In this draft I got a very mixed signal with a fourth pick Compulsive Research, because there were no Blue cards following it. After pack one I was hoping to be able to stay Green Blue and get rewarded in Dissension. Unfortunately, I stayed Green Blue and didn't get much in Dissension at all. I ended up losing in the second round to Mattias Jorstedt's aggressive Black White Red deck, since he drew his mana well both games.
Until tomorrow,
Rich
