Magic The Gathering M10 Draft #1 Walkthrough (Pack 1)

[crazedmage72]

There was no blue coming before that 1 pack, looked like to me white was open though, with excommunicates white knights and celestial purge as really good sideboard

[Bergashnurga]

gah, my friends play magic and i'm thinkin about joining them. i just broke my hand so i can't work or play games D: this looks like a fun alternative

[ParentheticalMagic]

things i would have done differently: pick 3 ball lightning

pick 6 negate, would have taken the purge for the hate.

[popertop]

I would have gone with fireball

definitely best card since it doesn't commit you to a color

[Drecon84]

I don't agree with the reasoning behind sparkmage. There are so many 1-toughness creatures, even in black (shade anyone?)... I agree with it being suboptimal vs green and the drake is always good but it might not have been the best pick.

I think it was a quite good draft so far. You pointed out the mistakes you made (not taking expanse and Minotaur) and everything else was okay.

[devhead22]

where do you go for this

[agdstardust]

why do you change colors every pick LOL

[mOeRuToRa]

More comments. I do not like your reasoning on certain cards on Pick 5 and beyond. White and Black Knight are solid cards. They have 1st strike and pro and dread warlock has evasion which is good. As u mentiond u shouldve taken Minotaur. And Soul Warden is better than Negate and Purge will exile ur Dragon. Pick 7- As in my earlier post- signals are only visible once in a while. There were no blue signals so it wouldnt have mattered. Looter is from Exodus- Check the art out from then. Awesomeness

[mOeRuToRa]

Its not hard to go mono-red. Since not many poeple go in it may as well go for it since u already had 2 picks in red and its a decent chance that ull get passed artillery pyromancer or a bunch of other cards. Good to take chances. Especially when Signals arent very useful in 4322 or Swiss. But Good post. Keep it up

[MalkolmX07]

you did many incorrect picks, imo...

[Skateboykyle]

I'll say.

Ball Lightning sucks in a non mono red deck

[magicgameplan]

I agree. Plus, red is the worst color and everyone wants to splash it (Bolt, Fireball) so going mono red deck usually not a good idea.

[Otosreborn]

Pick 3 is very incorrect. You take the Ball Lightning every day of the week. You also take Canyon Minotaur over Warlock. "These picks don't matter.." 14th pick Panic Attack is insane, by the way.

[reallycalm]

mono red is terrible

acidic slime is almost always a 2 for 1, better than ball of lightning for sure

I hear that's good in magic

[Otosreborn]

Mono Red is the best archetype in the format, but okay. Every time I draft Mono R in 8-4's I go 3-0.
