Dominaria Draft | Channel Reid

[@BlaineTog]

1:21:45 I think the play here was to attack with the Keldon Warcaller and then play Firefist Adept to finish off whichever creature blocked, or even for no value if neither blocked. You badly needed to improve your board presence, and trading the Warcaller + the Adept's ETB trigger for either of your opponent's creatures would've been fine. It was a close call, though.

[@ZeroFate643]

Wild Onslaught+Radha is definitely a combo. If you're attacking with any moderately wide board you can kick Onslaught.

[@Semiomni]

I don't get not attacking at 30:54 had the two cheap tricks up so Adeliz attacks as an effective 5/4 if need be, obviously goes horrible if opponent's last card is a trick, but seemed far enough behind to need to take that chance.

[@felicitymac9577]

@56:30 I'm not sure I agree that you can beat a kill spell. If they kill Adeliz before blocks, they could block whichever one gets the strike on it, and you'd only connect for 3, right? Still agree with shipping with all, just a small note.

[@FlourensDelannoy]

about 5:00 equipment for Valdock over radiant lightning, and why not crosin druids?

[@kevincullers5987]

I like how his opponent didn't play around the kicked Shivan fire that he knew about, and then shamingly cast vicious offering after combat

[@frankjrmolley895]

lol hey Reid whatchu do buy-out google ads? I keep seeing your ad everywhere I go bro! GGs

[@qazzaqstan]

1:30 was that Nassif? Interesting color switch that late but might have been worth it edit: The end of round 1 game 3, don't you lose to a removal spell regardless as long as they casst it before declaring blocks so there is no way to get the prowless triggers and strike an unblocked creature? Not that it makes the attack any less correct just curious if I'm missing something. edit 2: SLINN VODA!!!!!

[@notanetdeck5264]

qazzaq Stan Yeah, that was Nassif Also, Reid was dead to a pre-blockers removal spell, good catch

[@qazzaqstan]

Ok thanks, too bad it was a league I'd have loved to see them queue against eachother

[@BrewberryJames]

whoa I 100% hope you asked bob the dog to also record his draft. Not to collude or anything during the draft, but to discuss the draft with him afterwards to gain insights into how others value cards and the picks they mustve made ( @1:27)

[@kevinhoffman5821]

Pierce the sky was a possible out for the opponent in game one. If they cast it before blockers, you would have been one point of damage short.

[@harryscheuerle4871]

Pretty sweet comeback in that one game

[@WIlsonFisher42]

Nassif and Reid in the same mtgo draft pod? HELLO AND GOOD LUCK.

[@michaelcochran6260]

We don't beat a removal spell if our opponent casts it on the adel before blocks, right?

[@sackreis9799]

Reid Duke's "perfect draw steps" Peter Griffin "cornerball"

[@jakobirobi2359]

I like the Krosan Druid far more than Gaea's Protector. Unless you have effects, best case for Protector is it blocks a 4 toughness creature, otherwise it just gets killed by a 2 power blocker, or removal. The druid is cheaper to play, tougher to kill, dodges more removal pieces, and can swing a game back in your favor later on

[@chrisphillips4761]

Please tell whoever adds in the graphic overlay CFB advertisements to stop doing it 5 seconds before a big conclusion of a game. Totally spoils what's about to happen. Just put it halfway through a match, why is that so hard?

[@marcaurel3934]

Staying in green was the way to go here for sure. I also dont see the reason behind not picking ancient animus claiming there are not enough creatures in your deck for it while having natures spiral and radiant lightning clearly sideboard cards flying around in the main deck. Anyway this must have been some time ago since fungal plots is actually better in an aggressive deck since after trading your creatures you get to stack your board again. The deck clearly should have been green red with a gaeas protector focus. You could have had 3 of those combined with a jousting lance and 2 warlords fury. The blue cards you ended up playing are just not cards really but the Protector first strike deck is actually quite real

[@anonofyesterday4650]

57:10 You should've said that before the PT finals.

[@kryss12345671]

Great video, as always. Please consider buying a cheap mic that sounds better than this. The quality reminds me of the early 2000s.

