I've discussed side boarding elsewhere in an article and a video :)

It's very hard, for sure.

on MTGS or here? I know I've read it in your primer about not diluting threats and such, but I always seem to go out and in the moment derp board so I'd love to see more in action. Just asking so that you can be a bit more thorough when boarding in games to explain why things are bad and how the MU plays out etc. >_>

Noted.

There's a thread of my articles somewhere (maybe it's page 1 of the primer) that covers my approach to building a sideboard.

Best suggestions to cover I've already seen:
1: Why Firedrinkers (and obv. Cackler) are obvious for this build.
2: What 4CC spells are available to us and what they do or don't contribute to our strategy.
3: Mutavault, why or why not include it in MD and SB.
4: Sideboard against other aggro builds.

Something I haven't seen: Why we don't want to get splashy and if we decide to splashy, what color give us the edge we want? Black? Green? White?

4: Sideboard against other aggro builds.
Not many people see that but Mizzium Mortars is amazeballs against RDW. It really hurts Firedrinker Satyr. For 2 mana you're killing their creature and doing oomph straight on their face.

I'd also love to hear your analysis on Anger of the Gods. Where this card is gonna be played. Can we and if we do, then how to incorporate it into aggro deck.

talk about how the 3/3 haste maker Ogre from M14 will never see play
XD I soo much wanted him to be good, but realize that he isn't. Too bad he wasn't a goblin though :yes:
I still have hope for the Mogi fanatic.
There's also a rare 4CC 4/5 Elemental that might have some reach potential. But Ember Swallower is probably for the sledgehammer build . . . or junk bin.

I think (M)ember Swallower has potential in the sligh sideboard when you need your 4 drop to have a little more resiliency.

If there's an incredibly quick way if doing it I would consider it, but Twitch is very easy for me and streaming and recording is already a huge time investment.

Twitch no longer automatically saves your streams. So yeah, unless you were one of the lucky few, you missed it. That issue should *now* be resolved.

Stoked for these videos Zem. Loved your Dos Rakis streams back in the day... Sometimes at FNM when I need to topdeck a spell and hit a mountain, I am fond of saying "Well, that IS a magic card" in an australian accent.

Ill re-record it this week; just a bit bummed at spending 2+ hours for nothing :P still have all my notes and the prepared graphic, so that's OK. Besides, I've got a little time for MODO to catch up anyway.

Could someone post this one up on youtube? It'll be the only way that I'd be able to watch it, and it might help bring in potential members.

How far above? When you said that Twitch was just your quickest option? If you don't want to post it to YouTube, would you be okay with someone else uploading your videos for you? I'd love to watch the videos, but I am unable to watch your twitch channel.

Like I said, I'm happy to do it if it's quick and straightforward. I don't currently know how. I don't know if YouTube will let you host 2+ hour videos.

Just wanted to add that i'm one of the few/many that greatly benefited and appreciate your work & the myriad of discussions that stemmed that became the foundation of the Clan.

Also, one of the many that missed the stream. :/ Looking forward to the future tho!

Quick notes:
- if you want to know when I'm going live (it's unlikely I'll be able to give more than a day's notice I'm afraid) you can subscribe to me on twitch for notifications of when I have streamed. Once the season starts ill be trying to play regular events, so ill be able to let you know (premier events and ptqs).
- video and audio issues are resolved!
