My draft deck from Friday Night Magic. It was a pod of 6, but 2 of the people dropped. I went 3-0, and all the matches were 2-0.

The Lay Claim and Kefnet's Last Word were some of the most major bombs, since they meant I could deny my opponent's threat and create one of my own. The Hour of Devastation also did a lot of work, since it took care of so many threats effectively (at one point I had to use it to clear a Bitterbow Sharpshooters and an unimportant 2-drop, just because I had nothing else to deal with it).

Other cards that did a fair amount of work were the Frontline Devastator, Spellweaver Eternal, Angler Drake, Abrade, Unsummon, and Tragic Lesson.

During the second game I swapped the Hour of Eternity out for Unsummon, then swapped it back in for the third match for the late-game value.

Overall, the deck performed far beyond my expectations, and I was really impressed with how fun it was to play. The good balance of removal and threatening creatures made for some interesting decisions, and all my opening hands were keep-able.
