Happy Tuesday all! We’ve got another great draft video from DraftMagic.com superstar Vito Gesualdi (endlesschris). Here he tackles another 4-3-2-2 Rise of the Eldrazi queue, putting together a solid GW deck with some aura trickery abound. Definitely worth watching!

Great draft, Chris! I’m confused why in the last game you risked blocking the two damage, exposing your incredibly needed Battlement to any of the two-damage removal red/black spells, though…
As always, a pleasure, though! I hope y’all post more soon.
Chris – I figured that any smart opponent would know to blow my battlement up after seeing me noticably stall on land. My thought was he was just seeing if he could sneak 2 damage through before popping the siege-runner. I’m not even sure him using a piece of removal to finish it off was correct.
Awesome draft. I wish you guys would post more often.
Got it, Chris. Of course! I thought it was a different goblin, so clearly I wasn’t paying attention. You totally made the right call. That sucks… your deck seemed decidedly better than his.
Congrats on Sarkhan, though!
I mean … I have a sneaking suspicion the siege-runner was even mainboarded, considering he didn’t even use its removal effect on you. A shame. A crying shame. I’m hopeful another recording will be uploaded soon!
You were high during this draft Chris, weren’t you.
Caravan Escort > Soulbound Guardian A minute later you said “I want guys that attack”.. Also, the awful hand you kept game one would have been pretty damn good.
Snake Umbra > Red Card
Lust for War on the WHEEL > whatever worthless card you took
Totem Guide > Stomper Cub (especially since you got another next pick)
If you had taken the Lust for War to splash pack 1, staggershock pick 2.
Snake Umbra > Vindicator Gnarlid into Snake is just such a beating.
Gnarlid > for you deck than Gigantmancer for sure, I think even better than Pellaka Wurm, you want ten Gnarlids in this deck if you can.
Pathrazer and Hand are SO bad.
More hotdog recipes please! You didn’t even mention relish, did you?
This barely whet my appetite.
I liked reading your blog, thanks for posting such good content.
