Must say that I love the format because you’ve got so many options and choices to make. Like I said keep the videos coming!!!

I absolutely would have cut the dross hopper and played 2 plains, I would also have straight up cut the neurok and kept the auriok in mind for the SB.

R2G1: You should be attacking with your first skinrender earlier. He cannot afford to let you imprint it on the Vat or you just dominate him. If he blocks it with the perilous, well, thats pretty spicy with the Vat too. By not attacking with it earlier you put yourself behind the 8-ball. You ripped out of it with the timely second ‘render, but that same isn’t close if you don’t get stuck in the “must have a flyer in the vat” line of thinking.

You discuss most other mistakes/judgment calls yourself.

Final impressions: The straight RB build is almost certainly better than splashing white. I probably overestimated the need for any more removal. The Arrest should probably have been a SB option for something you couldn’t deal with easily (opposing Dragons/demons).

Given the power of your pool you didn’t need to worry about to many cute tricks (Hawks + Censer etc.) but there are a lot of powerful oblique engines in this format – identify them earlier and profit in the first few weeks of draft while others are exploring the more obvious (read: keyworded) synergies.
