Sorry but I don’t have anyone IRL to share how happy I am about this. All my real-life drafts have been really disappointing and I was feeling down on myself.
Deck was Red-White with a focus on roles and enchantments. I got [[Archon of the Wild Rose]] and [[A Tale for the Ages]] Pack 2 Pick 1 and Pack 2 Pick 2 respectively. [[Savior of the Sleeping]] is a card I have played with a bunch but have never utilised properly before now. My two Saviors were probably the MVPs, I managed to frequently get them quite buffed-up.
Looking back over my draft and I realize now that I didn’t wind-up using my first three picks! I realized late into the first pack that White seemed really open, so when Pack 2 came around, and I got those two really helpful rares, I got the sense I was onto a good thing.
I’m surprised to see you passed on pretty much every removal spell in your draft. [[Grasp of Fate]], [[Kellan’s Lightblades]], and [[Cut In]] would’ve ranked higher in my mind than most of the picks you took instead. You ended up with the 7 wins in the end, but did you find the lack of removal in the deck noticeable?
No, not at all. The three [[Witch’s Mark]] and the two [[Hopeful Vigil]] meant I could work through my deck quickly enough to draw [[Archon of the Wild Rose]] or [[Tale for the Ages]] and see the game out quickly.
For removal, using [[Werefox Bodyguard]], [[The Princess Takes Flight]], and [[Expel the Interlopers]] wound up being enough.
Interesting. Still not sure I’d have made the same choices, but it worked out, so congrats!
