Watched Channel Reid's second HOU draft on YouTube, and played along how I would have done it. I am no expert (never even played a draft), and I am aware that the pick options would be drastically different because of the influence Reid's picks had on the draft, but I thought this was a fun little exercise and that the deck came out decent. Tell me what you think if you have any opinion!

The basic strategy is to go wide and pump with Shefet Dunes, In Oketra's Name , and Tah-Crop Elite. Scavenger Grounds, Disposal Mummy , and Crook of Condemnation can be boarded in to deal with graveyard threats (namely the gods, but perhaps some of the more threatening eternalize/embalm creatures). Solemnity would have been a silly/neat way to play with black creatures that place counters on themselves, but I never picked up enough of those to make it even close to playable (if it is even possible to make it playable lol). One of the tougher picks was between Ifnir Deadlands and Dreamstealer, but I ultimately decided for aggro and going wide the creature is more useful. He is also a rare, and rares are cool. On a more serious note, he can come back later with eternalize and act as a sort of makeshift top end for my low curve if the game drags on for too long. The Painful Lesson could be a cool way to get a win by making opp calculate their life total inaccurately during a crucial block and then playing it post combat. Otherwise, I can get card advantage from it.So anyway, I think the deck is kinda sweet, but I have no idea if it would actually work (seeing as I have zero real experience playing draft, but I have watched dozens of drafts online).

Any feedback is welcome!
