  1. I thought you had the right idea with moving out of green until you first picked search for tomorrow in pack three, saying that the card (that was near the bottom of its respective pack in terms of power) finally solidified you in green. You were married to the idea of ramp and your colors long before you had to be, which made for an unentertaining draft and a deck with few interesting synergies.

  2. Hi.
    I loved the ramp deck.
    Enjoyed the rounds.
    It is obvious that you know your deck.
    Well done!

  3. You could tell ramp wasn’t open, yet refused to move out of it. I feel like you could have pretty easily moved into a solid control deck pack 2. Also I hate playing ramp against counterspell decks. I’d much rather be the counterspell deck. Anyways, congrats on the money finish at the pro tour.

  4. You could be a little less critical of your opponents. Makes it really hard to watch the videos when you act that way. Some people haven’t been playing Magic very long, thus playing with some of the more complicated cards for the first time is difficult and it is easy to make mistakes. Cube draft is especially daunting for newer players, and I always caught myself having to play faster because I was reading cards and thinking about interactions I have never experienced before, and taking to long.

    Thanks for the video though. Cube has been an amazing experience online, and seeing videos and hearing your insight is valuable.

  5. It’s kind of funny to hear you question your opponents mana base when you refuse to draft duals over terrible cards.

  6. I pick the fetchlands in pack 1. other than that its up to pref. imo (if u pick the woodelves etc). cube is nice :)

  7. Mike,

    You screwed up when you didn’t Koth P1P1.

    That is all.

  8. Why do I not see the right side of the video? In P1p1 I only see 12 cards. What am I doing wrong?

  10. this is cube draft, not the pro tour. if youre going to post videos to the public you should consider not always analyzing all your opponents plays saying how incorrect and dumb they are. a typical mtgo cube drafter is someone who probably isn’t that great of a player and isn’t familiar with all the cards/interactions throughout the history of the game. it just kind of makes you like a douche

  11. I agree with bryan and wjb147 –lay off criticizing your opponents. There are enough arrogant d-bags in Magic as is. Positivity makes for an enjoyable show. Thanks for the videos!
