The pick bothering me the most is the second quiver over the first black cat. In slow durdly decks the cat is very valuable especially with cards like ghoulraiser and to a lesser exctend the lich (almost everything is good with the lich) the second quiver is however yet another slow card and drawning two quivers is almost like a mulligan. So i think you should have considered what your deck were more likely to need; another slow card or an early blocker. I would def go with the blocker!

“Slower pick choices would have been nice”

I honestly didn’t care about the chewing that much. Slower pick choices would have been nice, but you did end up with some good cards (Lich, Nobles, etc.) and you had a lot of really bad draws. Enjoyed it nonetheless.

I guess I want to hear less “uhh I guess I take x” and more “Doing it!”

Man, it looked like you really rushed through that one. With the unburial rites, lich and lab maniac I think you could have drafted something pretty sweet it you had stopped a bit and thought about your picks more.

I know you really like the agressive decks but you don’t allways have to be super agressive. Self-mill combo is still viable and even though you kind of picked cards at random through the last pack you still ended up with a lot of cool pieces.

@DeadeyeDave:
If you count the Rakish Heir as a lord, that’s three. And he could’ve had even more in his deck.

@Marshall
I’ve watched a lot of your videos, and this one seemed really odd for you. You immediately decided on UB control from a P1P1. While Lich can dominate, it felt like you didn’t put any deeper thoughts into any other picks, and just forced UB. Also, you picked more 5-6 cost spells in the first 5 picks than you normally ever have in your deck.

Maybe I’m wrong and this was the right path, but it just felt like it was out of character for your normal draft style.

I think the biggest downfall of this draft was picking cards way too quickly and not giving enough thought to every aspect of the draft, from signalling to curve considerations to synergies and everything else. You just autopilot-clicked on most of your picks and never stepped back and reflected on what you had until the very end. Drafting slower = drafting with more thought.