[@dylanturner18]

I could be wrong, but from watching Reid's last two drafts it seems as though he's letting his deck style preference influence his picks too much. I've noticed that Reid usually enjoys playing midrange/aggro type decks over control in constructed formats. Could it be that his affinity to play a certain way is clouding his judgement during the draft?

[@kevincullers5987]

Well yeah he's human

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

34:00 Why haven't you used Fervent Strike on wizard ? Am I missing something ? ( I am a newb player)

[@jonaszjuszczynski863]

Tough draft for Reid when it came to open colours, cool to see him find his spot.

[@Amlorian]

Broken bonds over fungal plots? It was so early in the draft that picking up a disenchant effect later during draft was pretty likely.

[@TheMatioman]

At around 10 mins could it have been better to take tolarian scholar over the red 2 drop as you were trying to pivot into u/r wizards?

[@TyPhoonAliEn]

Verix not having haste just doesnt seem right

[@alexmohr1072]

hmm. Interesting picks. I wonder how long ago this was recorded. I haven't had much luck with a lot of the cards he picked. Maybe we just have different taste in drafting but some of those cards just seem plain unplayable compared to the other options available.

[@superdrunkdnb]

Good video! Would be even better if not recorded with a pringles can.

[@ChannelFireball]

We can’t stop now.

[@RyanPaulMcCarthy]

Shoulda stayed RG!

[@plukkfisk8934]

Ad break at 1:30 after two picks? *Really?*

[@funnyjuk]

Taking helm this time, Reid?

[@ohthevalue2056]

Is there any point to this comment other than to sound condescending? He obviously took helm this time. He's also better at magic than you, Kevin.

[@stephenlofton5403]

Oh the VALUE I mean I thought it was funny. And fair.

[@HunterBelkiran]

I don't think it was meant in condescension, sir. Lighten up, seriously.

[@funnyjuk]

Oh the VALUE Woosh!

[@alexmohr1072]

dude chill out, he was just joking. And it if anything reid deserves to get ribbed a bit for that last draft, it wasn't very good. We all know he's better than we are.

[@RW77777777]

I liked the Radha deck better, the Shanna, Valduk & Eviscerate picks weren't particularly safe and the giant hole in the deck halfway through is no one's fault but the pilot's.

[@alexmohr1072]

also you seemed to be mana screwed a lot of the time, I've been running atleast 17 lands in my dominaria draft decks almost no matter what, even in my more aggressive decks. This is a format that really punishes you for missing land drops.

[@stephenlofton5403]

First eruption is awesome. Sweepers are just so rare and incredible in this format I can't speak highly enough of it. Lastly Gaea's Protector is nowhere near Champion of Flame that card can just win you games if you're able to value equipment highly enough. I've won an entire league just going short sword, champ, short sword smash for 7 on t3 because I got multiple champs.

[@notanetdeck5264]

Stephen Lofton Champion can be insane, but if you draw the wrong half of your deck it can also just be a 2-mana 1/1.

[@Amlorian]

I am not a huge fan of the early usage of cards like opt in limited, especially in dominaria. In G1M1 you had your plays pretty much lined up, you played opt saying that you didnt want a land and revealed a befuddle which is really awkward but was kinda predictable. That is also the reason why i dont like playing with less than 17 lands in dominaria, even with cards like opt in the deck and even with aggressive decks. Statistically you want to bottom your lands with the scry and draw them naturally, rather than digging for lands.

[@SkidMcmarxx]

I think sticking to green was the problem. P1P1 githu was probably better then Rhada

[@SkidMcmarxx]

Of course you switch when I type this (:

[@marcaurel3934]

Not sticking to green was the problem. Could have had a great deck with fungal plots first striking gaeas protectors and an abundance of removal through shivan fire warlords fury and ancient animus topping it off with verix bladewing.

[@true_plays_games]

Feels so bad losing to that deck. What a hot pile of garbage.

[@germanyjones2700]

Yuck

I don't know it just appeared in my suggestions on the right, I clicked on it something like 15 views and it said it was unlisted. I didnt realize it had just gotten either posted again or somehow I got in.
