Actually, 74 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.599 if I can hat ramble for a moment. Yeah. My 75 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:40.000 grandfather was sort of a a businessman who I inspired 76 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.240 me to sort of start my own business. And he, 77 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.400 you know, he's very old fashioned. You know, he's the 78 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.120 kind of guy who kept a hundred dollars bill in 79 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.400 his shoe at all times because you never know when 80 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.639 you just need a hondo, you know. Yes, But he 81 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.000 told me, you know, when I was about sixteen years old, 82 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.919 We're at like a old family get away for his 83 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.479 eighty fifth birthday in Montana. He said, Kelly, you're going 84 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.879 into business. You need a good hat. Okay, good advice. 85 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.479 So I took the one off his head and put 86 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.000 it on my head. Hey, give him my hat back. 87 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.719 I know, he said I need a good hat. So 88 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.759 I stole yours. And he really didn't want to back, 89 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.319 but my grandmother didn't let him. 90 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.120 He's like, it looks. 91 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.720 So good on him, he looks good on it.

Give him the hat. 93 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.680 So the first business lesson was you need a good hat. 94 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.439 The second one is it's okay to steal. 95 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.279 Well family, you know, a little family theft. So yeah, 96 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.040 so that's and then you know, the hat sort of 97 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.000 became a bit of a bit of a by guiding star, 98 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.040 my symbol of like, you know, being the center of 99 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.600 attention because at the at these shows, at these big 100 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.199 face to face tour events, I'm usually the guy with 101 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.519 the answer.

We have to reveal 186 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.879 them when we draft. There's no strategy because they know 187 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:53.120 what I'm drafting.

Our draft's got Bloodline Keeper. That guy's 193 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.679 gonna win literally best card in the set because it 194 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.519 ships out vampires every turn and it's a limited five 195 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:16.120 flyer or whatever. 196 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:17.120 Yeah, limited bomb. 197 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.240 So he shuffles his pack up, picks his ship, shuffles 198 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.000 his packup, passes it to me and I'm flipping through it. 199 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.120 Bloodline Keeper still in the pack, and I've thought, man, 200 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.799 this guy must be new. This guy's an idiot, And 201 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:35.279 I'm like, fuddy, hey, h literally, this is the best 202 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.039 card in the in the draft, Like, there's nobody that 203 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.919 opened up a better card than this one. You should 204 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.279 probably take this one. He goes, no, I'm okay. I'm like, 205 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.799 all right, this is the best card. It's it's gonna 206 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.639 be good. You should build a black deck. He's like, no, no, no, 207 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.679 that's fine, don't need it. So I picked it. So 208 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.559 I picked it, and I freaking won prizes in that draft. 209 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.200 I don't think I want it, but I want prizes. 210 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.080 And then later I says to him, I says, hey, 211 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.120 why didn't you pick the bloodline vampire? And he goes, 212 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:04.440 Foil Snapcaster. Oh yeah, he's like, yeah, I'm gonna. 213 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.600 I probably opened the same booster pack. Probably like went 214 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.200 through a black hole from him to me. 215 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.879 I think I won like three packs or something in 216 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.320 the draft, and he just traded his Foil Snapcaster and 217 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.120 he got a whole blox. 218 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.960 Oh remember when rares they. 219 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.840 Used to matter?

I just took their deck 294 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.120 and liked card land card. 295 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.360 And I unweaved it and then I just put the stacks. 296 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:05.879 Back together and then cut it a couple of times, 297 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.120 just like they did before they gave it. 298 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.639 Yeah, and I gave it back. 299 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.440 To them and they were like whoa. I was like, 300 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:17.240 that's that's how you shouldn't have showed me. You were cheating. 301 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.360 And then she draws her hand and she looks at 302 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.879 It's fine, I'll keep it. And it was seven land. 303 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.840 It was seven and the rest of the other eleven 304 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.559 land in her deck and then and well man. 305 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.279 And my I was playing want a Red at the 306 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.360 time when Goblin Guide was still a thing, So I 307 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.759 turned one goblin Guide swing. She shows me a land, 308 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:38.320 puts it into her hand, plays a Land, discards a 309 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.240 card on her turn. I played another Goblin Guide, swinging. 310 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.200 With two of them land land into her hand.

She was very upset. 314 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.559 The reason I wanted to tell the story is because 315 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.240 it was about weaving, and I told it wrong.
