Final Results!
Well, it went right down to the wire, and ultimately Tappedout did nothing more than play the spoiler to the actual contenders, but it played a very successful spoiler, determining the champion in the final round. Your standings!
1st Place - Grim (6-1)
Just a nasty piece of work. Did Grim draw Myr Reservoir? Or Tempered Steel? Or did she get out Geth, Lord of the Vault? If so, congratulations, you lose. (Unless, like Sectoid, you could counter the relevant spells). The Tappedout deck put up a respectable showing against this deck, but ultimately couldn't stop its Myr onslaught. Thirteen Myr in this deck! I was very impressed by Grim's innovative draft strategy; she seemed to have a never-ending font of Myr, plus nasty surprises like Geth, Golem Foundry, and Turn to Slag. We'll hear more from the champion later on in the article on what she thought of this draft.
2nd Place - Sectoid (5-2)
Sectoid actually beat Grim's deck, but faltered against the speed of Fisher's infect deck, and was buried under a mountain of mid-range beef against the Tappedouters. This nasty mono-blue deck primarily relied on Grand Architect and Neurok Invisimancer to win the game, plus four copies of Bonds of Quicksilver and a few counterspells to mess with the enemy. A very dangerous deck that came close to winning it all; this was Sectoid's best draft result ever.
3rd Place - Tappedout (4-3) (wins tiebreaker vs. Fisher)
The Hive Mind did not have its best DDD ever, dropping a record-high three matches and struggling to take home a winning record. Blame has been cast from lack of a late game to a confused multicolor draft strategy, but it was still a pretty decent showing. Bounce back and get 'em next time, drafters! After the standings, I'll weigh in, along with the other drafters, with my thoughts on this event.
4th Place - Fisher (4-3) (loses tiebreaker vs. Tappedout)
Fisher was That Infect Guy this time around, but no one else committed to infect, so he built a very nasty, and fast aggro infect deck. He had a hard time hanging around against decks that could survive his initial onslaught, though, and that would prove to be his downfall in the matches he lost, especially against Bernard, who scored his only match win against Fisher.
5th Place - Raynor (3-4) (wins tiebreaker vs. Shetland)
This was a very high-quality draft, and Raynor's deck would, I suspect, be sufficient to beat the crap out of most SOM draft decks that have been put together. His combination of green-black filthiness (including the most card-draw, as it turned out) got him a long ways, but not far enough for a winning record.
6th Place - Shetland (3-4) (loses tiebreaker vs. Raynor)
The hard-luck case of the draft. Shetland at least won a game in every match he played, except his match against Raynor, and had more than his fair share of mana screw/flood. He also seemed to have a hard time drawing his best card, Prototype Portal. His blue-red deck certainly seems better than a 6th-Place deck.
7th Place - Reaper (2-5)
Reaper had a bunch of scary artifacts and spells in this mono-red deck, but not, it seemed, enough high-quality creatures. Reaper stretched the color red a little too thin in this deck and paid for it by having only 11 creatures, and those weren't exactly all the best red dudes out there. Unlike Sectoid, Reaper was unable to make his mono-colored deck cover all his bases, and he paid for it with a painful 2-5 finish.
8th Place - Bernard (1-6)
Bernard had some rough luck too, but he also had an insanely heavy mana curve (SIX copies of Alpha Tyrranax ) and only 16 mana, which was probably pushing things a little. This was the cause of most of his problems, as he had plenty of good cards, but rarely any mana to cast them. Probably a much better deck if it had added one or two more lands. On the bright side for Bernard, he does walk away from the draft with a shiny new Elspeth Tirel.
Drafter Comments
Now we'll have an interview with our drafters. Caley will answer for the Tappedout community. We'll be asking each drafter these questions:
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
Grim
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"I didn't come in bent on anything, really, I just kinda winged it. I started by grabbing Chimeric Mass because he's good anywhere, and then pick 2 I got passed a Myr Reservoir. ( Caley's note- By Shetland. THANKS, DUDE. ) After I took that I just decided to see if I could make a Myr deck work."
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"I didn't really pay too much attention. Actually, I did notice that I wasn't getting Leaden Myr, which I needed, so I figured people had to be drafting lots of black." ( Caley's note- Three drafters drafted heavy black, and Grim drafted light black, so there were four black drafters! Only Fisher and Raynor ended up using lots of black in their decks; Tappedout decided against using black cards, and Grim only splashed it for Geth, etc. )
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"Honestly, Myr Reservoir being passed to me was pretty amazing. I guess it's pretty weird to go for a Myr deck, but if you commit to it, it looks like it works pretty well with the right cards. I also got passed a lot of Palladium Myr pretty late. Oh, and packing a Geth didn't hurt."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"Now that I can see them, I feel like (Shetland) actually had a really good deck. He had lots of control, a good mix of creatures, and one card that just basically wins when he draws it."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"I did not expect to get Elspeth dropped on my head every game during the next-to-last round. Fortunately Tempered Steel pulled me out of the fire."
Sectoid
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"I started with this really terrible pack where I was pretty sure the best card was Neurok Invisimancer. After that I sorta just kept getting good blue cards, so I kept going blue. I was waiting to split off to another color but I never found anything that interested me enough, and I kept getting good blue cards." (Caley's note- Only Shetland and Fisher also drafted blue; Fisher only splashed it for proliferate cards. )
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"Well blue seemed pretty open to me. I did notice that there weren't very many good green cards." (Caley's note- Accurate. Three players, Bernard, Fisher, and Raynor, all had heavy green elements in their decks )
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"Oh man. I got two Grand Architects in a row during the last pack. I lucked out big time there, my deck would have sucked pretty bad without those, I think."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"(Grim). She won for good reason."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"Again, (Grim)'s whole deck. That was just crazy."
KrazyCaley
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"We, and here I am using the Hive Mind we, just picked a few good cards near the start and tried to stick to those colors. We had a good number of white cards, but then kept alternating between red and black as our second color. Ultimately we ended up with enough good red cards to make a solid deck, but we just couldn't seem to find any really nasty bombs."
