I didn't take it to screw you really

I don't know if you did or not, but I figured I'd have all the ridiculously big creatures to myself other than Darksteel Colossus and/or Inkwell Leviathan, at least one of which I expected Jatill to take after taking Tinker. I saw Progenitus go early, and while I probably would've taken it, I wasn't too concerned. I've still got a pretty hefty list of creatures in-colour I can pick from, and even off-colour ones if I really need, like akromas or Sphinx of the Steel Wind. (which I don't mind saying because if I actually pick those, it means that someone took about fifteen in-colour fatties I'm eyeing before those!) Based on the cards you had taken earlier, I was absolutely shocked to see you take any of those three picks, much less all three of them, though I wouldn't have taken Sneak Attack or Show and Tell anyway, as I want to stick to two colours if possible.

Well so far I haven't taken a win-con so that's what I'm building up now.

The Show and Tell / Sneak Attack package was a surprise to me as well. They are fine choices; just surprising given that you drafted so many white cards already. Looks like Cognis won't be the only person drafting red cards after all.

This is really an interesting draft; it's hard for me to look away

I am not throwing away all my white picks dude . I am playing white.

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.

I was seriously counting on Show and Tell coming back; I was going to take it this round. Also, I would have taken Emrakul the following round. Time for plan C! That's the fun part of these drafts, right?

Not sure if anyone else is thinking the same thing but its becoming woefully apparent that i've made some drafting mistakes
