Tutorial on how to grow on TH-cam in 2023: ❌ Try to make interesting, long and good videos ✔️ Make shorts screaming every second, make unfunny jokes and try being a annoying person
Very interesting you mention the Mirror Piglets deck I would like to call it, it was in 8% of all decks played in Clash Royale at that time because it was the CRL 20-win Challenge and everybody and their mother was using this overpowered deck which literally beat every other deck except other Mirror decks. The stats backed it up as the best deck in the game, as the deck with the most 20 wins. Then the rest is history and Mirror was the pinnacle of the meta for the CRL 20 win challenge.
Yet another spectacular video. Your theory with the Phoenix and Monk is spot on. I feel like that the Level 2 Mirror was the ONE BUFF that it needed. I wanted to say "If it wasn't for the champions and the three cycle card scheme, the mirror would be in its best spot right now," but it wouldn't be true.
I have a couple of ideas for a mirror rework Make the mirror 0.5+ elixir. It’s not like we haven’t seen smaller increments of elixir, the E Golem gives 0.5 elixir. It would sort of work like mirror on release. It takes +1 elixir, but would jump up 0.5 elixir. Or Bring back the +2 level, but make the mirror a champion. Champions already break the card cycle and are always some of the better cards in every meta. Functionally, it just removes the need to balance a >3 card cycle.
Making it a Champion would KILL the card in my opinion. Epics are already hard to get consistently and specifically the one you want, much less a rarity two tiers above that that is split between five cards and requires a much higher arena to even begin unlocking. The +0.5 elixir is interesting though. However, I propose a counter rework: +1.5 level increase with the same +1 elixir cost.
you could make it so that the mirror card only adds up 1/10ths of the cards normal cost. this mean skeletons would cost 1.1, while triple musqueteer would cost 9.9. the big problem with the mirror is that currently, playing it with cheaper cards is just not worth it, you must pay at the worst DOUBLE the normal cost, just to get 1level, it's just not worth it even if the right situation arises. now you can do that, without getting absurd negative elixir trade that you normally wouldn't get
I'm loving your vids man, been watching a lot of commentary content like this lately covering lots of different topics and the fact that there's someone making this kind of content about clash royale is just fantastic :) Keep up the great work!
These videos are so well-researched and fascinating, honestly surpassing what I ever thought could be analyzed from just a fun game I like. But the way you analyze balance changes, data usage, card interactions, level changes, the state of the meta, community demand, and more to explain how a card benefits, suffers, and ultimately finds a place in the game (be it in competitive, midladder, or troll decks) is just really cool and impressive
Can you make a video about "log bait"( the whole archetype or classic variation ) like what you did with 2.6 hog. Because i feel like since the launch of goblin gang it never really drop out of meta and only evolved more as time goes.
I think a good change to the mirror would be to have it work like the imitator from plants vs zombies. Instead of mirroring your last placed card, you can choose which card you want to be mirrored before a match. That way you both don’t have to fully cycle to the card and you can play a different card in between them.
Although is an unique idea, sadly it would make the mirror a spam tool, in pvz the imitator is commonly used to have a copy of a strong instant plant like cherry bomb which can disappear a wave in a blink of an eye. So it could end up taking away its versatility, boosting toxic/bait decks and making spell cycling/spam a topic again
Personally I'd just make mirrors +1 cost into +0.5 because this concept (of gaining 0.5 elixir) already exists in the case of defeating the small elixir blobs(elixir golem) .So it wouldn't take a huge overhaul of the game and buff the card similarly to what you suggested.
I like the fact that you immediately get elixer back in the beginning, requiring 5 elixer to use but costing 4 for example. Some kind of expansion on this glitch into a feature could be cool
I don't play clash royale but I actually love these videos! Very excited to see what comes next. I actually never knew that the heal spell was removed, It'd be cool to see a video about it down the line
I feel like a good project down the line would be a history of buildings and the way they've been perceived in this game. None of them on their own are nearly as interesting as something like Witch, but there are certainly trends and eras among them. Like how 2016 was dominated by spawners, or how just about every meta picks exactly one building to be on top and used far more than the others.
now that you mention it i really never saw GY on my midladder battes for any of my 4 accounts lmao. gor to 9k on like 4 accounts and i dont remember seeing a graveyard ever until 7-8k. to be fair tho theres not much reason to use GY when you can throw down megaknight or Ebarbs and beat 80% of midladder players aslong as you got a zap and fireball lmao.
