Now with a name - Late Nite Magic (LNM) - Aaron and I present our 3rd video from the tollie.org LIVE video channel. Also, in this video we’re joined by our good friend Mallory.

This video features two of Tollie’s decks. I play with a newly reconstructed 5 color deck (heavy on the green) and Aaron plays with my mono red aggro/combo deck - both Standard. It got intense as both of us knew the other person could be only one card draw away from dealing out over 20 damage in one turn.

Also, I’m posting up video 4, but apologizing for it at the same time, as I accidentally recorded all but the last 2 minutes without audio. This game is my mono-white Kithkin deck vs. Aaron’s mono black creature removal deck. Although there’s no audio, the ending is definitely a surprise to us both.

Well, I’m still working on getting an actual feed up. In the meantime, here is our second video and second game of Aaron and I playing Magic the Gathering - a collectible card game. In this video we utilized a much better setup, using two cameras to provide an overhead view of the cards and a view of the commentary.

Our next live game is scheduled for Wednesday night / Thursday morning at 12:01am. Watch live at tollie.org and click through to join the chat on Ustream. Find deck lists at tollie.org/files.

Here’s game two:
Aaron’s mono black vs. Tollie’s new mono red (v4). Type 2/Standard.

Stay tuned for when I post game 3, which really was exciting. In game 3, I play with a newly reconstructed 5 color Type 2 deck against Aaron using my mono red deck. The game goes right down to the wire with a big finish at the end.

Me and my friend Aaron decided to stream/podcast some of our Magic the Gathering games. We did it mainly for ourselves (just to see down the road) but we got really good feedback, including some suggestions to also do a tutorial podcast. And we just might! So here’s our first video. Also, after recording this we decided our video setup needed a little more than just my Macbook’s built in iSight, so we brought out another camera and used CamTwist to do a picture in picture - one with a better arial view of the cards, and another with the camera on us as we offer commentary.

Tune in Sunday night/Monday morning at 12:01AM as we play again live on Ustream. I’ll announce a podcast URL later. Live URL:
