Pack 1 pick 1:
My Pick:
It’s harder to make Rhox War Monk fit in a good deck than Agony Warp.
Pack 1 pick 2:
My Pick:
Soul’s Fire is far from great in Grixis… I’d rather take the best card and keep my options opened.

My Pick:
I’d rather like to be playing five-color over Naya but Knight of the Skyward Eye was a good pick.
Pack 1 pick 5:
My Pick:
Tri-lands are fantastic in five-color decks.

My Pick:
I love Cancel in five-color decks. In a deck full of removal that rarely taps out during its turn Cancel is just like another removal spell.

That card is great in five-color and unreal VERSUS five-color; two good reasons to pick it.

ROUND 1: Five-color (limited rating: 1869)
My opponent chose to draw first and I missed land drops from turns 3 to 5. Not much I can do there but my next draws compensated and I won. In game two I chose to draw first as well as his deck seemed to be as slow as mine. A turn 7 Inkwell Leviathan followed by Prophets guaranteed me the win. In the third game I drew first and killed all his guys one by one until I played Vein Drinker for the win (with counter backup).
ROUND 2: Naya (1842)
I only played one spell in game 1 and lost which reminded me that five-color is a double-edged sword: there are great cards but uncertain mana draws. In game 2 a turn 5 Fusion Elemental won the game all by itself. In game 3 I killed all of his guys and play Veined Drinker with two counters as backup and five turns later I advanced to the final.
ROUND 3: I was too exhausted to play and accepted a split.
The deck was pretty good. It is a fine example of what a five-color deck needs to win in draft: decent defense (to help in the few games you’ll lose to bad mana draws) removal and fixers.
Until tomorrow…
