   ok one more comment. That aetherize was crazzzzzy late that is a first pick easy, and its not possible that 8 players none playing blue.

   Also the UB mill 3 cypher card isnt something you should worry about its pure trash.

   Haven’t watched the games yet but drafting white was pretty indefensible. Green and blue were extremely open and your white was mediocre. You should have hopped into green in like your 3rd pick but still had opportunities to transition into gruul when good green cards started wheeling. You kept saying “look at all these awesome late green cards” and then took a marginal boros card instead. Super frustrating to watch.

   Sorry…meant 4th pick not 3rd for hopping into green where the pick was scab clan or charm over keyrune.

   Naah Aetherize is not really first pickable – it’s way too easy to play around. Maybe in a really bad pack but there should always be somehting better..

   However, 14th pick Nimbus Swimmer is pretty sick.

   Anyway, you should be happy running that deck 2-1… Especially when compared to your first opponents nuts Boros deck :)

   thx for the content though.. always enjoyable to watch :)

   Watching right now. I can’t WAIT for him to try and cast that Skullcrack, and then realise he maybe shouldn’t have been bitching about the Exectioner’s Strike.

    That was fun. I have to say, as far as Extort, I think you want to lead with the enchantment nearly every time. You want that extra trigger for one more mana and value. I think it was incorrect to play a 2-drop before the blind obedience. If you can’t swing until turn 5 with the daring skyjek, bomber corps and can’t block dude, so what? You’ve drained him for 3 already and still have an army.

    Thanks for posting.
