This was one of those rare drafts where I ended up with Red as my main color. Usually it's a splash color, or one of three main colors in the Red White Black archetype, which makes casting Viashino Fangtail problematic. Red was somewhat underdrafted so I got some slow but powerful rares in Hammerfist Giant and Stalking Vengeance later than usual. I got fairly lucky in the third pack getting a lot of removal later than I would expect it. I went 3-0 in the draft, nearly losing the second round when I activated my Hammerfist Giant, thinking it would kill my Living Inferno and my opponent would take 17 from Stalking Vengeance, but the Inferno has five toughness, and I had to use it to kill itself next turn after going to two life from his fliers.

Until tomorrow,

Rich
