02/21/09 draft
I had a fairly good draft today. A first pick Battlegrace Angel pretty much set my colors. After that the white flowed freely into my pile of cards along with generous amounts of other Bant cards. I ended up with the following:

I didn’t keep notes, so not much here.
Round 1 was against a nasty, removal heavy jund deck. Game 1 was pretty quick with me taking a loss. Blightning was involved. Game 2 went long, with Battlegrace Angel gaining me some life. I went on to take the win. Game 3 was similar. We went into turns before my opponent finally scoped them up with me ahead by 8 life.
Round 2 was against a Naya deck packing Where Ancients Tread. Game 1 was pretty even, with me starting early and chipping away at her life total. Once she got online my life started dropping in big chunks. She was at 4 when she took my final 3. Game 2 was fairly quickly mine, aided by a lack of forests on my opponent’s board. Lots of exaltation mean I was swinging unblocked for 6 per turn. Likewise, game 3 was decisive, with Battlegrace Angel coming online and jumping my life a couple times to 30, while eating away at hers.
Round 3 was very sad. I was up against a BR deck full of Gryxis nastiness. Flyers, unearthers, ugh. Games were over pretty quickly. Martial Coup did a nice job of clearing the board and buying me a few turns.. alas, to no avail in the end.
