  1. Eter­nity Ves­sel may be one of my favorite cards for draft and sealed. Once it goes online, you’re set, and with your cards, I would run it every time, espe­cially over a spread­ing seas which basi­cally cycles and turns a land into an island.

  2. Thanks for post­ing this. Although I would like a lit­tle more insight into why your doing what you’re doing. For instance, with the first pick you say you like the machete bet­ter than the other cards, but you don’t say why. Another time you dropped a kicked Aether with two mana up but left a trusty machete in your hand. It helped when his next play was a kicked Mold Sham­bler, but why did you leave it in your hand? Lit­tle things like that could go a long way.

    Thanks again for post­ing these.
