Another day in the draft

First of all, i want to express something. I play magic for the fun in playing, not always to win. This may help you understand some of my odd picks in this draft. I must also allow you to see the frame of mind i was in as well cause you will not understand why i picked certain cards when i did. On Wednesday i was in a draft where my opponent did turn zero leyline of anticapation. He then just played land and passed until I played and attacked then he decided to block with creatures he played as instants. The leyline made all my combat decisions bad and hard. The ability to just sit and intercept my creatures with instant speed was uncanny. Later on friday before fnm i did a draft and i had leyline in a blue/white flyer deck and i relized how much fun it was to be in such control. my opponent attacked with a wing griffin and i drop a serra angel on his turn and block he tries to giant growth and i play a holy stength as an instant as well. so i like playing with the leyline allot.

Now that you know that you may understand why I 1st picked one in the draft. I already knew i wanted to be blue, i have a high success rate in drafting blue. i pased on a pick 2 leyline figuring it would come back, it did not but i still went very well. there was a great moment in the draft. Pack 3 pick 1, I picked a jace's ingenuity and passed the pack with this comment "here you go the rare bomb is not in my color". The guy next to me almost fell out of his chair. I had just passed him a sword of vengeance. "How is that not in your colors???" i just shrugged my shoulders and proceeded to draft.

Now i know that you are asking yourself whether or not i am a total bad player. How can the sword not be in my color it's an artifact. well i'll tell you this, my deck had only 5 creatures in it.

ice cage:3
leyline of anticipation:1
jace's ingenuity:2
tome scour:5
call to mind:1
jace's erasure:1

In round 1 i only played 17 land and had some mana issues which caused me to lose game one. I resuffled and tried again with 17 and i won game 2, but in game 3 i had serious mana issues and i had to mulligan to 5 keeping tome,tome, island,island harbor serpent. i proceeded to draw 4-5 drop spells and no land then i drew land 3 on turn 7. It was too late to insert myself into ganme he was white/green and had a board of people running around.
In round 2 i played against a black green deck with allot of black removal and some green fatties, his removal was almost useless, he had 3 assassinates and my creatures never saw a reason to tap. he had no pump so ice cgae was very effective at shutting down his fatties.
In round 3 i played kevin who knew what i was playing and figured he had an easy win. I won game 1 on turn 5 after scouring him 6 times. In game 2 he decided to ask the judges if he could put more cards into his deck , and he is allowed to deck anything he drafted an unlimited land. (I did not stop him cause i will take a game 1 win and a delayed till time game 2 anyday) He sat back down and i counted his deck 75 cards. I went to work on hitting it hard he had turn 4 fauna shaman and was using his mana to fetch whatever creatures he could play and he was able to pound on my skull. In game three he went and got more land, his deck went up to 89 cards and he was now 5 colors. I found out after game his hand he kept. forest,shaman,mountain,runeclaw bear,island,swamp,expanse. i kept island x3, jace's erasure, preordain, temple bell. first turn he expanses searches for a plains, i play island and pass, he plays shaman and i play icecage on shaman, turn 3 he plays land and passes, i play erasure and preordain. then he plays hornet sting on shaman and tosses the bear to get nightwing shade. i draw another cage but decide to wait i play bell and start to have fun. He plays shade, i cage it and starts pounding with shaman, i draw elixir refill and cast ingenuity drawing elixir and 2 scours. he proceeds to draw and play lands while i continue to mill away his creatures, he get in more with shaman but draws no one to search for another creature with. I win the game and i earn 9th place. not top 8 but i had allot of fun. In my book thats all that counts. Until next time draft greedy and win (i gotta start being greedy again.)
