Pick 2: All the cards rank close to me, Although the only Blue card (Merrow
Harbinger) is a little below the other options (Huntmaster, Incremental
Growth, Tar Pitcher, and Peppersmoke). I don’t think picking a Green card here
would be correct, so it was between Peppersmoke and Merrow Harbinger.
Pick 3: When reviewing the Draft, I thought the pick should’ve been Neck
Snap.
Pick 7: Black was not coming, so I took this late Green card to see where this was
going.
Pick 8: I was still in position for Merfolk where Judge would be really good: I
had Aquitects and Benthicore as ways to get Merfolks tapped, plus the Turtle
was also a Merfolk.
Pick 9: There was no way I would get another Black playable from this set of
Boosters, so I was going to be either Blue/Green or Blue/White and this pick
would be a push me in one of those directions. I figured Daggerdare was good
in aggro Blue/Green tempo decks, while Surge of Thoughtweft wasn’t that good
in Blue/White unless you had Summon the School.
Round 1 I played against Red/Black Goblins/Elementals.
Game 1 I mulliganed to five on the play, kept a hand with two Island, two
Blue cards, and Masked Admirers, since I didn’t want to go to four. I had a passable
draw to stay in the game. I managed to play a cheap Silvergill Adept,
and took two creatures down with Gilt-Leaf Ambush, but eventually the gas ran
out as I got stuck with both the Masked Admirers and the Cloudcrown Oak in
my hand with 5 Island and 1 Forest in play.
The game took more than 20 minutes, as both our clocks were below 20 mins when it finished. The game was
long, and I was always behind, but I felt I kept drawing ways to stay in contention. It was one of those
games you know you’ll never win, but even so it’s never bad enough for you to concede outright.
Game 2 was much better since it only took me 4 minutes. He played
Stinkdrinker Daredevil, turn 4 Thundercloud Shaman killing my two
creatures, and then Smokebraider, Ceaseless Searblades, and Inner-Flame
Igniter.
See you tomorrow!
