    Hey everyone! You may have noticed some changes on this new Close Quarters episode. I am always working hard to improve this series and I would love your feedback on it! Thanks in advance!

      Hey Mitch! This was super clear and concise, maybe just cut when people take time to think and don't inform us. I personally don't think it's necessary. Maybe some more chat about plays and what they mean for the context of the game. Otherwise this is awesome dude! You've improved this series so much and it's really appreciated!!

      Eddie vs mitch is a 1000 bucks deck centered around a well known powerful commander vs a 100 bucks deck centered around a lesser known less strong theme. It’s of course super likely eddie will win almost every game between the two of them. Just the remark in the game about an ashnod’s altar and Mitch kind of saying it’s out of budget. That’s the difference between the two people and their decks. Mitch builds a synergy while eddie would build a combo.

    I think this video was a lesson for all... The more you let someone (coughEddiecough) search for lands, the greater their chances of drawing good cards instead of lands. And as Eddie showed in this game, that hand full of lands might get exchanged for things you wish they didn't have.

    Hey Mitch, so good to see new content! Some feedback I believe you would really benefit from:
    Said with love: those sticky notes are absolutely horrible. The new design is SO cool though, it's quite calming and a good flow!
    Having the arrow-change over is sooo much better than the black screen and text from before. If you want to keep the text of 'what goes on that rarely ever is interesting', maybe find something that fits the theme of the background/piggy bank, rather than the sticky notes?
    Also, I think the two player-screens should be without their right-side border, so it just attaches to the board-screens border. That way it doesn't seem disconnected between the 4 players, and the room comes more together.
    Hoping for a lot more episodes soon! Live long and blame Eddie

    Edit: I really dig the changes. You got it all. Facecams, turn counters, life counters, card preview, and even the little notes explaining the edits and making jokes and such. Nice touch. fairly minimal glare on cards. The only improvement I could see made it the lighting, which is fairly well done but pretty flat. I understand the reasoning with what I assume is a green/digi green/blue screen but you can shape it around the players. Then with a little more fiddling, probably get rid of even the least glare on the clearest card, no matter the sleeves. You don't have to live like this.
