  1. Not much mention of the Rubbleback Rhino in the sideboard. I feel like it’s a viable option to stick in. Obviously it stretches the mana a little, but 3/4 is a solid body in the format of 3 power centaurs and rakdos attackers.

  2. “What I want to know is, are you doing this?”

    *gestures to Golgari Keyrune*

    “That’s the KEY here.”

    Oh Marshall…you’re going LSV on us :)

  3. Also, rubble back rhino is detain-proof which works well against that UWr guy’s fastest draws

  6. M2 G1 on the turn you trade Golgari Decoy for his Knight, the play is to not activate keyrune attack with everything else after declare blockers dramtic rescue targeting decoy. He takes 8 you replay decoy and kill him on your next turn with dispel backup.

    That said: Nice deck and I always like watching your videos.

  7. Saw / heard you on the PT Coverage and have to ask you a question:

    Why the hell are you a normal / skilled player here, but when you comment on the ProTour your understanding of the game goes down by 94%?

  8. It’s like watching you do the original ravnica draft from a few weeks ago… you seem to be struggling with the guilds, and get into problems for pinning yourself down on 2 colors so early, you just don’t get enough playable cards to make a guild work. You passed some good black cards later on, with allready 2 promenades in the deck. I know it doesn’t feel right during drafting but if there is one set that can really make multicolor work it is this one !
    It feels really good to see you and the other videodrafters pass all the cards that allready gave me 3 6-0 drafts… I hope I can sit on them for a few weeks longer.
    Talking about misplays : one game i think i am casting Seller of Songbirds while actually i am clicking on Rootborn defense (with mana allready paid)… very embarassing on an empty board :) !

  11. I think the critical pick was pick 3. I would’ve taken the Arrester and moved in on UW tempo which has to prioritize detain cards. Once you get a critical mass of detain/bounce effects the deck feels unbeatable. You would’ve been able to follow it up with the unblockable guy and Farrie Imposters both of which are awesome in the archetype. Instead you winded up with an awkward hybrid deck that did too many things and none of them particularly well.

  12. Courser’s Accord is one of the best commons in the set. 6 power and 2 blockers for 6 is a good deal and it can get even better with a Slime Modling or even just by populating a bird for evasion. It’s got great synergy with the Selesnya cards while still being very strong on it’s own. I run 2 in every green based deck that I can.

  13. I think by far the worst pick was p1p1. Why are you taking a WW2 enchantment that does nothing the turn it comes down? A regular removal spell is better and you had a choice of ultimate price or augur spree. Both cards can be splashed and can be played earlier than your pick.
    Having mispicked, I agree with Dave C. You should be trying to build the azorious tempo deck. The cards were there to make it work.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a few bad drafts myself. I just can’t understand why you decided to slam that card to start off the draft. I don’t remember you providing any reasoning during the video.

  14. God, i hated this player. I missclick and boom, have to play it from the beggining again.
