I drafted a delicious (as opposed to tasty) Jund deck tonight: Here's the pool:
Pack 1 pick 1:
My Pick:
Ok, not the worst bomb in the world. The RRR is a little restrictive, but I'm bound to pick up some mana fixers, right. Right?
Pack 1 pick 2:
My Pick:
Bull Ceredon being my second dragon and edging me towards Naya.
Pack 1 pick 3:
My Pick:
In retrospect, not the best pick. But playable if it came to it.
Pack 1 pick 4:
My Pick:
At this point I thought I was heading to Naya so a combat trick seemed okay.
Pack 1 pick 5:
My Pick:
And then I was in Jund. But mana fixers would come along and I'd be right. Right?
Pack 1 pick 6:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 7:
My Pick:
I hear, post Conflux, some people don't like Deathraiders, but I really like them.
Pack 1 pick 8:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 9:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 10:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 11:
My Pick:
Happily taken pick 11...
Pack 1 pick 12:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 13:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 14:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 15:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 1:
My Pick:
Okay, I'm not going to argue with that.
Pack 2 pick 2:
My Pick:
Totally hate drafted. I realise how terrible that is for a P2P2, but I knew I'd have a hard time dealing with it with what little removal I had.
Pack 2 pick 3:
My Pick:
And then the removal started...
Pack 2 pick 4:
My Pick:
Sweet.
Pack 2 pick 5:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 6:

My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 12:

Pack 2 pick 13:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 14:
My Pick:
You take the rare, right?
Pack 2 pick 15:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 1:
My Pick:
At this point I was still searching for removal, so Drag Down seemed ok.
Pack 3 pick 2:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 3:
My Pick:
Oh yes! The Scepter is sweeet and totally in my colours.
Pack 3 pick 4:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 5:
My Pick:
Nice.
Pack 3 pick 6:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 7:
My Pick:
Pack 3 pick 8:
My Pick:
I assume I'll be playing against flyers at some point.

Here's the deck:
1 x Predator Dragon
2 x Carrion Thrash
3 x Goblin Deathraiders
1 x Oblix of Jund
1 x Blightning
2 x Dredgescape Zombie
1 x Broodmate Dragon
1 x Fleshbag Maruader
1 x Vithian Stinger
2 x Blister Beetle
1 x Dragon Fodder
2 x Drag Down
1 x Absorb Vis
1 x Scepter of Fugue
1 x Dark Temper
1 x Mana Cylix
1 x Pestilent Kathari
7 x Mountain
3 x Forest
7 x Swamp
Match 1: Game 1: My opponent is in Grixis. We trade creatures while I Scepter my opponent's hand away for a while. Broodmate turns up and it's all over after that.
Game 2: An absolute nail biter. I have the board locked down with Stinger, but my opponent manages to draw into Blood Tyrant and a critter with Elder Mastery. In the meantime I've put down Broodmate Dragon and a 10/10 Voracious Dragon. My opponent puts a Manaforce Mace (the one I passed) and Talons on the Tyrant. I chump block it to go down to 2, and manage to find a way to get him down to 2... but 2 isn't zero and I concede.
Game 3: I come out all guns blazing. Dragon Fodder into Deathraiders into Oblix of Jund into Broodmate on turn 5. That's hard to keep up with and it's all over.
Match 2: Game 1: My opponent is in Jund as well. My opponent wins the roll but I have a quick start in the first game and it's a fast win with small guys.
Game 2: Necrogenesis comes out and it's a beating for my unearth guys. Plenty of my guys are shallow in the rump and the 1/1s ruin my army. My opponent starts recurring Sedraxis Spectre and Firefield Ogre and it's all over. I have the mana to play Voracious Dragon but hold back so my opponent doesn't know I have it.
Game 3: Thanks goodness for blazing starts. It's a grip of 3/1s and removal. I push fast and I'm rewarded with gutting my opponent before he can get any board position.
Match 3: Game 1: My opponent's playing 5 colour. The first game went for 13 rounds as we traded, but I basically lock the board down with Stinger, Scepter and removal until I can send a dragon in.
Game 2: My opponent gets mana fast and starts wiping my guys out. Necrogenesis makes another appearance and my board can't keep up my ability to unearth dead. My opponent wins after 13 rounds.
Game 3: We both mana ramp, playing nothing but alternate Oblix until Turn 4. We trade for a little. That's when I exploded into Scepter, Voracious Dragon (not devouring anything) and Broodmate. My opponent's necrogenesis can't keep up and I get the concession.
