What I would have loved here would be a simultaneous screengrab of the packs you were discussing when it came to Juza's picks. We appreciate your smiling face but visual context helps a ton, especially when discussing an entire pack.
Agreed! Came here to comment this. My favorite part when talking about drafts is having the whole pack to look at and think about. Ideally, future videos like this would include an image of the entire pack with a section off to the side that shows a larger version of the card being talked about.
he recently arrived there for me as well. Super high quality gameplay and one of the most pleasant/least toxic players out there. His podcast is also a gold mine of insightfulness
Alex is great. Just wish he would chop up his videos to each Color. I know I can ff through different content but it would make it easier and more videos for him.
The card I did underrate the most was Brave the Wilds. The World Championship and in particular your draft on Day2 really opened my mind and now I pick it whenever I can, playing 15 lands and splashing a third or even a fourth color if I get a bomb. In that sense it's very similar to LotR draft, the only difference is that Brave the Wilds is green and it needs to be played in a green based deck (green can't be the splash), and at best it becomes a 3/3 (instead of like a 6/5 with mega-menace). But really I was snobbing that card really a lot, especially because I was comparing it to Bushwack of Brother Wars that also has a fight option (but it's an uncommon). Also, your Day2 draft deck was really amazing and it was hilarious that both in limited and constructed you had a deck that used Up the Beanstalk as engine, that's also a very powerful card, because at worst it's a cantrip and bargain enabler, at best it gives you an insane card advantage!
Fun idea for a video. Early set evaluation is really hard, and it's amusing to see what how much even the best players get wrong in the first weeks of a format.
Loved the pre-release aftermath review! Would have liked to see some of the card's mentioned on camera since I don't have encyclopedic memory of the format - yet!
It is great to listen about articles that are behind pro subscription which is not available for people outside the US) If CF wants more paid subscribers, the obvious move is to fix this.
Yes! The card doesn’t add to your board or affect your opponents board. Literally gives you celebration for 1 turn and assistance the following. The card draw can be very awkward depending on the deck you steal from
@@ma5ticore Just pointing out facts. People get ad blockers and TH-cam premium to avoid ads, then people cover their video with ads and spend significant percentages doing in video ads.
@@shadowcatX2000 I mean, I get your point. But TH-camrs are trying to make a living off their work, which is creating content. Would you consider paying for their content?

Plus, it gives you the little minigame of seeing if you can figure out what the updated pick should be.
The way Reid was talking it sounded like we were supposed to see the packs too, which made it a little confusing
Exactly. This is in dire need of visual aid.
Alex is really killing it for limited lately. He might be my overall favorite content creator for draft.

All around a great person and great mentor and player

Congrats on the top 8 at Worlds
Always love Reid's content. :)

I love the thumbnail 😂
It's hard to keep up with the analysis of the packs without any extra visual aids.
Nice to see experts acknowledging mistakes about cards later on.

Reid... your Limited deck was INSANE all those Giants gaining life! :o
Ried just out here roasting everyone lol
Interesting...I went in thinking that rakdos aggro would be the best, because there were a lot of very decent payoffs for an already decent strategy.
Would you leave the Korvold saga in the pack even in boros? It triggers celebration as you cast it and helps trigger it on following turns

people did not evaluate recruiter very well lmfao its game breaking
Love your vids Reid
Just do a screen share or something lol. Love the video, but would like to see a better visual associated to the subject matter.
Liked this.
Would love to subscribe, but ppl in Europe still cant :(
I wish we would have gotten a Sealed primer before the 100k Open.
content is ok but the first 3 min are totally useless
10% of the video is advertising.
100% of the video is free. So?
