So, how about something different? I'll post here the packs as they came to me today, and you can all try your hand at drafting them. Then we can compare our pack one efforts, and go on with pack two, or just look at the rest of the packs and where I finished up.

Pack 1 pick 1

Pack 1 pick 2

Pack 1 pick 3

Pack 1 pick 4

Pack 1 pick 5

Pack 1 pick 6

Pack 1 pick 7

Pack 1 pick 8

Pack 1 pick 9

Pack 1 pick 10

Pack 1 pick 11

Pack 1 pick 12

Pack 1 pick 13

Pack 1 pick 14

Pack 1 pick 15


I don't have the time to post my picks now, will do so sometime tomorrow.

So far I like my picks compared to the 3 above, but they are still not optimal.

This is what I did online:
my picks


A solid start. Need some spells, but the creature base is looking great. Made me regret my first pick, but that's drafting.

Pack 2 pick 1

Pack 2 pick 2

Pack 2 pick 3

Pack 2 pick 4

Pack 2 pick 5

Pack 2 pick 6

Pack 2 pick 7

Pack 2 pick 8

Pack 2 pick 9

Pack 2 pick 10

Pack 2 pick 11

Pack 2 pick 12

Pack 2 pick 13

Pack 2 pick 14

Pack 2 pick 15

Yeah, Aven/Kirin first pick is still better than my Sandcrafter Mage/Ojutai's Summons decision. At least you are only abandoning an Aven... yesterday I P1P1 Dromoka's Command only to play UB.

I am going to put 2 picks if they are different between us:
Spoiler

Hmm... This pack wasn't awesome. I am even split 3 colors. "Bail Me out Fate Reforged".. although the red is reasonable splashable.

Ojutai Exemplars
Glaring Aegis
Vulturous Aven
Great Teacher's Decree
Defeat
Sibsig Icebreakers
Hand of Silumgar
Reckless Imp
Conifer Strider
Commune with Lava
Territorial Roc
Glaring Aegis
Magmatic Chasm
Magmatic Chasm
Swamp[/spoiler]

Pretty close with Shazzeh, the only meaningful difference being me taking Hand over Herald of Dromoka pick seven. Herald is probably better, since I'm building aggro, and deathtouch is not so important on a guy that dies to any blocker anyway.

Anyway, we've diverged from my picks, so I'll just post the final deck:
Image

Got two good spells from FRF, and a thing that I cut out of the picture by mistake: Silumgar, the Drifting Death. I decided to splash it, just for laughs, off two duals. And sometimes the rush doesn't work out, any just imagine the surprise when the big bad finisher hits.

I went 2-1, lost a game three after keeping a two-lander and never seeing a third land, dying on turn ten with seven cards in hand, including a lethal Harsh Sustenance. Won the other two, not really close. My favourite was returning an Aegis with the Statue and replaying it on the Kirin, tapping their only flier and swining for lethal.

Looks like my UB path would have gotten a nice Fate Reforged bomb! Be curious to see pack 3.

This was a really fun exercise! I enjoyed drafting these 1st 2 packs and would like to draft the 3rd so i can build my fake deck and compare with the rest of you guys.

PACK 1
Spoiler

PACK 2
Spoiler


This was fun you should do this again.


Now that i've went back and looked, I'm surprised to see i was the only Green drafter in the thread.
I went black but abandoned after the p5 enduring victory. I feel like i drafted my seat correctly when the late P7 and P8 beastbreakers came around. With triple Elkheard, 2 Beastbreakers, and 1 Dragon-Scarred bear, Having 6 of the top 4 commons creatures in green from Dragons. It felt like the color to be drafting at our seat.

I drafted green too, but I got started late. 3x elkherd is a beating, and there may have been a few hunt the weaks (we know there was a stance) in pack 3.

Dragon-Scarred Bear is just a guy though.

What Green did you take? it looked like you were B/W Warriors
And Dragon-Scarred Bear is more than a so-called guy.
he wins 1st prize for having a sweet name,
and i put him higher up than just a guy Filler. but that's one mans evaluation

but yes Hell yeah a Stance is just what the deck needed, i predict 0-1 cause i lose to all 5 drops in my hand. oh well try again
