This would be a huge help to me and my kids.

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.

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

Sounds like I've got an idea for my next Land of Redemption mini-series. 

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!).

That 1st turn burial though.

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

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.

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.

Sounds like I've got an idea for my next Land of Redemption mini-series.
