I had a slight headache. I went to Versus Games to draft at 1 pm and 4 pm.
Draft 1:
P1P1: Abzan Battle Priest over Jeskai Ascendancy.
P2P1: Murderous Cut over Howl of the Horde.
P3P1: Took some card over Mardu Ascendancy.
Passed a couple of kill shots. Passed one Kill Shot for Woolly Loxodon, passed the other Kill Shot for mana fixing.

Person on my right was Abzan. Person on his right was also Abzan. wtf. Person on my left was Temur.
Match 1: 5 color Jeskai Ascendancy
Game 1:
Lost to Jeskai Ascendancy and Feat of Resistance and Hordeling Outburst. Sweet.
Game 2:
Lost to Jeskai Ascendandy and Feat of Resistance and Take Up Arms and Ride Down. Sweet.
Match 2: Temur (2-0)
Game 1:
I blow my opponent out when he goes for Savage Punch on my Abzan Battle Priest, because I play Smite the Monstrous to kill his Alpine Grizzly. He plays Icy Blast with Ferocious but I still win.
Game 2:
He plays Icy Blast with Ferocious but I still win. I have Abzan Battle Priest and Ainok Bond-kin and Armament Corps and Abzan Guide. boyksValue
Match 3: Abzan splash red (2-1)
Game 1:
This game gets kinda grindy but I manage to win thanks to 7/7 Kin-Tree Invocation token and 6/7 Woolly Loxodon, and Dragonscale Boon for lethal when I swing out.
Game 2:
Lost to turn 3 Tuskguard Captain into turn 4 Brave the Sands. My opening was just way too slow.
Game 3:
I got punished for playing Murderous Cut on my opponent's Woolly Loxodon EOT. I should have waited until my turn, and used Rite of the Serpent to kill it. Then my opponent played Rush of Battle into Become Immense when I blocked his Krumar Bond-kin with my 4/3 Ainok Bond-kin, so he gained 19 life because he attacked with his Krumar Bond-kin and Bellowing Saddlebrute. That sucked. Of course he kills me with Crater's Claw when he's at 19 life. I think he would have been dead if I had saved Murderous Cut in response to Become Immense.
Result: 1-2
The salt is real. Fortunately, the first draft ended right just as the draft 2 started.
Draft 2:
P1P1: Took Ghostfire Blade over Mardu Charm and Hordeling Outburst.
P1P2: Got passed Flying Crane Technique.
P2P1: Passed Villainous Wealth.
P3P1: Took Ride Down over Narset.

Match 1: Jeskai (1-2)
Played against the same guy from Match 3 last draft.
Game 1:
My opponent has a TON of tricks (double Temur Charm, and Winterflame) and kills me with Crater's Claw.
Game 2:
Win even though it was still a close game, thanks to Ghostfire Blade and Ride Down and Waterwhirl.
Game 3:
Lost to Crater's Claw, when I had him DOB next turn. Gah.
Update: I realize I punted during one of these games, when I had face-down Mystic of the Hidden Way and face-down Glacial Stalker in hand. I equipped Ghostfire Blade to my face-down Glacial Stalker, and he popped a Scaldkin. I had mana to flip up my Glacial Stalker in response, but I didn't, probably because I forgot Glacial Stalker costs 5 to flip.
Match 2: Jeskai (2-0)
Game 1:
My opponent has turn 2 Jeskai Elder and all the tricks. Of course, I eventually manage to outclass his guys with my creatures.
Game 2:
This game was a lost closer. With my opponent playing turn 2 Jeskai Elder again, and then turn 6 Riverwheel Aerialists. Using Set Adrift, Waterwhirl, and Treasure Cruise into Force Away and Flying Crane Technique, I win.
Match 3: Temur (1-2)
Game 1:
Kept a 1 lander on a mull to 6, proceed to die because I can't draw two more lands. I should have mulled to 5 IMO.
Game 2:
Won thanks to flyers. I bounced his guy with Force Away in response to Savage Punch, and time walked him.
Game 3:
Lost to Dragonscale Boon and Burn Away and double Hordeling Outburst.
