Draft
Very strange draft. After a P1p1 Luminous Bonds, blue was pretty solid
Deck
Learnings
So I made (at least) two mistakes. One was reflexively using Hieromancer’s Cage to exile a lame 2/2 bear rather than the more threatening Marauder’s Axe (which made most of his creatures functionally unblockable). That was careless and making moves without thinking. The other was a little more subtle. Here’s the board state
With Cleansing Nova in hand, my game plan needs a 5th land. So I should CLEARLY bottom these guys, even though a 3/5 (5/5) Gearsmith Guardian is pretty good against this deck. I didn’t have faith in my game plan. Know your game plan. Stick to said plan.
