  1. @29:22 I think the play here was to let the Archfiend swing, then on your turn cast Into the Floodmaw on an Archfiend, copy it with the now 3 power Kitsa, then Floodmaw the other archfiend. This would have slowed the opponent down two turns instead of one.

  2. In match three versus enchantments, would it not be better to sac the Researchers with Hexcatcher's ability in response to the Ossification/Sheltered by Ghosts? It doesn't counter the spell, but it puts the merfolk in the graveyard for potential recursion with Cauldron.

  3. Why are we going infinite on our own turn?! Do it on their end step. Maybe they don't know it. Maybe they don't board wipe because they don't realize they're dead. This will never stop confusing me

  4. How often when you play best of one do you end up against someone playing a 200+card deck that somehow magically (no pun intended) actually works? Every time I make a deck over 70 cards it never functions correctly, mull to 3 before getting a land (30+ in the deck) draw only 5+ cost cards when I only have 3 mana etc.

  5. You don't need to put a counter on Marvin with Agatha's Soul Cauldron if you have another creature out with a counter on it. That creature gets all the abilities of the creatures under the cauldron, then Marvin gets them via his own ability.

  7. Somehow the volume on my phone got turned all the way up, so I just went to lay down after getting off work, clicked this video, and got jump-scared so hard by Seth’s voice that I dropped my phone on my face and smacked a tooth. Oww.

  8. I feel like AtO has been primarily combos for a long time. I miss the days of grindy value engines like Panharmonicon or Seance. Can we see more of that style sometimes mixed in?
