I have a very small youtube channel in which I am playing tournament decks from 1994-2002 using ManaLink 3.0. I asked in slightlymagic if I can use Manalink 3.0 and record videos and they said yes but I would like to know if I can attach thumbnails to my videos with mtg card art without copyright violation. I did so by downloading the pictures from google images but after thinking about that and not being sure this was legal I removed all of them and instead I reworked my thumbnails with screenshots taken from the game deck editor. The thumbnails contain images of actual cards but they are part of the game itself, all images are in the deck editor. To give you an idea what I am talking about, this is my channel:
Edited: Sorry, I can't put the link, is not displayed so please search in youtube for "MTG Old School 1994-2002", sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you in advance for any answer regarding my question, oh! I just forgot to mention... my channel is not by any way monetized, I am playing Manalink 3.0 and showing these tournament decks just for fun, I don't want to make any money of this.
I am still playing Magic Duels which contains cards from Origins to Amonkhet. The thing is while I am good building decks, even in this restrictive format, I am not able to win a mirror control game (I am not a good player, anyway).
So, any recommendations will be appreciated. You are not probably familiar with Duels (and became obsolete as well) but I can tell you that my control decks are:
1) 2 Color: Izzet (UR), Azorius (UW), Dimir (UB) Control
2) 3 color: Esper (BWU), Grixis (GBU), Jeskai (WUR) Control
In Duels, most of the red spells are instants and sorceries to kill creatures such as Harnessed Lightning, Fiery Impulse. I don't know if Izzet is a good idea in a control mirror game. I always think: what if my opponent has more counterspells than me? and I start feeling nervous when the opponent draws. Is a good idea to spend counterspells on draw cards? What can I do when a Planeswalker comes? I have lots of questions, but summarizing, I am unable to win control mirror games.
