ERRATA: Another STD Pauper Video Review of DTK Exists!

I reported yesterday during my round-up of other DTK set reviews for Standard Pauper that MagicGatheringStrat are the producers of the "only" video review of the set.

That is incorrect!  This cannot stand!

DrChrisBakerDC over at The Draft Brewery has also produced another Standard Pauper themed assessment of every single card in YouTube video form.  He brought the error in my reporting to my attention in the comments section of the blog post, providing a link to his excellent video review. You can watch the entire video right here, right now.

His narration has some great laugh-out-loud moments and his card evaluation skills are excellent,  It is a must-watch for all Standard Pauper players.  In fact, how about you just watch out below!  I'll save you some browser navigation time to help atone for my mix-up:

Please note that Dr. Chris doesn't start off with the new set: don't be fooled by his focus on the previously-evaluated Fate Reforged cards.  The good doctor checks his last top ten predictions for that set based on how the Standard Pauper metagame has actually played out since.  Just keep viewing - he'll get to Dragons of Tarkir soon enough after he's done reviewing...his own reviews!  Now that's impressive intellectual integrity!

Honestly, having watched it after posting my own Critiques, it makes me wonder just how much I got horribly wrong in my own evaluations.  I suppose we all make mistakes when it comes to judging new cards upon their initial release, but we can quickly fix our deckbuilding and spellcasting strategies to compensate.

But a blatant error in reporting and compiling information?  That, dear reader, is a different animal entirely!  The only humane thing to do is acknowledge it cannot be saved, put it to sleep and out of its misery, and properly dispose of the remains.  It's like a cat that's grown so old and sickly it's practically a zombie.  To not correct and update one's informative posts online is as filthy and mangy as a...

Am I correctly exploiting this scary simile?

In any case: Apologies for this oversight go out to my readers and Dr. Chris himself.  I honestly cannot believe I missed this and I'm very glad he brought this great piece of Standard Pauper media to my attention.  I hereby correct myself like any good objective e-journalist should.  The offending text has been struck out to indicate where the mistake took place and a link to this message has been added to the text of the offending post.

I will also opine - once and only once since this is my first official correction here - that it's only we red-blooded Leftists and our pinko-brained progressive-leaning  pals who ever seem to submit such errata and make such displays of intellectual honesty.  A word on how one's politics and philosophy affects their informative and editorial output on the Internet:

Part of being right all the time like a true radical commie bastard like myself (or right at least some of the time like any progressive) is...being able to admit that you get things wrong sometimes!

Our consistently incorrect counterparts?  Your conservative-leaning liberal wimps and outright Right-winged reactionary wankers of the word?  Those fools never, ever seem to do this sort of thing. They just plain do not possess the intellectual integrity required for such behavior thanks to their idiotic ideology.  They are incapable of this.

If they did have the ability, acuity, humility, and/or sagacity to make editorial corrections to mistakes in their odious output...well, then they wouldn't lean to the right and be wrong all the time in the first place now, would they ;-)  They would cease to bear any resemblance to the Magic card that perfectly describes them...

Libertarian Anarcho-Capitalist Self Portrait, conservative oil on canvass, 2015, collaboration by Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Alex Jones, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ron and Rand Paul and the artist who actually performed all the work and didn't share in any of the profits.  So there.

Thanks for reading this piece from Cabel the Red's Bureau of Correctional and Re-Education Facilities. We now return to our regularly scheduled blog-jamming.  Thanks for reading and good luck & have fun with those new Dragons of Tarkir cards for all people who play Pauper on paper.  Peace,
