There is no way in hell you can consider nylea’s disciple over read the bones after your first two picks an passing the uncommon heroic dude.
Nyleas disicple is underwhelming and easily gets outclassed at 4 mana

In match 3 game 3 when you were playing around Stymied hopes (which I feel is good, would have been embarrassing to walk into it with keep sake or staunch hearted) both turns 4 and 5 you only attacked with the scorpion and played your spells 2nd main, although you get 2 free damage by just playing both 1st main phase leaving satyr up for stymied hopes. Then if he has it you can pay, if not the spell resolves and you can attack with both. Small mistake, but you did it in consecutive turns without even stopping to say “I’m not playing these first main because….” Of course it’s better in almost all cases to play 2nd main, but if you’re just going there automatically without consideration repeatedly it may be a leak in your game.

@Chris O.
That’s embarassing. Good thing I chose to be anonymous.

So many playmistakes. I listen to the podcast and I generally like your videos, but all that drafting theory and sensible card evaluation sort of fades slightly, when I then watch you make 10 terrible combat decisions within the span of one game. Also, for a guy who talks a lot about value, I was surprised to see you play the emissary over the courser just to use up your mana. Your case was that when you hit 6 mana, you’ll just cast Sip – like that’s gonna end the game on the spot

I feel sorry for that guy in the round 1. Losing to the timer always feels so bad. Every time it happens to me I say to myself that it was for the last time. But sometimes you just cannot avoid it. I guess one could always play faster but some situations objectively require more thinking from one player than from the other. Other times you might lag a bit.. I really wish wizards will change something soon. Maybe add 5 mins when you get to game three? Or tranfer unused sideboarding time to the game time?

To note: opponent punted M2G2 as badly as Marshall punted game 1. He Titan’s Strengthed a Hoplite to kill a Keepsake, where all he needed to do was point it at the Labyrinth Champion and it was lethal with the deal 2 heroic trigger, at the end of the 28th minute. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it.

@Last Anonymous commenter, read Whip of Erebos. There is no end stepping it, as it says it only works at sorcery speed.
