This channel is a hodgepodge of projects that helped teach me filmmaking fundamentals, rebuild my conversational/presentation disciplines, or apply some basic editing to works that inspire me. I'm preparing to hone in on a vision soon, but right now it's all about whimsy. Hopefully you'll find something to inspire, entertain, or just pass a few superbly dull moments.

Singleton unite is wild 😂 what a win
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Am watching before work. The start of the video was rough on a lot of our friends….I had a similar experience that day so clearly we were all being stitched up he same time. Yes, Ebonheart oracle is a lovely card, especially in premium…I always think she looks very serene. One of the reasons I like TESL is the card art is rich and vivid, not insipid or cartoonish.
🐻🐻❄🧸🐻 the four bears always come through
😁
I like the ccity's deck there. Nice game.
I know AyRoss says he isn’t the best player but compared to me for lack of better word he feels like an absolute “legend”. Of the really good players he’s the one I run into most so there’s a bigger track record so I at least know personally from my win loss.
Oh Jankovic's Fat is a classic. Regarding fatness in music videos, I always presumed Rammstein was influenced by him for their Keine Lust.
😆 It is indeed a classic, and the video was pretty darned cool. --You got me curious about Keine Lust (hadn't heard it before) and I actually looked up the song to see what it was about. Apparently, fatness was just supposed to represent excess: "You know, after all of these years we're full-up! Fame, success, money. We don't want to do anything anymore! Nothing! That's the idea in the song. We've returned to the starting point again. We just want to make music again." --I mean, that's just what they said about it. But I'm with you. I think they saw "Fat" and were like, "That's it--that's the look!" XD
Wow, he's a lot like Trump! The hair, the voice, the ignorance and incompetence, everything! 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video, Schwaaard! However, I have to point out that Wilds Incarnate is based off of the Irish Elk. Give it a look. You'll see what I mean. I'll see you in the next video/stream! Pineapple belongs on Pizza!!
Ah, of course--you're referring to the megaloceros giganteus! Pssh. Who isn't familiar with that magnificent monster from a bygone era? ;) --I think this information only bolsters my point: it went extinct because its cumbersome head adornments made running awkward, if not impossible. 😁 I appreciate the enlightenment though--it's always cool to discover that there are direct real life inspirations for creatures/people in fantasy! Speaking of which, the "apple" often cited in the Bible as the fall of Adam and Eve is a mistranslation; the Hebrew actually says: "And lo, the serpent convinced Eve to put pineAPPLE on pizza, and God turned away from humanity, for he saw there was no good in man."
@@schwaaard I admit that you appear to have a different translation of the Bible than I do. But I fear that you may be teetering on the verge of blasphemy! But here is something not many people know… The manna with which God fed the Israelites with in the wilderness is-as you articulated in your argument-a mistranslation. Translated from the original Hebrew, it translates to pineapple pizza. The reason God forbade them to store it throughout the week, is because fresh pineapple pizza is always best, and secondly, it’s a sin to not finish the pizza you’re given. But, as I have just been relieved of my post at work, maybe I am too tired and have COMPLETELY MISREAD what manna was. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🍍🍕
@@honey-badg3r638 I am actually familiar with that particular version of the story! It’s from one of the books omitted from Canon because it didn’t align with other, more reliable works. The passage you cited is from Hesitations 4:20, I believe… 😜
@@schwaaard oh….that makes more sense now 🤣🤣🤣
Am rewatching as I fell asleep for some of it when you were live. That friendly with Vinchenzo had me crying with laughter.
It was a good time! I learned much about my adversary through our bouts... 😆
@@schwaaardthe second game in particular was so funny, especially your reaction to the harpies…though while you were deck building I kept saying to the screen why no alt art black dragon or golden saint? Both are classy ladies.
