[grinnin]

Its funny how black weenie/fattie is kind of the last deck I ever thought I'd make./ Since drafting that fist mox jet I figured I might as well make something useful out of it. I'm definitely a control/combo player but in this kind of draft the chance of going down that road and ending up with a playable deck is almost nil. I thought the guy in the article had a great idea of messaging early on w/ necro to walk a particular line, and if you can back it up with a plan b (artifact fatties) I might have something that can work out.


Anyway this is the first draft i've ever participated in (I dont really like limited formats) and I gotta say I love how you're forced to build outside of your comfort zone

[juzamjedi]

I am going back offline in a few minutes. I will PM my next 3 draft picks to NicDanger (he's not even in my colors so shouldn't be a problem).

[aww1979]

Hmm... again, I don't think Cognis or Nicdanger will take the same green cards I will, other than lands perhaps, so...

The Abyss
Hymn to Tourach
Phyrexian Arena

[grinnin]

damn you aww1979!

[juzamjedi]

Thoughtseize
Treachery
Sower of Temptation

NicDanger is up.

[Nicdanger]

Sorry for the delay.

Ajani Goldmane
Crucible of Worlds
Oblivion Ring

Monopoman is up.

[grinnin]

Is condemn in constructed? Do I not have the most updated version?

[Nicdanger]

Well piss, no its not. I'll grab something else in a minute.

[monopoman]

I will take

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
Sneak Attack
Show and Tell

[aww1979]

damn you aww1979!

Hehe, now we are all screwing each other. I'd been thinking of Thoughtseize (which I didn't really need) and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (which I didn't think anyone would take). Fortunately, there are dozens of fatties that will work as well.

[monopoman]

I didn't take it to screw you really