@@ichigo-rz6qk Both are negative elixir trades though. A Witch, Frost Golem, EGolem, Giant, Dark Prince, Goblin Gang and even a Skeleton army would be far better options
First of all, your content quality is very high and every single video you have made is fantastic. Also I would love to see a history of Mega Minion/Mega Knight video at some point. I hope your channel continues to grow as you clearly deserve
One of the ways I could see Mirror getting buffed is by making the number of extra level dependant on the elixir cost of the mirrored card Because using 1 extra elixir for a 1 elixir card is essentially doubling the elixir cost while using it on a card with like 7 elixir doesn't increase the cost by that much relatively What I think could be a good rework is something like adding 4/3/2/1 levels for 1/2-3/4-5/6+ elixir cards, but that would require adding level 17 cards
I would love to see a video from you talking about why midladder has a strange weird decks and some cards like mk and the wizard are so common in there only
Bcs midladder players usually use cards that they have an easy mechanic and doesn't require a special timing or placement. That's why sc keeps witch and wizard in a bad spot. Witch is kinda tough to balance but wizard have a great potential to be viable
The Mirror Spirit joke really is what people would’ve said. Good thing you mentioned it, you know the community too well! That being said, Supercell made the joke first, about the recent Rage rework and nobody wanting to see a Rage Spirit. You even made the joke with a Barb Spirit in the Barbarrel video.
Hey Gratz, you should cover the Royal Giant, since it has been a very controversial card in Its history. I’m curious about its buff and nerf history. 🙏
I’ve always been an avid mirror player…it doesn’t always work but it makes interesting plays and tricks. It’s sad to see it go under again. I had my prime during the lvl 16 era…but I’m still going to play mirror because it’s fun. Not because it’s OP or because it’s the meta.
Same here, I'm a cr player who isn't playing currently but since I got mirror I have been using it. I haven't left it out in any deck. Man the lvl 16 was just too op. Like even I knew that but I loved every second of it. Glad I was playing than. Will play again but later.
Honestly i don't usually watch content like this, but you do it differently, idk what it is but i cant believe i spend 30+ min watching a video about 1 card. Keep it up, I'm sure you will grow big.
A+ work on these videos. I’m an avid player but only started 1.5 years ago. Thus these “history lesson” videos you’ve made are very illuminating and I find them fascinating. I know people who’ve been with Clash from the very beginning and it’s funny to hear their stories about “the old days”, and what you’ve done here is helping me fill in the gaps.
Honestly, I don't think overhauling elixar for one card is a viable solution. I propose the mirror costing 0 elixar, but reduce the card level by one. It'll have more synergy with cards that are less level dependent like the tornado, freeze, e-spirit. If that is too strong then reduce the card level by 2. I really liked the post EGiant nerf and mirror meta. So many unique decks and bizzare playstyles made the game fun. My favorite card to mirror is actually the fisherman, it allows having a tank be in a constant loop lol.
im assuming you mean it cost literally nothing no matter what card and in which case that would literally be the best card in the games history lmao. 0 elixir and you get a rocket. even if you make it 2 or even 3 levels lower its still one shotting so many things for it being free. and it literally makes ur deck 7 cards since the mirror is free so if you run a champion you get 2 card cycle...would also be absolutely insane on defense. imagine just throwing a golem down at ur bridge to defend urself. doesnt matter if its 4 levels lower a golem is still buying you atleast like 2-3 elixir worth of time for the low low price of free. also goes without saying that you almost just get a free win with its offensive abilities lmao. as soon as double elixir hits you just win. throw down monk and run 2 1 elixir cards then gg. just throw down egiant or golem or something then just rocket mirror cycle and you win. the mirrored rocket is still one shotting witches and what not even when 4 levels lower. either the card levels would have to be so low that its literally only possible to do anything with freeze rage and nado or the card levels are too high so spell cycle is unbeatable and you cant possibly lose on defense cause you can fr just throw down a tanky wincon like golem then mirror it then thats probably gonna buy you like 15+ elixir of time. from there just rocket that shit or just rocket and mirror rocket off rip and just about everything in the game except for tanky wincons is dead.
