This draft was a little disappointing. I was pretty happy after the draft. I managed to quickly figure out that Black was completely cut off and White was underdrafted. I made an error during deck construction. I was at 24 cards, and couldn’t figure out what to cut, and didn’t even consider cutting a land, down to 16. I figured out that that was the right thing to do during sideboarding of round 1. Speaking of round 2… that was a complete blowout. In the first game I had a pretty good start, but drew land every turn, and got dominated by my opponent’s mediocre selection of Blue and White slivers, along with a Telekinetic Sliver. In the second game I had a draw involving Ivory Giant and Momentary Blink that would have decimated any non-White deck; unfortunately, my opponent simply played a Quilled Sliver, and a pair of Watcher Slivers, and I was stonewalled while his Duskrider Peregrine and Errant Ephemeron dealt me twenty.
Until tomorrow,
Rich
