various misplays, but at least the draft part has been done well IMO
I really don’t feel hoarding dragon is that good of a pick considering how deep of a commitment you have to put in red. Red’s just not that deep in m11 and there’s tons of removal to deal with your dragon too. Corrupt would’ve been the pick imo and black seemed pretty open throughout.
There were multiple times you forgot to use the Maze… You could have saved a lot of damage. And in the last game of round 3, you could have chumped all the ground guys and only taken 2 from one crusader and waited another turn to wrath, which probably would have gotten him to play the sun titan into it.
Thanks for the draft. It was entertaining. You have very different card valuations from me, so the draft went differently from how I would have gone with it. I liked how open you stayed with the first pack. That said, I think your deck ended up a little underpowered. It seemed like you were really lucky to beat your round two opponent (you played well too, but his draw last game was much worse than the other two).
Nice work Snow! I like Act of Treason a lot, over Expanse here.
