Another draft. I admit I drafted terribly. So many mistakes. See if you can count them all!

  Pack 1 pick 1:



  My Pick:



Ok, I like Blightning. A lot. But clearly Skullmuncher, Naya Charm or Knight of the Skyward Eye or Resounding Thunder would have been better. Thunder would of signaled green was open and Blightning may of found it’s way back.

  Pack 1 pick 2:



  My Pick:



Yeah, and then I went and picked a green bomb.

  Pack 1 pick 3:



  My Pick:



I didn’t know where I was headed, so I picked an early fixer.

  Pack 1 pick 4:



  My Pick:



Another early fixer. Maybe Dragger was the right choice.

  Pack 1 pick 5:



  My Pick:



  Pack 1 pick 6:



  My Pick:



  Pack 1 pick 7:



  My Pick:

  Pack 2 pick 1:



  My Pick:



Okay. I seem to have been lucky with my P2P1 lately. Sarkhan was in my colours and the clear pick of choice.

  Pack 2 pick 2:



  My Pick:



Dear God I’m a fool.

  Pack 2 pick 3:



  My Pick:

  Pack 2 pick 5:



  My Pick:



  Pack 2 pick 6:



  My Pick:



  Pack 2 pick 7:



  My Pick:



Dear God I’m a total fool. I didn’t even run the Grixis Charms. I though I may splash for the blue. In retrospect I probably should have.

  Pack 2 pick 9:



  My Pick:

1 x Savage Lands
A bunch of basics.

Notice what’s missing? Quality removal. Just a bunch of dudes there, waiting to be killed.

Idiota!

Match 1: I played Grixis and played well enough to make it through to the next round, making one kill off a Blightning.

Match 2: I played against an Exalted build, which is where my lack of removal really showed. I got totally owned by Aven Squire + Valiant Guard + Fatestitcher + Angelic Benediction. Even with a Mycoloth, Hellkite and Ember Weaver in play I couldn’t do much against his ability to tap me out.
My lack of removal shone through. Even having a magma spray or extra Blister Beetle may have been enough to take out his flyer, but it was not to be, and I lost it in 2 games.

Perhaps I should of splashed blue and run the Grixis Charms. Maybe that would of made the difference. Ah well, live and learn.