@@Denise-ki9ii Yes! To my everlasting shame, I left out Black Dragon and Golden Saint. It was a painful realization that they were overlooked. There was also the 5/1 warded Breton who never gets played but would also have definitely qualified--particularly when I didn't have to worry about curses. (Daggerfall just has some swell gals!) Fortunately beauty defeated the beast, even if there were some egregious omissions. :D
I can’t watch it…. Whyyyyyyyy
I'm not sure what's going on...I think there are two streams. One was broken somehow. The "actual" video has different stats. Not sure what this one is. But here's a link to the stream that works: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mH6Glc-ncq-pf5M.html
Thank you Shwardzy for the wishes. Glad to have you back. Rahxen
He’ll try to prove that you’re incompetent. I can prove that as well as he can 😂
One of my favorite lines. :)
Sweet i get to watch , i just woke up ❤
Aw c'mon--I release these at 5am EST to encourage early rising! ;)
Am watching during my lunch break and what a fine mix of games you captured for us. That Rahxen match at the end was so tense…he is a phenomenal late game player and a treat to watch. I giggled at the banter with bodybag. Actually I like seeing some of the chats while you are observing as they mostly reflect the friendships and that is one of the special things about TESL. I doubt many other online games have such a tight knit community…admittedly TESL is niche…if more people realised the friendships that have begun both inside and later translated to outside of game they would flock to play TESL!
It was an intense conflict to be sure. Rahxen did a fantastic job...but he was fighting near-perfect draw and the ring. A great game, but I felt his pain. --I'm glad to hear the chats are actually a boon instead of a detriment. In my mind, I hear non-existent voices clamoring for me to get on with the games, but I enjoy the conversations a lot. As you say, the friendships are part of what makes TESL special, and they are certainly what keeps me going when all hope of personal glory seems lost forever. ;) And there would certainly be a pique of interest if folks ever found out about the community activity swirling under this strangely breathing corpse of a game!
Your cup gradually losing ice on each reveal only to finally be shown empty of ice at around the 25 minute mark was satisfying for some reason
Ah-ha! I'm glad you noticed the secondary narrative I was weaving in parallel with the gameplay! The silent plight of frozen water, desperate to maintain its identity amidst the subtle erosion of time, and the gentle corrosion of carbonated soda. It's such a beautiful tragedy, there's no wonder why it was so satisfying! 😆
Beaterrus would have fit right in at sparky pants with his crazy broken shouts 😂 let me guess next video level 1 call of dragon is automatically gives you paarth 😂
😂 Hey, hey--no spoilers! ;) I like the creativity and exploring what havoc they would cause, but they definitely remind me of Drain Vitality pre-nerf. Perhaps juuuuust a bit too potent for proper parity. :D
Bodybag is always fun to watch plays cards you don’t typically see looking at “protecter of the mane”
Thats funny because that's how view you i alway like to pop in to see what crazy deck you're playing for new ideals 😂
If it helps any I’m screwing around with trying to make wisp mother do interesting things off ring of lordship or rimmen purveyor. Gardener of swords just clone a bazillion rings of lordship. Soulsrest marshal also would let you clone any card off wisp mother regardless of cost. The other thought is the familiars from conjurers spirit are 2 cost.
Indeed! I like Drain for Pain decks, which is really the only time you can see that Epic card being put to good use. Always a pleasant surprise. :)
@@michaelbayley9432 Good gravy, that sounds bizarre and wonderful! Would like to see that concoction in action one of these days.
That sounds fun, wisp is so cool. I like running red mt and strange brew with some 4 and 6 cost creatures with less than 5 power. Soul rest marshel, if your behind in hp you can still get value out of him.
Hello 😮
Greetings! :D
Is someone working on this game in the back ground??? Why did I get an update for this game???
Yeah, every so often I get a "downloading assets" status bar, and usually they're trying to sell me the dragon scale card back afterwards. Happens like once every month or so, I think. No clue what they are doing, 'cause I don't think there are any official updates, but it's getting refreshed...?
Oh ya that's possible, didn't think about that..thanks my good sir
On his worse day Biden is a thousand times better than Trump's "best" day. Typical right wing content thief expressing his cult worship of his dictator idol.
