This draft started off pretty ugly. I couldn’t decide what colors I should be in, since I kept picking a card and then receiving a signal in a different color. Eventually my decision was made for me by the rares I opened. Once the rares told me what colors I should be in, I ended up drafting a pretty good deck.
I won the first round easily against what appeared to be a mono-Green deck. In the first game I played a three-drop, four-drop and five-drop, then removed all of his creatures on turn 6. Game 2 I played Sengir Nosferatu on turn 5 and it did its thing.
Round 2 was against a Red/White/Green deck featuring Fiery Justice and some mediocre creatures. I won the first game with a turn 4 Subterranean Shambler which killed two of his creatures. From there I was able to easily win without needing to play the Sengir Nosferatu or Clockwork Hydra that were in my hand. Game 2 was closer because he drew his Fiery Justice, but he was a bit mana flooded and I was attacking for two each turn with Suq’Ata Lancer, while holding Premature Burial. Eventually he drew Browbeat, which wouldn’t have done anything, but he targeted me, and conceded once he realized what had happened.
I again decided to split the finals.
Until tomorrow,
Rich
