From what I can tell, Marshall’s attack made almost no sense except as a ploy to get Gray Merchant into the graveyard. (The other possibility, I suppose, is that Marshall had a combat trick, but then he probably just swings with everything.) With that in mind, the block with Phalanx Leader is a clear choice.

I would rather get cards out of my opponents library rather than risk mill the one card that can get stuff out of your own graveyard…?

I pretty much stopped watching when I realized it was gonna be just another black/green creation. I’m so tired of seeing black/green. :(

I’m just messing around, Marshman. Great draft, love the content.

The stipulations did make watching the draft portion more fun, but ultimately it made watching the actual games a lot less fun. Maybe if you had been able to pick a colour P1P1, and had to take the lowest power creature in those colours, it would have given you a slightly more powerful deck? (You would have taken leafcrown dryad over the awful wanderer, for example)

That’s definitely a scarier and more relevant ability than the Hundred-Handed One on that board, and the Pegasus wasn’t going to be a threat for a few turns. However, the lands were against him that game anyway, so it was a tough spot.
