So I did try to run a couple drafts on cockatrice. First one I ended up with some RW "pump" monstrosity but it wasn't very good.

This second attempt was better:
2 x Sphere of the Suns
1 x Wayfarer's Bauble
1 x Expedition Map
1 x Everflowing Chalice
1 x Alloy Myr


1 x Skyreach Manta
1 x Rusted Relic
1 x Blinding Souleater
1 x Gust-Skimmer
1 x Gnarlid Pack
1 x Runed Servitor
1 x Battlegrace Angel
1 x Dragonsoul Knight
1 x Hellkite Charger
1 x Apocalypse Hydra
1 x Horde of Notions

1 x Burst Lightning
1 x Oblivion Ring
1 x Tribal Flames
1 x Fiery Fall
1 x Vengeful Rebirth
1 x Agony Warp

1 x Swamp
2 x Plains
6 x Forest
6 x Mountain
2 x Island

I first picked the big red dragon and pretty early was leaning 5 color. I
I lost a pretty close match to UW affinity, I did have lethal on board in game 3 but forgot Rebirth went to the face. He had a counterspell anyway.

I found it really hard to balance the artifact fixing with just having enough bodies. Not sure if Rusted Relic works here at all but I was maindecking 9 other artifacts. I think I should have run the 2nd servitor and maybe skimmer or husk, but I basically am going to have trouble winning without all 5 lands out. I think I could have also taken a couple Evolving Wilds. My opponent thought I should play the Smokebraiders, but I took the first one without realize it was only fixing/ramp for elementals. So the are great with Horde, but otherwise...

Thoughts?

We drafted the RW pump deck. It was complete trash, but it was hilarious and we won anyway. Our entire creature base was four double strike dudes and two Bloodshot Trainee.

I drafted a better version of the RW pump deck the other day and it seems good when people try to use their instants as instants.

Still bleh though.
