my god this was glorious

Man, I loved Graham's reaction when I posted the link to this as a standard deck on Twitch.

Also, how did you possibly go 3-0 with that? xD

More interesting:
How did the other players get where they were? Green basically had its base cut out, nonetheless, after the first match both others were against a combination of blue/green. There was at least a decent black and a decent red deck going around, but apparently nobody drafted them.

But while your opponents problably didn't have a great time, it was extremly entertaining to watch.

[iamafish]

this is probably one of my favourite of these. Brilliant to watch a monogreen deck trample all over everyone!

That badger really don't give a sh*t, does it?

[Nightmist]

I registered for the forums just to comment on this.

That was glorious!

BTW. I twice drafted mono colour in Triple Theros drafts and both times I went 3-0. Once with blue and once with green. Mono colour works.

[ElFuzzy]

This is easily my favorite draft since the mono 2 drops in gatecrash. Well done Graham, I didn't agree with the one land keep but it all worked out in the end!

[Narcuru]

Yeah That was probably the best "breaking the format" you guys have done. Better than GTC BearForceOne imo. The only reason you lost the one game you did was you got blinded by a very sketchy keep. Loved every second of those rounds.

Graham, it is unfortunate that there are no mushrooms in born of the gods. Allow me to give you my version of the badger song, in magic cards.

I think you just drafted a new Deck-Type Mono-Badger obviously works.

Hey Graham,

I'm guessing you probably are required to have that voice-over at the beginning of your videos, but it's sometimes pretty annoying. Is there a way you can do it differently, maybe have a text/pic instead, or say it yourself? At worst, turning the volume down a bit would help. Thx a bunch =)

love the drafts by the way

[Voidhawk42]

That was hilarious! Nearly as brutal as the Gatecrash Mono-Two-Drops.

In tribute of your success, I made this:

Which, the ad? Or the "you are a wacky draft"?

[isom4498]

Graham, that was the best!!! I laughed so hard and nearly fell out of my seat. Long live the Charging Badger!! Great job.

BTW, love the wacky drafts and the regular ones. You all do a great job...keep it up!!!

[DelphiSantano]

That was brilliant. The badger being the one to deliver lethal damage every time made it even better.

Also, you've inadvertently found me an avatar I'm actually happy with

[Clypheous]

This was awesome, the ad they had at the end of round three was awesome, the way you played each game to make sure that the Badger got there for you...

Oh man, this was epic.

[Duckay]

Mono-green in triple BNG is pretty sweet, and adding that to the power of the badger just wrecks faces. I am impressed, but not entirely surprised.

[A-Z]

Great Draft.

Very impressive:)

[Oberon]

And I thought My Mindreaver Mill strategy was wacky.

[LokiTheLiar]

I wish I could see Graham's opponents' faces. At the beginning they were probably like
