    I'd gladly watch a 30 minute video and see you get further in depth, for what it's worth. I always prefer longer videos with more info, though. Just always feels like a waste to watch a 6 minute video and learn basically nothing, 10 minutes is about the shortest i like. i get that I'm probably an outlier, but I'd love to have seen the version of this video where you go in depth on everything you said would make it too long.

      Strategy KB Yeah, exactly. There's a group of channels I like that deal with ARGs/creepypasta and very rarely IRL stuff and one of those channels is very prolific and their videos are 6-7 minutes long. it's unfortunate because it's content i'm interested in, but since other people put out 45 min to 2 hour videos he's just got more stuff out, and it's way lower quality. I'll watch it occasionally but man it's disappointing.

      Agreed, and slow down a touch. IMO for the players that need this info the most, they will likely not have the familiarity with the cards your naming to fully understand the context.

    When it comes to high mana cards. . . I read an article (about a different card game) that pointed out, its better to have 2 or 3 lower mana cost cards that can do the same thing as a high mana card. One reason that might be is card draw. .another is it can be more efficient, keep you using you most or all of your resources every turn. I find there’s some truth in this, but decks based on ‘greed’ do quite well, too. I know when building my own deck, it almost always improves the win rate using lower and lower mana cost cards until I’ve built just one more aggro deck. Good deck builders and good decks pull it off though, using higher mana cards, as witnessed by winning deck deck-lists.

    But there are 5 deck archetypes not 3. Aggro, Midrange, Control, Tempo, and Combo.
    A midrange deck and a Tempo deck aren't the same thing.
    If you look at the curve, Tempo decks are heavily shifted to 0-3 mana cards. Whereas Midrange is more a smooth round hill.
    If you talk about curve, that's the discussion. Aggro vs Tempo vs Midrange.
