Hello hello hello! I’ve been having some decent runs with this format so far, just from getting good value from the commons and uncommons. It feels like a set that isn’t overly dominated by the mythics and rares. There’s a good overall power level so far. Albeit there are obviously some great bombs like Terror too. Looking forward to seeing how you do in this one.

I think the Deadeye Duelists are reasonably good. Cheap repeatable ways to commit crimes - I had a game yesterday where an opponent used two removal spells in them because the deck was getting too much action with the gorgon that gives menace to other creatures. So much synergy with that, so cheap sources of interaction are significantly better value. It also enabled the tutor creature in a different game (Servant of the Stinger into Rakdos Joins Up).

Hey Nicolai! If you’re open to the tiniest bit of constructive criticism, it would be to actively talk through your play more! You promise at the start of the video to do so about your picks and plays. And I think you deliver during the draft! So much info, it’s so helpful and informative. But when you get to the games, you go quiet as you do things. Now your brain is definitely planning and thinking, so just say all those thoughts out loud! Treat it like you are recording a podcast instead of video. No visuals to help out. Almost like you are an announcer/commentator. Even saying out loud what your opponent is doing as they do it. Check out a guy like Nizzahon to see some more talkative play people for examples.

I’ve been making draft videos for a long time and I go through different phases with my talkativeness during the games. If you watch some of my older videos, there are sets and time periods where I do a better job explaining gameplay things in detail, and I’ve been noticing as well that I’ve been a bit more quiet recently. It’s not as simple as it sounds trying to think and talk at the same time, especially when going down some complex lines and making tricky decisions in a new format where I’m trying to remember all the cards I want to play around and such. Also, there are just certain days where I’m in a bit of a quieter mood because talking for an hour straight can be tiring. I’ve been trying to prioritize making the correct plays and then explaining them afterwards because I’m always trying to improve my gameplay and it’s especially been on my radar recently. Another thing I’ve been doing recently is trying to edit out some of the quiet time in my videos a bit more (especially during my opponent’s turns), because I don’t want to talk just for the sake of talking if what I’m saying isn’t particularly relevant. Basically, I’ve got plenty of experience with analyzing gameplay situations and talking through them, so I don’t need pointers on how to do it, but the reminder to actually do it more in practice is helpful so I appreciate your comment.

Surprised you passed on the Deadeye Duelist in rakdos. It guarantees committing a crime every turn.

@NicolaiBolas Ай бұрын

It’s the sort of card that I always feel I can pick up later. I know that it guarantees Crimes, but I haven’t found that to be super necessary in many of my decks because I’ve got the Crime Lands and interaction. I’m sure I’ll play the card eventually!
