First of all, love your content, keep up the good work!

As far as this draft, I was a little shocked that you didn’t keep in Sulphuric Vortex against your round two opponent. You knew that he had the angel and you saw the Nighthawk G2. Even though you were a little less aggressive and more controlling, doesn’t that merit adding the Vortex for game 3?

She. Can’t be that much a favorite card of yours, since you somehow missed the gigantic boobs.

Monored has definitely gotten weaker in the powered cube. The advantage of monored in the old cube was that they could pump out a bunch of damage before the slower decks had time to respond. With Mox, Lotus, Mana Vault, Mana Crypt, Ancient Tomb, etc., slower decks have tons of options to pump out stuff that monored just cannot beat, before monored can put them far enough behind to seal up the game.

Also, switching to monored as late as halfway through Pack 2 definitely weakened the deck. Between that and the bad matchup, this deck was facing an uphill battle against the round 2 opponent.
