Do you prefer play-by-play videos like this that might end up being quite long, or do you prefer more succinct recap videos that are usually at or under an hour in length?
At 46:53 against Walls, you could’ve resolved the Alchemist, and then after the Soulbound triggers and the target is chosen - Snap the Soulbound’s target. This way, Alchemist would’ve just been a 1/4 body that does nothing. This is effectively a counter but also does not let them Reaping the graves the Alchemist from the graveyard, and you would also have mana for another counterspell this turn
Soulbond doesn't target, meaning that if I Snap one of the Battlements, they can simply pair with the other one. If they only had 1 or I was able to bounce both, this might be a good play.
I know Izzet Control used to run them a lot, but SpockVidaLoca (resident UR master) has cut them in recent months for more cantrips. I still have them in my paper deck though

Play-by-play preferred
The longer the better in my opinion lol more gameplay to watch
Play by play! I like the live excitement of a good top deck, of some key turn, etc.
Play by play, man
Noted!
Excellent commentary and pretty tight gameplay. Love this deck, so glad it's good in Pauper.
It's one of my faves

I play Augur I’m my Izzet control deck. IMO it balances out the deck

Why not bounce the archer and use spellstutter sprite when they recast?
Do you have a timestamp? I was probably just silly, but would love to give greater reason if I had one
Ah, I found it. Yeah, I'm not sure why I didn't do this. I think I just had tunnel vision and did not think about this simple solution.
