Nice draft and grats on your finish. I'd argue that the late sentinel sliver in p1 was a sign that both white and slivers were open early. I can understand the hesitation, as I'm not a fan of white aggro or slivers - unless they're open....in which case they can be quite good (sort of like giants in MM). The very late banishers, master of diversions, and bonesythe sliver were arguably confirmation of that - but you already covered that in the video. Pack 3 is probably too late, but I think very early pack 2 or very late pack 1 is decent for switching if you're seeing strong signals. Of course, others may have picked up on the signals at the same time, and there's always a risk of multiple people rushing into the same color / deck. Still, W aggression is very playable with both your existing U and R. You saw strong early cards for red and U in packs 2 and 3, so it didn't matter too much. Actually, I was very surprised to see that W was left open for so long. I can (sort of) see master of diversions going that late, but banisher priest is an amazing card in nearly every archetype. It really reminded me of drafting paper magic instead of doing 8-4s online. Either everyone became overly-committed to colors, or the playerbase is weaker in the large events (which is true I suppose). Anyways, it was just very strange to watch. And of course, with the exception of an awkward curve and lack of 1/2 drops (which is a rather prevalent problem in M14 outside black), the deck came together nicely. And you can't argue with results, and a top 8 finish is quite good.