I love how you always put so much effort into each one of your videos and the music just brings back memory, the quality is unreal, hope to see a lot more in the future!😍
Hey , your content is amazingly great . What should I say , montaging , music , your commentary and the clips all are put in their place. Thank you a lot for this remarkable content and please keep up. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot believe that we are getting this length and depth of commentary on clash royale history. Whenever there's "nothing to watch" on TH-cam your vids always make the cut
I feel like instead of your complete overhall of the elixer system, they could just make the mirror ad +0.5 elexir to the cost, since that would have the same effect.
Yeah I was also confused why he suggested doubling all the elixir while it seems easier to just make it + 0.5 elixir, its not like the elixir bar can only be on discrete numbers
20:52 nah bro these small clips u put in are way too funny, especially with that commentary over that clip LOL also would love to say you are the best clash royale youtuber when it comes to non gameplay content, keep it up
It is amazing to see the history of not only this game,but all the cards in it is great work. With that said the editing itself is also pretty good. For me the best part is the background music used, that deku palace when first talking about the mirror was kinda cool
We can just do your Mirror fix by making mirrored cards cost +0.5 elixir. Players won’t be allergic to that-decimal numbers are fine. Just look at Elixir Blobs from the Elixir Golem; they too give out 0.5 elixir each.
I have not played this game, ever. I dislike Clash of Clans. I have no idea how I found you but I have now watched all of your videos while doing other things have been fascinated. Thank you.
Crazy how this dude was able to discover the fact that the mirror literally compensates ur -1 elixir before OJ could discover it throughout his entire career
I love how in order to make worth a card with such a simple mechanic in the surface like "copy your last used card with an extra level" is by completely breaking the game's core basics Another way possible to show some love to the mirror or at least it's concept is by adding the always expected dark mirror but only as a super card exclusive to a challenge
I love your vids they’re really entertaining to watch but I hope I’ll see other guides for banner tokens they’re so well-made even though this is the video with the least amount of view. Anyways keep up the great work! ❤️💪
Curious how it will work if cr actually did that and mirror sprit connects the princess towers , will you get another princess right in front of enemy tower ?
oh boy. the mirror. when paired with the skeleton army and the clone spell, you get something which is silly to use, sometimes very powerful, and extraordinarily easy to counter.
My solution would to be to mirror the opponents card. Since most cards can counter your opponents card if it was 1 level higher. This can be used for tons of plays since it also allows pretty much a rotating card in your deck. It can also disencourage using spells as much since you know that the spell can be mirrored and can be even stronger.
ive always thought that they should just make it mirror the last card played on the battlefield at the same level same elixir cost. this would make it an extremely versatile card whilst also not being too OP but its as good as a card as the user is. theres nothing it really couldnt do but at the same time it would be a master at absolutely nothing so you really just have to have a good plan and know what ur doing. i think it would also be a cool concept because a lot of my favorite decks only really have 7 required cards so having mirror in there to basically switch my 8th card to whatever i need in a certain situation without being down 1 extra elixir would be really nice. what better way to counter a megaknight than to mirror ur own? what better way is there to counter spell cycle then literally just stealing their spells? you could make some really strong offensive decks but at the same time having unbeatable defensive decks with maybe miner to just slowly chip away. and no skill strats like spell cycle would be removed like i touched on earlier cause if you try it then ur opponent can just mirror ur rocket posion or wtv whilst also having a big and small spell of their own so youll literally just get out damaged. super OP but super balanced at the same time imo. really makes both players have to play and think far more tactically which is what i think the game is about.
Idea: Click on the mirror to select it, then click on it again to mirror another card in your deck instead of the one previously placed. For example: I place the Log, then I play Goblin Barrel, then I select the mirror and click on it, instead of mirroring the Goblin Barrel, I mirror my Log.
The reason why they removed level 6 legendary in the early game was because of the princess not dying to max level arrows and there was no other solution to kill her without using fireball which would cost one more elixir. It was by far the most frustrating and OP card in the game I remember that I spent 1000$ opening super magical chests just to obtain one princess
Even though the mirror was totally broken with +2 levels...I have to admit - I still miss it, lol. At least it was giving some variation in otherwise quite boring meta, also the problems with +2 level mirror were mostly 3-card cycle/E-giant/EQ and some other broken cards, but all of these were fixed, so I see no issues in bringing it back, I was watching quite a bit of replays back then and it was really fun to see people trying out new decks, new variations, it was actually refreshing and providing tons of new tactical decisions, unlike now where the mirror is just same old trash, which it totally don't deserve, I hope Supercell eventually will bring it back, cause even with Monk and Phoenix it won't be OP, cause they were also nerfed, Monk is borderline useless, while Phoenix is balanced, thanks for another great video, I like your dedication on creating those kind of historical overviews, keep it up!
