  Pack 1 pick 1:

Here in this pick there are two black cards Doom blade and Assassinate that my opponent to my left is going to pick for sure so I pick the Pacifism that’s a good removal spell I’m going to put my opponent on black and almost for sure my opponent in the second pack is going to pass me a lot of white stuff so I think Pacifism is the right pick here.


  My Pick:


  Pack 1 pick 2:

  

There’s nothing on white except for Safe Passage and it’s too soon to pick one of those, so I’m going the U/W Tempo/Flyers strategy and take the Aether Adept

My Pick:


  Pack 1 pick 3:

Stormfront Pegasus is fine, but I think the right flyer to pick here is Cloud Crusader because it has more potential than the pegasus.


  My Pick:


  Pack 1 pick 4:

There’s nothing on my colors except for Silvercoat Lion that I end up picking.
  My Pick:


  Pack 1 pick 5:

Now it’s time to take Safe Passage because it’s a nice combat trick and almost always is a “Removal” spell so It’s good enough to make the cut.


  My Pick:


  Pack 1 pick 6:

Nice 1cc that has “Exalted”

  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 1:

The Angel is a bomb in draft always, if the opponent doesn’t have an answer is practically game Is a 4/4 Flyer and that is awesome.


  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 2:

I inicially thought that in the deck that I was trying to build (U/W “Control”) it was better azure drake so I took it….


  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 3:

But realized that Griffin is sooo good so I took this one


  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 4:

Diminish is a nice combat trick that can save your life sometimes so I took it.
  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 5:

Redirect is an awesome undervalued card because If the opponent has a Corrupt against your Serra Angel you can Redirect it and take out his Grave Titan and stuff like that, so it’s a good “Removal” spell.


  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 6:



  My Pick:


  Pack 2 pick 7:

Cloud Elemental is better than Water Servant in this deck because I’d like to have an aggro deck that kills fast.


  My Pick:

  Pack 2 pick 15:

  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 1:

Another Pacifism is good quality removal so it’s always welcome.


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 2:

Assault Griffin is a nice flyer so it will be good enough in my deck.


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 3:

Hate picking a Plummet is sometimes good.


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 4:

Another Cloud Elemental is a nice adition to the deck.


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 5:

Augury Owl is a NICE card advantage that provides a 1/1 flyer which can get along well with my Infantry Veterans.


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 6:

I wasn’t expecting to 5th pick an Air Servant this was weird…


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 7:

White Knight is a nice creature and certainly it’s better than Safe passage.


  My Pick:


  Pack 3 pick 8:

Foresee 7th pick nobody was drafting blue!!!

I liked a lot my mana curve it was good, I think it was a nice deck and I had pretty good chances of taking this down so with my confidence on the top I started my rounds.

 

Round 1

 

Game 1

 

MTGO sucks this game and decides not to record, my deck started with an infantry veteran, and later a augury owl that would attack for 3 each turn thanks to another Veteran, my opponent tried to race me by playing a Juggernaut but I had a pacifism and won without problems.

 

Game 2

 

Evil chose to play first and I kept this hand:

[T: 6] Evil casts White Knight and then Excommunicated my Azure Drake charging with everything [DL: 7] [D: Azure Drake] I Foresee my future seeing [Safe Passage:B, 2 Island:1T 1B, Cloud Elemental:T] but then I saw that I used my mana wrong and couldn’t play pacifism in the Juggernaut

 

[T: 7] Evil casts Knight Exemplar and bashes with everything [DL: 3] [D: Plains] I cast azure drake and pacifism Juggernaut

 

[T: 8] Evil casts Overwhelming Stampede I concede in response.

[T: 5] [D: Pacifism] I cast pacifism on the Juggernaut and bash with everything [E: 9] Evil plays a forest and casts Spined wurm then he attacks [DL: 12]

 

[T: 6] [D: Assault Griffin] I attack with cloud elemental only and get it pumped [E: 6] whlie Evil attacks with everything except pegasus I diminish his Wurm and finish him with my owl [DL: 10] and then he casts Wild Griffin

 

[T: 7] [D: Plains] I play my land and attack with Elemental, Evil double blocks I pump my elemental but he plays Safe Passage In response to kill my elemental without losing creatures, I play later a Mastodon. Evil excommunicates my mastodon and bashes with everything [DL: 4]

 

[T: 8] [D: Siege Mastodon] I play my Assault Griffin and pass. Evil bashes with everything I block with my veteran the pridemate and griffin blocks pegasus [DL: 2] and pass.

 

[T: 8] [D: Unsummon] After my draw I conceded.

 

This deck was nice but for my bad luck. My opponent drew good cards and I made a lot of misplays. Hope you liked it.

Azure Drake > Assault Griffin every time. Better luck next time.

So U/W fliers are still good by KoRnZYSIEK at Thu, 09/16/2010 - 04:17

So U/W fliers are still good and you had draft where nobody was drafting your colour... quite boring.

Drake is so much better than by Fragoel2 at Fri, 09/17/2010 - 01:58

Drake is so much better than Griffin: Drake can attack into Stormfront Pegasus, Liliana's Specter, Wild and, of course, Assault Griffin whitout trading.

Stormfront Pegasus over Assault Griffin : Pegausus comes down early and thus usually deals more damage before answered. Also, it's so hard to get good two drops in this format as most are only bears.

Um yeah, i didn't want to say by iikuuk at Fri, 09/17/2010 - 09:19
