Hi Simon.
love the videos.
In the M1G1 You should have attacked with the crusher, in my opinion. Since dealing damage to him would have let you kill the oriad and then you could have blocked his 3/3 all day

Nope, we don’t mind the link at all! (We do have our spam filter set up to put comments with links into the moderation queue, though, but I check — usually — once per day for them and approve ones like yours.)

@articneko: I hope the mtgoacademy folks don’t mind (apologies in advance if they do), but it’s in the blog section of the LRCast website:

Hi Simon, thanks for the videos. In game 2 of match 2 I was almost shouting at the screen “he knows about your lampad!” as you kept discussing how he might think you didn’t have it. You revealed it with Commune.

@manfred, I think taking him P1P1 is way better than taking him P3P1. Having Xenagos as your first pick leaves you open to sculpt a deck. Going 3 colours is not that difficult in Theros. I see what you’re saying. I have seen a lot of drafts where people get married to their first pick multi-coloured card and skews their whole draft, but in this case, the upside on Xenagos is just so worth it, being a value machine and being the most difficult to deal with card type. I just wish Simon saw how open black was much earlier. =) Polis Crusher is also nowhere near on the power level of Xenagos and there I agree, something solid/safe like Emissary would probably be a better pick over Polis Crusher (were it P1P1). BTW, if you want to see a cool and successful GR draft deck, check out Marshall’s draft over at LRCast. =)
