Hi Guys & Gals!

 

My name is Travis, and I've been recording Magic Online drafts for a while now. This one started out innocently enough, with some strong picks but no clear direction on colour. Then I see it.

door to nothingness

I've done my fair share of drafts, and I've seen the doors go by. This isn't my first rodeo. I know it isn't playable... but... could it work? Even just once?

 

We were missing a few pieces of the puzzle to be sure. A farseek would have gone a long way, and an evolving wilds or three would have helped quite a bit.  How did it work out? 

 

 

Did I expect a fringe deck like this to work? No, not really. Did I have a blast doing it? Yeah! This was easily the most fun I've had drafting M13, and the scary part? It ALMOST go there! Both games were within one turn of opening the door! Don't be afraid to open "doors" and try fringe strategies in M13 before we start returning to ravnica... you'll miss some fun and wacky games if you do!

Moot point but worth mentioning by johan_djinn at Thu, 09/20/2012 - 14:41

You should have attacked first with Arctic Aven before Switcheroo so he doesn't have a spider to block?

Moot? by Semulin at Thu, 09/20/2012 - 14:51

You are 100% correct. And I don't think I'd say it's completely moot. It was the right play, even though it didn't matter in this game. Saying that something does not matter because I lost the game anyway, would be a great way for me to make sure I never improve at Magic! Thank you for the feedback :)
