p1p1 I like Knollspine more than Jaws, but I'm sure there will be some who disagree.
p1p2 I know, I love Ember Gale. So sue me.
p3p1 Liege versus Puncture Blast is pretty close here, since I'm both colors of the Liege. The problem with this deck is that it needed more ways to actually win, so I went with the creature.
The draft didn't go so well, as I wasn't really passed too much in the way of good cards. I'm not sure what else I could've done either.
The only questionable thing in deckbuilding was whether or not to run Banishing Knack.
Round 1 I played against GR. Game 1 I got pummelled as he curved out with Assailant, Safehold Elite, Farhaven Elf, and Scuzzback Marauders. My draw couldn't possibly keep up, and he even Double Cleaved for the win. Game 2 I mulliganed on the play and got stuck on two lands.
Until tomorrow...