That Ametista match near the end was really exciting!
Ahah! I love pitched battle. Tbh I prefer to loose in this way rather than win with a boring match :)
Yep, the goat can be stubborn. I tried to make all animal deck, but it's too restricting. For example, if that guar elf that gets guard was on the top of the opponent's deck it would've whiffed. And you can bet that would happen to me for sure.
Ah yes! That's probably the culprit most often. I think the last animal deck I put together, I left that guar elf out. Not a horrible card, but not worth a goat whiff; card draw beats a +2 (or is it +1?) buff. Still, I'm sure the game would find some way to screw us out of our value. Such is our lot. The Goat is definitely not the GOAT. :)
If it was up to me I’d make so that goat only looks at creatures so it was at least not sending actions, equipment and supports to the bottom of the deck.
@@michaelbayley9432 It'd definitely make the little turd more playable!
The toxic deck warning was for my deck because I was playing ebonheart conscription 😂 but ya, my opponent was also on bs and I got the commander with Grey fox which when the match started I said would save fox for either new era or commander and I was lucky enough to have my opponent play commander on curve
Ah, the good ol' Gray Fox! What a chad! :D --And one of the few times someone might be happy seeing a Commander ocome down on curve. --Also, I don't think I remember Ebonheart conscription being a thing? Anytime there was Ebonheart control, it was always greed/slay....so it can't be all that toxic. ;)
@schwaaard I think any conscription deck that can control and boost magic is toxic like ebonheart, telvanni and empire that's just my opinion like Dano's guildsworn conscription is just a aggro deck that has conscription as it's top end and no meta mid blue cards so that's would be a non toxic conscription decks that's just as fun as the toxic versions
@@theangrybuffalosportsfan9971 Ah, I see. Toxicity isn't measured in frequency of appearance, but in nefarious constitution! I guess that makes sense. --How dare you run a toxic deck?! ;)
Just know I'm a hot head. If I ever kick anyone from spectating me, it's not personal, and I'm literally only kicking you from that session because I'm convinced everything is jinxing me 😂
Absolutely, my friend! I definitely don't take it personally. I probably wouldn't pop back in again that day just to give ya some space, but I know it wouldn't be because of me in particular. Honestly, when I first learned that spectating was a thing, I was surprised how open people were to being watched. Pleased, but surprised. So if someone doesn't want to be seen for whatever reason, I totally understand. :)
@schwaaard the funny thing is tesl is the only game that gets a negative reaction out of me, I play tesl with the same energy I have when I'm watching football, just an absolute psycho 🤣
@@theangrybuffalosportsfan9971 😆I get it. Some things just strike a nerve. Maybe part of the common ground is that you want a win in both, but don't really have a lot of control over the outcome. In football, pretty much zero impact, and in TESL...so much RNG that it almost feels like a spectator sport even when playing. --In any case, really makes me wish you streamed or recorded games. It would be terrifyingly spectacular!
I don't get the crab joke, could somebody please explain?
It doesn't have a direct correlation. In the movie, Benson trips and falls down the stairs. He blames his fall on crab, but not just a crab that happened to be scuttling past. No indeed. He is certain it was two crabs working in tandem--as crabs are known to do. It was more/less the inane babbling paired with absolute certainty that made it stand out. I don't know that there's much more to it than that.
What movie is this?
Hot Shots! and Hot Shots! Part Deux.
Wußte gar nicht dass Biden in dem Film mitspielte.
what i find hilarious is that trump and biden are apparently the best 'merikkka has to offer for the top leadership position . 'merikkkans really do have the IQ of a meringue .
💜
I want a 🎩like that!
Ha! I know, right? Kinda nifty. ...Only way I know to get one is to be a Grim Reaper though... ;)
I don't know about you guys, but trust me, I've been pestered by Thieves Guild Shadowfoot in these days. Today I had my opponent with full board of her 🤬🤬🤬🤬😰
A board full of Shadowfoots means your opponent has a hand full of your cards. ...Probably some of the better ones too, from my experience. Battling thieves is never a good time. :(
Really relaxing video.
