  1. Why not pick the money rare dur­ing an online draft? It makes your deck slightly worse but pays for the draft … and also works with land­fall guys.

  2. In round 2 game 2 part 2, why did you take an addi­tional 8 dmg from ur mino­taur + roil ele­men­tal? He already has board posi­tion so he has no need to play any­thing in his 2nd phase. It wouldve been wiser to do it before he attacked or do it on your turn just in case you topdeck some­thing use­ful and then bait him to use up his trick. Dont you think so?
    Maybe you did not care at that point any­more due to draw­ing not enough land or too much land in pre­vi­ous games and you lost con­fi­dence in your deck and your play.

  3. I think he was play­ing around bounce or any kind of trick, hop­ing his oppo­nent would tap out for some­thing and thus be able to steal the game.

  4. Many bad plays from jboots could have won round 2 game 2 easily(grim dis­cov­ery in hand and don’t trade crea­ture?) and he only passed first round due to how bad the opp was(lower 10% pool).
