The Eyeball Draft — alternately picking cards with the most and fewest visible eyeballs. Defining ‘visible’ leaves room for interpretation.

Contaminated Ground could find a place in the no attack/extort deck.

I think you (and everyone else) misses something on the cackling perimeters : they need you to tap a gate to do 1 damage. SO : there is NO point in having more then one, cause they all need to be activated by tapping them first and then a gate, so eacht gate can only be used once each turn no matter how many perimeters you own.
Or do I read the card wrong ?

How is 2 black sources enough? You could easily play 2 swamps and the gate, without ruining your mana base.

This was only the second LRR I stopped watching after the first video. I am not angry or anything, and I will now calmly explain why I stopped watching.

You have to ask yourselves, what is your purpose? What was different about this compared to the million other straight-up “drafting good decks” drafts out there? Nothing, and this is sad, because I have seen your funny hats videos.

I believe that the purpose of this series is more to be funny than trying to draft good decks, which would make this draft a failure. I’m sorry but if I want to watch competent play, I will watch Simon or LSV. You guys are supposed to be wacky, so please at least try. I want you to try to draft off-beat, strange decks. That is why I personally watch you guys. The moment you simply start drafting regular decks I will stop watching.

You also chose to go with Boros, which is the most boring guild by leaps and bounds. I still love you guys, but this was a total failure as a part of the LRR comedy draft series.

You guys should do a draft where you can never pick the same colours twice in a row, so if you take a red/white card first pick, you can’t take another red or white card the second pick

Or one where the first pick (or the rare) of every first pick declares the colours youn can pick from that pack So if you pick aurelia first pack you have to only pick red and white cards that entire pack, but if theres a rubblehulk in the second pack you can only take red and green cards for that entire pack

Impatient draft:

You MUST play a card or attack every turn, regardless of how bad a play it seems to be. You’ll probably have to get a bunch of cheap spells to guarantee you can do SOMETHING every turn.
