Let’s go Harlan! Watching now. Thanks for being open to feedback and not spoiling. 😎

[@ericmolt5821]

As usual love the thought process and the explanation for why we need to do what we do.

[@alateralus88]

oh, nice... these videos are great thanks for the upload

[@parttimecomix]

Helpful as always!

[@whitewarlock1185]

You did gain the 5 in game 1. You had the fortisphere you popped with hiram after the dime activation. So you had 3 items and your opponent only the 2.

[@harlansweete]

Perfecttt, I think it didn't matter in the end? I was just nervous for making mistakes lol

[@lerak8452]

At 19:20 you had 10 ink. Played 4 ink for Hiram. Drew 2 cards (fortisphere and another) paused, taped the cards, and played a fortisphere for free. Drew Zues used the remaining 6 ink for Ariel and sang Zues with Beast removing Sisu.

[@harlansweete]

We sang zeus from the beast :)

[@lerak8452]

@harlansweete talking about playing fortisphere. You didn't have the 1 ink. You had 10 ink and played 11 ink worth of card. 4 for Hiram, then 1 for fortisphere but didn't exert anything. Then, played Ariel with the remaining 6 ink.

@@lerak8452 Good spot! Lost that game as well.

[@AlvaroOlivo-nt5sg]

At 35:34 you tap both fishbone quills to ink. At 36:35 you tap a fish bone again to ink for a 3rd time with the quills in a turn. It doesn't end up mattering too much since one of the cards inked was a let it go which is inkable and you did not ink for turn. Figured I'd point it out in case you care.

[@harlansweete]

thanks for the heads up! Yea I have got a lot more into making sure to exert and unexert my quill for this very reason. I have also sped up how quickly I play. So this is a good shout.

[@AlvaroOlivo-nt5sg]

@@harlansweete Appreciate the footage and Blue Steel content. I'll be testing your list today/probably this week so this is all super helpful

[@ikaikatetuanui9340]

love the vids. only issue (more of a habit from pixelborn). players readying ink during end of turn or in some other vids, not even exerting ink. Keep the vids coming

[@harlansweete]

@ikaikatetuanui9340 I went into this game sorta in my practice mindset. We are both friends and know we wouldn't cheat. So I was a little relaxed with my ink. During events I focus up and have never had a complaint about my ink management. Suppose when I'm on camera I should also focus up!

[@ikaikatetuanui9340]

@@harlansweete getting my son and a few of his friends into game. He loves blue/steel and i suggested some of ur vids/guides. love the live game content

[@harlansweete]

@@ikaikatetuanui9340 This has been my favourite comment so much, Thank you so much

[@alateralus88]

hey maybe u have mentioned this before, but i think im having problems mulliganing for unknown opponent deck--- i kinda get when to go steel and when to go ramp when i know what the opponent is using, but otherwise it feels kinda tough. Besides getting diablo killcard, what else do u try to get on mulliga for unkown opponent on draw and play (if it is in one of the videos, let me know and ill check that)

[@harlansweete]

With my build, we just look for a good curve, alway want that ramp, pawp, smee, mickey. Some removal is good to keep as well! Ba boom and titans

[@leroy4569]

Its always best to just make sure you get a curve to always have a play. Also make sure that it is possible to ink during your first 3 turns. So that either you ramped to 4 for a hiram or other questers to get you started

[@Dr.noggin]

I think i wouldve played quill over belle in game one

[@djpairz]

Why is there an open coke on the table? That is the real question

[@harlansweete]

@@djpairz because the guy next to me was thirsty
