As round three wraps up of the Pro Tour, quite a bit of people swing by the running MTGO drafts to see what's happening.

Onto the drafts:

There's a lot of red decks, but Athos' U/B deck has been holding steady.  Unfortunately in game three has has to mulligan down to five to have enough land to do anything of interest.  He keeps a hand of Paralyzing Grasp and 3x Islands and a swamp.  He doesn't see a fifth mana until turn 9 while he draws double black, and 5 mana spells.  He puts up a noble defense with what he can cast but both blockers eat a Disfigure before combat damage which keeps them from being able to trade with the incoming hookmaster and Ally which go the distance.
