With Game Day fast approaching, it seems like we've had no time at all to play with Dragons of Tarkir. That said, I'm hearing some pretty strong opinions about the "Best deck", particularly for draft. It's always nice for me to see some other style of decks which are possible. In the spirit of that, I think you'll enjoy seeing what we (and our opponents) managed to create this week.
Round one was probably one of the most difficult matches we've had in a long time. I'm the first one to extol the virtues of a black/red deck in this format, but our opponent went an entirely different way with it. It's a deck I'd like to try playing at some point. The key, just take all the removal. All the removal you see, and a few efficient dash creatures. He was able to keep the board entirely clear and dash his Lightning Berserker in to whittle us down to within burn range. It certainly was a deck.
Rounds two and three went much more as we'd expected. We played against a blue/green deck in round two, and a blue/black deck in round three, both of which were solid decks. In the second game of round three, our splash for Daghatar finally paid off. I won't give too much more away, but this draft is definitely something to watch. I hope you all enjoy it!
Thanks for reading,
