Re: Match 2

First off It’s great to see some MMA drafts. I only play paper magic and since I’ll only get 2(maybe 3) drafts I am scrambling for as many videos as I can.

You can cast Summoners Pact on your turn, then cast the creature, then pay for pact later, like echo. You should only really pact in your opponents turn if you desperately need something to win, or when you have a lot of mana.

Also game 3 of round 2, if you played Rathi Trapper with Peppersmoke mana up, he may have attacked with the Thallid Germinator which you would shrink and kill. Then you’d have hit the search for tomorrow with Riftsweeper. Value!

Keep the videos coming. This format looks like a lot of fun.

If you can do an AVR draft and hope to crack a lost in the woods and play 60 forests one lost in the woods it’ll be hilarious.

hey! love all your crazy draft videos! seen a lot of them! love the story times and the crazy special rule draft! like go for gold and 2 drop, altho the unbearable was just unbearable
but! you should do a “Timmeh!” draft, Timmy likes big guys! 5/5 and 6/6 and they should cost a lot to cast!!! and not be very good (like rakdos ring leader) timmy favorite creature of all time is ofc Leviathan a 10/10 trample…:D who doesnt love a leviathan…

I’m not sure you guys were quite understanding the Ravager interactions in R1. He still didn’t have quite enough but when he has Ravs you can’t afford to leave an unblocked artifact creature. He sacs all artifacts except unblocked artifact creature to the Ravager adding +1/+1 counters. Then he sacs Ravager to itself and modulars all those counters onto the unblocked artifact creature.

In this case, at 36:00, if you leave homunculus unblocked he sacs ‘mite and manta to Ravs which now has 4 counters. He then sacs Ravs to itself and puts those 4 onto Homunculus which unfortunately not longer has a buddy artifact but does have 6 power and you go down to 2 and are dead to burn. Or if you don’t block two creatures (ie Homunc and Armorer or Homunc and ‘mite) you’re just dead.

In the end you made the right blocks but it didn’t seem like it was for the right reasons.

Someone already pointed out the use of Summoner’s Pact, but I think you guys totally missed the interaction the card had with your deck. Summoner’s pact is basically another one of any of the 4 drops in your deck when you have it in your hand with 4 mana (including at least 2 forests).
You tutor up a 4 drop (like a dino) play it on your turn and basically pay the echo next turn.

@JaceTheBodySculptor, we didn’t know enough about the format to confidently force anything. We still want to show you guys entertaining games!

I did force Storm over on our YouTube channel, and that was fun. I’m sure we’ll be able to do something sillier next time!
