Hi Marshal
Great draft but i sure wish you would get off the beta train. The new client is absolute garbage i almost stopped watching after the crash in draft. I wish guys like you who have a voice that reaches out to the devs would stop sugar coating things and really tell it like it is. One thing i cant stand is that they have yet to give the client a “game” feel it still looks like a ugly work document that is in its roughest form. Look at what the devs from blizzard did on their first attempt at hearthstone the entire feel of their client is so polished and well put together. I mean i understand that it is blizzard and they have very deep pocket books but i don’t think WOTC is going through tough times. When i first started playing MTGO i was completely amazed at how crappy the client looked and played everything from trying to join casual matches to the spreadsheet-esque layout of the whole platform it really didn’t feel like a game to me. Then when i heard they where coming out with a new client i was super pumped thinking “alright they are actually going to make this feel more like a game”, i cant explain the disappointment that i felt the first time i loaded up the beta and seen that somehow they successfully managed to make a new client that looks and feels worse then the junk they already had.

Anyway love your content, keep up the good work

So as the name implies I’m a noob but first pack you were getting all kinds of white and I don’t know why you didn’t take any? Divine Verdict all day.

As someone who’s recently seen RW do some major damage lately (both for and against me), even winning on turn 4 against a decent draw, that keep in the last game made me wince something fierce! You’re usually much more analytical about your play, so I’ll chalk that up to Commentator’s Mental Fatigue.

Did you cut the Erebos emissary on accident during deck building? I’m thinking yes because you would have mentioned your reasoning behind that one.

Making a video of your games, you sort of have proof that you aren’t lucky (not that you really need it, but it can feel like it). I’ve never reported, but I think in fact people should.

Thanks for the content as always Marshall.

I agree with another poster that the keep in the last game was pretty bad. Did seeing the “all-powerful” Gray Merchant cloud your judgment? Not only was it slow and a 5-lander, but you didn’t even have two swamps which meant that you had to draw yet another land to play 6 of the cards in your deck including the one in your hand.

I also think that trading creatures off in M3G1 was a mistake when you had an enchantment and combat trick in hand. You need something left on which to play those.

Seems like almost every game you were praying for a Swamp to show up…
Maybe your land balance was a little off?
With so many double Black drops, starting as early as turn three, switching a couple of Forests into Swamps might have worked better.
All in all, great draft and great content!
Keep up the good work!!
