Hey folks,

First time poster on TMD, despite being a longtime member of The Source. My name is James Hsu, I'm the co-founder of CardBoard.Live and creator of the Humans of Magic podcast.

A few years ago I interviewed Roland Chang for Humans of Magic. We kept in touch. Fast forward to March 2020. In the midst of COVID-19, I decide to step into Vintage for the first time AND catch up with Roland. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Here's our playthrough together. I run Roland's 75. He tells me how to actually play the deck. Much fun was had.

This is so cool! Really enjoyable to hear two smart people talk through the league like this. Hope you enjoyed making it.

@brass-man I loved making the video, and Roland is always great to talk to. In fact, I've played quite a number of matches since this video, so I would say that I have officially gotten hooked on the format

Just wanted to say this was a terrific watch. Really informative and insightful discussion that I found really entertaining and valuable. Would love to see more stuff like this.

cool to see our match from your perspective. Sorry it had to go time. I probably would have conceded if I wasn't so salty from trying to run through a league with jund.

Thank you all for watching! Just recorded another League with a friend, this time on PO, and looking forward to releasing soon.

Advance warning that the play wasn't super high-caliber (99% me), but the series is meant to introduce decks to new players, so appropriate

@ian-mars No worries! MODO clock is fair and part of the game, I didn't mind at all.
