Draft 105 - SSS

was really worried about this draft. started of wu but blue kinda dried up quickly. pack 2 went blight, knight, tyrant, cinder so kinda went with that. i picked up a late grasp in case u opened up, but it never really did.


round one i play a fast gr deck. g1 goes juvenile, gloomwidow on his part. i wisp the juvenile and drop duo. he misses a land drop and casts susher, so i steel and bash. g2 looks almost the same. he has drove with shield on it and i have cohort and duo with steel. it's looking a little rough because his drove is like 6/6 or something. i rip a blight and that's about all she wrote.

round two i play a slow ub deck. i see stuff like gatewarden, macabre, wretch, infestation, cinderbones, and ghastlord. g1 i have an early noose and keep tapping stuff down. we ramp up and he drops wretch. i get to drop my ascension before he can make me discard it and end up having to dump steel and a wisp. he didn't have anything and i took him from there. g2 went long and he has out gatewarden, macabre, cinderbones, ripper, ghastlord and infestation. i have some 3/3s, noose, and a gatewarden of my own. i 'forget' to tap ghastlord so i can snare it and i eventually piece together a uw creature and steel.

round three i play a ur deck. g1 is an absolute blowout i have nothing to compete with his watchwings. g2 goes a little long, we both stall for a bit and he eventually gets power of fire on a watchwing. i blight his team and then next turn cinder the pof'd wing. pretty academic after that. g3 i mull to 5 but actually curve out. he drops pof on puresight merrow. he offs my duo and i swing with a hill giant and mist the merrow, so he pings me for two. i keep dropping stuff and he gets out a swarm and is hitting me pretty hard. i snare a newly helmed ub duo of his and things are looking up. i ascension a giant and get in but it's looking bad. he leaves a blocker for it and takes me low, but i rip my wisp ftw.

sideboarding: my opponents were always playing r or b, so i'd sub the second snare in for last breath. snare was definitely my mvp for the draft. then if they were playing black, i'd take out the black wisp for white.
