Congratulations on reaching 50! I really enjoy your work.
Your misplay m4g1 was targeting Wurmcoil with Fabricate instead of Platinum Angel! Until 11:20 into the video I wondered if you even knew the latter was in the deck. The Condescend scrying was bad too. You had a turn 2 plan to remove Eidolon which against burn is way too slow. Your outs are Wurmcoil and Plat. Play to them!
Remember to side in Aetherize more!
you made a few misplays in the final game, I think.
You could have repealed eidolon, then played talisman, then condescended eidolon on the way back down.
more minorly, near the end you should have cracked the map with the condescend on the stack. That way, if you do scry into anything you want you can tutor for a land and keep it. Plus it reduces dead cards in your deck by 1 during the scry.
