Well That Sucked
Magic draft tonight. Onslaught block - our first time drafting that block. We had 8 players.
And I had probably the worst draft I ever had. A green/black deck with big creatures and not enough stuff to let me survive to get them out.
I got kinda screwed because the first pack there seemed to be plenty of green and black going around, so I thought I was in great shape. Then the second pack had no black - because the guy on my left was filtering it out - and the green was very mediocre. And the third pack had no black - because the guy on my right was filtering it out - so I ended up with big expensive creatures and not enough removal and no real combat tricks. I got completely run over in both matches I played, so I bailed after that since I wasn’t having any fun playing.
I should have ended up in green/blue, since there was a huge amount of blue going around. But not in the first pack, so I assumed one or both players on my right were in blue. (They were actually in red/black and red/blue.)
I feel like my drafting ability is going backwards - both of my last two drafts have been awful - and I don’t know how to get better at it. It sucks.
