I anticipated that seekers would be on the agenda for the other GMs at this point too so I knew I needed to get in there now before some of the better options disappeared. As was discussed in the draft coverage, seeker wasn't a straightforward selection to make as there have been numerous talented seekers throughout history but very few who have consistently caught snitches to win games acros
