Losing this draft was pretty frustrating. I felt that my deck was excellent. I had a good curve, a solid manabase, good removal, and one of the best cards in the format.
Things started off well. I had a pretty good draw, and my opponent played some Thallids. Eventually I Fiery Justiced away his team, and attacked a couple times, not wanting to show the Stormbind in my hand. Game 2 I kept a hand with two Mountains, a Plains, Blood Knight, Prodigal Pyromancer, Goblin Skycutter, and Fiery Justice. From there I proceeded to draw five Green cards before I drew a Forest. If I had drawn the Forest a turn earlier I would have won, but it was too late as he was able to get two attacks in with Jedit before I could deal with him. Game 3 I mulliganed a no-land hand into a one-land Chromatic Star hand, and didn’t draw another land until turn 5. Ah, Magic…
Until Monday,
Rich
