"Two Halves Leave a Big Hole" - August 13, 2014

I wish I could say that the inaugural draft for our new blog went better, but at least we learned some things! First, if you're going to go all in on your pack 1 pick 1, make sure you're thinking strategy, not just colour. By the end of the draft, we wound up with what I feel was two halves of a deck, with red aggro on the lower end, and red black control at the top, and they never quite met in the middle.



During the draft we probably should have paid more attention to artifacts and other synergy cards, and prioritized cards to make the game go long, especially after we decided on the Caustic Tar as another win condition.

Despite our one track drafting mentality, and Tams feeling off kilter for completely separate reasons, we still managed to play fairly well and enjoy ourselves.

Hope to see you next time,
