FNM Draft 06-07-13
Strangely enough, the store opted to use 3 Dragon's Maze packs for the draft.
Round 1- Selesnya/Extort0-2 L
Both games came incredibly close- Down to one card. Match 1 was lost due to a forced discard of Punish the Enemy via Down with the opponent at 3 life, followed by him turning around and pulling a win. The second game he managed to drop a Riot Control with 1 life left and, again, recover for a win.
I'm not too hurt about these losses; they were great games and he did go on to win the draft for the evening.
Round 2 - Something2-0 W
All I can recall was this was a 60 card deck that didn't make much of a board presence either game.
Round 3 - 4 Color Control2-1 W
These games were some great matches and a lot of it came down to topdecking. Punish the Enemy and Blood Scrivener were key players in these games.
Final score for the evening- 4-3
I'm pretty pleased with how I did tonight- maybe next week I can draft something a little stronger or get luckier on the draw and avoid some narrow losses again.
VIP CardsZhur-Taa Druid This guy pinging the opponent turn after turn added up quickly and definitely helped tip the games in my favor when things started to slow down.
Blood Scrivener Secured a victory in at least two games this evening with the extra draw. My low CMC allowed me to dump hands pretty easily and when he found himself on the board, draw was easy to come by.
Punish the Enemy This card just did work tonight. Especially in conjunction with Zhur-Taa Druid, there were games where I would play this and deal 5 damage outright to the opponent while clearing the board for a swing.
Honorable MentionPyrewild Shaman He only managed to make an appearance in one game- but in that game, he was beefing up a Rakdos Drake every turn and it won the game in stride. He performed better than I expected and wish he would have showed up a little more, but I can't comlpain.
