Shadow Era Commentaries by arebelspy

I've started doing some ShadowEra commentaries. This is the main thread where I will link to all my commentaries. Each individual commentary will have its own thread and will link to the YouTube video for that commentary.

1) If you have a comment on an individual video, leave the comment in that thread. If you have a comment on my commentaries in general, or a request, or anything else, put it in this thread.

2) I do take requests - if you want to see something specific, let me know. If you play an epic game vs. someone, let me know and I'd love to cast your game.

3) My videos tend to be targeted towards more middle/advanced players, or ones looking to get better. Not noobs looking to learn the game. If you're newer, feel free to watch, but you'll likely want to pause a lot and go read the cards. I tend to assume you know what the cards do, and talk more about the strategic plays you can use with them. I rarely explain a card's text (unless the video focuses mostly on that card)

4) And finally, to preempt the many comments I will get on my screenname: Yes, it is pronounced "a rebel spy." 3 words. I've used this screen name long enough to know most of you were probably mispronouncing it as "are bel spy" or something like that. It is indeed a rebel spy.

----------------------
All of the above was posted September 2011 or earlier (1.263 games). All of the below is Nov 2012 and later.

NEW:
Commentary 19 - Viewer Game #6 - Amber vs. Majiya (Amber v. Majiya) - WARNING: This is a 1.263 game. The cards are very out of date in this game. It's under this section because it was recorded in 2011, but not posted for over a year. So it is a new video to watch, but based on very old meta.

1.612 games:
Commentary 20 - I'm Back! Plague is not. (Lance v. Zhanna)
Commentary 21 - Why Anklebreaker is Good (Lance v. Gravebone)
Commentary 22 - Crawling Back Versus Logan's Lead (Lance v. Logan)

More new videos with the current cards will be coming very soon.

Great win against Jericho. That video made me lmao as well. "and Jasmine can just wave her fanny at anything which comes on the board and stun them." xD

:P

Yeah, I don't actually read the cards, so some of them I forget the name of, or have no idea how to pronounce.. like I think I kept calling Blood Frenzy "Bloodlust" or "Blood Fury" or something like that in one of the videos. This is one reason why the videos are aimed at more advanced players. I don't know what the hell I'm saying, so you'd better know the cards well enough to figure out what the hell I'm saying.

(I.e. if I'm talking about card draw advantage hat Jericho can remove and I say bloodlust, I'm probably NOT talking about a card that gives your allies +2 attack).

Portal vid was also good. The first video seemed to be a lot higher quality but lagged a tonne.

Until now you only showed victory games. I'll request a video of a defeat with some commentary of what could you have done differently to maybe win the game, I think that the games I learn more is the ones I lose, and I usually watch them to see what could I have done different.
