Fun to watch as always. I’d kinda like to see you do a ‘no-pants’ draft before the block is out, though I admit I’m not sure no enchantments is viable in this format…

I too was expecting a kitty theme, especially after P1 Fleecemane, P2 Nylea’s Emikitty. Third pick Tap Cat seems foreordained. But then it was just kind of a dream Selesnya draft, which is fun too. For the record, for your final note about the last time you went 3-0 being Gatecrash, didn’t you go 3-0 when you forced maximum Bestow? IIRC you were 3 or 4 color, and stumbled onto the deadly combination of multiple Wavecrash Tritons + Voltron bestowing onto them, which kept stomping people brutally and amusingly.

You know what would make good use of the new client? Another blind draft. The last one was neat, and it’s been a while. It’s an idea to keep in mind for when you can’t think up any fun stipulations.

M1G1, you reason that you’ll just play out the hopeful eidlon as an extra lethal blocker, but then you chose to play staunch hearted warrior with it instead of nylea’s emissary – clearly a 3/3 trample if better than a 2/2 when you are just trying to pass a single point of damage past your opponents!

I start wondering if Kezzerdrix is not a bot, refreshing constantly each and every MTGOAcademy video and dropping a random rage-comment on MTGO o.ô

Anyway, @the vid: I do have to say that I prefer watching stipulation drafts – I expected a Cat draft here and was a bit disappointed.

Also, there were quite a few picks and plays to which I quited disagreed, and got to “rage” a couple of times in front of my computer.

Still, I enjoyed it overall and the last match was nice because of the angry opponent
