I don’t play Blue and look what happens… a disaster. I was too indecisive in this draft, and let my distaste for Black have too much influence on the draft. I won a pretty close round 1 against someone who threw away about three cards per game, but the games were still close because my deck was so bad. Next round I lost a very frustrating match to a Green/White deck splashing Grave Pact. We played two long games, and one manascrew (of mine, of course) and I saw one other Black card from him. I expected to lose with this deck, but not like that.
Until tomorrow,
Rich
