I got three leftover packs from M13 in my collection so I decided to jump back and give it another go after a break from the format. I really liked the format and the cards so no problem there. Swiss wasn't launching in 20mins so I had to jump into a 4322 (as there were no one getting into the 84 either)
P1P1 Murder, passing Aven Squire
P1P2 Knight of Infamy, rare missing from the pack
P1P3 Murded, pass another Aven Squire and Incinerate
At this point I am like really stoked! Three awesome cards and it is clear that all the good black stuff will be coming to me in pack 3 also. It is a shame that the guy to my left is getting good staff for White exalted deck though... Pick 6 I hate draft Aven Squire because of that (and it was 3rd Aven I saw so far!!!)
P1P7 Evolving Wilds (I am open to all splashes at the moment)
wheel
P1P9 Ring of Xathrid
P1P10 Shade guy
P1P11 Prey Upon!!!! Now this is just silly!!! I am seriously considering picking up any green spells from now on.
P1 Last Pick: Crippling Blight!! Seriously? Someone picked a land and I get a last pick removal!
After pack 1 I am really committed to black and white, red and green splashes are open. Green preferred as Prey Upon is sweet and I have passed 2 Aven Squires while I also have one.
P2P1 Rancor, passing Public Exection & Trading Post - YAY GREEN!!
P2P2 Prey Upon
P2P3 Giant Scorpion, passing another Public Exection which is good but I already have removal and need to get more creatures and lower curve.
P2P5 I need to pass Void Stalker and pick Walking Corpse because od the curve issue.
After the wheel I still get Ravenous Rats, Spiked Baloth and Cover in Fear. Pretty good! I already have 23 playables!
P3P1 Centaur Courser, passing 2nd Void Stalker!
P3P5 Deadly Recluse, passing Flames of the Firebrand! This is nuts again! Someone gets pick6 bomb uncommon!!
And last pick Plummet! Another removal instead of basic land!! LOL

Yeah my deck was sweet! Really sweet! I easily go 2-0, 2-0 the first two rounds and face Boros deck in the finals. From the replays I see he has Thundermaw Hellkite and those Aven Squires I passed alongside aggressive creatures and low curve. He also happens to be a pro tour player... I lose straight 0-2. He outplays me and in game 2 I got a little flooded. Nice draft and nice games. The last round opponent was also really nice and we talked about drafting strategy and what kind of mistakes I made in the games. He was really helpful and nice.
