In game 3, I think the icons on the sides of the screen at the middle of the video and towards the end regarding the chat mean that you can dock the chat window on any of the 4 sides of the screen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t know what problems the people complaining here have, because yeah, from a professional point it IS painful to watch, but that is exactly what these drafts are. They are funny because of the bad decisions and the &quot;going for the LOLs&quot;. And I prefer explaining and jokes over having much time on the clock in the end with no commentary on the game. Because the game itself is not the important thing. The comments and annotations are, and they are hilarious (for me at least).

@PMJ: That is a very good idea, I like it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Enjoyed the draft, but that clock play and those missed unsummons on the fog bank hurt something fierce.

Still, laughed a fair bit - so thanks!

Idea time: what about a high-low draft? You can pick either the card with the highest converted mana cost, or the card with the lowest. this also applies to ties. Example, if you get duty bound dead, arbor elf, and Door, you can pick any of those 3 cards. You could also give yourself 3 lifelines where you actually get to pick a good card just so that the deck is playable. You&#039;d have a big early game, and a big lategame :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think you guys could&#039;ve sided better, especially for the first round. He is playing mostly 1 and 2 power exalted guys that come down early, so cutting all of those demanding green cards and throwing in a couple blue and white cards that were in the board (like pillarfield ox and harbor serpant, both good blockers for an exalted deck) and then dropping in all your black cards would be worth it. Mutliate destroys that deck, and crippling blight takes out an aven no problem. 

Often you were holding a few green cards that you could just never cast. The black cards were all mid to late game and had such a little demand on your mana.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watched this earlier and now, having thought about it, seems like a good way to get a feel for the set as a whole.   Picking the best card in a vacuum gives you a card pool equivalent to a 3-pack sealed with mostly good cards.  The only downside is that you must make it a 40 card deck as opposed to the 3 pack sealed 30-card decks, meaning you will more often than not have to use 3 colors.   I may try this the next draft I do.   It has a chance of going great or terrible, but seems like a fun way to do it.]]></description>
