That’s an embarrassing first pack. Mindbreak Trap is not mentionable. Nor is Guul Draz. You did not mention Shortcutter, which is probably the best card along with Gear. Larva is miles better than Cobra Trap.

To RoninX – The actual reason why we do this is that we do not only show drafts that end in wins. Some people said they don’t like to know the outcome of a draft just by looking at the number of rounds displayed and we decided to always display 3 rounds to not give away the result to early.
Of course if you are curious you can always peek first at match 3….

LoL, I’m gonna try to play them out but depending on the deck a split is usually what’s best for you. I didn’t feel this deck to be extremely strong. Sometimes after a little scouting you can play it out but it’s better to have 6 packs than 4 or hypothetical 8.=)

Ouch. Don’t include a “show Round 3″ button if you split that is just cruel!

You’re absolutely right, it did matter with almost any combination of cards. My train of thought obviously didn’t include that second ability from Blazing Torch, and I was pretty much set up on Letargy trap.

Of course it matters, if the guy happened to have a second adventuring gear or happened to draft a fetchland he would have won the game when he shouldn’t.
