p1: i can has 2 plz?
p2: made note of the cloudcrown, but ending is great and is on color with p1.
p3: ugh! i could grab douser for ub faeries/merfolk, of which i've seen little, or grab cloudcrown of whose tribe i've passed two good cards.
p4: this is an unappetizing pack, but bearlings are ok.
p5: another douser :(. i grab the changeling and think about how i haven't seen any handservants yet.
p6: solid card for my deck instead of an awesome card for my might've been deck.
p7: blue is looking pretty underdrafted to me.
p16: this pack makes me feel horrible. drowner, summon, judge, aethersnipe, and oring :(.
p17: yay, removal.
p20: that's what i like to see.
p22: considered daggerdare, but he's common.
p23: not enough changeling for the dream, i'm afraid. what's with the blue?
p25: nice.
p31: probably should've left it go for daggerdare.
p32: another really nice pack for someone other than me (not that i'm complaining, pilferers rock).
p36 & 37: GIFTS!
p38: this was tough, not sure if another branchbender would've been right. given my last two picks, probably.
p39: finally.

i'm pretty happy with the way this draft went.

round one i played a nice looking rw giants deck. g1 he leads with skirmisher and i respond with fertile ground. he drops stinkdrinker and i ending it. he has no land and drops blind spot; i follow up with daggerdare. he misses land drop again, and plays avian, swinging with skirmisher and blind spot. i ambush into fistful vs his plains, blocking both to kill them. i then drop cloudcrown and he responds with balloonists. i bash for 5 and play another cloudcrown. he heros his avian. i swing with a single cloudcrown and drop a huntmaster. he drops a wizened and swings with hero. i block with cloudcrown and fistful to save, revealing shriekmaw to his oaf. i shriekmaw wizened and swing with a cloudcrown and huntmaster with daggerdare backup. he takes and then orings my daggerdare. i serve with both cloudcrowns and maw. he double-blocks, i kill balloonists, and follow up with a woodland. he draws and that's game. g2 he plays first again but stalls on two mountains. i go extract into huntmaster while he drops a stranded blind spot. i drop a branchbender and he crushes it. i follow up with a daggerdare. he finally gets a plains and i ambush in response to oring. i swing my 4 1/1s in and fistful for the concession.

round two i almost lose g1 due to timing out cause i had to walk the dogs :(. he drops gilder and bog strider. i drop extract and kill the gilder then follow up next turn with a huntmaster. he drops timber protector. i harbinger for ending and then he strangles my huntmaster. i chump the strider and ending the protector. he drops thorntooth and i drop elite. he casts black poplar to off the elite. i have pilferers for harbinger, but it's way too late. g2 i have like 9 mins left. he leads off with harbinger for forest. i drop daggerdare. he follows with gilder then loggers. i drop ambush eot and swing, then dropping changeling. he drops dourbark and i follow with fertile ground into evoked shriekmaw on it. i swing with tokens and fistful. it reveals a land which i need and a timber protector for him. we both stack on top. he drops protector and i pilferers for shriekmaw. i chump protector with a token and then shriekmaw it and swing. he lignifies my maw when he's at 3. next turn i spring cleaning for the win. g3 i'm down to 5 mins. he leads with gilder, and i evoke maw to kill it. he drops poplar shaman and archers, and i drop huntmaster. he lignifies it and is stuck on 3 land. i drop battlewand and another huntmaster. he eot ambushes and drops a bog strider. i spring cleaning the lignify - i top woodland, he bottoms another poplar - and then i waste most of a minute thinking when i can't afford to. i decide to ending the poplar shaman while he's tapped out. he then drops a cloudcrown. he's at 20, i'm at 18 and have 1:50 left. i drop my third huntmaster and start to amass tokens hoping i can get my branchbender on line soon (i've been trying to maximize mana). he drops another bog strider. i swing with a big battlewand and he chumps. i then drop woodland. he follows up with pilferers and starts gaining life. i don't have any fistfuls, so it's looking dim. i play branchbender. he strangles a huntmaster revealing protector. i draw and drop another woodland and swing with a huge forest and he chumps. i pilferers for shriekmaw, but it's way too late for me and i end up timing out.
