Draft

Draft Details

This was an interesting draft in a slightly different way. P1p1 Sarkhan’s Unsealing with a P1p4 Colossal Majesty pretty quickly cemented me into RG “ferocious”, especially once I got the P1p6 second Colossal Majesty! I get four 5+ power creatures in the first pack and I’m feeling pretty smug.

That feeling rapidly dissipates. While I eke out a P2p3 Shock, there is a whole lot of nuthin’. I think the first pack made me take for granted how easily I could get triggering creatures. In P2p9 I take a dual-land over Siegebreaker Giant, and P3p3 I take a druid of the cowl over a second Volcanic Dragon.

Deck

That’s… a lot of Sparktongue Dragons. Which is a good card, don’t get me wrong, but it clearly says “3 power” not “4 power”. I have 7 triggering creatures… which is a little light. It turns out the ramp isn’t that helpful (though getting to 8 mana to start turning my Sparktongues into 2-for-1s was helpful) in this deck. Hopefully you’re stable enough to slip in one of your enchantments and then start either drawing cards or burying them in resources.

It played out pretty entertainingly. I had a great R1g3 that came down to the final turn before I decked myself with double Colossal Majesty. I made a mistake putting my Talons on a 4/4 so it could attack past their Horizon Scholar… not realizing that I would have been better off making my Sparktongue Dragon a 4/4 to trade. The other two rounds were very straightforward.
