It’s impressive that you were able to do that with relatively few mistakes. Also kudos on keeping a good running narrative while the cards were not going your way in the second match.

I definitely learned something about drafting.

Nice you moved your ass to work for a public magic site, but I’d like to see some written articles, too :)

Everyone has different drafting styles, and I tend to steer clear of cards that force you into a color. That may not always be correct, and might even be something I should work on, but that’s why I don’t take Pestilence Demon in the first pack. I take Heat Ray there because it’s a card I can splash for and never really be upset with taking. I explain in the draft that staying open is important, but the key is finding a balance between staying open and sticking to what you’ve got. And that’s what makes drafting so challenging.

I will definately pick it up if I see it in a draft now. Also, I don’t really understand picking heat ray first, I get that removal is important and that you always need at least some to be able to compete, but to pick it pack 1 pick 1 over some pretty big bombs?
Seemed to work out though…

I just got a new mic and thought that would take care of the issue. Apparently I need to work on that issue still.
