When we hurt another, we hurt ourselves, for we are both of the one...Oh stuff this, just Draft Black/Red and smash face all day, and be The One - the Champion of the largest Grand Prix in Magic history. There's not much time for contemplation in Zendikar Draft - games go like greased lightning, and in our first show of Day Two we go inside the Draft on Table One, before heading for feature match action.

In the spirit therefore of the great British broadcasters of the past, we're delighted to offer you a window into the 1930's, as we show you what a top table match might have sounded like between the star of the show Luis Scott-Vargas and the leading British contender Matteo Orsini-Jones.

Everyone was looking for a bargain basement price for a top-quality product on Wednesday, and now the players got to unwrap the goodies and see how much bang they got for their buck. At one end, Kenji Tsumura, bidding 5 cards and 19 life to get the auction started, in order to get his hands on the Mizzium Transreliquat/Time Vault combo deck.
