Great draft, great video. Always learning a lot here. A remark though: imho in game 1, round 1, you were a bit too sure about not dying to gnawing zombie. Actually, after the Seakite Drop in the last turn, you were 1 life away from dying. If opponent had blocked rumbling baloth, sacking the seakite for 1 life drain (you at 6), then attacked with all his guys for 2 damage (you blocking the blightcaster with archaeomancer, taking 2 of seakite and the zombie (4), he would have had 3 life drain on the table – another creature draw and you are dead.

Why, why, why did you not respect the Scroll Thief in round one? You were facing a black/blue deck, and every time you did not deal with the thief, you let your opponents removal 2 for 1 you. You had two easy answers in Sensory Deprivation and Hunt the Weak, but you did not use them because you thought the Scroll Thief was beneath your deck. That may have been true in other limited formats, but not in M14.

Seeing that there is another episode recorded already, but realizing this column is every two weeks makes me a sad slinger

I think for the third game you should have taken out the coral merfolk, between the burn, first strike and X/3 creatures it doesn’t match up well despite the opponent being an aggressive deck I don’t think the 2/1 is the man your looking for. I think is a good example of why the 2/1 s are bad in this format, even the decks you want them against make them irreverent most of the time.
