1 Sunrise Sovereign
I started the draft with a big White dragon and then I tried to stay in
color, which was easy since I got passed good White cards. I finished the
first booster set on White, still without a second color, but it seemed that
the person to my right was Black and certainly not White or Green.
The first pick of the second booster had no really good White card. In the
other colors were either weak cards or stuff requiring specific mana or
tribe, like Elves, or double Blue or double Red. I picked Hillcomber Giant, a
Giant for the Greathart and a good sideboard card.
Picking Stinkdrinker Daredevil was wrong, and it should have been Moonglove
Extract. I should’ve known I wouldn’t be playing many Giants. In the end I
dismissed the Sunrise Sovereign and the random giants I was picking whenever
I had the chance, as it seemed to me better to focus on the Kithkin theme.
I won Round 1 against a White/Red Elementals deck playing Aethersnipe and
Mulldrifter out of Smokebraiders. Game 1 he got two Smokebraiders that
accelerated him into an early Consuming Bonfire, but the rest of his draw
was quite unspectacular: lands and small creatures, no Elementals. Game 2
we got a three turn break where nothing happened, except my Goldmeadow
Harrier tapping his 2/2. He did not make his fifth land drop, and I was mana
flooded. After we both recovered, I had Kithkin Greathart and Avian
Changeling. I attacked with both into his 2/2, he used Moonglove Extract on
the Changeling but I had Triclopean Sight to save it. This hit for 6 damage
lowered his life to the point where Hillcomber Giant was a threat too big
and fast. I drew two, as I had sided the second in.
Round 2 my opponent mulliganed to five on the play. He still got a five for
three with Final Revels, balancing the card parity, but after that I had
Avian Changeling. He sat at ten life whle he drew too many lands,
and his chances of racing me were slim as I was at twenty.
Game 2 he got turn 2 Woodland Changeling, turn 3 Mirror Entity, turn
4 Wren’s Run Vanquisher and Woodland Changeling. Next turn, I needed to
start chumpblocking.
Game 3 my fliers with Militia’s Pride were racing his Wren’s Run
Packmaster and wolves. In my head I won the game, but I misclicked and lost
because of that. I attacked with Plover Knights, Kinsbaile Balloonist,
Goldmeadow Harrier, and a Kithkin token. I paid three mana to make three more
Kithkin tokens. He had six mana available, enough for two Wolves. He made the Wolves, and all I had to do was play Triclopean Sight on Goldmeadow
Harrier, untap it and use his ability to tap a Wolf. He was all tapped, and
it would’ve been exactly lethal damage. I clicked OK once too often, and he
blocked. So I lost game 3, and the match, because of a misclick. That doesn’t feel
good at all.
See you next week!
