  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).
