Fun draft. Love the channel. The only hard disagreement I had with your draft was the Frost Lynx over the Wingspan Mentor at 16:55 . I think the reasoning behind the pick was a bit flawed. "We don't want to give our creatures with flying, flying." Having several flying creatures already is a good thing with Wingspan Mentor, since they can give all those creatures +1/+1 counters. You also have enough non-flying non-humans to make the Mentor's flying counter relevant often enough. Don't get me wrong, Frost Lynx does work well with Yorion and Escape Protocol, but wouldn't having more damage flying overhead be more beneficial in most cases? As well as bigger blockers against your opponent's threats?
@@PandemoniumVice That is a good thought. I just felt like the deck would rather have a tool to stall rather than another win condition, as I have not found myself activating Wingspan Mentor all that often.
At 11:59 I would have taken the Snare Tactician, because even on the splash it's ceiling is high compared to a 2 mana cycler you're never going to cast. This was an awesome Yorion draft. #JeskaiYorion
#jeskaiyorion #umidunnosilverscrapes #constructedyorion? great job. I loved the "cycle Avian oddity to make the Monkey Fly and kill the opponent's creature". I would have made a crappier play and used up the Go for Blood earlier
I noticed you didn't even think about picking convolute but I think its an undervalued card in this format specifically (along with neutralize). A lot of people talk about zenith flare being so overpowered. I was even watching a Ben Stark video earlier where he said that one of the reasons it was so powerful is that you can't interact with it. Well that seems like a choice to me not a given. I understand essence scatter is better but convolute is not unplayable. There are also a number of situations in which the opponent clearly has green, black and white mana or white, black and red mana and you know whats coming,. They have an ultimatum and you know but nothing in your deck can stop it. Plus its underplayed enough that people might not expect it enough to play around.
I'm just getting back into magic after a long break. Limited is definitely my favorite format. I dont understand why you went with a 60 card deck for this draft. Can you please explain? Thanks dude
I think I would try to go the cycling path with this one. there has been two or three foxes. I'd also take the rescuer, and you already were in white. Cycling + Yorion + Ultimatum + Mythos seems good. I would take them over Essense Scatter, Capture sphere and the lot. But I figure you, like me, are already so bored with playing the same cycling deck every time.
Solid content but poor playing sometimes. Pitching mythos of Vadrok and capture sphere to take out Yorion with channel force was loose. Just use Vadrok or capture sphere! You were in no rush to get to your lands with a fist full of action.
