  6. OK, so i gues it was just temporal…something. Its all right now. Thanks for your care, btw.

  7. Oh man… wants to play reanimation, doesn’t even look at Survival of the Fittest. Then takes Ulamog, who is basically impossible to reanimate outside of a Necromancy, because it’s a ‘good reanimation target’. I haven’t finished watching but this feels like it’s going to be golden.

  8. After 2 minutes, this draft must be a huge level. Passing looter and taking ulamog is lol.

  10. Round 1 was a glorious comedy of errors. Overall, this was probably the most consistently funny draft you guys have done in a while. The aggressive scoops where just hilarious.

  11. Hey guys,

    I have a great idea for your next holiday draft if you get a chance. Ramp is just the most prevalent archetype, with Signets being a key part of many decks. Sol Ring is considered the strongest card in the format, along with the Moxes . . . not to mention the Swords are crazy threats in this format.

    Can you guys draft ALL of the artifact hate you see in the cube? I think this would be an awesome draft. And you guys may just accidentally break the format, like you did with five-color 2-drops in Gatecrash. I think that mono-artifact hate could be something a lot of viewers would want to see.

  13. Black/Green can be a decent combination for a reanimation strategy, your first few picks after the animate dead,
    could have been Looter – Survival – Ink-eyes – Genesis – Treespeaker – Foothills. might have been able to create some kind of reanimate/ramp kind of deck, but then everyone makes those kind of broken decks, but who else would we get to see try and draft Cats? Ajani Pack 1 pick 1 next time, :).

  14. “Hey, we finally got a piece of power.”
    “Nah, let’s take another mythic six drop, not something that ramps and fixes in our five color ramp deck.”

  16. wtf just happened? I understand and concur on kitty love. Reanimator however is a different dance alltogether. It was very funny but for all the wrong reasons. Woke up my neighbours though. It seems my “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” was a little overboard. Thx guys!!

  17. I see the comments have hit the high points already with an acknowledgement from Kathleen that they don’t know how to draft reanimator!

    P1P1 Animate Dead
    P1P2 – Pass Looter (discard outlet) and take sculler
    P1P3 – Take Will for Storm backup (like Storm can ever be your backup plan).
    P1P4 – Eldrazi – “OOH a reanimator target” – LOL!

  19. This was the first time i didn’t get to the end of the draft video… there was just nothing happening… so frustrating… seeing pick a reanimator target that doesn’t go to the graveyard (??? NOOBS ???)… and it was so bad it didn’t even get to funny

    ok like i said this was the first time for a LRR-draft, felt like some 10 year olds were drafting, but hopes up for next time !

  20. Thanks for another hilarious draft, guys! Think my favorite parts were the round 2 hard scoops, and Graham constantly forgetting Thalia was on the field. Keep em coming!

  21. knx, you should really finish the draft video and watch the round videos. Things actually happen!

    SPOILER:

    They make the finals!!!

    END SPOILER

  22. I can’t even watch the rest of the draft vid. Please just go into these things with a plan for once. My suggestion is to pick cards/combos from the cube that you want to make a fun deck around before you start the draft at least as a guide. Then go with the flow to make for your usual entertaining vids.
