  1. Haven’t watched yet but really happy to see that someone did a ZZW draft vid, thanks for it.

  2. This was really fun to watch. I really liked your UG deck, it seemed like a good one that gave you some fun choices and yet a strong defense and offence. That vampire deck at the end though…wow. I’ve rarely seen anyone be able to draft mono colored well, and especially to draft tribal. They must have gotten packs with all the right vampires in them. Very cool match, I was rooting for you to win, but it seemed like a worthy deck to lose to in the finals.

  3. Also, I admire how you don’t give up easily. I have seen a few matches where this has served you well, and you have come back against what looks like defeat and turned it in your favor against an opponent. It didn’t happen this time, but I was still thinking it might have until the very last few turns when you top decked a land.

  4. I don’t understand why you couldn’t use the Baloth Cage Trap when your opponent played the Blazing Torch M2G1?

  5. R1G3 when you attacked with the Grazing Gladehart, couldn’t you have droped the Soaring Seacliff with the Walking Atlas and give the Grazing Gladehart flying to counter the Quicksand’s ability? I know you were worried about Chain Reaction, but gaining more life and killing his land for free would have been better I think.

  6. Imho the two 3/1 Flyers over the Pack picks were wrong with the cards you had up to this point. With double Larva and allready a 3GGG card, I can’t see this beeing right. Also your 3-drop slot was allready full before picking up the two drakes.

    At least you didn’t kill your manabase completely for them in deckbuilding but took a step back there and still ended up with a really good deck.

  7. I saw Marshall trying ZZW too, I was waiting for him in the final but he got a 0-2 loss round 2; now I see he put another cubedraft up, guess he was ashamed of the result of his ZZW (after having minor results in other older sets)

  8. Off topic, but I saw you on twitch tv’s GP London 2013 Gatecrash Sealed event! Recognized your voice first from these videos. Hope you had fun in London!
