This week's draft comes with an extra special guest. Let us introduce you to John from The Mana Leek. John is a friend of ours, and our local judge. This week he joins us for a wild Mardu draft during which we won some games, learned some lessons, and had an all around good time.
The draft was very entertaining for me. I love to hear other people's opinions of cards, especially the ones I don't like all that much. Round one was just plain fun as we warmed up to a deck full of swift hitters.
The trouble began in round two. Both of our losses came after we made very obvious mistakes. We knew it was a mistake to keep the hand with a single swamp, and even though it looked like it was going to pay off, we just couldn't keep momentum once our opponent gained traction, and we were swiftly defeated.
During game two, we should have known to hold back. We could have waited our opponent out and, once he swung in, stolen one of his creatures to block with, thus two for oneing him, instead of allowing him to almost kill us on the crack back.
In both of these situations, had we just kept our heads and played like professionals, we may have come out on top. Just goes to show you that hot heads start fires, and we certainly got burned.
During round three we almost ended up on the same path. Luckily, we were blessed with a couple of good games and ended up coming out on top.
We'd love to have John back. If you have any comments for him, you can find him via his channel, and as always, you can feel free to leave us comments.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.
-Step.
