Black/Red – Light on creatures, heavy on removal. I hope my strong spells do the trick and carry the deck to victory.

Kind of all over the place today. But a sweet archangel should help get the job down, if all the control can keep me alive long enough.
September Experiment – Day 20
White was handed to me because my first picks were all white. I love how the deck came together afterwards.

No direction after pack 1 but Stormtide Leviathan showed up to give me hope.

Indulgent Tormentor + Burning Anger set me down the Black/Red path.

Phytotitan is big but fragile and has a funky ability. What do you make of it? Check out today’s practice deck.

Blue/Black control can bring home the bacon. This is my first attempt at drafting it so come tell me what you think.

Today’s real draft went sideways when I got distracted with an off color Planeswalker. What would you have done?

Tokens anyone?
Perhaps 5 Raise the Alarms is a bit much but I still wish this was a real draft so I could see how it plays out.

My first pick was Jorubai Murk Lurker and my second was Caustic Tar. From that point I decided to do Black/Blue control.
My thought was to control until I can draw the Caustic Tar as my win condition.

Jalira, Master Polymorphist keeps popping up.
She was my first pick in today’s practice draft and I tried to craft a deck with cheap creatures to use as fodder and some bigger creatures worth mophing into.

Today’s practice deck came together nicely.
It was pretty clear before pack one ended that I would be Green/White. My second pick was a Triplicate Spirits and I scoured a couple Dauntless River Marshals as well.
After pack one though it was clear I needed cheaper creatures. So I hunted those out and was rewarded in pack two.

I never really felt like today’s deck came together. I feel I ended up with a pile of good cards that lacked synergy. This is one of my biggest weaknesses and the one I am trying to overcome most.
In pack three I first picked a Jace, the Living Guildpact and second picked Jalira, Master Polymorphist. At that point I decided to get as much blue as I could.

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled was my first pick. I figured he’d be a good win condition so the rest of my picks were centered around him.
See what I did to support him here.

Today lacked a clear win condition. I didn’t draft any crazy cool bombs and am concerned with the power level of my deck.

I first picked a Hornet Nest and immediately decided I wanted Green/Red to take advantage of direct damage to the Hornet Nest. The idea of instant speed, flying deathtouchers is very appealing.

So today’s practice draft did not go as well as planned.
On pack one pick one I grabbed a Mind Sculpt. My thought process was, “if I get a Mind Sculpt in the first pack I can get a whole bunch as the draft goes on and just go straight mill. Furthermore, this is a practice draft so why the heck not?” I was hoping for 4 or 5 Mind Sculpts.

Day three of the September experiment didn’t feel so good. I felt like I drafted without a clear focus. See what I was able to put together and share your tips on drafting synergy decks.

During September I am going to draft everyday to see if I improve. Yesterday (September 1st) I drafted on MTGO and went 2-1. Sadly that was because the guys I beat conceded on the 2nd game of our match. Oh well.
