More m11 drafting

well hello again, i know most of you want me to stop but i will not. I feel that my advice is really advice. It comes from my own play experience, and while i may mis-judge certain cards i still give good advice allround. Now please take in mind, that unless you pilot a card, you have no idea how good or bad it really is. Most card read as being very bad, but they may not be. But thats enough of me talking about un-magic stuff.

Drafting status:

Red is actually kinda playable depending what else you got, i was able to synergy build a green/red deck that abused pack leader. I must also ask, What is wrong with main deck reverberate? I thinks its a great combat or removal spell, you just do not know which yet.

Green is full of big dorks and thats what they are good for. Green also has some cheap costing faties and a few underrated cards. I think most people discount bridle boar; sure its 2g for a 2/2 but hey he's a 4 life back-up. In some games thats all that matters. I also think green is the best place for the +3/+1 equipment to go, it fits nicely on sacred wolf.

White i stil kinda do not like it here but the bombs are nice. I really have tried to not draft white, i just am not a fan of white's usally sub-par creatures. I do notice that white is almost exactly m10 with new bombs. So i would assume the drafting is the same. Main decking solemn offering is more common though cause of ajani pridemate.

Black is sick. reassembling skeleton is about to become 1st pick no mater what and pray for a viscera seer. The ability to scry on that scale is totally stupid. Not to mention the bloodthorn and he's a common as well, great deck with no rares. The removal is in high quality and the spells are nice. some bad dorks like that 4/2 but mostly there are playable creatures.

Blue excels in the usaul, flyers and draw power. In m11 its more like Scry power though. blue also has some big dorks to play well with green. Combat tricks to play with white. Control to go with black. Draw/scry for red. Blue is that basice all around color that splashes well with the whole party.

Finally one more word to all the haters, POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that way we can debate, discuss, and delve into the knowledge of drafting.

Until next time, draft greedy and win.

my advice

ok here i go, this post is to clear the record. all my tips and advice in this blog come from my own personal play experience and i feel that is the most credible resource you can have. I understand sometimes my typing is bad, ok horrible but i type very fast and i forget use spell-checker so i will try to do better in that regard. so i ask you as a magic player to reply and offer up your ideas and views i would be happy to read them and offer my own.

M11 drafting

ok i finally got to one and i liked the drafting but before i get into the deck and how i did and such i have got something to get off of my chest.

Why the Hell do People draw?????? Seriously unless you are already in top 8 it is pointless and potentially bad. because if you lose next round you are dream crushed and you knocked out but if you win which you shouldn't then you make it. Now i do not mind people who are both undefeated and if they draw they each make top 8 and top 8 is next round then ok that i can understand. But to draw in round 2 for no reason and then knock people who have undefeated streaks out of top 8 over a mulligan is just wrong. I swear with all reads as my witness, if i go to a pro tour,ptq, grand pre, or any other huge event i will NEVER draw. i will earn my spot.

ahh, now i feel better (actually i don't but alas) onward to the draft. you ever opena rare that demands you full devotion? i did, pack 1 picks in order: nantuko shade, dark tutalge, reassembling skeleton, stormtide levithan, augry owl, foresee, viscera seer, .... pack 2 i first picked rise from gave and got passed mind control, assassinate, mind control, lillan's specter,lilian's specter, aether adept, aether adept..... and in pack 3 i got another skeleton, temple bell, bloodthron vampire, bloodthorn vampire, whispersilk, and such. so here is what my mind concocted

creatures:14
nantuko shade:1
stormtide leviathan:1
viscera seer:1
scroll theif:1
liliana's specter;2
augury owl:1
bloodthrone vampire:2
child of night:1
aether adept:2
reassembling skeleton:2

spells;10
dark tutalege:1
temple bell:1
mind control:2
sign in blood:1
assassinate:1
foresee:1
whispersilk cloak:1
corrupt:1
rise from grave:1

land:17
swamp:10
island:7

i know most people think the tutelage is not worth the effort but i disagree, with all the scry i had i only took 2 damage the whole entire time i had it out. in round one i slaughtered my opponent cause his deck was slow and he got out his air servant on 4 only to have me steal it on 5 and continue to pound him with it and my people, and in game 2 i just got off the shade and then the cloak and he had no answer to me equipping it so i just killed him with swamps. in round 2 i played against a mono-white deck that had ajani's matra on 2 both games so in game 1 i had to use the levithan to slow him down and pound his skull in, and in game two i used the vampire with cloak and the skeleton to deal 21 damage them 21 again next turn. In round 3 i found out about the draw situationa and found out that if i did not win i would be knocked out of top 8. so in game 1 i had to mulligan, auto lose. and in game 2 he had mana screw, so game 3 was our actual real game and he sqeaked out the win by stealing my leviathan and then throwing and ember hauler at me. to kill me. so for going 2/1/0 i got 10th place which sucks i swear we should do 4 round instead of 3 if more then 24 people come.
