@@litkakashi I know. My point is... speed IS the ability to apply pressure. Speed is quickly implementing your game plan, aggro or control. Its why saying, "you're on a 20 turn clock" is a joke. The ability to quickly finish games with a clock, requires speed. Ultimately, the player that can be in the driver's seat FIRST is the one with tempo. That's why I think it's goofy to say Tempo is not about speed. That's basically all it's about
@@maurygoldblat8982 Pretty late to the party but here is my 2 cents: I think the importance of "speed" in this case is just that you need to take advantage of tempo quickly for it to mean anything so it often pairs well with aggressive and fast strategies that go under the opponent. For example an aggro deck trying to end the game quickly playing a tempo card like Unsummon to quickly finish the game. HOWEVER you don't need to be playing fast to make a tempo play or gain a tempo advantage. You could have a long grindy game close out with a tempo swing after many turns of board stall.
You should do a video like this on midrange, you explained tempo perfectly. I always thought it delt with timing lol midrange is another one I never fully understand exactly what it is
When you kill a Shivan Dragon with a Doom Blaide you are a legend bro
big facts
I would like more this kind of content with some examples of how games can turn out to be winning or losing based on tempo (in this case)
"Tempo is not about speed..."
Proceeds to talk about importance of clock... lol
Tempo is all about which player is applying pressure.
someone "putting a clock" on their opponent is a tcg term for applying pressure

Crazy smart video
anime profile pic = high iq
I don't intend for the game to go past turn 0 so tempo doesn't matter to me that much.