The bee!
In the flesh, baby!
It was really interesting to see that Sai could not be impacted by an injured trebuchet - makes sense in theory but had never seen that situation come up before. Some really fun and exciting games!
Hi
Hullo, amigo!
7:00 Wrothgar Forge is my poop stone. Its RNG is insane, you can bet it'll give you a lethal weapon when needed, damage dealing one like the mage staff when needed, healing, etc. For example in that first game Edmourn hit every almost perfect weapon for the situation except for that fork on the mudcrab merchant. It's a support that pays itself off in several turns and there's not too many bad weapons you can get from it since it doesn't produce daggers. In arena it can be game breaking cause the chances for you to get support destruction are rather small. And even if you get a removal in the form of a giant or something like that, that card becomes a weight stuck to your hand and never gets played for the fear the opponent might be playing some kind of a support like the forge.
Ah, you speak as one who has felt the pain of that card many times! Your comparison to Poop Stone is apt, and I can see how it'd easily become a loathed support. I'd say the only way it's not as bad as Poop Stone is that it only gives the first card you play the weapon. Other than that, just as bad, if not worse. And it's true that the right weapon for the situation showed up; ya don't need a Dawnbreaker or Heirloom Greatsword when a Crossbow gets the job done. And the bummer is, as Edmourn seemed to indicate, it's not the best feeling when the support more/less summons the win. Getting value from it is one thing, but having it run roughshod over the opposition is often a hollow experience. I guess (fortunately) I haven't been hosed by it enough to have developed a loathing--due in no small part to its cost. At 4, Poop Stone shows up an awful lot, but thankfully a 7-cost support is much harder to work into the late game.
That Broda's game was excellent. Nail biting.
@@Baldricksturnip Heck yeah! A long, intense conflict with a happy ending. :)
Yeah it’s not something I’d normally run but vs arena you take what you can get. Also Sai is literal any wounded damage source does nothing it even blocks lethal the exception is certain creatures get destroy affects as it’s not damage. Broda’s game was way more impressive. Vs arena your at the mercy of what the game provides.
@@michaelbayley9432 In arena it's almost a must. Do not worry, I'd be insane not to pick it when offered there.
Holy fawk Dismay is broken 😂
*Chuckle* A bit. Just a bit. ;) Any thoughts on balancing? Higher cost? Nerfed FX?
@@schwaaard 4 cost and just your turn instead of that 2 turn bs
Am watching on my day’s leave from work. I too have had the experience of a deck being on fire one season then the next season can’t win with it.
Ah, Denise! I can always count on you to have an identical tribulation in TESL! :) It may just be the two of us, but darn it, at least it's not just me! :D
The only radical thing I could imagine Schwaaard doing is not helping old ladies get across the street.
Ah but Baldrick Schwaaard is a kind person so probably would help little old ladies across the street. Actually for some fun trivia, when I was a kid I invented a game called Bag Wars. The premise was the game started with one kid playing a little old lady and another kid trying to help her across the street…but the little old lady didn’t want to go so hits then with her handbag. This was a cue for Bag wars to start and all the kids would hit each other with their bags….sounds violent but no one was allowed to use a heavy bag…it was more of a comedy game. Except that all the parents didn’t find it funny as some kids bags gota bit battered…but all us kids loved it 😂
@@Denise-ki9ii XD
Well...to be fair...it was more nuanced than that! The ladies were carrying groceries! That makes the process so much harder. --And they were big bags too!....Big bags...
@@Denise-ki9ii Ha! That quirky kinda thing is very on-brand for you! Where did the inspiration come from? Was it figuring out a fun way to enable the bag bashing? Or did you see an old lady and think, "What if she didn't want to cross just yet?"...or something else altogether? Was there a winner of this game, or was it just, "pummel 'till you drop" kind of a thing?
