I really enjoyed the draft portion of this video because pack one was difficult with mixed signals on where to go. You talked through your thoughts well. This is why I watch your videos.
Hi, Nicolas. I really want to thank you for your videos. How you draft your decks and your thoughts about every pick really made me a better drafter. I hope you stay healthy and give us more content in the future. Thank you very much. Greetings from germany.
Last game was disgusting. You were so close on turning the tides. Opponent had only one way out. It's silly that you can actually win with a deck in limited while keeping a 1 lander and being mana screwed for 4 consecutive turns! And it's not like you waited and did nothing all these turns... Cycling might just be the deck with the highest ceiling in this format - and you don't even need rares for it to work at all. Heck, you could probably have a decent deck with commons only (four Snare Tacticians, five Dranith Stingers, bunch of 1 cost cyclers - tap, tap, ping, ping, ping, death)
You are a draft illuminate, I'm sorry for not contributing to your channel, in Argentina is almost imposible to contribute to foreing content creator due to the difference between dolar and pesos, and banks don't sell dollars to common citizens. Anyway great content as always, happy you share your vids here!
What is you problem with Brushmeat Poacher??!?? It always overperforms for me. It has won me countless games. You don't even pick it from packs with nothing for you. Have you tried it? Has it disappointed you that much? Is it a religious thing? Are you vegan or something??
I realise that. And you have Drafted an awesome deck!!! :) At some point (before you decide that Green was open), you were Blue - Black, and passed a Poacher. Then having setted in UG splash Black (you already had excellent fixing), you passed on 2 Poachers without much in the packs. Just pick it and leave yourself open to Black being a main colour and having U or G be the splash. Personally I would splash Poacher in your deck. You ended up with 7 Black mana sources in your deck and could easily have inclued an 8th (one more Swamp instead of 1 Island). I might be overvaluing Poacher, but it has impressed me every single time!!!
