  • A couple of decades after Brian and I played one mirror match in Mountainview California we finally got to meet in person and play again at GP Vegas. I'm really looking forward to getting to know Brian better, he's truly an Amazing person!

    Hey Everybody. Of course it's completely valid to dislike a video and leave a thumbs down... but for the 4 people whom did leave a thumbs down I would really appreciate a few short comments about why you are leaving thumbs down. Your viewpoints DO matter to me and I want to improve my content, and I can better do that when I know what's the most wrong. Feedback is great, just be kind as you deliver it please.
    Cheers everybody :)

      Hello Mr. Edwin! If I had to surmise why, it’s probably just the same reasons as any. Group A believes Group B is responsible for old cards being expensive, when Group A never owned or planned on owning those cards ever to begin with. Like you said before, we are solely responsible for old cards drying up, Group A fails to realize we will pay hard cash for these cards, they just hate because they cannot and blame nefarious investors. No worries bro, keep up awesomeness, yet figured maybe I’d help alleviate some frustration cuz they won’t answer.

      Thanks for the answer buddy. I figured that might be the case... but I want to give them an opportunity to do something constructive rather than just spread hate.

      48 to 5 is still a good ratio! Maybe it was because of the loud announcer blaring out part of the audio lol

    I love hearing some deck tech, especially when it's from yourself and Weissman. That GP Vegas old school playmat is killer as well.

    Great video; this is the content I was hoping to get out of your GP Vegas experience "the BW and ETME" discussion. Thanks for sharing

    Epic video. Can't wait for the follow up explanation video once you're home where it's quite and you can do a break down of it all

      Hey Timothy, My voice is still shot from having to talk loud over the noise there for 4 days. When I get my voice back I'm planning to create that exact video.

  • @gratuitousfootnote1183

    Hi Edwin, Just wanted to say that you are my favorite oldschool magic youtuber. Pound per pound, you deliver the most substantive content, at least in terms of strategy, deck tech, and community coverage. Once I get a web cam, I hope to one day play a match against you.At the moment I am gripped by Titania's Song. I don't think I will ever be able to develop a Tier 1 deck that revolves around it, but when it goes off, it makes for some really fun games. Nothing like beating your opponent senseless w/ an army of Fellwar Stones : )

    Hey Edwin congrats on being runner up! I'm surprised you took out the Berserks as that was the key card in the earlier iteration. I would love to play you on Forge.

    • @EdwintheMagicEngineer
      @EdwintheMagicEngineer  Před 6 lety

      Hey R A,
      This was a specific build for the Meta that I was expecting to see. Unstable Mutation and Berserk are definitely NOT permanently out of the deck. They are still a solid game plan for this build when the Meta is correct for them. You will likely see those cards re-enter this deck in the future :)
      I would love to play as well, but I would prefer a video game over Skype or Appear.in :)

    This is great stuff. I didn't get a chance to meet you at this GP, maybe next time.

    • @EdwintheMagicEngineer
      @EdwintheMagicEngineer  Před 6 lety

      Thanks TapTenMana, yeah I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up. Hopefully next time.

    Nice video Edwin, Me and my dad have been grinding Old School and have been loving the format ever since your suggestions at GP Vegas.

    You were not playing the turbo stasis deck? Please stream more video with it! I'm also wondering why eveyone is playing the winter mishra's factory ?

    • @EdwintheMagicEngineer
      @EdwintheMagicEngineer  Před 6 lety +2

      Hey Nicolas,
      Yes, no Turbo Stasis deck at GP Vegas Championship for me. My best guess was that at least half the Meta would be playing "The Deck" and the modern Old School builds of The Deck are playing 4x Disenchant, 4x Counterspell, 1x Mana Drain, and even 1-2x Red Elemental Blast main deck! It's honestly like that deck is pre-sideboarded against Turbo Stasis which makes for a VERY tough match up. In my solo-play style testing... It became apparent that RUG Crazies had a better win ratio against this Meta. Since I felt it was more important to put up a solid performance than just show up my token build... I went with RUG Crazies.
      Everybody plays Winter Factories just for bling factor because they are now going for north of $700 each.

    • @digrouz
      @digrouz Před 6 lety

      Hi Edwin, thanks for the explanation :) Too bad for the turbo stasis, the deck is so fun! Will you stream something about that RUG Crazies by any chance?

    • @EdwintheMagicEngineer
      @EdwintheMagicEngineer  Před 6 lety +1

      Probably not a stream, but a video review of the matches, my changes to RUG Crazies, and where I'm taking that deck next after talking to Weissman :)

      Just curious can I have a link to your eBay just to see what you sell because I was looking to pick up dual lands do you sell anything like that?
