ok, listen youre horrible, m1 g1 you made abillion mistakes!!!!! There are so many cards that could have lost you that game. Bluff mana leak slash cancel at the end!!!! lava axe, or another fireball could kill you. and Im sure theres at least one more. On the turn you droped brittle effigy you should have played quag sickenss, moved the cloak over to banshee, and then threw out the effigy, and who CARES if he blows it up!!! IT is a mistake to blow up the effigy over the cloak anyway. You could have baited him into a bad play here! And you over value it way to much. 5 mana for a 1 for 1 isnt that good( unless dealing with an obvious bomb ie titans, bsa),. Another card which you also forgot about is plumment which would kill your banshee too. HIm being green and all which is certainly maindeckable, and has won me many games.

EFFIGY is horrible against he deck too, because all his creatures are dinos, you kill one his just gona drop another.

The other guy that you do these videos with is wayyyyy better than you!

And you keep trying to force u and W after passing obvious signals!!!
You could should have jumped into greeen seeing that cultivate and ranger, it would allow you to splash your pasafiscm!!!!!!!!!! and those terramorphic expanses.

Good job picking up black tho.

4/4 fliers are when you start taking the finisher over stuff like pacifism. isn’t this drafting 101…

I think LSV has made it impossible to watch anyone else’s draft videos.

I still appreciate the time and effort, and I really like Marshal and Ryan, but I don’t agree with the early drafting decisions at all.

@Woody

Yes, I described one best case situation. That doesn’t mean everything else I mentioned is invalid. I’m just saying that IN GENERAL seer gives you alot of options and has decent synergy with common, uncommon, and rare black cards, as well as a few common red, white, and blue cards.

If you are having to chump a 2/2 on turn 3 you have issues of either not being a very good player or not having a very good deck or you kept a bad hand.

@Ryan

You’re definitely in best case scenario mentality here. You’re describing a situation where you need

A: Have a bomb in play
B: The bomb is removed in a way that leaves it on the battlefield.
C. You have Viscera Seer in play while this is happening.
D. You’re holding a Gravedigger.

Now check out this, more likely scenario.

You cast a 1/1 for 1. Your opponent untaps and casts a 2/2 for 2. You chump/scry. Seems bad.

I actually love Viscera Seer. Obviously it is great with reassembling skeleton or in the act of treason deck, but I will still include it when running black even without those cards… unless I just have 23 ridiculous playable of course.

Being able to stick a creature into your graveyard in m11 black decks can just be incredibly good. I was playing a draft on MTGO last night where I cast Inferno Titan, which was pacified the next turn. I let my Seer eat it, cast my gravedigger, got it back, and easily won the match. The fact that black has gravedigger, rise from the grave, and even disentomb to me is plenty of reason to run a Seer, or at least to side it in against white/blue decks that typically can remove your threats without actually sticking them in your graveyard (pacifism, ice cage, mind control).

Hello OmniSzron,

we will explore improvements on the video side you mentioned. That is, we are also exploring other options which would…but I should stop here as we don’t want to reveal that idea just yet.

@Plejades: the quality is great, but it would be super-awesome if it had the option to jump to a not-yet cached part of the video. It’s annoying when you are re-watching it and can’t just get to the part that interests you and have to wait for the whole thing to load. Having this option would also reduce your server load.