I have always used the mirror, and always will One of my favourite cards on how versatile it is and how you can play in unexpected ways Thank you for this vid
I already said it and everybody said it but i will say it once again... Most underrated CR channel ever fr I wait everyday until u upload i love ur vids so much keep up the grate work❤️
On your suggestion: they could also just make the mirror cost 0.5 elixr instead of 1. They already have half elixr in the game with elixr golem globs so why not with mirror?
I’m just happy that they’ve finally started releasing cards again cause like we’ve gotten four new cards just this season and we’re supposed to be getting a new goblin champion as well so I mean I’m just happy that that’s the case
I think they should make a 2 cycle mirror evolution where it gets to mirror 2 lvls higher again and can mirror the last played non champion unit after playing a champion. Then add the function where if you mirror an evolution and the mirror is also evolved, then you get a 1 lvl higher mirrored evolution.
I think that the mirror should get a -1 elixir cost, still the +1 to card level, but on the card death it would give a elixir to the oponent, dont know if that would be broken or not but that my idea, perhaps also add some kind of purplish textur to the mirrored card to signifie it or just as you said, but make the next elixir you play regenerate twoce as fast, (still need the + cost though to play it, you just get the elixir back faster)
Your idea to fix the mirror would not require any overhaul like you said if they added half elixir cost cards. Essentially if they made mirror cost 0.5 more elixir and added the possibility for other cards to be 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 etc elixir too. This would also make it a lot easier for them to balance OP cards without going overboard. I think the idea you gave would be really good for the game as a whole and not just mirror.
hey gratz i been watching your vids for a few months and they are some of the best in the CR community. i absolutely love them. a cool possible future video idea would be going over the history of xbow (2.9) which is arguably one of if not the single most polarizing archetypes to ever exist.
I think the September 2022 nerf to send it back to +1 level was requested for the CRL World Finals, which literally would’ve been no fun with mirrored e-giants/giant skellies going around. Also maybe they knew the risks for making it +2 but also considered they could safely change it back after a few months, since many players will have gone ahead and upgraded it! Profit achieved.
If they never made the mirror at launch and made it today, a great way to make it unique and awesome would be making it a building that reflected spells. It would make logical sense, since the mirror would reflect the spell back to the opponents tower. It would finally give counterplay apart from monk to spell cycling, and it would get rid of the problem of the card being used with the most toxic and overpowered cards in the meta.

Yeah I was also confused why he suggested doubling all the elixir while it seems easier to just make it + 0.5 elixir, its not like the elixir bar can only be on discrete numbers
20:52 nah bro these small clips u put in are way too funny, especially with that commentary over that clip LOL
also would love to say you are the best clash royale youtuber when it comes to non gameplay content, keep it up
Mirror was so fun even before is was +2 levels. I wish we could have that extra level back

I thought I was wrong about it at old times, but thanks for proving me true. After 5 years . . .
Would be fun to hear about some of the most toxic metas in the game history like elixir golem. What made them so oppressive and how they were fixed.
there is 2 AM and at 36 minute of wideo i realized that i watched over half an hour wideo about one card and didn't felt bored. Good job bro
This is art 🔥
Great channel
It is amazing to see the history of not only this game,but all the cards in it is great work. With that said the editing itself is also pretty good. For me the best part is the background music used, that deku palace when first talking about the mirror was kinda cool
We can just do your Mirror fix by making mirrored cards cost +0.5 elixir. Players won’t be allergic to that-decimal numbers are fine. Just look at Elixir Blobs from the Elixir Golem; they too give out 0.5 elixir each.
i don't even play the game anymore but I watch every single video immediately. i love them
Lets go! I love your content, keep it up!
I have not played this game, ever. I dislike Clash of Clans. I have no idea how I found you but I have now watched all of your videos while doing other things have been fascinated.
Thank you.
