You guys have fun draft ideas- but man the play is painful to watch at times. I know its like a “everyone on the internet thinks they are better at magic” kinda thing, but there were some plays in game 1 that were REALLY bad. Just durdling around choosing to not play around anything, always.

On top of that I can’t stand how enamored you guys are with losing. “if he does X and wins I’ll be so excitedly impressed!” ugh. Your viewers won’t. Play around X instead.

Heya,

is there a specific reason the drafting part itself is not shown?

You would have to mute several people and ip:s then

Any way to mute Kezz (in all his iterations)?

As to those wanting to make LRR better drafters and players, they have their own level of skill – watch them when they solo on Thursday nights usual, and neither is “bad” per se. But especially when they do these videos, they are going for the laughs and the silly things they do.

Graham actually did do the Crackling Perimeter deck on one of his Thursday night streams – won one game with it.

Graham was actually on the Community Team in one of the WOTC vs. Community a few years back, so he is not a complete newb to this. He just shows us what the reality is for more of us that get in maybe one or two drafts a week versus Marshall, Simon, and other grinders like Travis Woo and Kenji. I have all heard them claim to be upwards of 50+ drafts in each format by the end of it (and Kenji is probably well over 100).

Also Marshall had the LRR crew on his Limited Resources podcast, and they held their own pretty well in the strategy discussions and even were quite honest with their levels of play and what they are doing to get better.

But I would much rather watch them for the laughs!

First-time commenter, long-time viewer here. Always entertaining to see Kathleen showing up to try to push the Spike perspective. This was an exciting one for me to watch, since I love going deep on gates. It’s too bad you didn’t have much of a high end to the deck, though. I think gatekeeper decks really want a couple expensive bombs to close out the game in case you don’t grind them out in card advantage before then.

Keep up the great videos!
