We have lots of blockers... What could possibly go wrong!

We have no worries as long as you just play tight and calmly with no mistakes. And if you don't... well the Brotherhood has ways to deal with failures.

After watching that match I think I was correct about how the draft went for everyone else, and also have gained additional confidence about our chances. Death to all who oppose us!

I thought the person playing the WRB deck was not a very good player. I know that sounds snobbish, but he kept a questionable opening hand in game 2, and made a couple large play errors in both games that cost him.

Whoops. Just realized I gave away a small amount of information by revealing the color of one deck. Please feel free to delete that last comment, Darkness.

Darkness reading it before deleting it will remove the reason for deleting it in the first place. But knowing that there's a W/B/R deck out there is probably not going to change much. We already assumed that one of the people next to us were in those colors.

Eh, not a big deal. I just assume watch out for Debt and such.

Do we really need to worry about Debt? I feel like removal is more what we should be looking out for.
Or the cheeky little surprise that was unveiled in today's match. There's an interesting obstacle in your way. If you end up seeing it, it'll really make you go "huh, that's a card... i guess".
I'm sure you'll find some way to win either way.

I'll be recording and streaming all our matches. No worries

Hmm. That seems to be around 9 am here... maybe I should be awake then.

Match one was a big success. Our deck faltered in game 2, but made up for it by dealing 30 damage in one turn to close out the match.

So, that went well. Good job, Darkness! A bit slow, and a few misplays, but I doubt any of us could have done better in the spur of the moment--particularly those of us who don't really do MTGO!
I'll look forward to future games, because that was silly.

Good team effort. Thanks for chilling with me and giving advice on my stream while I played. Just gotta get out a few more of the hiccups that inherently come with being a MTGO noob. Like I said, I think we play Goody tomorrow, not 100% on that though. I'll let you know.

I would highly recommend playing through some of the noob games in order to get used to the flow of stops and whatnot. Getting comfortable with the interface is crucial to being comfortable in a match.

The match was decided by more awkward pressure than Caley expected, combined with some not-so-tight play decisions. As long as you take your time and read the board state you should be fine.
