A Winston Draft
I really enjoy Winston Draft. It’s has a very different feel than a standard booster draft. I like the 1-1 competition. A friend and I did a Winston with some Zendikar boosters. for the first half of the drafting I was thinking of going UW. Then, about half way though, the black cards started showing up, and I started moving into black. The black kept coming off the pile, as did some more juicy blue cards. I ended up strongly in UB … with a surprise (for my friend) mise. Here’s my list:

The 2 Teetering Peaks are a total mise, and were responsible for a Kraken Hatchling doing 4 points of early game damage (2nd and 3rd turn on the back of a turn 1 Hatchling). Explorer’s Scope was handy in smoothing out the color mix. In fact, in one game it was my only source of Swamps.
Other good plays included grasping a Timbermaw Larva (with him having 3 forests in play), as well as canceling a Tanglesap to set up a lethal attach next turn.