Crazy how this dude was able to discover the fact that the mirror literally compensates ur -1 elixir before OJ could discover it throughout his entire career
I love how in order to make worth a card with such a simple mechanic in the surface like "copy your last used card with an extra level" is by completely breaking the game's core basics
Another way possible to show some love to the mirror or at least it's concept is by adding the always expected dark mirror but only as a super card exclusive to a challenge
I love your vids they’re really entertaining to watch but I hope I’ll see other guides for banner tokens they’re so well-made even though this is the video with the least amount of view. Anyways keep up the great work! ❤️💪
I know absolutely nothing about nor do I plan Clash Royale. But the way you structure videos is entertaining enough.
Mirror spirit
Mirror Mirror
Curious how it will work if cr actually did that and mirror sprit connects the princess towers , will you get another princess right in front of enemy tower ?
@viroshanargiri4641 nah its like the heal spirit, it jumps on friendly troops and it just mirrors all of them
mirror…evolution.
Mirror spell
hearing a surprise Diddy Kong Racing track gave me immensely more respect for all of your content
Mirror’s job is to detect if a broken card exists or not
oh boy.
the mirror.
when paired with the skeleton army and the clone spell, you get something which is silly to use, sometimes very powerful, and extraordinarily easy to counter.
My solution would to be to mirror the opponents card. Since most cards can counter your opponents card if it was 1 level higher. This can be used for tons of plays since it also allows pretty much a rotating card in your deck. It can also disencourage using spells as much since you know that the spell can be mirrored and can be even stronger.
ive always thought that they should just make it mirror the last card played on the battlefield at the same level same elixir cost. this would make it an extremely versatile card whilst also not being too OP but its as good as a card as the user is. theres nothing it really couldnt do but at the same time it would be a master at absolutely nothing so you really just have to have a good plan and know what ur doing. i think it would also be a cool concept because a lot of my favorite decks only really have 7 required cards so having mirror in there to basically switch my 8th card to whatever i need in a certain situation without being down 1 extra elixir would be really nice. what better way to counter a megaknight than to mirror ur own? what better way is there to counter spell cycle then literally just stealing their spells? you could make some really strong offensive decks but at the same time having unbeatable defensive decks with maybe miner to just slowly chip away. and no skill strats like spell cycle would be removed like i touched on earlier cause if you try it then ur opponent can just mirror ur rocket posion or wtv whilst also having a big and small spell of their own so youll literally just get out damaged. super OP but super balanced at the same time imo. really makes both players have to play and think far more tactically which is what i think the game is about.
Idea: Click on the mirror to select it, then click on it again to mirror another card in your deck instead of the one previously placed.
For example: I place the Log, then I play Goblin Barrel, then I select the mirror and click on it, instead of mirroring the Goblin Barrel, I mirror my Log.
Your documentaries are very well made. Keep it up !
7:41 thanks for reminding me of the Super Mario Bros Wii athletic theme
The reason why they removed level 6 legendary in the early game was because of the princess not dying to max level arrows and there was no other solution to kill her without using fireball which would cost one more elixir. It was by far the most frustrating and OP card in the game I remember that I spent 1000$ opening super magical chests just to obtain one princess
Wtf
Even though the mirror was totally broken with +2 levels...I have to admit - I still miss it, lol. At least it was giving some variation in otherwise quite boring meta, also the problems with +2 level mirror were mostly 3-card cycle/E-giant/EQ and some other broken cards, but all of these were fixed, so I see no issues in bringing it back, I was watching quite a bit of replays back then and it was really fun to see people trying out new decks, new variations, it was actually refreshing and providing tons of new tactical decisions, unlike now where the mirror is just same old trash, which it totally don't deserve, I hope Supercell eventually will bring it back, cause even with Monk and Phoenix it won't be OP, cause they were also nerfed, Monk is borderline useless, while Phoenix is balanced, thanks for another great video, I like your dedication on creating those kind of historical overviews, keep it up!
How the hell did I get into a clash Royale rabbit hole
I don't even play live service mobile games
How the hell did I get into this rabbit hole again?
I don't even play Clash Royale but this style of video is very interesting and engaging. Keep it up.
I used the mirror in my self-made deck, and still use it nowadays. I remember that my deck was even stronger with the +2 level buff. Anyways
insane vids dude! good editing, you always bring up facts with evidence and pick out good themes for vids. GJ keep going!
