Another Dead MTG Board

Didn't mean to turn on you. That analogous comment I made sounds harsher than I meant it.WoTC prints one little innocuous 1 drop and the FoS turn on each other.
I feel like it closer now than before but R/w is pretty damned close and shares the same conceptual space... and is proven.It's better in some cases and worse in others. By itself, Stonewright was a 1/1 that needed a partner to do anything. In topdeck mode, Lightning Berserker is bonkers.
It's been a long time since red decks had such an efficient mana sink. I'm interested to see what else comes out of the set. Maybe Big Red can be a thing again.
Because red is supposed to "share" mana acceleration with green since it isn't getting anymore land d or some such color pie bullshit. However, they saddle it with "bad" acceleration creatures because they don't want to obsolete green and any ritual they make contributes to the storm deck forever. Those 2 factors... most likely, and thus weird mostly unplayable mana-ish guys in red.Aren't cards like Generator Servant and Dragonlord's Servant played like green cards? Why do they keep appearing in red?
Don't forget it's like a reusable Fireball.I just love it as a mana sink that can survive Slagstorm/Anger of the Gods in my Koth deck.
That song is so catchy.Going Ham. Damn, damn, DAMN!
It has some similarities when looking at it within each deck's respective format, but in a vacuum the two decks differ greatly. Back in the days of INN/RTR Big Red we had mana sinks like Stonewright and Hellion Crucible to help fight flood. There are no such tools at the disposal of RW. Soulfire Grand Master requires at least 5 mana to be useful (and usually more), while Stonewright could do his business early and late while Hellion Crucible only required three mana total AND was a land itself.I feel like it closer now than before but R/w is pretty damned close and shares the same conceptual space... and is proven.It's better in some cases and worse in others.

Id like to see this work I like 2 1/2 of the cards right now Berserker/Thunder regent and the haste spell (which is a different thing all together) but what I think would easy the decks existence quite a bit is a "skull crack" of some kind. No needed "perse" but would make things a LOT easier. So far so good.
Look at the bacon!Going Ham. Damn, damn, DAMN!
Bitrate = Variablevideo settings, resolution, ect
Is it a good program? Is it what you used for your Modo stuff a while back?I can teach you a trick to use free Camtasia forever without having to resub free trials with new emails
Thanks very much Ham, will try. My monitor is only 720P, I assume setting it to 1080P is incorrect for me?Your video doesn't necessarily look shitty, but I think you have something odd going on with respect to native resolution / aspect ratios.Anyone with experience using FFSplit to record MODO for Youtube? I'm recording in 720P but my youtube videos are coming out shitty. I'm sure there is a setting I missed somewhere. A video for reference:

Help?
Step 1: Native Resolution
The first thing you need to determine is whether you want to record in 1080p or 720p, or something higher if you're a maniac. Check out this page for a visual of the various resolutions.
Streaming services like Twitch or broadcast services like YouTube usually have restrictions on the format of the video they will accept. I've only used Twitch, so check with YouTube specifically for resolution / frame rate restrictions.
In FFSplit, go to Options > Encoder tab.
The Video Resolution option sets the base resolution for your recording. I record in 1080p, so I set it to 1920x1080. I also set it to 30 frames / second, which is a standard capture rate for mild games. Twitch caps the video bitrate at 3500 kbps, so I set it there.
Step 2: Capture Window Resolution
Download the standalone program Sizer. Sizer allows you to create presets and resizes windows automatically to the specifies preset resolution and position on-screen. I have a preset called "MTGO - 1540x1040" that resizes a window to 1540x1040, then aligns it to the left edge of the screen.
All the hard work you've done will mean nothing if you're sloppy with your game capture. To capture MTGO using the v4 client, you need to set it to "Capture Window", select the MTGO main client, check the "Only Client Area" option, "Show Mouse Cursor", and "Capture as Region". These options allow the sub-windows that MTGO creates to be captured, along with the mouse cursor in-game.
In the FFSplit main window, click on the MTGO capture window and notice that the "Layer" frame has some settings. That Sizer preset we used now comes in handy here. Set the Width and Height to match the setting you set in Sizer for the MTGO window. The X/Y are the offsets from the top (0) and left (0) edge of the screen. If you want a full screen 1080p MTGO window, your settings would be X:0, Y:0, Width:1920, Height:1080.
In my case, I have a custom streaming background with some sub-windows, so I use X:20, Y:20, Width:1540, Height:1040.
It's important that your game capture window has the exact same resolution in FFSplit that your window does on your monitor. I expect that the blurring you're seeing on your stream is because of up-scaling or down-scaling. This occurs when you have a small window that you stretch to fit a higher resolution. It will blur the areas between the pixels. It's always better to record and stream at the resolution you intend to show for your viewers.
Step 3: Stream Dat Ass
Start your stream or start the recording, then stop after 30 seconds. Watch your playback at the intended resolution to verify that your stream looks sharp and is sized correctly.
*blushes*love ya Khaos, but I just don't see it. Wouldn't mind being wrong though - I like red, after all
Thats cool. I talk alot about archetypes and the archetype we WANT to play overall is demigod red. So I'm not exactly stunned that you'd prefer the addtional mana sinks of stonewright and friend, not to mention the almighty "Thundermaw".It has some similarities when looking at it within each deck's respective format, but in a vacuum the two decks differ greatly.

If you asked me what I preferred in a red deck between the two, INN/RTR Big Red would be my answer, and it wouldn't be particularly close.
