Questions for Special Guest Host Kenji Egashira!
Added 2017-11-23 01:34:09 +0000 UTCHey All,
Luis is under the weather this week, so on Friday we'll be welcoming Kenji "Numotthenummy" Egashira on the show as a guest host! We'll be picking Kenji's brain about Iconic Masters (which has been SUPER fun so far btw), and also just having a conversation with him about Magic, life, etc.
So, what questions do you have for Kenji? The questions can be about anything: being a streamer for Magic, Magic strategy, all of it!
Fire away in the comments and we'll be picking questions for Kenji on Friday :)
- Marshall

For Kenji: Do you have aspirations towards winning a GP/PT-caliber event, and do the responsibilities of streaming conflict with that?

2017-11-23 19:41:46 +0000 UTCHey, Kenji, two quick questions: 1- When you see a new set, what are the hints you look for first in order to have a good initial grasp of its limited environment? 2- When are you giving Brian Wong the rap battle rematch?

2017-11-23 10:44:22 +0000 UTCKenji! Marshall and Louis' discussion about bluffing a few shows back got me thinking about the other side of it. How do you determine if someone is bluffing, or perhaps more importantly, when do you decide that given the current game state, it doesn't matter if they're bluffing or not; ie when do you just "make them have it".

2017-11-23 08:32:18 +0000 UTCHello Marshall and welcome back to Kenji. I've gone back to his previous episodes and I've always been delighted to hear you two talk limited. What do you guys think about chaos draft? My LGS is doing one for christmas with all the sets from Khans through to Ixalan. Any big picture ideas on draft strategy?

2017-11-23 07:40:05 +0000 UTCHey Kenji, thanks for coming on the show! Would be really curious to get your thoughts on being a full time streamer and what it feels like to play 100+ leagues of a given limited format. What’s your favorite part of a format when streaming, and what do you do when a format gets tired but still want to play limited? Thanks! Harrison

2017-11-23 05:26:55 +0000 UTCFor both Marshall and Kenji, On the week with multiple GPs happening around the world, how do you pick which one you'd attend? If it's totally just for work, do you get to pick where you wanna go? I'm planning to fly to either Japan or HK for GP next year so I'm wondering on the chances of meeting you up there!

2017-11-23 04:16:35 +0000 UTCHey Marshall + Numot- BetterMagic here. Just got 30 inches away from the fridge yesterday! Here's a short 2-parter: Has your sociology education helped you more efficiently build the community around the NumotGaming Brand? Do you put research and theory into practice when you think about your business? And what's the best two color archetype in Iconic Masters? I'm high on BW build-arounds. Thanks for all the awesome content you guys put out so regularly!

2017-11-23 02:59:51 +0000 UTCMarshall and Kenji, what are the things that you're hoping will be included in Rivals of Ixalan to improve the draft format?

2017-11-23 02:28:18 +0000 UTCHow did you feel when Marshall kept asking how it felt to lose the championship? 😉

2017-11-23 02:27:48 +0000 UTCI have a strategy question I've been meaning to ask. It turns out that I'm awesome at Magic when I curve out 2, 3, 4 drops and my opponent is stuck on 2 lands. But I'm not as great when I'm at a disadvantage. So how do you play from behind? How do you even recognize that you are behind, and what can you do about it once you are?

2017-11-23 02:21:34 +0000 UTCIxalan seems to be one of the less fun sets to draft in some time, but as a primarily limited steamer you were sort of expected to play many drafts of it. How do you keep yourself motivated and keep positive energy on stream when playing a set that isn't as enjoyable?

2017-11-23 02:12:37 +0000 UTCWhat kind of expectations did you have when you started Stream-A-Day for a year?

2017-11-23 02:08:43 +0000 UTCWhat do you think of the bogbrew witch combo ? I 3-0'd with her as a "side strategy" (4 newts 1 witch 1 cauldron) in an otherwise R/B dragons deck. I was super impressed by the witch but i would like your opinion ! Thanks !

2017-11-23 02:07:51 +0000 UTCThe devil challenges you to a draft for the highest stakes imaginable - your soul! Make it to the finals and beat him, and you will go free. The devil will select the other six drafters, but you get to pick the format. What do you choose, and what do you hope to open P1P1?
