I didn't get much sleep last night. I went to bed around 2 am, and woke up at 8 am. I couldn't sleep in any longer.
I went over to Versus Games to get some M15 practice before the GPT M15 sealed at D20 games on Sunday morning.
Deck:
P1P1: Chandra, Pyromaster. DING
P2P1: Took Juggernaut over Altac Bloodseeker and Battlefield Forge.
P2P3: Got passed a Spirit Bonds. Huh.
P2P8: Got passed a Preeminent Captain. I know it's not that good in draft, but really.
P3P1: Took Haunted Platemail over Stoke the Flames.
P3P4: Took Triplicate Spirits over Lightning Strike
I make a mistake and pick a 3rd Goblin Roughrider over 1st Scrapyard Mongrel, forgetting I had Juggernaut and Haunted Platemail. I end up getting passed two more Goblin Roughriders.

Only 13 creatures, but Triplicate Spirits makes 3 Spirit Tokens, and Spirit Bonds can generate Spirit tokens if I have more nontoken creatures to play. I could have probably dropped the Marked by Honor for a creature full time.
I think it was wrong to not play the Rummaging Goblin over Marked by Honor. There were plenty of times I flooded out and having a filter card would have helped. My first and second match were pretty grindy.
Match 1: GB Dredge (2-1)
Game 1:
I won this game because my opponent didn't block my Razorfoot Griffin with his Carrion Crow. He was at 9 life, I was attacking with a 4/2 Krenko's Enforcer and a Razorfoot Griffin, he was tapped out (mana). I then cast Sanctified Charge for lethal.
Game 2:
Lost to Will-Forged Golem + Siege Wurm.
Game 3:
Won because my opponent didn't get any black mana. I played Chandra, Pyromaster into Sungrace Pegasus with Inferno Fist and Krenko's Enforcer. I exiled Triplicate Spirits with Chandra and closed the game out with Sanctified Charge.
Match 2: UB Bounce (1-2)
Game 1:
I get turn 2 Spirit Bonds, but this game ends up super grindy anyways, with my opponent having a ton of bounce spells, plus an Accursed Spirit with Eternal Thirst. I manage to draw into Inferno Fist to kill his Accursed Spirit. Then he bounces my Spirit Bonds with Void Snare and plays Illusory Angel. I quadruple block the Angel with 4 spirit tokens. He gets a Blood Host up to 5/5 with sacrificing (including sacrificing a Black Cat during my draw step to make me discard a Paragon of Fierce Defiance). Eventually I win off flying creatures, though.
Game 2:
I killed his Blood Host with Heat Ray, then lost to Shadowcloak Vampire + Eternal Thirst cheese.
Game 3:
I got an early beat with Borderland Marauder, but my opponent played turn 2 Bronze Sable (which I killed with Inferno Fist) and turn 3 Coral Barrier. I wasted my Heat Ray killing his Coral Barrier when he double-blocked. Of course, then turn 5 he plays Shadowcloak Vampire, into turn 8 Shadowcloak Vampire. I get Spirit Bonds online but it's not enough.
This game ended up going to time. I end up conceding turn 4 because he had me DOB.
Match 3: UG Ensoul (2-1)
Game 1:
I manage to beat him down with flyers/Krenko's Enforcer, despite the fact that he has Void Snare and Frost Lynx. I Inferno Fist his Paragon of Gathering Mists and Heat Ray his Amphin Pathmage.
Game 2:
Kept a sketchy hand, my first play was Paragon of Fierce Defiance. I had Chandra in hand as well but it didn't matter.
My opponent played turn 2 Sacred Armory into turn 3 Ensoul Artifact. Ugh.
Game 3:
I open with Borderland Marauder into Midnight Guard into Forge Devil to kill his Bronze Sable. He plays Into the Void bouncing two of my guys. I play a Spirit Bonds into Goblin Roughrider kicking for a spirit token. I manage to kill him before he's able to draw into Aetherspouts (thank god).
Result: 2-1 in matches, 5-3 in games. 2 booster packs.
I think I should have played another creature, and it probably should have been Rummaging Goblin. I was trying to not play any 1 toughness guys (besides Triplicate Spirit tokens) to avoid Forge Devil blowouts.
