Hello everyone,

Here is my story. I played mono-40 card decks years ago with a friend. I had two of each deck, but being young and dumb, and poor, I never really did much other than play with a friend of mine...and I lost a lot.

Anyways, one week ago tonight, I picked up a deck my girlfriends brother built, played and was hooked again. One week later, I have bought the 2013 Green/White event deck (which rocks, with a pair of Wolfir Silverhearts) and have done my first booster draft last night (0-4, got to take home one booster pack, byes count as wins!)

So, I have a **** ton of cards again already, mostly 2013, 2012, 2011 and such. I have picked up a bunch of boosters, the toolkit, black white theme deck, and am working on two things...

First of all, I am interested in figuring out what I did wrong with the booster draft last night. I know I didn't grab much for removal, but I figured I could thump my opponents to death...didn't work tho...

So here is what I drafted...actually what I played with. I didnt do any changes during the night, as I grabbed a few rares and things that didnt work with my deck....be honest, and dont hold back...

10x Mountain
7x Island

Reds
1x Fire Elemental
1x Krenko's Command
2x Wall of Fire
2x Reckless Brute
1x Kindled Fury
2x Canyon Minotaur
1x Torch Fiend 
2x Dragon Hatchling 

Blues
3x Scroll Theif
1x Rewind
1x Master of the Pearl Trident
1x Kraken Hatchling
1x Wind Drake
1x Downpour

Colorless Artifacts
1x Kitesail
1x Elixir of Immortality
1x Chronomaton

With that deck, if I lucked out early, I could get the opponent down to around 10-15...but never had any luck... Tips?

Second, I am in the process of working on a Zombie-Thump deck...and am really close to wrapping up and getting after the cards... Here is the list so far, I think I might need something for defense, or destroying spells....not sure though...give me your thoughts on this one too please, and let me know what you would add. I still need about 2 or 4 creatures, and 2 or 3 other spells... The centre of the deck is the infect capabilities of the 4 Phyrexian Crusaders, coupled with a pair of Darksteel Plates... I want a bit of mana ramp too, to help get to the pair of Army of the Damneds.

4x Phyrexian Crusader
4x Tormented Soul
2x Walking Corpse
2x Abattoir Ghoul
2x Zombie Goliath
2x Veilborn Ghoul

2x Cower in Fear
2x Disentomb
2x Army of the Damned
4x Murder
2x Darksteel Plate
2x Darksteel Axe
2x Exsanguinate
2x Pristine Talisman
2x Bubbling Muck (Not sure on that one...)

So, give me your honest thoughts. I want to improve...FAST...and get to the next draft and get a win or two under my belt.

Thanks everyone!
