This notable tension made it difficult to thoroughly enjoy for me (as a result of empathizing with the commentators). I didn’t find Kathleen annoying at all, I just got the impression that she didn’t feel comfortable with her role, especially in the beginning.
I think it’s great that LRR mixes things up, both in topic as well as in formation. Still went on to win match and draft but there was a stain on it :). I was very amazed ajani went into graveyard… then hit me with the trample he only needed ONE damage to kill my 2/2. He attacks with all and i block the 3/1 with a 2/2, thinking ajani will survive and i can boost my other creature out of range next turn (was 3/3). On a side not, just came back from 3 week vacation in Spain, missed whole m13 release, did first 8-4 draft without knowing cards very well and made a horrible error I’d like to share : I got the ajani planeswalker, at 6 points, oponent has 4/4 (packleader) and 3/1 with trample and deathtouch. I would like to see a milldeck with the possible 5/5 1cc flyer or a five colordeck with a door to nothingness, you can go for that if you get a door early (like 8 chances every draft). She would fit better in a Marshall-video :). I won’t generalize about women but Kathleen didn’t bring humour to the table after picking o-rings it was allready obvious this was a good deck and not a fun one that said, I don’t think i would be able to do the crazy stuff too unless someone else pays for it :p ! Note, I consider the thoughts of Kathleen to be to the point and reasonable, just not experimental or open-minded. Bit painful it was your oponent in match 1 who had the funny deck !
