Hahahaha I recently used the fleeting distraction/ Bala Ged scorpion combo against a friend in a sealed. Thank you random mtg player.

I enjoyed the video and love your podcast. I draft weekly in person and am getting back into mtgo drafting. I find your advice and commentary useful and thought provoking.

Great vid, I’d love to see some M11 draft while it is still a relatively new format, then go back to ROE after M11 has lost it’s luster which shouldn’t take that long. Right now there is a ton of content around the net on ROE draft but still very little on M11.

Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated

We are pretty sure the next video will be M11 sealed, so look forward to that.

@OmniSzron Agreed about the Scorpion play, it was superior and we were basically in autopilot at that point I suspect. after having the game close to locked up. Those little things can really come back to bite you though..

You guys have just created a new addiction, and trust me, I had enough

Also, ROE drafts are great, but there has seriously been too much draft vids lately on the net (between you guys, Conley and LSV) and I haven’t seen anyone do a Sealed vid yet. It would be pretty cool if you made an M11 Sealed vid, since it’s going to be the format of the upcoming PTQ season.

Also, I guess it does put a bit more emphasis on deckbuilding and that’s what I like to see.

Great vid, you guys. The double Raid Bombardment made me laugh. It’s really remarkable to create a deck with a secondary color made up of cards from the third pack alone and then pilot it to a 6-0 result. Nice.

A little nitpick about the final seconds of the last game in the third match. Opponent has a tapped 5/5 Escort, a Daggerback and a Soul’s Attendant and you have Crusher, Invoker and Hatcher. You decide to attack with the Crusher (obligatory) and Hatcher, not to lose the Invoker to the Attendant and to keep invoking. Why not play a Scorpion pre-combat to kill her and attack with the whole team. Opponent blocks the Crusher for sure, but you get in for 6 AND improve your board with a 2/3 body AND have mana to spare.

The game was pretty much wrapped up at that point, but still, I think that that would be a slightly better play.
