Seen or played any Epic Matches lately?

[Griffoneye]

Griffoneye vs KA Stonecold. So many board clears on both sides just when it looks like someone was in control they lost it again. Also 2 heroes that aren't typically able to regain control once they loose it.

My girlfriend just lost an amazing game that saw both players come back from the dead
JianSu ( Zalandar ... Not discard ) V Mongo0 ( Aramia 50+ deck )

Is it there a possibility to watch some matches? I just started the game and it would be great lesson to learn from the best

[Alzorath]

Yea, I have a few regular series that cover the game on my channel ( http://www.youtube.com/alzorath ) - FDL and GnEric also have channels with fairly current content as well ( http://www.youtube.com/FDLtelevision & http://www.youtube.com/EricsCrusade respectively )

You'll see games from this thread pop up regularly on my "Shadow Era Trials" series (GnEric does a similar series called "Community Classics" that has been running significantly longer).

For deck discussion, you'll want to check out either FDL's channel or my Shadow Era Decks Playlist.

For meltdown, I've been running my meltdown series since the play mode launched (up to around 90 episodes now), and a newcomer "greasypig" has a thread covering his recent entry into the meltdown video content creation. Not many people cover the mode unfortunately.

Occultformula vs bonripsforjesus


A really nice comback win all thanks to oliver right at the end.

[Slaggathor]

TJ Slaggathor(Banebow) vs NapoleonDynamite(Aramia)

Made a few misplays but was able to win the game with a couple of cards that you dont see too often

[greasypig]

If you've never seen a Berserker's Edge hit 29 damage (and at one point have 18 durability), check out Greasypig vs. Sama4770.

Just played it, I'll probably put a video of it up next week.

Don't bother if it was the Meltdown down game I just watched .... Sadistic self indulgence if I ever saw it.. I don't know why the guy didn't quit ...you could have finished him off on about turn 7 ... Save your time folks ... Nothing to see here

yeah I imagined that's what was being described there...
epic games are games in which something truly impressive happens, or there are many turn-arounds. They're games where the players can both leave with respect for one-another and some appreciation for how the game played out. Blowouts are rarely epic. Maybe if you got some ridiculous lucky combo (like Aramia pulling 4 buccaneers with 2 glimmer of hopes), it would be worth watching, just to see the ridiculousness.

Games where one person is clearly capable of winning, but decides to stall instead are not epic...they're not impressive to watch either. Many of us have been in situations where we were winning by a lot and could waste turns or cards doing nonsense. Unless you're playing against a friend who doesn't mind - this is not cute or fun. It's just poor sportsmanship - in football they call it excessive celebration.

[Romantic Gunner]

I've never gone a turn without delivering the kill shot if capable but I like to use up whatever resources I have remaining just before I deliver the kill shot. Is that bad? Personally, I don't think so. Usually my opponent has left before I've even had a chance to hit anyway.

What I don't like is when someone casts then cancels a targetable ability 20 times, flashing it in your face before actually using it. That's annoying.
