Sorry about this one being a little late, but we had some technical difficulties with the recording. In particular, round three. Despite the video trouble, I hope this draft is as fun for you to watch as it was for us to play.
Garrett joins us again this week for another comedy of errors. After first picking Grindclock, we somehow managed to draft into an aggressive black green deck and beyond all reason, managed to come out on top.
I'm sure it helped that our opponent conceded in the first game at 19 life just because he'd kept a one land hand and hadn't been able to draw into his second. I don't know how to stress this enough, but Never Concede. Seriously. Unless the clock is an issue and you truly think you're dead, concession is not an option.
The value of sticking with it is well demonstrated by our play in round 2, where we somehow manage to stabilize at 1, and manage to take our opponent from 20 to 3, and forced him to concede instead. It would have been tempting to say "I can't get back from this, all he needs to do is top deck a lightning strike, and we're dead" but instead, we played as well as we could, kept with it, and ended up stealing a win.
We'd like to thank Garrett for coming out and joining us again. Maybe next time we'll draft green the way it was meant to be drafted.
For now, thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.
-Step.