@@schwaaardhahahahaha I think Bag Wars was inspired by a comedy sketch, probably in a cartoon, where a little old lady didn’t want to be helped over the road. I wish I could remember exactly. Bag wars was very popular and there was running involved as well as people chased each other to get a good hit in with their bags. It was pretty funny. The name was a tribute to Star Wars so the bags were kinda filling the gap of light sabres, without the good and evil battle though….hahahahaha
Ah yes, how did I know. I'm not sure. I just remember you using that deck before. There's been a few instances of us showing off our Internet telepathy over this last year. Unexplained synergy between our chats at weird times, caught on camera. Weird! I just had a feeling that bringing up a rant would be relevant and it turns out you were in the middle of talking about being happy and not ranting. I don't have any explanation for this, I have always had keen intuition... unless I'm wrong and screw the pooch or talk myself into a bad idea :P gg, cool vid
Yeah man, that was CRAZY intuition, both for the comment and the deck recognition! Almost gave me the shivers! But also demonstrates why you're so darn good at TESL and most likely other games like this. To me, decks are a bunch of cards, and most times I'd be hard-put to see the strategy or synergy in something someone else was running. --Not that this deck had either of those, but the fact that you can recognize it after just a few plays reveals a very keen mind. You mask it really well with the casual, "Heart of the cards!" but there's a big brain and insight operating behind the scenes! And yeah, your comment was perfectly placed. I'm glad we were able to catch that on a video for posterity. The irony was *chef's kiss* magnificent! Although, to be fair, I think anyone would be pushed to the verge of ranting playing against Giant Bat Shout Scout! ;) And hey--keep using that intuition. The times you may be wrong or get a signal crossed will be far outweighed by the impact you'll have when you're on-target. ...That said, screwing the pooch is always a bad idea. XD
@@schwaaard Appear weak when you are strong and appear strong when you are weak. I won that tournament last year and I've got the second champions bracket coming up this weekend. I'm certain there can't be even one player who thinks I'm good at this game given the complete crap I brought last year :P I have TESL "split personalities" LOL play me on ladder, you might be like "ok this guy is greedy af and bad" but then these same players queue into me in the event and it's like a whole different person is their opponent HAHA So I will continue with my heart of the cards I get lucky drivel for now, let my opponents think that I am weak :)
@@Mydogatemycomment Nice! Good luck in the tournament, amigo! Not like ya need it. The only one who has ever totally dominated you in a tournament was yours truly, and I gracious stepped aside this time around. ;p You're gonna have a hard time convincing anyone you're weak, but it's worth a try. Only a fool would underestimate The Toker! :D
dude you complain a lot and lack so much patience...i mean i enjoy watching the game but i have to mute at times because of your negativity.
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the feedback! Alas, that's kind of a defining factor in my experience with this game. The frustration and angst resonates with some folks, but I absolutely understand why it would be irksome to others. I recommend you check out Dareloth if you want high-level TESL play without the negativity. He's got some really great content here on YT. Vinchenzo2k1n and Becoming Brave Cariad also have channels, and though they can get mildly salty at times, it's nothing compared to the negativity you'll experience with a good chunk of my videos. Some days/videos are better than others, but this game is often a test of my perseverance; it was a 'win' for me just to keep playing. While it is a triumph for me in that way...I know it ain't pretty. ;)
My favorite deck is steal deck. Giving opponent taste of his own medicine... especially when i go against midnight burial or ayleids.
Right song on the Best Place
❤ Ko Moon Yeung, Moon Gang Tae ❤ Forever! ❤
Indeed! They made a great OTP! ☺
People always talk about South Park predicting the future, but everyone forgets that the Hot Shots movies predicted real life 40 years before it happened.
Why no siege of Stros M‘kai (the 10 cost card)
Ah! All the singleton-specific cards like Siege, Morokai (sp?) and Set's Masterwork were not allowed. :(
Always horrible when you have a session where the game repeatedly stitches you up. Some days are just like that. The Bend will action could be limited to creatures hit power a bit like Mechinars will.
Very pretty song and touching video.
