Longtime Magic the Gathering player Jeff G (roodypoo) takes us through yet another Rise of the Eldrazi draft. Plenty of Eldrazi action here in this interesting ramp build – but will it be enough to take home the prize?
Rise of the Eldrazi Draft #8
– June 16, 2010Posted in: Rise of the Eldrazi, Videos
Why does the commentary stop in video six and turn into horrible tv background noise? I was following it, listened for a minute then just turned it off.
Hellion Eruption is a BOMB; getting passed it was a serious signal, the hatcher next was no suprise.
Explosion was the pick after the hatcher, removal, card advantage etc.
Agree with the rest of the picks, except I would have taken the second feed.
The lack of Flame Slash pack 2 was incredibly sad…
Vendetta > Spasm, removal is at a premium in this deck, you could get one next pick anyways.
Agree with rest of pack.
Some minor quibbles with pack 3, but mostly agree with the desicions you eventually made.
In constuction would probably play Lust for War is a win condition.
Would NOT play less than 18 land with 10 drops.
Might of the masses was an easy cut. Zof Shades an even easier cut.
Passing Lust for a Living Destiny makes me incredibly sad.
Disregard, going through draft too fast. =) Still, Living Destiny?
Yeah, this ended up kind of weak. Not the best draft cap we have had here, but it is still a semi interesting deck. The mic issues have been worked out. Vendetta was correct. That plus flame slash would have made the deck way better.
@Taylor, I had 2x growth spasam, 2x battlement and giant. I dont think that more land was the issue. Not having any removal was really the problem. I haven’t done that great with ramp decks though, so I may be wrong.
I think the dissaperance was actually an auto pick of a basic land since you hid them..
This is a really great read for me, should admit that you’re among the best bloggers I ever saw. Thanks for publishing this educational post MTGO Draft Videos – ROTE Draft #8 | Draft Magic. Carry on the great work, I have added you to my blogroll.
