ESSENTIAL STRATEGY for MTG Beginners!!! Mike Flores', "Who's the Beatdown?" Breakdown

In this video I breakdown Mike Flores' brilliant article, "Who's the Beatdown?" It was written in 1999, and it remains one of the most influential pieces of MTG content ever produced. The article completely changed the way players viewed MTG strategy, so in this video I provide context and explain the examples contained in the article so a modern day audience can fully appreciate it! "Who's the Beatdown?" is a fantastic piece of writing, so I hope this video will help newer players appreciate it!
