I think you would have died to Triton Tactics. Do you think it would be better to play around it by attacking with just the flier?

He’s a world class player, just because he doesn’t conform to the “normal” high end player is a good thing – not bad. When everybody plays the same way Magic gets dull, it’s the vibrant and fun game that thousands of people play because of people like Simon.

Not surprised to see the trolls are out, but I am surprised at what they had to say, as their opinions are in complete opposite of mine. Love these videos!

He comes from a school of thought that values consistency and conservativeness — he’s quite forthcoming about that, and it’s a perfectly valid approach to drafting. He does a fine job explaining his lines, in pick decisions as well as in play. Simon is absolutely my favorite video drafter, and I’ve learned more from him than from anyone else. I’m not sure why those who dislike him so are here watching his videos and offering ad hominem attacks on Simon without much of any substantive criticism. (“NOT a player who won a pro tour” — thanks, guy.) I appreciate the content as always. Thanks, Simon!

Go play your Pro Tours instead of leaving troll comments here.

This is useful content, you are no wizards, other viewers can also use the hindsight that you are, or accuse Simon of not drafting risky and inconsistent decks.

Just the way your show affects me. and it was still worth my time to watch all of them. ty
