I was excited about it until I went 1-2 with a Twin/Sneak deck.

Lost match 1 1-2 basically to bad topdecks against a UB counter deck. Crushed match 2 against a bad BG ramp deck. Was crushed match 3 by mono-white. So... basically it's like my Vintage experience: draft fair decks that can do one or two broken things instead of broken decks.

Looking forward to your posts!

Just drafted this sweet mono-w death and taxes deck...

...and mulled to 5 or 6 every game.

Like, what's the point of playing curve-based decks if you're forced to keep 2-landers and not draw any lands a whole game, or you have to choose between mulling to 4 or keeping a 1-lander, or you average drawing 7 lands in a match?

Ugh and I was going infinite too :(

Oh wait still going infinite, just not as cushioned as I want to be.

BUT STILL mulling 6 of 7 games across 3 matches is stupid.

I *should* have mulled all my games here. Never drew a counterspell. Never had an artifact when I drew tinker. Tinker was in the same pack as Blightsteel Colossus... I also passed a Through the Breach followed by Emakrul.

Oh, and I didn't read Lion's Eye Diamond. Duh. Storm only.

I always end up picking Opposition and never having any creatures.

Is this actually a deck?
1 x Baneslayer Angel
1 x Kuldotha Forgemaster
1 x Spellskite
1 x Tinker
1 x Phyrexian Revoker
1 x Sower of Temptation
1 x Myr Battlesphere
1 x Inkwell Leviathan

1 x Force of Will
1 x Daze
1 x Impulse
1 x Brainstorm
1 x Path to Exile
1 x Swords to Plowshares
1 x Enlightened Tutor
1 x Fact or Fiction
1 x Cryptic Command
1 x Journey to Nowhere
1 x Mana Tithe

1 x Sensei's Divining Top
1 x Azorius Signet
1 x Lion's Eye Diamond
1 x Pentad Prism
1 x Selesnya Signet
1 x Simic Signet

1 x Glacial Fortress
7 x Plains
7 x Island

//Sideboard
1 x Silverblade Paladin
1 x Mystic Snake
1 x Unexpectedly Absent
1 x Control Magic

Just ruined my infinite spree and lost 50 points in my player rankings going 0-3 with a decent BG deck that I managed to drunkenly punt every game. :(

That was a wierd one (vintage cube).
I P1P1 Library and then some random blue cards. I jumped into Red because I didn't see any combo or ramp action. But the guy across from me jumped at the same time, so we split the burn deck. :( I had the eidolon, goblin guide, firedriker, 4 burn spells, he had swiftspear, jackal pup, chandra, koth. I filled out my deck with white, him with blue.

Sort of a funny match, although with the life gain I had the clear edge.
Game 1 I beat a chandra ultimate after Burning Xingu (or whatever it is). I had Ajani out vs. his empty board, so he had to copy Fire//Ice 3 times to 5 me and 1 Ajani, rather than treasure cruise or ancestral visions to draw 9. Lucky for me when he blew up lands 1-4, I had 5th out and 2 in hand and drew just enough action.

Game 1 I actually beat a doubled ancestral visions (draw 6!) off the flash/copy guy... because I had T1 Library of Alexandria. I almost lost that game early tempo-ing myself out by drawing cards. He had swiftspear/pup/guttersnipe out with me at 5, but I had bolt and helix to stabilize and STILL got to draw off library.
