Pack 1 pick 1:
My Pick:
Probably the second best rare in the format after Martial Coup. The draft can’t start any better!
Pack 1 pick 2:
My Pick:
So far so good.
Pack 1 pick 3:
My Pick:
Grixis Charm is a little better but I don’t feel like going for a fourth color yet.
Pack 1 pick 4:
My Pick:
Drumhunter is tempting as well but I don’t have any fatties yet… and removal is removal.
Pack 1 pick 5:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 6:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 7:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 8:
My Pick:
A fantastic card in the right deck even though a Minion Reflector copying Broodmate Dragon and Bloodpyre Elemental was tempting.
Pack 1 pick 9:
My Pick:
Really?
Pack 1 pick 10:
My Pick:
Usually I’ll pick the Elf for the curve but Gift gives me more chance to draw Broodmate Dragon.

Pack 2 pick 1:
My Pick:
A close pick as the Thoctar is tempting but I like duals. Furthermore Shrine can produce White for Resunding Roar.
Pack 2 pick 2:
My Pick:
It’s close between Bull Cerodon and Bones Splinters but the Obelisk is probably coming back making the big guy better.
Pack 2 pick 3:
My Pick:
Probably the best two uncommons in the format. It’s close but I root for Skeletonize.
Pack 2 pick 4:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 5:
My Pick:
So many good cards that it’s hard to decide. I am not sure I made the right call here.
Pack 2 pick 6:
My Pick:
Is that… an early drop?!
Pack 2 pick 7:
My Pick:
I thought Unearth guys would never show up.

Pack 3 pick 1:
My Pick:
One more expensive guy but it’s so good with Corpse Connoisseur.
Pack 3 pick 2:
My Pick:
Usually when two cards in your deck are “Creature: Dragon” you have a pretty good deck!
Pack 3 pick 3:
My Pick:
Leotau is great but the only thing my deck lacks is cheap spells.
Pack 3 pick 4:
My Pick:
Now the deck is stable and Cerodon makes the cut.
Pack 3 pick 5:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 6:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 7:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 8:
My Pick:
It’s crap but it will probably make the cut with Bone Splinters and two Devour guys.

Round 1: Grixis (Limited Rating: 1721)
Game 1 his draws are pretty poor and I win easily. Game 2 looks similar even though his draws are a little better. He was trying to survive with two cards in hand and no creatures while I had two cards in hand with Bull Cerodon and Grixis Slavedriver on the board. Then he has a great idea: play Cruel Ultimatum. On the next turn I put him down to one and am one topdeck away from winning as his new hand gives him just as many guys as me with one pro-White guy to stop my Cerodon. Two turns after I draw a removal spell and I win.
Round 2: Naya (1839)
Turn 6 Broodmate Dragon with a good draw on game 1. Turn 7 Broodmate Dragon with a great draw on game 2.
Round 3: Naya (1728)
I don’t play a land in game 1 and I have to face turn 4 Nacatl Hunt-Pride and turn 5 Spearbreaker Behemoth which doesn’t help.
In the end I had a very good deck and was a little disappointed not to win the final but it’s better to be a little unlucky in the finals and to get four packs than to suffer earlier and get nothing!
Until tomorrow…
