G2R1: I might be a bit biased because of how much i love slamming ice fang, but with 3 basics under me Strix into strix against tempo seemed like a "put them in check, Bowman or Bust" situation. Now that i think about it Brainstorm is SUUPER greedy here: Im not gonna bust out the hypergeometric calc during breakfast. But you do need specifically a blue source so 3 looks at an 11outer should be a ~45% chance you just lose on the spot in that situation
1:03:30 keeping 3x bolt and kcommand off the brainstorm here is just lethal on your turn, was there smth you were playing around them getting off the eye of ugin here?
I only had 4 mana and 2 red sources at that point so going for lethal unfortunately wasn't an option. I thought I'd try to convert some of the other cards (Bowmasters in this case) into some damage as well while keeping some kind of ability to react to whatever they did. Also since there was no option to shuffle in there, I knew all that burn would stay in orbit and I put the last Bolt on top to hide from Thought-Knot Seer. If I could've ended it there I would have though! Eldrazi Aggro doesn't play too many tricks like that.
Game 2 round 1 instead of casting brainstorm, you should've cast baleful Strix, it would have got swords. Next turn cast another baleful strix, that could have contested the murktide.
Game 1 round 2 against painter you had cling, strix, and bowman without any interaction. I would have cast the cling and strix on the 1 down turn. The next turn, your draw was brainstorm, which got countered. Most likely, if you had cast the stix on the previous turn, it would have been countered, allowing you to be 4 cards further into your deck. Against combo, it's better to search for and answer instead of representing you have one, and in that position, your opponent is always going to go for it.
G1R1 is among the best games i have seen on yt, stay nimble king!

Great line! As we saw the Brainstorm did not work out :)

Great line as always! I can sometimes miss these when I'm playing live... and when I'm not XD
@JamesKisau You play very well, and I've learned a lot from you. Thank you
