Round 1: Arbalest Elite Day of Judgment Benalish Veteran Scepter of Empires Lava Axe Ponder Alluring Siren Lifelink Negate Goblin Grenade Goblin Grenade Goblin Tunneler Wall of Torches Runeclaw Bear Forest Round 2: Goblin Piker Grand Abolisher Gideon's Lawkeeper Goblin Arsonist Goblin Fireslinger Incinerate Pride Guardian Manic Vandal Slaughter Cry Act of Treason Spirit Mantle Pride Guardian Naturalize Lifelink Forest Round 3: Volcanic Dragon Fireball Goblin Piker Timely Reinforcements Goblin Fireslinger Volcanic Dragon Pacifism Spirit Mantle Mighty Leap Reverberate Divine Favor Gladecover Scout Firebreathing Bountiful Harvest Mountain I love the Grand Abolisher, and the mighty leaps are nice to make some flying goblins. Spirit mantles are nice to poke past your opponent's creatures, and everyone loves timely reinforcements.

And the 3 Merfolk Mesmerists can help seal the deal on the backs of the counterspells. Island x15 Swamp x2 Divination x2 Mind Unbound Turn to Frog Jace's Erasure x2 Cancel Negate Mana Leak Doom Blade Phantasmal Bear Merfolk Mesmerist x3 Phantasmal Image Aether Adept Skywinder Drake x2 Amphin Cutthroat Phantasmal Dragon Aven Fleetwing x2 Sphinx of Uthuun

It's good if you can get a 2 for 4, but more often than not it's just a 1 for 1 or a 2 for 2, and when it's a 3 for 2, it's just trash. I can respect the pick, but I'd rather just have doom blade. also, cemetary reaper is the stones and splashing the fireball is NECESSARY and if you didn't you're wrong.

The deck doesn't fear bloodthirst ( triple pride guardian with Day of justice and 2 lawkeepers, pacifism and friggin frost breath) and should fare well against anything else. I love mighty leap on Pride guardians. The stave off should hopefully protect the sphinx from pesky plummets. I don't think I could have done much better.

That was a difficult draft but may I say one thing - there is no uncommon you would take over Day of Judgement in P1p1. Checking the top picks at the end of the draft, player to our right had a Mind Control which I suppose you could argue as a good first pick over DOJ. Not saying it's right just saying it's a defendable pick. Also did anyone else notice there were three planeswalkers in that draft, crazy. I forced UW control and ended happy overall with double Looter and double Lawkeeper and some decent flyers. but three planeswalkers man.

It seemed like a good pick and at P1P5 I didn't think we were particularly committed to a particular color, although the Day of Judgment and Sphinx of Uthuun are both good and in different colors. My first time through turned into a bit of a trainwreck, with strong black, but no solid second color. I was able to force (after knowing what I'd see) a good U/B controling deck to use the Sutured Ghoul though.

I think in person it'd be much harder not to pick some of the rarer cards right away. The only thing that kept me from starting with the sphinx was the mana cost. I liked the green/white that was inspired by the lonely little lawkeeper. By the time I got to Thran I figured green would be a good addition to white for the enchanting Thran purposes. Hunter's insight showed up later. That pushed me to go for some evasiveness in my next picks. Other than that I just tried to keep it simple with the two colors. Round 1: Gideon's Lawkeeper Day of Judgment Thran Golem Greater Basilisk Giant Spider Spirit Mantle Trollhide Lifelink Runeclaw Bear Demystify Runeclaw Bear Fog Firebreathing Runeclaw Bear Forest Round 2: Hunter's Insight Grand Abolisher Gideon's Lawkeeper Pride Guardian Titanic Growth Fog Divine Favor Llanowar Elves Pride Guardian Mighty Leap Hunter's Insight Gladecover Scout Goblin Fireslinger Lifelink Forest Round 3: Garruk's Companion Stormfront Pegasus Plummet Timely Reinforcements Llanowar Elves Thran Golem Pacifism Spirit Mantle Lifelink Mighty Leap Divine Favor Gladecover Scout Runeclaw Bear Bountiful Harvest Mountain
