Okay, we have got to start dragging the win rate up here people. This doesn’t feel like THAT hard of a format but I have been eating turf four drafts in a row. And three of them struck out 0-2 only for me to play a third round for literally no reason other than pride. It was very Greek.

Draft log

Here’s P1p1:

P1p1: Pretty easy Liliana’s Devotee. Only to get immediately pushed off black.
P1p3 cultivate over Opt. Allows splashing
P1p4: Shrine. Shrine deck? Multi-color stuff?

It started to hurt seeing all those Alpine Houndmasters go by. BUT SHRINE AWESOMENESS WILL NOT BE DENIED. Plus another 0-2 is really just a rounding error at this point. Unfortuantely, looking at my draft pile

Summary

Sadly, after all that work and alllllmost putting the shrine deck together, I go for the EV and build a very by-the-numbers RG big stuff. I led off against UR spells, though it didn’t seem very good. No doubt that the Drowsing Tyrannodon is the MVP. faced triple Conclave mentor but I powered through that with some pretty fun games. Then I went 2-0/2-0 in the final two rounds. My first trophy! And not a shrine to be seen…

Interesting Moments

I am on draw. Though I was not impressed with oppo’s deck speed and having the best removal in the format was a very comforting feeling. I kept, figuring any land turned this into a two-removal hand. I ended up immediately drawing a forest and putting a lot of pressure on. They landed Ugin, I responded with Soul Sear and that was that.
