This draft was pretty ugly because I had so much trouble deciding on my colors. When pack two started I was fairly certain I was going to play Green, but unsure about my other color. Then I got the two Tendrils, so I knew I was playing Black, but wasn't sure if I was pairing it with Blue or Green. I eventually decided on Blue because it had more synergy with my Black cards.

Round 1 I played against a mediocre White/Green/Red deck. Game 1 I fell behind early, but got lucky to pull ahead when my Erratic Mutation took out his Brute Forced Watcher Sliver without any help. From there I was able to Suspend Aeon Chronicler for 4 and Teachings for the two Tendrils. Game 2 he stalled on lands and I got to Enslave the Baloth he suspended turn 1.

Round 2 I played one of my nemeses: "Fob." Game 1 he played Psychotic Episode on turn 3, seeing a bunch of mediocre cards including an Aquamorph Entity. Two turns later I drew Slipstream Eel, and played that as my first morph so that he'd think it was the Entity. That plan worked well as he eventually put a 2/2 in front of my second morph, which was of course the Entity. Game 2 I discovered that he was missing a color in game 1. For the first six turns or so we traded creatures and removal. Eventually he played a Smallpox, which left the board at his Urborg Syphon-Mage to my lands. From there, I significantly outdrew him, and eventually Enslaved his Magus of the Coffers for the win.

Until tomorrow,

Rich
