[The Human Ingenuity Show] Deck Coverage: Abzan Humans, TPS Mentor & 5C Humans!

[Guli]

First of all, this is something new to me. Recording and sharing online and expressing my idea's in this fashion. I did do bunch of video's so far and you can go to my channel on Youtube to see if you can find something that is interesting to you.

This post is about something special though. Me and Stormanimagus decided to give the dual commentary concept (for Vintage) a shot. In the coverage we discussed three topics:

1. Stonecold Humans (Abzan Humans) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAEEQPm8UVw
2. TPS with Mentor (The Perfect Storm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hAEEQPm8UVw#t=1952
3. 5C Humans https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hAEEQPm8UVw#t=3481

The first link will direct you to the whole video. But you can also just watch part 2 or part 3. You will be forwarded to that part if you click the link.



We really would appreciate feedback. Both positive as constructive. We wish to do more in the future, and want to improve while doing so.


Thanks,
Guli & Stormanimagus

Thanks for putting these together. I'm very interested in the TPS list and can't wait to watch it in action when I have a bit more time.

This was enjoyable. Any vintage content that is as analytical as this is fine by me. In future casts it would be cool to see some games though.

Thank you! I'll try to watch them this evening. I'm particulary interested in the last 2 decks

This is a great idea and I'm glad you uploaded it.  I just got through the Abzan section and agree on how powerful Grand Abolisher is.  Having that card on the other side of the table always makes me nervous.  In real life, that card leads to a lot of wins simply on account of some of its intricacies not being closely familiar with many players.  I still remember someone trying to Flusterstorm my Tendrils when I had an Abolisher in play on Humanstorm.  Inability to use Deathrite Shaman, Sensei Top, a "fairly" charged untapped Time Vault (yes I lived the dream once, someone skipped a turn, I played Abolisher, they forgot to use, and then I destroyed the Vault), Moxen, or Gush in response to Wasteland are more of its uses.  It's surprisingly useful against Forgemaster because you can destroy the Forgemaster without worrying about a response. 

I had a little trouble hearing Guli in the recording so hopefully going forward, the volumes can be balanced. 

Look forward to hearing the rest.  Nice job!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I hope more feedback is on its way by other interested viewers.

I will try to lower the volume on my speakers, because I was recording Noah's voice in that manner. In the video's where I do a cast alone, my voice comes through clearly. This leads me to think that lowering the volume on my speakers should solve this issue.

Hey guys! Any requests on specific matchups to see these 3 decks face?

[JarofFortune]

Oath, shops, and delver are the biggest ones I'd like to see. Maybe a blue combo-control deck as well.

I couldn't finish the video (too long). Unfortunately since my English poor, I have to pay lots of attention to follow all your explanation, but my multitasking nature does not help

I was a bit surprised to see only mentors as creatures in the second list. Well, it really represents what I can expect from a TPS list with mentors, but it's strange to see a list with just 3 creatures when you two are involved :p

I'll try to finish the 5C list explanation tonight.

About interesting matches for me:

TPM (the perfect menstorm): BUG, MUD
5C humans: oath, gifts (this should be a good pairing but I'm not sold)
