Incorrectly flagged on the homepage as an article rather than a video series–but of course, no complaints about the content. Simon, your drafting and commentary are, as usual, excellent, and one of my favorite things on this site.
Thank you for continuing to make MTGOAcademy a place I visit often.
@Manning: Thanks for pointing out the wrong flag. We changed it.
Insightful and thoughtful. A pleasure to watch.
Man, you could have had a Charmbreaker Devils and Burning Vengance in your deck for a red splash if you had taken Devils over the 2nd traveler’s amulet (which is what i thought was going to be a snap-pick with a deck that mills). You would have had one amulet and a grotto to help with that too. Oh well.
Simon, given your opponent had some very dangerous individual creatures in the deck, would it have been correct to sideboard in grasp of phantoms?
Grrr, no edit button – my comment was regarding round 2 vs the mayor.
