Draft log
Lost the draft log because apparently I forgot to set up 17lands on my laptop. Regardless, a sort of botched draft (a lot of those lately) with a missed Liliana’s Devotee probably a signal that I should gone black. So I fought a contested RW lane coming up with something low to the ground, but no real power.
Summary
Not a totally embarrassing deck. I went with 15 lands relying on the three single-mana cantrips and a Thrill to smooth out. This deck loses by stalling out, no question. Ended up going 2-1, losing to a very good RU spells in three.
Interesting Moments
Kind of a fun Keep or Mull, since 5 lands is very very much not where this deck wanted to be. But it does have early interaction! I ended up keeping and had a little flood but nothing outrageous. Also drew the Brash Taunter and that card is just nuts.
Benalish Dad 
so it’s been several drafts now. I’m just gonna ask, are you off your game? You keep saying you feel like you’re underperforming and maybe it comes from the reading the table? What’s up?

Yes I unquestionably feel off my game. I think it’s a combination of a few things. First, I took a few months off. Second, M21 is a pretty flat power level set, so it makes finding the lane both more difficult and more important. Finally I switched to Arena which is a VERY slick interface and helps games go twice as fast (packing in more Magic per capita) but setting up stops, end of turn moves and such definitely has a learning curve.
