Channel Reid - Battle for Zendikar Draft #2 (Match 2)

It was a mistake to double block the Rot Shambler instead of the Voracious Null; Null's ability is Sorcery speed so it is not getting any bigger. that allows you to kill the Shambler and not take any damage that turn.

I would have kept the Bladewhirl on top: I like having something I actually am able to play, expecially on turn two, expecially if I'm not missing landdrops for three turns at least and my opponent only has five cards. If the opponent has kept a slow hand a two drop can deal a good amount of damage; if the opponent has kept a fast hand the two drop can trade, and this is favorable for us because we have more cards. I don't like just hoping to draw the right mana source with a hand that can do well without it.

Really interested in the Golgari and Orzhov archetypes in BFZ so really liked this video.

I think I wouldn't have kept mana without spells to cast (last game). Although hindsight always knows better: I know from experience with a midrangey deck that it's generally better to not depend on luck and mulligan to 6 with a slow hand such as that.
