I just want to gain some kudos to you for your win and report. It truly made me sit back and think more about this game and how to tinker with my books based on my meta. Very insightful and love seeing it all work out!

YEAH! You just composed my tonight plan. Bottle of wine, some candels, bbq and beastmaster vs necro

There's a joke here but don't want to be flagged for inappropriate! 

That's pretty cool how you got a video up while managing to be at Gen Con! Can't wait to check this out!

...I think something is wrong with me...I am so amazed at it's feathers and how the bird looks...yes, the card is pretty awesome as well but...that bird...why is it so well groomed?!

Yes, I know I'm weird!

If you contact customer service we can get you taken care of. It's actually a pretty simple fix, so don't worry we want you to have the best experience possible.

They aren't kidding about this. I remember my pre-order didn't have promos and they sent me a those and "a couple more". Yeah, they definitely do take care of you. If you do have any issues, I know they will resolve it so don't hesitate.

Hmm, thats a very deep idea. Right now, game play videos are just for actual players. Make it a watchible for ppl from "outside" that could be a challange.

First, you would probably need some gifted comentator. I had a chance to stumble over some guys who could be pros, when i was playing Company of Heroes (pc game). Even my friends, which didnt even play the game once could watch it and have a fun despite they didnt fully know the game.

Second, you will need more camera angels. Sometimes, you need to check some details, sometimes, all action is happening in a distant corner and would be also nice to had a chance to look at each players spellbook and "drawn" cards.

But thats just me mumbling for my self You are doing a great job and i cant wait for another episode

Yeah, it's a pretty lofty dream. The only way poker could have done it was because they had the players and base to be able to try something huge like they did in 2003 when they first televised the WSOP. It was a smart way of being able to show their product. I think for MW at it's infancy/early childhood that we need to first create enough buzz through the players we have (Ambassador program, YouTube, etc.) to be able to grow. This is why this gameplay video is so important because it gives a tangiblity (is that even a word?!) to the game and you can see it in action.

It's not ready for the commentators and multiple angles just yet because the base doesn't exist yet. Once we can though, then we should explore that option. It technically can be done now with the right budget (in a way, they will need a mini-studio similar to the make up of YouTube celebs) but whether or not it's worth the invest at this point is really what holds it back.

Sorry for this long winded conversation about a video instead of the game. I'm not criticizing it but just mentioning it's growth potential which I'm sure AW knows. Keep cranking videos because this will inspire people (like me) to perhaps dabble in it to grow the fan base.

Thanks for continuing these LoW.  Like others have said, I love having game play videos available, so I appreciate you going through the effort of making/posting these. 

When all else fails, throw fire at their face!   

I don't know which player you are but I was rooting for the Priestess to pull off the comeback so I was disappointed when he gave it away, but it was a good game none the less.  Did raise a couple of questions to me about the game in general, though, namely about aggression vs. the long game and playing to win as opposed to playing to not lose. 

Good stuff, gents!

Thank you sir!

I probably should have mentioned which Mage I was I was trying out the Adramelech Warlock.

& I was obviously trying to swarm, which didn't work so well. At least against the Priestess. I'll have to try it again vs another Mage, but probably won't record that match. Both my matches so far have featured the Adramelech Warlock so I'll probably use something else next time.

You definitely fixed many of the concerns people had so props to you. I loved what you did in the second one with showing the cards just in case people didn't catch it or whatnot but the next step would be HQ vids and so forth. If poker can figure out a way to televise their stuff and increase their popularity, I'm sure MW community can (potentially an intern or someone who's in charge of social media marketing). I think my friend and I may try to do something like this too and experiment since we got some down time.

As for the gameplay, mid-late game Warlock is rather tough due to mana constraints. I'm wondering how Sesiryx would have done if he got out. I like that he curses and can cast which saves actions. I'm also wondering if LoF can come out any time except the beginning? I wonder if a LoF turn 2 and then Pentagram+Harmonize turn 4 would work.

Keep up the vids and you got my sub on YouTube!

So WildFire Imp will also benefit from Lion Savagery... hmm...

My understanding is that it won't work with Wildfire Imp because it teleports instead of taking a move action which would not allow it to get the charge from Lion Savagery but I could be wrong here.
