There was a guy two seats to my right drafting all the BR rares. That guy went 0-2 drop.
Match 1: RW 2-0
Game 1:
Killed my opponent with Stab Wound on Midnight Guard.
Game 2:
My opponent tried to block my 4/4 Kird Chieftain with Oreskos Swiftclaw, and then use Crowd's Favor. I had 5 mana to pump my Chieftain to 6/6. So he died.
I got accidentally paired down at the beginning of round 2. I had to talk to the TO and tell him that I won my first match and that my round 2 opponent had lost his first match. I ended up getting paired against one of the people who drew.
Match 2: GW 1-2
Game 1:
I "curve" out into Kird Chieftain into Shadowcloak Vampire into Paragon of Open Graves. My opponent compliments me for topdecking a Forge Devil to kill his Toxivc Sliver.
Game 2:
Lost to Triplicate Spirits into Sanctified Charge
Game 3:
Lost to turn 2 Spirit Bonds into Sanctified Charge.
This guy ended up proceeding to go 2-0-1 (1st place).
Match 3: GW 0-2
Game 1:
Opponent got out turn 3 Yisan. For some reason I decided to sandbag creatures and just play Kird Chieftain, while my opponent would hopefully overextend, while I played Perilous Vault. Of course, my opponent has maindeck Pillar of Light, even though I only have two targets for it (Kird Chieftain with forest, and Nightfire Giant with mountain). I stumbled on mana, and did my math wrong, and died since I couldn't play Vault and live to untap.
Game 2:
Opponent got out turn 4 Yisan. I had a removal spell this time. It didn't matter, because I proceeded to draw NINE lands in a row (not kidding). He beats me to death with Phytotitan and Seraph of the Massses.
This guy ended up proceeding to go 2-0-1 (second place).
So apparently the draft pod had enough people to support three GW drafters.
Result: 1-2
What a miserable night.
Also earlier, there was a guy asking me if I had any trades. He looks through my binder and asks why I have Blood Baron of Vizkopa in my binder, since the value was gone way down. He sighs because he says he can't find what he's looking for. Then I ask him what he's looking for. He says he wants Burning-Tree Emissary and Stoke the Flames. I tell him I have Burning-Tree Emissary in my binder, then he criticizes me for putting Burning-Tree Emissary in my binder, because he thinks they are worthless. I trade him 4 Burning-Tree Emissary for 2 Yavimaya Coasts, but I end up feeling really annoyed because why the fuck is this guy making fun of the cards in my binder, when he's the one who needs the cards for a standard tournament at 7 p.m. Geez.
