your drafting is flawless, and clearly you had some help from the table. i tend to find you a bit too conservative in play, but learning from your style is exactly what i have needed to grow as a player. excellent games, sir!

The reason I love your drafts is there is always a good reason for taking a pick. From power level to mana consistency, it’s a solid reason and more importantly it makes sense and works.

For someone like myself who’s looking to learn, this really makes the difference.

I agree wholeheartedly with the torch over moan. I think many people underestimate the torch. It kills many creatures, and the fact that it is good vs vampires and zombies is just icing.

I would have considered myself drafting black and taken the victim of night, but I’m not as good a player or drafter, so take that with a grain of salt. I also tend to commit very early to two colors so that I get more of the higher power level cards. However, this can lead to losing more picks if a color must be dropped later.

Sorry to repeat what the others have already said but: a) welcome back; b) this is the best MTGO content online; c) you are one of the most articulate and thoughtful drafters/players making videos. Thanks to you and to MTGO Academy for the great content.

Keep up the great work!

very nicely done draft. I agreed with all picks except for the moan of unhallowed. The power level of moan makes it the pick, especially since you just took a triple black spell.

If i had been doing the draft i would have grabbed the foil gringrim just for the money, unless it was a top8 draft or something with higher value.
