None of the queues were filling up today… it must be something to do with the many stale formats available to us. So, due to a lack of options, I present you with an RGD 4322. After pack 1 I looked like I was going to have a solid U/w/b deck, when the Veteran Armourer came around late, but then I got some Savage Twisters (!!!) that changed my direction. From there I was pretty much drafting a Blue based control deck with lots of splashes. The Ghost Warden I took after the Savage Twisters was a misclick. I meant to take Repeal there. I had a scare in the second round when I got decked in the second game because the five creatures I needed to win with were the bottom five cards of my library. Then in the third game I was missing Blue for a long time, but was able to hold him off with Savage Twisters until I could find it. I won the third round with relative ease thanks to some mana troubles on the part of my opponent.
Until Monday,
Rich
