For the first time ever I started off a set with a 3-0 draft! I think the memo about how powerful black was hadn’t yet gotten around, so I had double Gorgon, Gary, and just a plate full of removal. It was fun. It.. it hasn’t been as smooth since.

Draft log

Summary

Felt like a tricky draft to navigate. I seized on the Mire Triton in P1p4 as a soft signal to veer towards black, then teased by white (Daxos, P1p10 hero of the Pride) only for that to dry up. I was able to wheel the BR gold Slaughter-Priest in pack 2, so I think my lane was correct. Just didn’t end up with high card quality.

Interesting Moments

What to cut?

Some tough cuts. Initially I was going to cut the Agonizing Remorse but was talked out of it. Eventually dropped Aspect of Lamprey, a Nyxborn Marauder, Libation, and a Storm’s Wrath (for mana considerations).
