Who's the beatdown?
One mistake I see a lot of at local tournaments is the idea of who has control of the current board state. This is important to know because it will directly effect decisions and plays. This concept has been around since the beginning of magic and even though the article is old, its a very important read if you want to improve your game especially with those agro vs. agro games in limited.

I hope this helps some of you as much as it has helped me.

This is true but there will inevitably be games where the UB player never has to consider the concepts of Who's the Beatdown, they will enter knowing they are control and get mindless removalThere are so many factors to consider in the matchup between RDW and UB Control. How can you know how aggressive to play?This isn't true.If you aren't think about it at least once per round it's not enough.
after removal until the only thing left to do is play a finisher and win. Their mind will never go to this article. You use what you learn here for specific matches and situations, but not all.
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.

That's true, there are some decks that are, game 1, a giant pile of answers and 2 copies of 1 big beater, and I have no idea how to play that as beatdown (unless it's a R/X control deck where you start throwing burn at their face), especially in UB and UW (and especially esper)
thanks to nbw for the sig.
You do need to try to gay it up a little more.
You're like the least gay member of this clan.
And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.
