I had to use the bathroom for #2 during the draft but i was forced to befoul myself as I had no way to bring my computer into the bathroom. I was determined to win after this since i did not want it to be for nothing.

DRAFT RECAP:

I GOT:
Mythics:
Time Reversal
Sorin Markoff

Rares:
Flameblast Dragon
Glacial Fortress
goblin Warcheif
Grand Abolisher
Honor of the Pure
Jace's archivist
Quicksilver Amulet
Redirect
Garruk's horde
Sundial of the infinite
Rites Of Flourishing
Monomania

Foils:

Wall Of Torches
Arachnus Web

MATCH 1:
Game 1:

I used a white-blue-red deck that had flameblast dragon, a bunch of white creatures, honor of the pure, and then blue for counters and levitation. I got the honor of the pure and my white creatures out early, and then drew levitation and my creatures flew over him and killed him.

Game 2: He only drew two swamps and I got a creaure and kept attacking. he was at 7 when he got another land but i mana leaked his creature and he immediatly forfeited.

MATCH 2:
Game 1:
He had a green red deck that had a creature-based strategy. I countered some of his creatures but he got too many out and eventually used overrun to kill me. the game took like 20 minutes because he too forever to do stuff.

game 2: we both got a ton of creatures out and no one could really get through. he used overrrun but i got flashfreeze so i countered it. He ended up running out of time on his clock and I won since he took like 30 seconds everytime it was his turn to do something.

Match 3: He had a black deck with call to the grave and a lot of zombies. He also had red damage spells.

game 1:
I got a lot of counters and flameblast dragon in my hand, but no mountains, so i kept countering stuff with mana leaks and such. He got call to the grave and then i was forced to sacrifice my dragon. He played more creatures and killed me

Game 2: he mulliganed three times but only had one land and i got serra angel and honor of the pure out and he conceded.

Game three:
he went first but had only mountains and no swamps. i got a griffin rider + griffin and attacked early before he drew a swamp and i won.

What do you guys think

I think this one started off like crap.

Report rules violations.

So lets take a deeper look at your matches.

Match 1:
(1) Drew your bomb, beat for win.
(2) He got manascrewed

Match 2:
(1) Guy beats you with his bomb
(2) Guy times out.

Match 3:
(1) Drew a pile of removal, lose to damage.
(2) Guy gets manascrewed
(3) Guy gets manascrewed

So you won four games because your opponents whiffed on luck, including a match you probably would have lost.

1 honor of the pure
1 flameblast dragon
5 mana leak/ dispel/ flashfreeze in some combination
1 Serra angle
1 jace archivist
1 benalish veteran
1 Belltower sphinx
1 that 3/3 drake that gives stuff flying
1 the 3/1 that can't block w/o flying
1 levitation
1 2/4 vanilla blue guy for 3 and island.
1 2/1 lifelink giver Mage
1 griffin rider
1 2/4 first strike flying griffin

9 plains
2 mountain
6 island
1 glacial fortress

> Flameblast is 4RR, so you MUST draw both mountains to even cast it?

1 honor of the pure

> I count six white creatures. That's a bit low, really.

1 flameblast dragon

> Pretty much your best card, but very unsplashable.

5 mana leak/ dispel/ flashfreeze in some combination
1 Serra angle
1 jace archivist
1 benalish veteran
1 Belltower sphinx
1 that 3/3 drake that gives stuff flying
1 the 3/1 that can't block w/o flying

1 levitation

> Most of your threats fly anyway... This would have been stronger, probably, if you were U/R.

1 2/4 vanilla blue guy for 3 and island.
1 2/1 lifelink giver Mage
1 griffin rider

> Not all that great when you have so few griffins.

1 2/4 first strike flying griffin

Or something like that. I always build my deck around whatever rare I get first pack and I got honor of the pure.

That's not necessarily the greatest strategy if you want to win mroe drafts. I can say with full confidence that my P1P1 in drafts only makes it into my decks roughly 60% of the time - just so happens that my Pack 1 seems to suck all the time and I get better cards from P1P2-P1P5 in different colors.
