Pick 1: The three best cards in the pack are all Elves, and the next best is
far below the best one. I’ve been accused of forcing Elves too much, but I
don’t think one should be picking Consuming Bonfire or Stonybrook Angler
over Nath of the Gilt-Leaf.
Pick 2: If this was Pick 1, with no other picks as an influence, I would’ve picked
Cloudgoat Ranger since it’s more powerful than the commons we have here.
This was me not being too confident, not holding onto Green/Black much because of Nath, so I did not pick Warren PIlferers. I took
the best card – Cloudgoat Ranger – to see where the draft was heading.
Pick 3: Go White with Wizened Cenn, or Elvish Harbinger? I like Harbinger better
because it allows me to go Green/White splash Nath, beyond the
obvious Green/Black route.
Pick 6 and Pick 9 showed me I was in a great position, and the second booster
confirmed this even further.
I lost my Internet connection momentarily so I missed Pick 31. I did not see
which cards were available. I goofgrabbed a random Nectar Faerie.
Round 1 I played versus Kithkin.
Game 1 I won the die roll. He played a Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile, and
conceded the turn after. I made turn 2 Leaf-Glider, turn 5 Jagged Scar
Archers, turn 4 Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, turn 5 Incremental Growth.
Game 2 he won in the air. He had Broken Ambitions for my Leaf Glider, then
Avian Changeling, Thoughtweft Trio, Plover Knights, and Sentinels of Glen
Elendra. I had Nath and I was holding Briarhorn, so the Trio was controlled,
but not the fliers.
Game 3 I won attacking twice with a Forest mutated by Elvish Branchbender,
and both times he was 11/11, thanks to Lys Alana Huntmaster and Nath of the Gilt-Leaf.
I did make one mistake… I should’ve started attacking one turn earlier with the
big forest, as I could always chump-block Thoughtweft Trio with one of my
tokens. One time he chumpblocked. The other time it went through and took
half of his life. By now he was down to zero cards in hand thanks to Nath, so
I made end of turn Gilt-Leaf Ambush. He left Surge of Thoughtweft on top. I
used Gilt-Leaf Seer and put something bigger on top to win the clash, so that
Fistful of Force would give trample to the 12/12 Forest he chumpblocked.
Round 2 I played against Blue/White.
Game 1 I got a Jagged-Scar Archers which killed his Pestermite and Avian
Changeling. Meanwhile, he had a very large Veteran of the Depths, but
Archers took care of it too, because I played Gilt-Leaf Ambush during attack
phase to make it big enough to block and kill it, and my opponent conceded having lost
too many of his creatures.
Game 2 he evoked Mulldrifter on turn 4 looking for a land. He didn’t
miss a land drop in the next turns, but only found a Plains on turn 6. I
had Lys Alana Huntmaster in play plus some more Elves, and I was holding
Oblivion Ring and Incremental Growth and Epic Proportions, so I figured I
should be winning this one. I played Nath’s Elite, and he tapped out to play two
guys. I attacked, he triple blocked, I played Epic Proportions, and he
conceded.
See you tomorrow!