Alright but this doesn't change the fact that I still love trying to get away with Battle Healer+Mirror
Lol
All you need now is to keep making more videos and content. Great channel with great quality
New update: IMMA END THIS MAN'S WHOLE CAREER
20:52 the mind games are crazy with this one truly tornemnt winning plays only
I have always used the mirror, and always will
One of my favourite cards on how versatile it is and how you can play in unexpected ways
Thank you for this vid
I already said it and everybody said it but i will say it once again...
Most underrated CR channel ever fr
I wait everyday until u upload i love ur vids so much keep up the grate work❤️
On your suggestion: they could also just make the mirror cost 0.5 elixr instead of 1. They already have half elixr in the game with elixr golem globs so why not with mirror?
Cause they are stupid
I’m just happy that they’ve finally started releasing cards again cause like we’ve gotten four new cards just this season and we’re supposed to be getting a new goblin champion as well so I mean I’m just happy that that’s the case
I gotta say it…. Mirror spirit
I have to say, I’ve NEVER had any interest in Clash Royale, however your videos are very entertaining and informative! Keep it up :)
IF HE DOESNT STOP USING THE WORD UNIQUE COMPARATIVELY IM GONNA CRY
Personally i don't care about clash royale as a game but your videos, the amount of research and the history you present makes it so entertaining
1 like = 1 prayer for mirror spirit
I think they should make a 2 cycle mirror evolution where it gets to mirror 2 lvls higher again and can mirror the last played non champion unit after playing a champion. Then add the function where if you mirror an evolution and the mirror is also evolved, then you get a 1 lvl higher mirrored evolution.
I think that the mirror should get a -1 elixir cost, still the +1 to card level, but on the card death it would give a elixir to the oponent, dont know if that would be broken or not but that my idea, perhaps also add some kind of purplish textur to the mirrored card to signifie it or just as you said, but make the next elixir you play regenerate twoce as fast, (still need the + cost though to play it, you just get the elixir back faster)
Idea for a Mirror Rework or even a new Mirror-like card: The card will mirror the last card your opponent played for the same cost and level.
Your idea to fix the mirror would not require any overhaul like you said if they added half elixir cost cards. Essentially if they made mirror cost 0.5 more elixir and added the possibility for other cards to be 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 etc elixir too. This would also make it a lot easier for them to balance OP cards without going overboard. I think the idea you gave would be really good for the game as a whole and not just mirror.
An almost 40 minute video about a card on a game I haven’t played in over a year? Sign me tf up.
THE ENGINEER AT 00:08 IS ACTUALLY IN THE GAME WITH A DIFFERENT NAME LOL
hey gratz i been watching your vids for a few months and they are some of the best in the CR community. i absolutely love them. a cool possible future video idea would be going over the history of xbow (2.9) which is arguably one of if not the single most polarizing archetypes to ever exist.
0:05 lol facts
Shout out to this message being at the top huge w

I think the September 2022 nerf to send it back to +1 level was requested for the CRL World Finals, which literally would’ve been no fun with mirrored e-giants/giant skellies going around.
Also maybe they knew the risks for making it +2 but also considered they could safely change it back after a few months, since many players will have gone ahead and upgraded it! Profit achieved.
I didn't know it was this impactful, damn!
I seriously like the ad placement in your videos
If they never made the mirror at launch and made it today, a great way to make it unique and awesome would be making it a building that reflected spells. It would make logical sense, since the mirror would reflect the spell back to the opponents tower. It would finally give counterplay apart from monk to spell cycling, and it would get rid of the problem of the card being used with the most toxic and overpowered cards in the meta.
This videos quality is unprecedented great job
I love your channel mate, let’s pray the algorithm blesses you
Mirror evolution will bring back the second level every few cycles
wtf. I dont play cr anymore, but your videos are so insane that love to watch them!
You are 100% right about the preemptive mirror nerf before monk Phoenix meta
I don’t even play cr anymore but I still watch this guy’s videos.
Love the diddy kong racing music
rough day at work, needed this bad good job on these videos
“Because supercell loves to ensure only the most toxic cards are made viable’
Oj trolling with level 16 mirror were some of the best videos ever.
Another solid video bro!!! Love these! They deserve so so much more views !!
