“I don’t know what any of these cards do.”

That’s when I turned off the video.

Kudos for putting this free content up so that jackasses can tell you that you are wasting their time with it, not even realizing that they do not have to watch it.

M3G2 he had feeling of dread in his graveyard, you had memory’s journey in your graveyard, you had 4 attackers, he had 3 potential blockers and he had 1 life. You win right there if you memory’s journey on his feeling of dread.

He scoops anyway but you had the win on board and didn’t see it.

Liked the video – was quite educational.

Just leave the drafting to Marshal this was painfull to watch. It made me sad that you won after the bad picks and poor plays.

Carrotus- Thanks. I learned something, too; it was a good draft! I think I am going to force the self-mill a bit in 8-4s (until it train wrecks). Everyone seems to have forgotten their love for Mulch!

CoolMike- Since Magic Online allows us to view the cards we’ve drafted, I sort them as I would build a deck as the draft is going on. I’ll hide cards I don’t want to play to get an idea of where my deck has holes (but I like to reveal them to remember all I have). I prefer to sort by mana cost to see any holes in my curve.

Keeperofthez- I knew he would come in for the kill with his spirit token eventually. I wanted to use my Griptide to seal the deal.

Round 3 Game 2 – When he was at 4 why didn’t you griptide the spirit token and swing in with the Orchard Spirit twice for the win?

Thanks for the vid guys. Yes, you went a direction that I would absolutely not have gone. I like the self mill (a little) but it has to come to me so i would never force it. However, I’ve forced the Mill Them strategy several times to good results. I think RG has improved the most of all the archetypes. In 3xInn, it struggled for really solid 2cc drops but with the introduction of DKA, it’s just improved a great deal. That and the pump tricks are really amazing in DKA. So all that said, I like the Immerwolf in pack 1 but it’s likely that the 2/1 Giest is likely “better”. I love Griptide as well and think it’s terribly underrated right now. And one last thing, I was really excited to see that your grandmother was drafting with you…sadly this was just a clever ruse to get me to quickly click on the link!
