I was really happy with this deck. I felt that I would win the draft fairly easily. And then… Game 1 he played turn 1 Wild Cantor, turn 2 Scab-Clan Mauler, turn 3 Infiltrator’s Magemark, turn 4 Shielding Plax, and then the same thing game 3 with Simic Initiate in place of the Wild Cantor. Riiiiiight…


Until tomorrow,


Rich
