Decided to jump the train and do an 8-4, rarely run those since I'm not confident enough that I'll make it to the finals. This time I think the draft and my deck worked out quite nicely. I got 1-0 in the first game with gas to spare and then Modo goes nuts on me and before I can log in again, I've been timed out.

Maniacal Rage
Brackwater Elemental
Scornful Æther-Lich (FOIL)
Jhessian Zombies

Nothing worthwhile in Jund, colossal might does not make it as 2nd pick, the O Ring is o so good.

Esper Panorama
Skeletal Kathari
Lush Growth
Yoked Plowbeast
Cancel
Aven Squire
--> Armillary Sphere
Pestilent Kathari
Sigiled Behemoth
Singe-Mind Ogre

Esper cards. Here's a squire if I want to lean into white but I take fixing now so that I won't have to worry about it later.

Excommunicate
Cylian Elf
Cathartic Adept
Obelisk of Esper
--> Deadshot Minotaur
Deft Duelist
Toxic Iguanar
Worldly Counsel
Godtracker of Jund
Unbender Tine

More blue. Cylian Eld and minotaur, minotaur is semi-removal and has a better body.

Soul's Fire
Bant Panorama
Rakeclaw Gargantuan
Undead Leotau
Gift of the Gargantuan
Canyon Minotaur
Unsummon
Jhessian Zombies
Vectis Dominator
--> Topan Ascetic
Forest
Rakeclaw, minotaur and Ascetic. Soul's Fire might be the pick if you want an insurance, as I've heard it called. I opt to take the ascetic since it never disappoints me. I haven't decided on wether or not to play white yet so I take it easy.

Pack 1 pick 6:
Dregscape Zombie
Gustrider Exuberant
--> Firewild Borderpost
Jungle Weaver
Goblin Deathraiders
Obelisk of Jund
Constricting Tendrils
Suicidal Charge
Dreadwing

More fixing. I considered both the zombie and the gobbo but though that 2-drops would come in the following packs as well.

Pack 1 pick 7:
Thorn-Thrash Viashino
Shore Snapper
Architects of Will
Hindering Light
--> Beacon Behemoth
Kranioceros
Faerie Mechanist
Grixis Sojourners

Bacon is nice to have, 1 or 2 at least.

Pack 1 pick 8:
Skeletal Kathari
Lush Growth
Yoked Plowbeast
Cancel
Salvage Slasher
Nacatl Savage
--> Jund Sojourners
Plains
Nice, I really like this guy. Removal, cycling and a fair body to boot.

Pack 1 pick 9:
Breath of Malfegor
Deny Reality
--> Sighted-Caste Sorcerer
Wandering Goblins
Sigil of the Nayan Gods
Reliquary Tower
Swamp
I picked the sorcerer on the off chance that I'd be playing some white cards.

Pack 1 pick 10:
Resounding Scream
--> Kederekt Creeper
Maniacal Rage
Brackwater Elemental
Offering to Asha
Plains
Cut, it's quite annoying at times.

Pack 1 pick 11:

------ CON ------

Pack 2 pick 1:
Vectis Silencers
Resounding Scream
Oblivion Ring
Kederekt Creeper
Colossal Might
--> Fiery Fall
Constricting Tendrils
Aven Trailblazer
Magefire Wings
Trace of Abundance
Fusion Elemental
Mage Slayer
Woolly Thoctar
Sovereigns of Lost Alara
Swamp
Thoctar or Fiery Fall, here's where I take my choice of abandoning white as anything more than a small-small splash. The thoctar is good but the combined removal and fixing is what I'm after. Colossal might can wheel if I'm lucky.

Pack 2 pick 2:
Coma Veil
Dragon Fodder
Grixis Panorama
Savage Hunger
Sanctum Gargoyle
Mana Cylix
Yoke of the Damned
Matca Rioters
Sigil of the Nayan Gods
Illusory Demon
Scourge Devil
Jhessian Balmgiver
--> Madrush Cyclops
Mountain
A gift from the gods! This guy makes all drops dangerous. I spy a drago fodder but don't think it'll return.

Pack 2 pick 3:
Arsenal Thresher
Volcanic Submersion
Relic of Progenitus
--> Bone Splinters
Cloudheath Drake
Wild Leotau
Vectis Agents
Worldly Counsel
Violent Outburst
Sacellum Archers
Anathemancer
Thunder-Thrash Elder
Island
Leotau or so-so removal, I'm light on removal and leotaus are always late so I take the removal.

Pack 2 pick 4:
Glaze Fiend
Topan Ascetic (FOIL)
Resounding Wave
Soul's Might
Lightning Talons
--> Jund Panorama
Frontline Sage
Talon Trooper
Godtracker of Jund
Thopter Foundry
Behemoth's Herald
Island
Ascetic or fixing? I take my, hopefully, last fixing.

Pack 2 pick 5:
Angelsong
Spell Snip
Waveskimmer Aven
Dreg Reaver
Vedalken Outlander
--> Wild Leotau
Wildfield Borderpost
Rockcaster Platoon
Marrow Chomper
Cloven Casting
Plains
Here's the leotau.

Pack 2 pick 6:
Fieldmist Borderpost
Banewasp Affliction
Steelclad Serpent
Vectis Silencers
Court Homunculus
Salvage Slasher
--> Goblin Outlander
Trace of Abundance
Viashino Slaughtermaster
Swamp
2-drop, thank you. The best/2nd best pro-bear together with vedalken.

