  1. Wow! That was a very awe­somely greedy deck except your in-game plays were very greedy. Attack­ing when you know he has some sort of removal and when he has a much stronger board posi­tion. Very greedy. If you played con­ser­v­a­tively you may have had a chance at sur­viv­ing longer and pos­si­bly winning.

    Also– Pick­ing a ter­ri­ble Kor card over a mon­ster Baloth? I havent played Zen in a while but Im quite sure that Kor Out­fit­ters and Duelists still table…

    Other than that– Fun draft!

  2. wow… maybe im just greedy but i would have stopped car­ing about the match after see­ing that many rares and would have picked up the sec­ond black mythic… you’d get your money back and more with all that stuff and there’s still a chance that you could get a few packs (espe­cially if your play­ing 4–3-2–2).

  4. I’m pretty sure that you need some more expe­ri­ence play­ing Lim­ited. And commentating.

  5. @Jboots: I have no com­plaints with your greedy draft deck, how­ever, play­ing har­row before drop­ping Ob-Nixilis Match 1 game 1 instead of play­ing Khalni Gem and set­ting up many turns of land­fall with har­row still in hand seems incor­rect. Add that to a few exces­sively greedy in-game plays, and thats how I see you lost the game. Can you please fur­ther explain your rea­son­ing, because I am confused.
