Love your strategy and style, especially representing Golgari, one of my favorite guilds. Some of those wins were pretty spectacular, and it was nice to see Selesnia get its butt handed to it in draft. Thanks for the vids!

You beat a lot of decks that have more power cards than you just through tight playing!

I don’t know why you disagree with this format beng stale at this point, even though you say there are only 5 archetypes – what do you mean when you say the environment is very deep? That there is still a lot to learn about optimizing your plays/decks? That choosing a Guild to settle in involves very deep choices? That still sounds very monotonous in terms of exploring varied strategies.

You play more conservatively then i do but it served well for the most part. Thought if you had moved in on the troll in round 3 game 2 you may have been able to put enough pressure on him to change the outcome. If I’m ahead a game and i haven’t seen a good answer for the troll in game one i would have pumped it to 5 in a hart beat.
I would also have picked up the equipment as you had 5 life gain creatures plus the troll as excellent targets.
Good commentary in the first segment, would also like to hear you break down the commons and uncommon in gate crash for limited.

Great playing. I especially love the patience, which many players sorely lack.
