Pick 5: I took Bog-Strider Ash, since none of the cards in the pack are exciting. Green
is still underdrafted most of the time, and I give myself the option to go
Green/Black Treefolk, an archetype where you can get many late commons like
Battlewand Oak, Black Popler Shaman, and Bog-Strider Ash.
Pick 16: I ended the first booster in Black/Green, going for Treefolk if I saw
any good ones (or multiples of the commons late). Here, my pick would’ve been
Marsh Flitter, but I feel it’s worth picking a card with a value close to 10 tix,
as the prizes for winning are (usually) 6 packs. It’s the same as being in the Top 8 draft of a
Kuala Lumpur PTQ and drafting a Mox Pearl.
Pick 19: So far, I haven’t seen any really good Green cards from either direction.
There are some going around, but they’re not very exciting. I’d already taken a
Silvergill Douser (my previous pick), and they shouldn’t go so late. There’s also nothing very
exciting here, so it’s a mix of counter drafting and jumping into Blue if
it keeps coming.
Picks 21 and 22: No good Green or Black cards, two good Blue cards, I went for
it.
Pick 23: Since my last three picks were Merfolk, I am considering splashing the
Summon the School… and so I picked another Merfolk.
Pick 32: For Pick 1 I took Dreamspoiler Witches over Sentinels of Glen Elendra. The
Witches is a better card, but here I’m seeing that I don’t have many instant or
flash creatures, so I feel Sentinels is a better pick for my deck.
Pick 33: Everything’s pretty bad except Imperious Perfect and Wanderwine Hub. I
love the Perfect, but I only have three Green cards and they’re not that good. The land allows me to splash Summon the School more easily.
I lost Round 1 to a Black/White Goblins deck. Game 1 I got a a five-for-two with Final Revels. He was holding just two cards, but he recovered
better after the Revels than me, even though I was playing the game knowing
that I had a Revels (and knowing when I was going to cast it) . Game 2 I lost because
I misclicked. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have lost anyway without doing this,
but at least I wouldn’t have lost that turn.
He had Kinsbaile Balloonist suited with Triclopean Sight, Kithkin Healer, Knight of Meadowgrain, Warren Pilferers, and Quill-Slinger Boggart. I had between 10 and
20 Merfolk tokens, many ground creatures, and Thieving Sprite plus Marsh
Flitter. He attacked me with the Baloonist and another creature. I planned on blocking the Balloonist with the Marsh Flitter, then pump it to a 3/3,
and then play Peppersmoke on the Balloonist to kill it. Without the Balloonist, he
couldn’t win this game on the ground. Problem was, I had so many creatures in
play that the cards were very tiny, so I accidentally blocked with Thieving
Sprite. I did not kill the Balloonist, and next turn I was at three life,
so I had to chump the Balloonist with the Flitter and play Peppersmoke on the
flying Warren Pilferers just to stay alive at one life. After that, I did
not topdeck removal for the Balloonist, and died.
See you tomorrow!
