I always herd little bits about drafting and never really got to see it. After seen this video, it made me want to start drafting. Thank you for the great idea’s. Will be looking forward to see more

I agree with ADH on the Saberclaw Golem side in when your siding in the arc trail vs the mirror. It can replace the Acid Web Spider. Spider may be able to block flyers, but excluding plague stinger and tangle angler, no infect creature can stand up to a Saberclaw Golem with R up.

These are some of the most enjoyable draft videos I’ve seen.

One comment: when siding against the poison deck, why not consider the Saberclaw Golem, since you were going to be splashing red anyways? It seems really good in the mirror, if pretty slow. Not sure what I would take out, but I would have talked about it.

Love the dual commentary. I think you very played well overall, but when you were hesitating to attack with the Stinger, I think it was clear that he had Shatter (since you had actually seen this card). Still, it didn’t cost much to play around Dispense Justice.

Entertaining as always guys. However, this is an excellent example of why I am not a fan of this format. Your mediocre infect deck (and come on, it was totally mediocre) with just a bit of luck, can roll decks with much better cards and synergies. Infect is simply playing a different game. I love the flavor but infect is just plain ridiculous. If you fall a bit behind against it, it seems it’s twice as hard to come back because of the 10 poison counter thing.

Yesterday, I played in a Sealed Tournament (I won a sweet Snow Mercy!) and didn’t have to play infect all night and it was wonderful.

I agree with Gleonard42, the multi perspective is nice to see. I find myself enjoying videos like this more when the person running it has a random friend in the background.

Anyways, I honestly thought you guys were going to go 0-1 drop from how the first video seemed, really cool to see you guys turn it around. Happy new year.

Disagree. The fact that it’s the two of drafting and discussing together is what makes this somewhat unique. You learn more from disagreement and dialogue than from a single perspective more often than not.
