Old School Drafting
Over the holidays 3 of us did some old school drafting. A 3-man draft was somewhat odd, but great fun. Following the draft we played a few multiplayer games.
We drafted Onslaught, Tempest, and Ravnica blocks. Through Onslaught & Tempest things went back & forth between us.
What I remember most is the Ravnica draft. We all got some nice cards. I ended up playing 4 color.. having picked most of the signets and a shock land. Jerry had to go so we only had time for one game. Things went into a stalemate early on and stayed that way for some time. Early on I milled Jerry for a few cards with Psychic Drain. Late in the game, with all 3 of our life totals close to 20, I played a Kill-Suit Cultist and enchanted it with Ocular Halo to let me draw an extra card in my upkeep. This let me dig for something to turn the game in my favor. And that’s exactly what happened. My turn… draw in my upkeep thanks to the Cultist… Izzet Guildmage… draw for my turn… Glimpse the Unthinkable… and that was the game. I played the Guildmage. Then I played Glimpse, targeting Jerry (who had 6 cards in in library), and copied it twice with the Guildmage, targeting Thomas (who had 20 cards in his library) with the two copies. Pass turn… GG.
