Timer Tribulations | Aegis S3 VOD Reviews | W1; Set 3 | Legends of Runeterra

-- Update: This is Take 2 (actually the 6th time exporting it for me, but 2nd time uploading to UA-cam). Video cut off about 30 minutes before it was supposed to, which I've chalked up to Hard Drive space. I normally culled my videos from my hard drive a week after I uploaded them for this reason, but I've been keeping all the CDS stuff there as I had a plan for reusing some clips for a seperate video. However, deleting the excess ended up freeing space for this to export properly. I think I'm to invest in an external hard drive or something soon lmoa. --

Heyo 🐿️! As always, starred games = the most interesting one within the video :). There are some notes in the desc on a few things. I really recommend reading it after Game 1, as the more and more I think about it, one unmentioned misplay is the entire reason for everything that happens in Game 1 (big thanks to Card Gamer).

Minor note: Provided all goes according to plan (no timer issues), we do also lose to Shock Blast, so out of their 3 cards they have, they could be any of about 3-4 cards for us to still lose. Mana isn't fluid, we do need to spend stuff. However, my thing about 'cute 6 mana plays' to get Albus Ferros to 11 is unnecessary, Hextech Transmoglrwiahdeier already does that lmoa.
On a much larger note: I also think there's a super super reasonable argument that seeing 'oh they can't afford vengeance, time to slam heimer down' is not a valid or logical line, and you can take it slower (/especially/ against a Jayce on field while they have 5 unit mana). It's something I don't dive into at all, mostly because that level of thinking is outside my bubble for experience with this deck (let alone this mirror): I can't justify this early on in learning this deck to not do a play like that, but if you've experience like that let me know your thoughts on the Heimer on 5 play, because I do think it can very easily just be straight wrong.
Like, the more and more I think about this I realise the absurdity of playing Heimer into a 4/4 Challenger Unit when they're about to the attack token lmoa. (And this is totally not infused from what Card Gamer says about 16 and a half minutes into the most recent Squadcast about early macro plays being the true cause of failure putting you into 30/70 positions rather than micro plays afterwards being the cause of failure).
