Oh good. Now mutas are even more cost efficient.

This is way too fucking scary as a P or T player. Huge mutaballs are already ridiculously hard to deal with, and this is just icing on the cake. Bleh.

This is awesome, but most top Terrans know you can't go PURE mech in TvZ. Even MVP doesn't do it. You have to sprinkle in marines because magic boxing is so effective, especially once muta numbers get high. If you have even just 20 or so marines in that composition, mass muta against mech becomes incredibly cost inefficient.

Put hey, if your opponents are going pure mech, use this and free win =)

Sounds good. How easy is it to click on the Thors with a pack of mutas over them? I feel like I'd mess it up a lot. Also, are you right-clicking the Thors or a-clicking them? I assume right clicking, but I want to be clear.

I right click the Thors that I want to focus fire.

As for all the positive responses, thanks for the thanks! I'm glad that this is something that I was able to help a bunch of fellow Zergs with. ^^

can you please post a replay comparing magicboxing with and without focus firing? I have found no difference when attempting to do it, if anything i tend to lose more mutas with focus firing.
