Hey, Marsh! I would love to see more draft action with Jon Louks , you two make such a good team )
I have the absolute worst timing. Sorry for messing up the start of the Round 1 Video!
Really? Stun Sniper, double Branching Bolt, Path, Dark Temper? Must be nice.
M2G2 – Having seen that he had two Branching Bolts already, I’d have played around it.
You had Kathari Bomber against his Sanctum Gargoyle and Jund Hackblade. I would Dark Temper the Gargoyle, then swing in with the Bomber. You end up with 2 goblins which can trade with the Hackblade and he takes a little damage. Then don’t unearth the Bombers until he’s tapped out. He shouldn’t get a chance to 2 for 1 you.
Your way played into Bolt too much and missed a couple of points of damage. You may have wanted to keep the Dark Temper for something bigger, but you had Battlemage and Bituminous Blast in hand.
Did you see a different line that didn’t pan out or did you just not see this one?
Now I feel the need to go force bant again. Love exalted far too much.
Would it have been worth bringing in thought hemorrhage for the branching bolts?
Ive never played shards draft so i dunno if the 4 casting cost is too prohibitive or not.