Pack 2 pick 7:
Mosstodon
Shore Snapper
Hindering Light
Tukatongue Thallid
Frontline Sage
--> Kathari Bomber
Sunseed Nurturer
Hellspark Elemental
Mountain
Here's a mostodon, but my 5-drops are getting heavy. I opt to take the not so strong bomber since it gives me tokens to throw at my bone splinter. Not the best choice in the world and I know that you'll berate me for it but I like this guy.

Pack 2 pick 8:
Incurable Ogre
Brainbite
Akrasan Squire
Grixis Illusionist
--> Monstrous Carabid
Etherium Astrolabe
Shard Convergence
Swamp
Carabid, 1 is fine. Cycling will be more likely than playing it. Maybe I should've taken ogre instead?

Pack 2 pick 9:
Vectis Silencers
Resounding Scream
Kederekt Creeper
Constricting Tendrils
--> Aven Trailblazer
Magefire Wings
Swamp
Cut.

Pack 2 pick 10:
Savage Hunger
Mana Cylix
--> Yoke of the Damned
Illusory Demon
Jhessian Balmgiver
Mountain
Semi-removal, with kathari bomber it's a nice trick, bone splinter compatible as well.

Pack 2 pick 11:
Relic of Progenitus
Vectis Agents
--> Anathemancer
Thunder-Thrash Elder
Island
Meh.

Pack 2 pick 12:
--> Glaze Fiend
Soul's Might
Behemoth's Herald
Island

Pack 2 pick 13:
--> Spell Snip
Dreg Reaver
Plains

Pack 2 pick 14:
Banewasp Affliction
--> Swamp

Pack 2 pick 15:

Pack 3 pick 1:
Etherium Abomination
Blister Beetle
Soul's Grace
Hissing Iguanar
Carrion Thrash
Court Archers
Rotting Rats
Sylvan Bounty
Fiery Fall
Jund Sojourners
Metallurgeon
Controlled Instincts
--> Giant Ambush Beetle
Mycoid Shepherd
Mountain
Removal plus dude, I take it but debated long and hard if it was to be beetle or fiery fall.

Pack 3 pick 2:
Elvish Visionary
Ethersworn Shieldmage
Windwright Mage
Bloodpyre Elemental
Captured Sunlight
Bant Sojourners
Esper Cormorants
Bone Saw
Sewn-Eye Drake
Igneous Pouncer
Shambling Remains
--> Bituminous Blast
Tidehollow Sculler
Forest
Thank you. Pouncer, bloodpyre and drake, something might wheel here actually. Elvish visionary on the off-chance.

Pack 3 pick 3:
Ridge Rannet
Dispeller's Capsule
Obelisk of Grixis
Jhessian Lookout
Drag Down
Vectis Agents
--> Dark Temper
Violent Outburst
Corrupted Roots
Reborn Hope
Sangrite Surge
Manaplasm
Forest
Drag Down vs Dark Temper, I take temper as I'm into black permanents as is. It can kill basically the same things without the black permanent and more things with it.


Pack 3 pick 4:
Resounding Silence
Talon Trooper (FOIL)
Deathgreeter
Kathari Screecher
Goblin Mountaineer
Maniacal Rage
--> Jund Sojourners
Monstrous Carabid

Swerve
Mountain
More sojourners, I don't complain here.

Onyx Goblet
Marble Chalice
Cerodon Yearling
Faerie Mechanist
Rhox Meditant
Rotting Rats
Sanctum Plowbeast
Grixis Sojourners
Drumhunter
--> Esperzoa
Forest
Hate. Drumhunter is nice but I'm not that large on 5-power.

Pack 3 pick 6:
Tidehollow Strix
Guardians of Akrasa
Etherium Sculptor
Viashino Skeleton
Sedraxis Alchemist
Stormcaller's Boon
Grixis Sojourners
--> Arcane Sanctum
Dragon Appeasement
Plains
Nothing for me, looked at cutting a strix or alchemist but opted to take the bw-fixing if I feel like playing the o ring, an idea that has been growing on me.

Pack 3 pick 7:
--> Arsenal Thresher
Volcanic Submersion
Cloudheath Drake
Infectious Horror
Beacon Behemoth
Knotvine Mystic
Double Negative
Vicious Shadows
Island
Hate.

Pack 3 pick 8:
--> Welkin Guide
Call to Heel
Demonic Dread
Valiant Guard
Vedalken Ghoul
Thorn-Thrash Viashino (FOIL)
Scornful Æther-Lich
Island
Get out of here.

Pack 3 pick 9:
Etherium Abomination
--> Blister Beetle
Soul's Grace
Carrion Thrash
Rotting Rats
Controlled Instincts
Mountain
Nice, I like the beetle. It kills all blades pre-multicolor and also knocks out drakes.

Pack 3 pick 10:
Ethersworn Shieldmage
Windwright Mage
Bant Sojourners
Bone Saw
--> Sewn-Eye Drake
Forest
Speaking of drakes.

Pack 3 pick 11:
--> Ridge Rannet
Jhessian Lookout

--> Monstrous Carabid
Mountain

Marble Chalice
Forest

Pack 3 pick 14:
Viashino Skeleton
--> Plains

Pack 3 pick 15:
--> Island

Img tags do work?

When I try to use the img /img-tag it becomes a white Image and nothing else. Or do you see an image in my reply?

[edit] I found the problem, my url contains viewcurrent-something-something which screws it up.
