Hello again!

I want to start by thanking for the comments and support after I posted my last videos. Hopefully you guys will like these new ones as much.

One thing I regretted from last week was not giving my article a proper title - you know, having worked now six plus years in the advertising industry, I somehow don't think "Draft Video" cuts it. As a result, my love of silly puns and rhyming phrases made me come up with "Rick's Picks", and I never looked back. That does pose a problem for when I want to post, say, a Standard video... but let's follow the philosophy of our color pair for today's draft and not think long term here, shall we?

Starting this draft, I was determined to try and cover a different archetype from last week's UW tokens. Luckily for me, I ended up opening some good black and red cards early. After some doubt on whether I should be control or aggro, I ended up with a pretty good stack of early plays and late-game bombs. You can check out the results below.
