Hey guys,
I’ve been listening since episode one and been a clan member practically since its inception. You’ve covered so many great topics over these 80 episodes that my limited game has tremendously improved, and this episode was no different. One thing I don’t think you guys have ever really talked about, and maybe because it’s not strictly nuts and bolts in terms of gameplay, is when and why you sometimes walk away from a draft. If you are like me than you draft online often, when you can find a moment to fit it in. But sometimes those moments disappear. I think in the past I have been very, very reluctant to walk away from a draft in progress (which any nuts and bolts player can understand, wanting to maximize EV and all) but lately I’ve been choosing to take the losses when family/friend pressures to do so come up.
Maybe you can talk a little bit about the etiquette in handling this kind of situation. What, if anything, do you say to your family or girlfriend before you go to do a draft? Under what circumstances have you walked away?
Thanks guys.
re: Pestilencial Soul Eater – Not sure quite where you guys came down on this. I certainly don’t view it as a band-aid. This guy is sneaky good in the right deck. It is probably not going to be a high pick, but picking this up in the middle-bottom of the pack is great value in the first pack. It being a 6/3 on a open board is a great option, and just the ability to chump with a withering dude is great. I suspect this guy finds his way into the top 23 of numerous draft winning decks.
re: Forced Worship, do not confuse with pacifism. Thank you guys for comparing to guard duty instead.
hey there–still listening to the set review, but wanted to mention this: You guys are kind of down on the shrines (and I agree, mostly), but I feel like you didn’t consider proliferate. If you are waiting for the counters to build up on a shrine it would be very bad. If you proliferate 2-3 times in a turn, things are at least a little different.
