Timer Tribulations | Aegis S3 VOD Reviews | W1; Set 3 | Legends of Runeterra
4-- Update: This is Take 2 (actually the 6th time exporting it for me, but 2nd time uploading to YouTube). Video cut off about 30 minutes before it was supposed to, which I've chalked up to Hard Drive space. I normally culled my videos from my hard drive a week after I uploaded them for this reason, but I've been keeping all the CDS stuff there as I had a plan for reusing some clips for a seperate video. However, deleting the excess ended up freeing space for this to export properly. I think I'm to invest in an external hard drive or something soon lmoa. --

Heyo 🐿️! As always, starred games = the most interesting one within the video :). There are some notes in the desc on a few things. I really recommend reading it after Game 1, as the more and more I think about it, one unmentioned misplay is the entire reason for everything that happens in Game 1 (big thanks to Card Gamer).

Minor note: Provided all goes according to plan (no timer issues), we do also lose to Shock Blast, so out of their 3 cards they have, they could be any of about 3-4 cards for us to still lose. Mana isn't fluid, we do need to spend stuff. However, my thing about 'cute 6 mana plays' to get Albus Ferros to 11 is unnecessary, Hextech Transmoglrwiahdeier already does that lmoa.
On a much larger note: I also think there's a super super reasonable argument that seeing 'oh they can't afford vengeance, time to slam heimer down' is not a valid or logical line, and you can take it slower (/especially/ against a Jayce on field while they have 5 unit mana). It's something I don't dive into at all, mostly because that level of thinking is outside my bubble for experience with this deck (let alone this mirror): I can't justify this early on in learning this deck to not do a play like that, but if you've experience like that let me know your thoughts on the Heimer on 5 play, because I do think it can very easily just be straight wrong.
Like, the more and more I think about this I realise the absurdity of playing Heimer into a 4/4 Challenger Unit when they're about to the attack token lmoa. (And this is totally not infused from what Card Gamer says about 16 and a half minutes into the most recent Squadcast about early macro plays being the true cause of failure putting you into 30/70 positions rather than micro plays afterwards being the cause of failure).
