I find it interesting that neither of my picks were even mentioned. My first was Think Twice, for early hand accel and a mana outlet for downtimes, and Ambush Viper (or as I like to call him, Ninja Trouser Snake, because 'he shows up out of nowhere and ****s you up'), since it lets you bait your opponent into attacking with their best creature(s), and then punishes them for it. Combat Step tricks are never bad, especially when on a stick. Instead of my picks, he talks about...Gutter Grime...
pick 1 pack 1 should actually be prey upon. Mentor is good, but he is no bomb and no removal. Mentor also makes you draft a certain way. You are going to pick up small dudes highly, and go into blue or green. So much commitment for a 2/2 that might draw you some cards is usually wrong. If you can pick up some white two power flyers, Mentor is amazing; if you can't, then he fails to impress.
Prey upon doesn't make you draft a certain way, it's solid removal and green is almost always open.
I tend to not dip into any colors early unless I see some really solid cards for a specific color. Bonds of Faith both dips into a color (altough W is good) and isn't as flexible as you first think. Since there are bunch of humans (even when they flip like Delver of Secrets etc.) in the set it doesn't turn into a removal as often as you'd like. So I'd go with the color neutral bomb.
These are some really shitty previews. From what I gathered, all he's going to do is show us pack 1 pick 1 with no slight insight it is as to why its important. I've seen several of the other pros do drafts LIVE, and speak nonstop the entire time. And then they have the nerve to do it for FREE. Do you see the problems here?
Looks like you got the audio problems fixed and the show looks a lot smoother. Good work Evan, I know it must be hard trying to juggle two shows at once, and sadly people don't seem to see that.
The uvenwald primordials is a better green card than prey upon - and it shows what color you're drafting. I would take mentor - because it's the very, very easy pick here...
Gerry needs to calm down; he looks tense in all of these videos. I didn't get the sarcasm on the Gutter Grime, and thought he meant it was the best pick at first.
Why are people talking about "unsubscribing"? Comon, if you don't like GerryTV and see a vid in your sub-box, just delete it.
Personally, I like some hindsight from a more competent player (nothing to remove from Evan), especially in limited since it's a somewhat fresh format.
I would also like to see an "advanced" edition of this video, like "what would you take at the 4th pack, given that you took X and Y cards". THAT's where most of the draft mistakes take place, IMO.
You shouldn't feel stupid for taking Gutter Grime. Until you draft the format a few times. I also chose Bonds of Faith but had you posted this vid just after ISD was released, I probably would have picked the Gutter Grime as well. It seems like a bomb, but usually sucks for all the reasons you gave, and if it gets removed, you lose all your tokens.
Wow why are so many people bitching. I for one love Gerry's informative quickies in conjunction with the magic show. At least we get to see some of the content for free. If you wanna unsubscribe, just do it and shut the the fuck up.
take this crap off... if you expect us to watch informative stuff but expect us to have to pay for it on scg... then just take it off. we are not on youtube to pay for previews. please do something bout this. its imformative but if i have to pay for it to see it, then i dont want to.
SCG please just put Jerry's show on this channel in its entirety, with the magic show on its way down the hill (give it to brad nelson when evin has had enough) this channel needs something. we've come to expect quality magic content from this channel and this channel IS THE ONLY REASON I BUY FROM YOUR CITE!!! i would buy exclusively from CF if i didn't want to support the show
Evan why don't you just upload this to SCGs youtube channel? If this keeps up I might have to unsubscribe.. again. Its a shame too, you were doing so well with bringing the magic show back to what it was. Only to take it away again.
@mrorangeguy Don't worry for people like this, i suscribed to your channel because i like the content and i understand that i'm not paying you to provide it. i'm the kind of person who is grateful if you take the time to make it, not critize if you can't. Sorry for my bad english, im just a latinamerican magic player who suscribed to your channel in 2008 and i havent regreted it a single day.
@mrorangeguy Why can't he create his own channel instead of freeloading off yours? Springboarding is understandable, but it can't be that hard to just shout-out at the end of TMS episodes "Reminding you to check out GerryTV, this is Evan Erwin, tappin the cards..."
@mrorangeguy Since you guys announced it, you've posted 6 things, only one of which was an actual Magic Show ep. Gerry's not bad, but we subcribe for you, not him.
@98smithg I enjoy the fact that you're not even trying to explain why you think my comments are miserable. It just proves the point that you are ignorant. Hope you have a great day.
I agree with that one comment I like GerryTV but I am not going to pay to watch it though, I now see the complaint. Please bring the magic show back or at least more often. I like GerryTV but it's not worth paying for it.

kingofsoulsfrombm 3 months ago
i think Bonds Of faith is a good pick, but Bump in the night might be better.
There are pretty much NO black or red cards in this pack, so players drafting after you wont be tempted to go black or red.
Also 6 damage to the face in a single card is awesome, and you ARE likely to get more copies (dare to play 5 or 6 ovs?).
Plus, Curse of Pierced Hart will be pickable when it will get back to you.
Thats why i would take the Bump!

Pros have their own groups, where they train their drafting skills and come up with new techniques.

In my opinion, this how should be free, and even then, it's not really helping to anyone.
