The first pick of this draft was an interesting one, because there was nothing really overpowering. Szadek is quite a commitment with a first pick, not to mention the rest of the good cards in the pack being Blue, Black (the land), or both. I thought my deck was quite good, but I ended up losing round 1 to The Ben Seck. I thought I had the first game locked up until he killed me from 14 with a Wildsize and Psychotic Fury on his Streetbreaker Wurm, and then I had mana troubles in the second game.
Until tomorrow,
Rich
