Alara limited reviews? Did I wake up in 2009? /jk
Actually, the block format is different enough that this is an interesting topic – though this was much more “podcast” style discussion than a video. You also belabored some curious cards, in particular I’m not sure you needed to spend quite as much time on that rares as you did.
Yeah we do spend a lot of time talking about cards you aren’t going to see to often. Our goal was in part to provide a level of detail you can’t find anywhere else.
I think it might be very interesting especially for beginners to get a card by card review for the block. Don’t forget that Alara Block appears quite often in the future in “Nix Tix” form and the format is in my opinion one of the best draft formats in terms of strategy and fun. I am NOT very fond of Zendikar – it is to fast and does not really allow for skill to shine….
I too do not like ZZZ (though ZZW seems a lot better, WWK has seems to have a much more balanced print run).
I am also a huge fan of these, even if it is an *old* draft format it is an awesome draft format, and you two are definitely people I highly respect as drafters in general and especially Ala block.
Ala Block is definetly the best draft format, would love to see more draft videos from it and in general!!!
