I split the finals of this draft after two fairly easy rounds because I drew my mana well and had Loxodon Gatekeeper on turn 3 or 4 a couple of times. The second pack was a bit disappointing, and it took me a little too long to figure out what my main two colors were, so the deck probably could have been better.

Until tomorrow,

Rich
