When you’re co-commentating with Graham, you usually have some constructive comments or try and make the deck have a good shot at winning. You knew going into this the deck was going to have difficult mana, yet you did not even try to optimize your land colors prior to starting. You would have been able to at least cast some spells more often if you had bothered to take a few of the minutes given to you by the client and really crunch out a good mana base in terms of basic lands.

You can do better. I’ve seen you do it.

James makes it too clear that he’s in it to win it rather than to give us what we came to watch: entertainingly-made decks with amusing commentary.

In a 5-color deck, a prism will do so much more work than any one guildgate.

For one, making up rules and ignoring the theme of a theme draft kind of defeats the purpose. For another, commenting the whole time about how horrible the deck is and how you have no chance is simply not fun to watch. We love seeing you go up against impossible odds and at least having fun and doing interesting things even if we all know you can’t win. And finally, I’m no MtG expert, but even I had several “What is he thinking?” moments during these videos.

Trading it off would remove another extorter, forcing him to chump the Wurm with his Gutter Skulk, bringing him down to one creature. Until he drew a way to kill the Wurm, he’d be on auto-chump from then on with any creatures he could get down.
