Sometimes, you just have a bad day, and despite not looking like professionals, we've decided to post this draft. After all, we're here to teach.
We'd hoped to go Sultai, and we should have known that this draft was ill fated when it started off by passing a rare in our colours.
In any case, if you want to learn, this draft is full of mistakes and foibles which should prove educational.
Between sending the drafter to our left directly into our colours, not seeing any fixing in our colours, and not wanting to draft this clan in the first place, we ended up with something of a mediocre Sultai deck, and yet there was hope.
There was a time (at the beginning of pack three) which we could have chosen to jump colours in order to play our planeswalker. We could have made the switch into Temur at that point, but it would have been a huge gamble.
One thing we definitely should have done is paid more attention to the board state.
In round one, I don't think there was anything to do but be on the defensive, but in round two there was a point at which we should have stopped worrying about the Rakshasa Deathdealer, and started racing our opponent. Even if it wasn't likely, the game could have swung in our favour eventually, whereas just taking the hits every turn left us with nowhere to go once we finally had plays to make.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.
-Step.
