I am not so sure how “cool” this is — as was promised by Matt Wang in a previous post — but I did manage to wrangle Limited Information author and Top8Magician Steve Sadin to do a draft walkthrough with me just before Christmas. Steve and I did a couple of these way back when and they were always fun.  I remember a podcasting session where we forced blue-red Storm in Time Spiral block. Using the fancy-pants technology of RareDraft.com we were able to visually record all the draft picks and you can hear our discussion about the picks in the first installment. We also talk about how the draft played out in the second installment.

I have been drafting a lot of MonoWhite or nearly MonoWhite in triple Zendikar and this draft played out pretty much according to that plan. Here is the draft:

Here is where we discuss the draft in two parts:

Happy New Year Top8Magic Fans,

BDM, Mike and I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year! We have many exciting plans for this upcoming year and we want to thank you all for your support.

BDM will be posting a cool draft walk through with a podcast that he recorded right before Christmas with Steve Sadin.

We are also recording a podcast with The Zvi to discuss My Files Part 1 and we hope to have a preview of My Files Part 2 out this week.

We also want to thank all of you who picked up a copy of My Files Part 1 and wanted to know what you thought of it. We have not seen any reviews yet, so please send them over or post your thoughts here.

Best,

Matt Wang