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"The Hive Mind seemed to think that black was being heavily drafted, and that red was not. Black was being drafted heavily by two others, so that was true. Red was being heavily-drafted by one and lightly-drafted by another, plus we drafted it, of course, but there were a LOT of red cards in these packs, more so than usual, so it did seem legitimate to think that there was some open red."
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"Picking up an Oxidda Scrapmelter at pick 10 was pretty amazing."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"(Grim) and (Sectoid) both had really good decks and could have won this draft. I liked both of them because they were incredibly innovative. Who goes mono-blue or just drafts everything with "Myr" in it in this format? These two did and they went 1-2."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"(Bernard)'s Elspeth, which he had not put in a sleeve, was pretty surprising, especially since he killed me with it in one game."
Fisher
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"Infect is getting to the point where people think it's overused, so they stop using it. So I went infect because I figured not many others would for once." (Caley's note- Accurate. No one else was dedicated to infect. )
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"White looked fairly open, but there weren't a lot of good cards." (Caley's note- Bernard and Tappedout drafted heavy white, and Grim splashed for Tempered Steel. Bernard only began drafting white after he packed an Elspeth Tirel in pack 2. )
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"I didn't really have any luck-out moments that I remember."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"(Grim)'s deck was pretty crazy. I also felt like Caley's deck was really solid; it looked pretty tough to crack." (Caley's note- I bet he's just saying that because we swept him in our match, though. No one else swept him.
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"The whole idea behind (Grim)'s deck was nothing I had ever seen before. It was really cool."
Raynor
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"Just to find the best cards I could find and stick with the right colors. I started out in green, but saw a Grasp of Darkness and some other good cards and moved into black, too."
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"It looked like red was pretty open. I was thinking of moving into it, but I decided it would be better to commit to the colors I already had, since I was getting pretty good stuff. And I saw a pretty good amount of red anyway."
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"I picked up Necrotic Ooze about halfway through the first pack. No way is that card that bad."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"I thought it was between (Grim) and (Fisher), but Fisher didn't do nearly as well, so...."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"(Bernard) cast Genesis Wave for seven, and four of them were Alpha Tyrranax, and I still won somehow. That was crazy. I looked through his deck later and saw that he had six of them. Insane."
Shetland
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"I saw some really hot blue and red cards early on; took an Oxidda Scrapmelter and a Volition Reins 1-2. Then later I saw a Prototype Portal and tried to amp up the artifacts a little more also. It worked out pretty well, I thought."
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"I only thought maybe one other person was drafting any blue." (Caley's note- Essentially accurate; Sectoid was the only other blue drafter. Fisher picked up the occasional proliferate card, but that's it. )
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"Prototype Portal. I opened that pack 2 and thought, well, this draft just got a lot easier."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"(Grim), no question. That deck was killer."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"The first game against (Grim) was really nuts. She got out like eight Myr and I had a bunch of copies of Vulshok Replica with Prototype Portal, but she could keep bringing the Myr back faster than I could make Replica copies. Eventually she dropped a Tempered Steel and just ruined me."
Reaper
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"I drafted a lot of good red stuff early, and never saw anything that made me want to do any other colors. I see now that I had another guy drafting red, (Shetland), picking before me, so that didn't help."
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"Honestly I saw a lot of red. I saw so much red, I didn't really think anyone else was drafting it."
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"I tabled a Turn to Slag in the first pack. That was what made me think, yeah, no one else can be doing red if Turn to Slag made it around."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"Honestly I thought Caley did. That one had a lot of different ways to come at you. (Shetland)'s was pretty good too."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"Man, (Fisher) had ALL the poison cards, it seemed like. I thought my deck was pretty fast but playing him I'd have like 5 poison counters before I could even do anything."
Bernard
1- What was your draft strategy, and how did it evolve over the course of the draft?
"I stuck to green early. Green has some really good cards in Scars, like Tel-Jilad Fallen and decent combat tricks, plus you don't really need too much removal because of all the big creatures, and you can stop fliers with Wall of Tanglecord pretty well. Then I packed an Elspeth Tirel and had to go white for her, obviously."
2- What colors did you evaluate as being open or closed during the course of the draft?
"I didn't see a lot of white cards being taken, especially later on when I was looking for them."
3- What pick or picks made you feel lucky, or shocked that someone had passed it?
"I packed an Elspeth Tirel, man. First planeswalker I've ever opened in a pack and it happens in a draft. That was awesome."
4- Who had the best deck in the draft?
"I couldn't really tell since I lost to like, all of them. (Sectoid)'s deck was the most frustrating."
5- What were you least-expecting from an opponent that you encountered during play?
"Grim's deck. That was crazy. Who let her get all of those Myr?"

Grim's picks were on a Silver Myr platter (see what I did there?). Can we sit behind Fisher next time? Look at what got passed in pack A5-8 and pack C... YEESH
Fisher taking infect with no caution to what he was passing Grim basically made this draft.

Fisher says- "Guilty as charged; I made her deck. I was trying to commit to making poison work, and I never suspected that she'd make such a killer deck with these materials."

I didn't appreciate how well Grim drafted until I saw this. Not only did she build her own deck, she single-handedly crippled the green decks also.
