Channel LSV: Zendikar Draft #5 - Drafting Zendikar (Part 2 of 2)

[Nezuumi]

Someone gets a nice black deck there :D

[Krimzj]

I really wish I was in black this draft. nighthawk, 2x disfigures, 2x hideous, gul-draz., kalitas

[UnholyBurgerr]

you just had to add the nowhere joke didn't you?!

[Spectator21]

I'm surprised you hated the Blood Seeker over an Explorer's Scope. With Obsidian Fireheart, Molten Ravager and Spire Barrage you might have ended up playing it.

These videos are very helpful and you do a great job :D

I agree with the poster below, though. I think a link at the end of each video would really help navigating the channel.

Keep up the good work!

i love these videos but having a link to the next video at the end would be so so so helpful

[PonderousAnomaly]

why not playing the crossroads instead of one of those plains?

[cruciald]

the deck really wants to curve out if possible, so a CIPT land isn't that great.

[aaaaaaaaooooooo]

I thought Zektar Shrine and Molten Ravagers are better. They're damage sources that don't get stopped very often. Also, I think Zektars get better with multiples.

I also thought a 3rd Boar was better than another Shortcutter, despite curve issues. Especially when other people aren't playing Red. It could replace a Shatterskull if necessary.

I feel that the key to aggro is unstoppable, continous damage, even if the curve isn't extremely low.

The shrine is a horrible top deck in this particular deck. The ravagers also take up a lot of mana that he'll be needing to pay for all those 4 drops. At the time he took the shortcutter over the boar he had practically no 2 drops so that pick speaks for itself. This is a very fast format and games will end quickly if you rely too much on higher drops and don't set up in the early turns.

I thought you always tried to play 17 land in draft (with card selection ranging it up or down 1 of course). Now your saying you always try to play 18? :/ Is that just for zendikar or have you changed your mind about the right land count for draft?

[PhantasyHero22]

It's mostly for Zendikar, you want to have 18 lands for most decks to ensure you keep hitting your landfall triggers.

[xFraseRxRx]

Just for Zendikar, with all the landfall in the set, you want to hit land drops to activate the geopede and the shrine...

[jgioeli0]

Depends on your landfall triggers...drawing a land in certain situations can be more beneficial late game if it creates lots of effects.

your puns... lol
