It's that time again, folks! I played in another Magic Online PTQ and the event didn't crash this time, so I got to record it for you. I brought Mythic Conscription to battle this time around, and it did not disappoint. I thought it was going to be a good choice for the metagame in that tournament, and I felt like I wasn't too far off.
It was my first time playing the deck, and holy cow is it good. The sideboard is a little off in the numbers, but the deck is still a real contender. M11 is not on Magic Online yet, but these videos are mostly about the technical play and general statements about match-up dynamics, which are fairly consistent between the old and new formats.
I get a little sleepy towards the end of the recordings, as you'll soon see, but the choice was to post it as is where I might have made some huge errors or commentated like a drooling idiot, or to reshoot it and re-upload it, which means you would get it on Friday. I made the executive decision to publish it sooner rather than perfect, as it is time sensitive if you want to learn something before the PTQ this weekend.
