[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Oh no 😨 I’ve just been told that the player playing the black deck is playing an Alpha deck and not Beta 😱 Shame on me, I thought it was all Beta 🤯 Anyway, a beautiful deck and a pretty sweet match. Enjoy and have a merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@ASMRChess]

You can change the title easily in YT studio

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I know, but my comments and everything is still talking about Beta. Annoying 😭

[@mennosoethout6462]

Thanks for the uploading this match. It was a nice dynamic game! I'm the Alpha black player, too bad for the glare. It would have shown the demonic hordes on +/- 16mins. Too bad i lost game 3 due to that nasty greater realm of preservation. I needed to draw my demonic tutor or chaos orb to get rid of it. Alpha doesn't have any other options to remove a enchantment. Unfortunatly i didn't draw either and lost game 3. Did have lots of fun tough 😁

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thank you for playing on stream. It was a great match to look at and your deck is stunning! He simply drew too many swords, but if he hadn't... that moment when your demonic got a swords 😭

[@pablomtg6657]

Yesssss!!!! Thomas, please have a stressless time with love around you. ( and maybe some oldschool matches :)) very interesting matches this time, but this glare... Is stupid. Thank you for your work, your very cool videos!!!! Best wishes to you!!!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thank you Pablo and you too! Christmas is very relaxed at the moment :) And yes, glare is stupid and my worst enemy! I'll probably set up a Patreon in 2020 to try to get some funds for a better camera and tripod (film from above) so I can have less of a glare problem. Merry Christmas Pablo🎄🤟

The black card with the two eyes is word of command. It is a reserve list card only printed in alpha, beta and unlimited.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thanks Armor, it’s one of those amazing cards that you don’t see very often :)

[@whitearmortk900]

Timmy the Sorcerer I actually run two in my old school mono black deck! :)

[@todd8237]

Another great video. Loved the alpha deck

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thank you Todd 👍

[@MattcasterMage]

Royal Assassin was my go to as a kid

[@nicholascallis]

Word of Command was the card!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

That’s the one!! Thank you 🙏 It’s such a bad ass card. Do you know the story behind the art? It’s pretty good.

[@nicholascallis]

@@TimmytheSorcerer Ive heard that Jesper Myfors regrets the art and it's his least favorite piece. I personally like it.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Exactly, Richard saw the art and wanted to use it. Jesper never intended it to be used :)

[@mikelong2756]

Well Alpha black certainly sounds like a better name. Could also possibly be like a gangster rapper name lol. I certainly would say that it's a beautiful thing but it's putting pride in front of potential to win lol. I'd say the other deck has way more tools to work with

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Agreed, white brings so much to a deck in old school and Alpha Black sounds like a great stage name 😂 I’m not sure if pride is the right word btw. Maybe a feel for aesthetics? A big part of the game is the beauty of the cards at least it is for me. That moment when he played Demonic Hordes 🤩🤩🤩

[@mikelong2756]

@@TimmytheSorcerer correct, that's why your the sorcerer lol. I can't disagree alpha and beta are more beautiful than unlimited and that's more beautiful than revised. I own a few unlimited pieces and most of my decks are revised. Once I get a more proper area with good lighting and webcam I'll take you up on some games. Happy holidays! Stay blessed 🙏

[@ASMRChess]

Yo my name is Alpha Black/ I'm back on track/ with a badass track/ my rap is phat/ and I tap for attack!/

[@ASMRChess]

You post so much! Arrrrgh you are making me look bad lol. Gotta post some more stuff myself. How do you get the time? Looking very much forward to this video. BTW if you decide to start a patreon I'd be happy to contribute to the channel with some spare change :) Merry Christmas :)

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

😂 sorry, we’ve had some pretty cool tournaments lately. I try to upload twice a week and the Scryings opening came in between. I usually try to schedule in half a day a week to make two vids. As long as it’s fun, I’ll keep doing it :) I have been thinking about starting a Patreon to get some better equipment (glare is my worst enemy these days) 🙏 Have a Marry Christmas 🎄 (on my way to family as I’m typing this :))

[@ASMRChess]

@@TimmytheSorcerer well the problem with glare is not easily solved with gear. It is unfortunately most of all a question of camera/light positioning and when you leave the setup to go play somewhere else then you will face this issue a lot of times. Of course you can get a big setup and coordinate a proper lighting with bounce boards etc with the organizers but that'll be a lot of work. Merry Christmas to you as well :) if you have technical questions feel free to ask them. I work in video.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I do actually, I’m looking for an arm and tripod to attach it to so I can record from a bird’s eye view perspective. Do you know a good brand by any chance?

[@ASMRChess]

@@TimmytheSorcerer manfrotto :)

[@tenbre5748]

I love the “one set decks”. Shame about the glare though

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

The glare 🤦🏼‍♂️ it’s my number 1 enemy. The problem is that I play at these tournaments and record at the same time. I need better equipment and an assistent ☝️

[@jasonjames9836]

The “WB midrange” player has some amazing draws to have all those Swords to Plowshares. The Alpha deck is so gorgeous! Kudos to him for having such an awesome deck. And isn’t that a Greater Realm of Preservation from Legends being used as a CoP?

[@soldierofmankind]

Decklist on the deadguy ale please. Thank you 🙂

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Yes it is 👍 thank you :)) I agree about the black deck, simply stunning 🤩

[@macadoo1588]

I think the B/W mid-range had a few Swords up his sleeve. Lol!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

He was so lucky with all those swords flying around 🗡

[@soldierofmankind]

Decklist on the deadguy ale please. Cheers. 🙂

[@stefanocasciceccacci2764]

For mono 4 juzam and 4 Disc ...

[@marcopepoli6038]

That guy must have had 10 swords to plowshares on his deck, very annoying...

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

😂 some people have all the luck
