Draft

So my first draft felt rough. Thought the last Frilled Mystic was a strong signal, but I should have kept myself more open to the red in pack 2.

Results

Game 1: pretty easy win against a very slooooooow player. Almost enough to make me switch to Arena. Had a bad keep in the first game but easily stabilized and ground down a bad Gruul deck.

Game 2: faced against a similar Temur deck. I won the first game on pressure, then oppo had a SWEET moment using the Galloping Lizrog to make a bunch of +1 counters then the red guy with the falter effect up to the number of counters. That was an alpha strike. Then he manascrewed, which was a shame.

Game 3: faced a MUCH better temur deck and promptly lost. As I should have

Learnings

Very strange draft. I felt like I locked into Simic a little too early on the P1p6 Frilled Mystic, and should have been WAY more open to the red in packs 2 & 3. Really hurt letting that P3p1 Electrodominance go by and the late Clan Mages. Gameplay-wise, given the hilarious lag between the draft and being able to play the games, I felt like I didn’t have much. Don’t forget about the +1/+1 and untap trick. (First of seven times I’ll need to remind myself of this btw)
