Recently, my friends and I decided to do a three-pack draft. The one stipulation of the draft was, however, is that each participant was not limited to one specific set or block. All six of us brought all different packs and then drafted with those. The packs I had brought to the draft were Saviors of Kamigawa (In hindsight Champions would’ve been better), Future Sight and Darksteel.
I am normally a very unlucky person when it comes to opening packs, so of course my rares were as follows:
Darksteel: Shunt
Future Sight: Nix
Saviors: Scroll of Origins (I almost tore this card to shreds on sight)
Now, I kept shunt so it could be possibly useful to redirect a kill or draw spell, but dropped the other two.
I decided to start the game by drafting blue, but I later expanded to white. I also saw a lot of red bouncing around, so I picked up a bunch of nice burn spells like Carbonize, Searing Blaze and Forked Lightning. I also got a Journey to Nowhere and a Lumithread Field, both of which helped me a lot. The Field wasted my opponent’s kill spells and gave my creatures a nice little boost.
The first round went very well for me. I played a Neurok Commando and my removal kept my hand fresh. The second round went rather poorly, with my first game being lost to a Vampiric Link. The second game gave me no lands, and it was a downhill battle from there.
To rub salt in the wound, the winner’s pack had a Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas in it.
