Wait, I said something about actually using this thing, right? *sigh* Better live up to it. Anyways, got back from the Worldwake gameday draft a few hours ago, so let's try to do this while my memory's somewhat clear.

Small pool of players today; just enough to fill a table (8).

Pick Order:

--- Pack 1 - Zendikar ---

Goblin Guide

Oracle of Mul Daya

Plated Geopede

Ruinous Minotaur

Shatterskull Giant

Shatterskull Giant

Windrider Eel

Geyser Glider

Trailblazer's Boots

Woensdag 10 febr extra draft. Wie doet er mee?

------ ZEN ------

Pack 1 pick 1:

    Caravan Hurda

    Desecrated Earth

    Forest

    Turntimber Grove

    Kor Aeronaut

    Tuktuk Grunts

    Ior Ruin Expedition

    Narrow Escape

    Oran-Rief Survivalist

    Crypt Ripper

--> Trusty Machete

    Lavaball Trap

    Goblin Shortcutter

    Caller of Gales

    Feast of Blood 

Fortunately, we start out with a pretty easy pick here. Trusty Machete is one the bets uncommon in the format, and there isn’t anything that is even close to it in the pack. Kor Aeronaut is definitely the next best card, so we are probably sending a white signal here. I doubt anything tables from this pack, so we won’t really worry about that. But Trusty Machete allows us to stay flexible, so off we go. 

Pack 1 pick 2:

------ ZEN ------

Pack 1 pick 1:

    Makindi Shieldmate

    Goblin Bushwhacker

    Forest

    Goblin Shortcutter

    Soaring Seacliff

    Expedition Map

    Kazandu Refuge

    Ondu Cleric

--> Vampire Nighthawk

    Needlebite Trap

    Torch Slinger

    Spreading Seas

    Crypt Ripper

    Arid Mesa

    Lethargy Trap 

Vampire Nighthawk is easily the pick here, but I have to remind myself to be open to switching out of black, simply because so many people are drafting black right now. It is just hard to get a decent black deck together. But, Vampire Nighthawk is a bomb, and it is definitely one of the best cards in the set. The other cards worth looking at are Goblin Short Cutter, Torch Slinger, Arid Mesa, and Crypt Ripper. In a pack as bad as this

Today we tried the 4-pack group game draft mentioned recently on the magic website.  We did Shards-Shards-Conflux-Reborn packs and sat in two groups.  Each table had 5 people and it was somewhat interesting.  The deckbuilding was a little less crazy than in a normal draft.  I definitely had to take cards OUT before putting unwanted cards IN.  I jumped on the bant-wagon early with Stoic Angel, then picked up another couple of big rares in the bant colors.  I kept looking for exalted cards to synergize with the angel, but rarely saw any worth taking.  I ended up playing with some big creatures, some disruption and a couple of soul's might:

Creatures:

Sovereigns of Lost Alara
Stoic Angel
Cliffrunner Behemoth
Skill Borrower
Grizzled Leotau
Aerie Mystics x2
Stweard of Valeron
Rhox War Monk
Winged

So i got some advice for the vampire deck im workin on and i need to get ahold of some of those cards that they suggested like vampire nocturnus and malakir bloodwitch ahah than it should be almost ready to play competitivly i hope. i hope the deck will do atleast okay in the upcomming friday night magic game not this friday but next.. but there is a draft on thursday so im definatly gonna check it out i never been should be fun.  i also bought magic online yesterday so far im just checkin it out got alot of crap cards from the register cards lol but oh well.  ill see how i like playin at the local card store if theres alot of ppl if not ill play mtgo or both ahaha. well till text time.

This was my 2nd zendikar draft, and I liked my deck.  I mentioned that I really pushed to go black for the removal, and tried to just splash other colors.  I ended up with mainly black-blue, with a splash of white.
