A concept that is honestly the key to much of what I've learned about this game (and probably extends to life in general) - do not be afraid to ask "stupid questions." It's covered from a few angles in the vid, but I'm just mentioning it explicitly. If you see a decklist and a certain card doesn't make sense to you - ask why they put it there. If you hear "[x] matchup is so easy" and you think it's hard - ask for more information. If you know a card is "good" but it's not quite clicking, ask people why: e.g. Codex of Frailty. It is obviously "good," but there are like 4 extra/niche ways it can be _ridiculous_ that I would never have arrived at on my own. Being a little vulnerable & very curious goes a long way!
I started following your videos right after one of your first Zen videos and after that I improved a lot, I tested a lot of things with your videos and learned! I loved the video and would like to see more videos like this
Once I hit a critical mass of new subjects I want to touch on, I'm planning on making a followup Currently what I have on the list of other subjects: 1. Rate deep dive (what cards are good rate/bad rate and why etc) 2. The information economy (what should we be revealing to our opponent vs keeping secret, and threat tracking is also part of this) 3. Over pitching - why we want to get rid of cards in order to dig deeper in the deck But yeah we'll definitely be making a video at some point once I have time to think
Thanks a bunch! We were a bit critical of ourselves for this video because I think there's a lot to touch on and a few different audiences we're trying to address Might make a followup video at some point if we get a critical mass of other topics people want us to cover
I take offense to your statement that Zen is not a difficult hero to pilot well. Zen is very hard to pilot and that's why I'm not good at playing the hero. It has nothing to do with a lack of skill on my part.
I think the way I intended that statement is that once you know the main zen tricks (chase aspect, levels transcend, two card transcend etc) the deck can sometimes play itself or get repetitive (at least with how long I've been playing). I meant that more in a humble way (that I'm not exerting a ton of brain power playing a chase the tail line), but there's definitely a lot of complexity to zen that makes him difficult.
I’ve recently went back to chess since it’s a universal game without product pushing or card prices. Totally worth it, for me I wish I could’ve gotten more into this game but there is zero local support in western Connecticut
watched the whole vid, and just wanted to add that the nuu mu still isn't that great for you, its just that most nuus aren't that great. great nuus can change playstyle on the fly to punish your own.

Very good point, pinning this so other can see it

This is good, Im gonna share this with my brain.
Really thorough video. I’ll send this to new and intermediate players looking to improve going forward.

@ this is exactly the kind of comprehensive content the community needs imo, so your efforts are appreciated!
that said, great video for beginners. thanks for making, will probably share
Great video as always.
This is good content. I'm going to share it with our new players.
Good video, can recommend, would watch again! :3
Thank you so much for this video :)
NP, glad you enjoyed!
@FleshAndBad i'm gonna be using this guide to reference and practice for my up coming rtn season :)
8:47 wizards dont play any good cards. 😢 we are to powerful so LSS has to keep us in line some how.
We have a video in the works on that too, Tegan's working on it
@@FleshAndBad I look forward to it!
@@ProfessorX-oe3og This is Tegan I miss wizard so much

they should put codex of frailty in chess
@ that’s the queen
