I think the Bonds of Faith vs Butcher Cleaver pick should of been Bonds and I think you got to greedy taking the Evil Twin you should of stuck to gw perhaps splashing blue for Grasp.
Also the debate Slayer vs Murder I think Slayer is an easy pick in that situation GW is much better colour combination than GU and the two cards are close enough in power.
P1P1 though I'd probably take the Murder just because I'm biased to towards UW and UB in this format.
The pick murder vs slayer has been debated on mtgsalvation to death, and the result(based on strong limitedplayers opinions) was that murder is better.
@smolensk83 I'm insulted that you dont think I'm a strong limited player :P
I don't think it's really that close to be honest. I'd take murder if I had more blue than just a grasp, but I'm nowhere close to commited to blue at this point, and I'll be able to at least splash the slayer no matter what. I think at any point in a draft where this pick comes up and you haven't yet commited to blue, the pick should easily be slayer. Also, if I'm straight white blue, I'm probably still taking slayer.
@DraftMagic I actually think you are a strong limited player, but i also think you are wrong here. Everytime someone drops a murder the game just feels over, while i have seen slayer do nothing too many times. I think the popularity of white is the deciding point since
a) white is more heavily drafted
b) against a heavy white deck slayer is very underwhelming.
Slayer isnt that great of a splash anyway. You want him to hit the curve for him to be most effective.
You seriously obnoxiously overrate Shimmering Grotto. Taking it over nothing is fine, but you should certainly never be taking it over something like Grizzled Outcasts. You're more likely to see late Grottos than to have enough good actual cards. And you certainly shouldn't just run them with no reason. Maybe if you're double splashing, but generally Amulet or even Vigil is better.
Other than that, cool draft. But I really do think you should revise your opinion of Shimmering Grotto.
I think p2 you should have taken the noble over the the mystics of ulvenwald, and also the server the bloodline is probably good enough to change from main blue to main black. Though still a nice draft so far ;)
@Froschritter Agreed. Especially since at that point you are "Main" Blue because of Grasp. Pick 17, I actually would have picked Bonds over Cleaver and then Blazing Torch, to go WG. I would actually still pick Noble cause of its power level and splash it (and hope for an Unburial Rites while you're at it).

Oh, and 16 lands? With 2 Grottos, and a manabase like that? There is no way on earth that was correct.

Also do not think you should have taken the Evil Twin, and Bonds of Faith was the pick over Butcher's Cleaver.

I think Murder of Crows is better than Slayer and you also had a grasp at that point. Not a fan of that pick.
