Twas the night before the night before Christmas and with the Benalish Momma & MIL off to a choral show, clearly someone had to stay home to make sure the house didn’t burn down with our child inside. Obviously the next step is to invite over Chris and Dan and co-pilot a draft. It’s just common sense.

Draft log

Summary

15 land hyper aggro deck without a single 4-drop (I never cast Circle for more than 3). Had some awkward draws but also some unstoppable ones too. Unfortunately I ended up going 1-2, losing to a glorious 14 point stall-breaking Fling (they had that stupid giant) and some other good ones. At one point I was using Circle of Loyalty to pump out 4/4 Vigilance knights, that was pretty fun.

Interesting Moments

Here’s a fun “keep or mull”. On the draw, I already mulled once, and opponent is a known aggressive red/black deck. I ended up keeping this and here’s my reasoning. Resources in the aggro vs. aggro matchup are going to be key. This was a risky keep, but I couldn’t see myself going down two cards and winning, so I leaned on the rummage from Haggle and… got there! Close victory, but a good one.
