@unfamiliar: Quite the contrary. Me talking about Arnold doing daycare was meant to be a reference to Kindergarten Cop. Non-native humor/irony is not easy to pull off, sorry if this one didn’t work out as intended.

@carrotus: In red-green, your creatures will usually outclass opposing ground creatures. Some of the most dangerous threats your opponents can muster are flyers, especially four-toughness ones. I really like Thunderbolt as a way to take those out. In other games, they will act as a surprise finisher in a ground-on-ground race situation. I prefer to maindeck up to two of them and board them out accordingly, as long as my deck is at least somewhat aggressive to make use of the Lava Spike mode.

@Chris: Everything I use is free and mostly open source. I record my videos with CamStudio, using and XVid Codec with maximum quality settings. If you want to record your own videos and need some detailed advice, contact me on twitter @simongoertzen.

@Robin: Blessings of Nature has a very high upside, that much is clear. I really wanted to stress how powerful Druid’s Familiar is, which is why it ended up in both categories. All of your points regarding the draft and deckbuilding are valid as well. For black, I like the signals to be a little stronger than that. The other things are details which I might do differently today than when recording the draft.

@vis: I was trying to maximize my creatures’ power which makes the Peddler much more expendable. I think that Mad Prophet is quite slow and I really only like looters to get rid of excess lands, which is difficult if you want to cast 5- and 6-drops. The way my deck is setup I will win most topdeck wars anyway, which is why I can work things out without a Prophet. Thunderbolt handles cheap flyers in the early game, but also some of the most dangerous cards blue and white decks present.

Thanks again for all your comments, I create this series for you, the viewers, so it’s great to hear your comments, feedback and thoughts. Metaphorically speaking, my goal is to teach you how to fish instead of simply showing off today’s catch — it feels good to know that I succeed at least a little bit with that. Until next time!

Other than that I think your picks were spot on and your deck seemed quite strong. Moving into reed seemed like the correct decision. I do like Nightshade Peddler a lot so that might be my only other quibble but you had a lot of beef so maybe the deathtouch is less relevant.
