  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.
