Probably a little bit late here, but I mean, the 2 green fatties were almost meaningless whereas the Rangers seemed to fixed the mana issues you wouldn’t have had in the first place, hadn’t you played green (inconsistency cost you the first match, if I am not mistaken, but did the green splash win you the other games? Would you have lost had those cards been, let’s say, Gargoyle, Scroll Thief, Wall of Frost #2 and Cancel?

Ok i’ll be a little more clear. Mana leak on the Day of Judgment to prevent him from casting extra action……

He had 5 mana left open after the Day. If he cast anything above a 2 drop you get to trade leak for a threat. You instead traded leak for 0 net gain. It was worse than casting an excommunicate in a non-race situation. It was a terrible terrible play. You almost had a chance to make mana leak relevant in the late game.

That play just made me puke a little bit in my mouth. I think you were on a slight tilt when you saw him deal with all our bombs.

Should not have played the green as it was a small power bump and hugh consistancy downgrade. Should have played the walls main as you had so many excellent fliers.

Lastly, Rewatch your round 3. You played sooooo terribly (yet won) in game two that I wanted to scream.

Overall you did well, but that was an excellent pool. Serra Angel is a flat bomb for sealed. In draft she is a step below bomb, but in sealed, excellent.

I definitely understand your point about putting in the green. Sure, it is going to make your deck less consistent, and it is going to make you have more variance with the pool. But your deck probably wouldn’t have been a 4-0 deck anyways, so the variance gives you a chance of getting lucky and pulling out 4 wins. Sure, Primeval Titan isn’t as much of a bomb as Death Titan, but a 6/6 trampler for 6 is pretty good, especially when he is giving you so much card advantage. Pretty much every time you cast the titan, the land thinning was relevant.

I also agree with your point about having things to get through in the end game. Every deck you went up against had bombs of their own, and you just can’t get there without playing enough good late game cards.

Starwarer makes a good point. During the video I was also surprised you didn’t take the opportunity to look at his entire deck. Knowledge is power and all that.

I prefer the build without green. Armored ascension is way bombier than Titan

One note on R4G1: When your opponent let the Jace ultimate resolve, you should have looked at his graveyard, to see what else he had. I saw at least 2 more Doom Blades in his last 4 cards. It would also show exactly how much mana fixing he had.
