Here’s the deck:

2 Brackwater Elemental
3 Plains
1 Kederekt Leviathan
1 Manaforce Mace
1 Courier's Capsule
1 Seaside Citadel
1 Esperzoa
1 Frontline Sage
6 Swamp
1 Windwright Mage
2 Tidehollow Strix
1 Parasitic Strix
2 Agony Warp
1 Cloudheath Drake
1 Faerie Mechanist
1 Skeletal Kathari
1 Kathari Screecher
1 Inkwell Leviathan
1 Oblivion Ring
1 Obelisk of Alara
7 Island
1 Salvage Titan
1 Executioner's Capsule
1 Armillary Sphere

Match 1: Game 1: He’s playing Bant with some Esper flyers. He nails me fairly quickly in Game 1 when he lays a turn 3 Pancake Flipper and some exalted dudes and I can make no profitable trades.
Game 2: We trade for a bit. He makes a great play using unsummon to save one of his critters from Agony Warp, but eventually I take over the board with Inkwell Leviathan and Kederekt Leviathan.
Game 3: He comes out swinging. He uses Fatestitcher to great effect. I don’t even get a chance to play much that doesn’t either die quick or get turned on it’s side.

Although I didn’t win the game, I think I drafted pretty well. I had a good amount of playable cards, some obvious bombs, and an excellent set of removal. However, sometimes you just don’t get there.

Tomorrow’s another day.
