This draft was like a dream.

My Pick:



Pack 1 pick 2:


My Pick:



Pack 1 pick 3:


My Pick:

Wanted to pick the 'barbs here, but I already had Volcanic Dragon. Plus, I really like its blue cousin.



Pack 1 pick 4:


My Pick:



Pack 1 pick 5:


My Pick:

Final confirmation that blue is open!

Pack 1 pick 14:

Pack 1 pick 15:

Pack 2 pick 1:


My Pick:

Hard to pass the Looter, but the Dragon is such a house. What an amazing pack.



Pack 2 pick 2:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 3:


My Pick:

Living the dream at this point.



Pack 2 pick 4:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 5:


My Pick:

Another hard pick. If I'd only had one bomb, I would've gone with the Looter, but given that my deck was full of threats, I didn't need the sifting as much. I took the removal to help me get to my bombs. The shock killed several Stormfront Pegasuses, so whether or not this pick was "correct" it turned out like I'd hoped.



Pack 2 pick 6:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 7:


My Pick:

Could've hated the Thirst here.



Pack 2 pick 8:


My Pick:

Hexproof would give me problems.



Pack 2 pick 9:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 10:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 11:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 12:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 13:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 14:


My Pick:



Pack 2 pick 15:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 1:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 2:


My Pick:

Ha.



Pack 3 pick 3:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 4:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 5:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 6:


My Pick:

Probably should've taken the Plummet.



Pack 3 pick 7:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 8:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 9:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 10:


My Pick:

Yeah, all this wheeled.



Pack 3 pick 11:


My Pick:

Probably not right, but I needed a sideboard option for artifacts.



Pack 3 pick 12:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 13:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 14:


My Pick:



Pack 3 pick 15:


My Pick:




Here was my final build. I would side out the Phantasmal Dragons and bring in the extra cancel and a Serpent against blue and white, figuring that there's just too much cheap targeting with those colors; not sure that was right, but I didn't want to lean to heavily on the illusion lord and risk a blowout to a Siren or a Lawkeeper. Against a mono-green opponent, I brought in both Ice Cages for the Unsummon and the Minotaurs.



I went 3–0, not dropping a game. Obviously I opened and was then passed sick stuff. Will post a less spectacular draft next.
