummon}. But boros charm is probably the worst put of those you listed.
Danny and I recorded esper vs. bant today. It should be up really soon if it isnt already. Im not super happy with the video, but we want to get the videos up for now. We can make them pretty and better organized in later videos.
What's your channel name.
Thanks

I love it
Thanks man
I'd like to see your opinions on dragon's maze. Maybe a video showing what cards you believe will make the most impact, and maybe some combos with them.
Ill talk to the team. That would be best done as a group discussion I believe. We have some differing views but as long as we can back them up then we have eachother's support.
A round table discussion with the whole team, about dragon's maze, and its impact on standard might be pretty cool.
