Training for Multi categories

Heard a lot of complaints about people witnessing rookie mistakes at their tables when it came to multi categories and I myself would love to see a video describing what to do in multi and what interactions you should consider and such. I feel it will be a great resource for kids and for others learning the game.

Sounds like you just volunteered. ;)

I would happy to be apart of it but I'm still relatively new player and I'm still learning a lot about the game and I have the least amount of experience when it comes to multi.

Soul distribution and generation are maybe the more "amateur" kinds of plays I've seen next to blocking someone who is behind

Ie I heard about a game where someone blocked someone who was behind then captured their hero to generate a lost soul for the person in the lead to rescue

The use of Doms is important too. Knowing to curb the leader, what souls to go after, and who to block. Stuff like that.

If I had a physical playgroup and cash to burn I would do a regular booster draft with a recurring cast of characters and commentary. I even think a lot of experienced players have wrong-headed ideas of what is and isn't a good move in Booster (if I had a dime for every time I heard someone saying it was a good idea to block the guy behind just because they were pretty sure they had a free block I'd have a rage-filled private island!).
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Pretty sure this cost me a game win at nationals last year.

Well, serves you right for agreeing to play T2 multi and not getting that 1st turn GoYS...  :angel:

I've actually thought of doing an article about booster etiquette for awhile, but I think the best thing for it would be a video like Gabe's booster video where he shows what he drafted, only this time it shows a full booster draft game with experienced players. Much harder to do, but much better than just saying "pick these cards", or "first soul's free" (though the first soul should usually be free). ;)

The main problem would of course be that the target audience (RLKs and people who don't know how to multi) would likely never watch the video or read whatever article on Land o' Redemption because most of them don't spend time on the boards. At least, this is my perception.

Welll, some may not, but I have benefited immensely from the articles and videos.  In fact, I am going to use the game videos and tutorials for some of the kids this fall.

Hey Justin,
  I could do the mini-series with you though I would call it "reasons why I hate multi-player."
Or bring back Kirk's (I think it was him) old tag "friends don't let friends play T1 multi."

Maybe there should be a scheduled multiplayer lackey game that and be recorded and commented on if lackey can support that? Seeing a multi game unfold with experienced players would probably be good for demonstrating good and bad play and multi strategies.
