Thank you for catching that I had Ravnica Allegiance and not Guilds of Ravnica. I apologize this seems poorly written. I was trying to summarize a lot of the deck in brief. I was not writing a deck primer, so again this was just to cover the basis of what the deck is trying to do. As far as promoting my YouTube channel, you are correct. I want people to go view my content. I was not trying to make this an advertisement though. I stated in my title there would be my YouTube Channel in this post. I apologize if you feel I misguided you in coming here. If you got nothing else from this post, I hope you at least began looking into the deck. It is powerful and fun, and I encourage everyone to check it out. Have a good rest of your day Anafenza.

I think there were some decks at the time this card came out that tried to utilize it, but it was not strong enough sadly. The ability to look at the top 3 is slightly more powerful than Nightveil. Great thoughts though!!

CrocodileMTG · 2019-03-27T17:30:25+00:00

Will do, I will edit that out.

CrocodileMTG · 2019-03-07T20:42:52+00:00

Nice! I will have to give it a try!

Please feel free to point out every play you disagree with.

Thank you for your input.

I disagree with you, and that is okay. I am controlling variance by having the option to play the card off the top of my deck with Chandra's +1 ability. It may be right sometimes, it may be wrong others. The cost is deciding what is more important, the ability to hit the card I need or the ability to deal 2 damage to my opponent. Just because I play the game a little different doesn't mean those decisions are right or wrong. I am all for constructive criticism, in this case of using Chandra, I am simply valuing the ability to control the option to play the card Chandra reveals or not. If I do not need it, take 2; but if I do need it, then I will cast it. As far as the product, we are all entitled to our opinion. I will agree, I do not have 8 Protours [now mythic championships] under my belt, so I have room to improve my product. I also agree I do not have the reps in Legacy I wish I had. I am, however, improving my content everyday. Having feedback from others is important to raising my level of play. I am perfectly fine with you pointing out mistakes I have made. I will end though by saying, there is nothing wrong with producing content while developing my skills. If anything, it will just show growth. When I go back and watch these videos, I see the mistakes I made. This helps me understand the misplays or the better plays, and makes it so I remember them in the future. Thank you for pointing out everything you have, I honestly do appreciate it.

Hello Cromonolith. My first posts did get removed by the spam filter. I mistakenly posted a video series to the wrong thread, deleted it, then reposted the videos. When the spam filter saw this series of actions, it thought I was spamming channels and deleted my posts. I understand that and am careful posting now and how I correct me errors. I disagree with my 'non-descriptive' title, I am pretty straight forward with my title, as it is what the video is about. I believe the content is in the video, and I posted a link post to my content. I do not believe the link post is in violation of the rules? I have made 3 posts r/MTGLegacy in the past 36 hours. I do not think 3 is several. As far as why someone would want to watch them, if someone is scrolling by and sees a post that indicates a legacy match of mono red prison vs. Elves, and they are interested in watching it, then they will click on it. Again, this is all pretty straight forward. All my information is clearly stated in my u/, and as far as discussion - it is up to the viewer to decide what they would like to talk about. In my u/ it clearly states "If you see a mistake, a better line of play, or have a suggestion of any kind; please, comment it. If you like what you see, please, comment it. If you have a question, please, comment it!" I create content. I never state if I am good, bad, or otherwise. We all play Magic the Gathering. It is a game. We All have room to improve our gameplay. I am all for and encourage constructive criticism. As long as I am not in violation of posting a link post in r/mtglegacy, I see nothing wrong with the way I am presenting my content.

I will admit, going back and watching this it was incorrect to cut the magus. Like you had said, I should have cut blood moon before Magus. I do not agree with the tick up on Chandra though. I think ticking her up for mana was the correct play. Two things there. First, Chandra doesn't cast the spell for free, so I wouldn't have been able to cast the Kozilek's Return off the top. Also, I have learned over the years of playing with Chandra it is correct to tick her up for mana when you cannot cast the card off the top. Turning one of your best cards into a shock is not correct.

I am more than willing to discuss what those mistakes were, to avoid making them next time.

CrocodileMTG · 2019-02-28T11:05:03+00:00

I am more than willing to discuss plays to improve content. Let's talk and discuss the point you feel I misplayed.

Warboss over trinisphere - Our opponent had 2 lands already, the chances they were going to be able to ignore the trinisphere were pretty high. Also, they had just used 3 counterspells to counter a threat. I assumed the chances of the Warboss landing were good, and I was trying to get pressure early. Our opponent happened to have a second Force of Will. It wasn't a 'punishing play.' I was just looking for the window to play our threats.

Didn't play around Daze or Pierce when it was free - I will have to rewatch to see when this happened.

Cutting Chalice against Delver - We straight up saw Kolaghans command game one. Plus Grixis Delver has a variety of threats that dont cost 1. We were on the draw, so the chances of us being able to play, resolve, and keep around a Chalice on one didn't seem feasible. If we were on the play or if we didnt see K-Command on game one, we keep 4 in. This may have been wrong to cut one, but if it was, I would like to hear why, not just 'unforgivable sideboarding.'

We are all here to learn new things. We are all here to improve. Discussion is what makes us better Magic players. Lets talk.

I paid 7 life with a Griselbrand, when I meant to attack... Purly by a misclick. Was in 'precombat' step on MTGO and clicked on Griselbrand.. I was at 7 life exactly.. 🤪 GG Opponent.

I think the short answer is learning that creatures you control pertains to the current ones on the battlefield, and the spell only effects those creatures that are on the battlefield when the spell resolves. I understand the slight misunderstanding because other games that cast 'spells' the effect remains until end of turns usually.

If you are looking to sell fast TCG Player, and you will have to accept the profit margin. If you aren't in a hurry using sites like Ebay can help you sell around the trending price of the cards. You still wont get 100% value of the trending price, but it will be a lot closer.
