Kyle RRR Draft #2 - When you're on Team Wild

Pack 1, Pick 1:



My Pick:


There are two possible picks, Induce Despair and Predator.  Both go in the big mana green deck, which is what I want to be drafting.  But this one is more specific.  It cuts it a little better so that I can get hooked up p2.

Pack 1, Pick 2:


My Pick:


This pack just sucks.  Wall is fine, but not really want I want to be doing.  I hate the leveler strategy since it involves attacking with guys that cost less then 7, so Time of Heroes is not even an option for me.
Pack 1, Pick 3:

My Pick:


Removal is still removal.  Blows out the enchantments that are all around.
Pack 1, Pick 4:

My Pick:


Same reason as the 2nd pick. I don't like attacking.
Pack 1, Pick 5:

My Pick:

Pack 1, Pick 6:

My Pick:


This card is way too good to be this late.  If I can get some more token makers this can be a bomb.

Pack 1, Pick 14:

My Pick:

Pack 1, Pick 15:

My Pick:


I still want to be the big mana green deck, but it is clearly not open right now.  But I will still try to keep it as an option.

Pack 2, Pick 1:

My Pick:


Keepin the dream of green alive.  I like spawnsire a lot too, but beastbreaker is slightly better.  Side note, beastbreaker is not very good in the pure ramp deck and I would take cursher in it if I am far enough in.
Pack 2, Pick 2:

My Pick:

Pack 2, Pick 3:

My Pick:


I don't have any fixing to be greedy enough to take a removal spell here.  Deck is starting to shape up into a blue white control deck.

Pack 2, Pick 4:

My Pick:

Pack 2, Pick 5:

Pack 3, Pick 1:

My Pick:


Now we have another win condition.  I don't have many color restrictions right now so I should easily be able to play several mountains to support him.

Pack 3, Pick 2:

My Pick:


Not sure about this pick.  Another wall might just have been better.

The deck ended up like this:


This deck is insane. It does everything I want, which is nothing. I also think that Spawnsire is really good, but nobody else seems to.

Round 1:
I end up just destroying him. G1 I lead with cryptologist and just play some walls and stabilize. He tries to level his beastbreaker, but I oust it to buy time, then deprive it on the way back down. The card advantage from the cryptologist that went unanswered is way too much for him to deal with. He is playing a token deck, so I board in the Soul Warden for the Pathraizer.
G2 I lead with the Soul Warden that I boarded in. He ends up conceding when I am around 40 life and play the first threat of the game.

Round 2:
My opponent opens the game with t2 kiln fiend, turn 3 growth spasm, turn 4 growth spasm staggershock. This puts me to 5, but then I play Sea Gate Oracle on 3, chump on 4, and play another on 4. From here I get to start playing real walls and hold down his team. Eventually I get stabilized and play Lord and start to level. A few turns later his team dies along with his hopes and dreams (of winning the game).

I board out the Pathrazer for the 3rd 4/5 wall.
Game 2 is the most fun I have played in a long time. I end up stabilizing pretty quickly despite him playing sol ring on t1. He kills my Lord for staggershock and wrap in flame. I am just left with a bunch of walls while he has Hedron-Field Purists so I just can’t attack. I realize that I have 2 ways left to win the game. The first is Spwansire getting everything. The other way comes down to Ousting my wall every turn and buying it back. The good thing is that at one point I have deprive and 2 walls to buy it back to his 1 card in hand. Well we play about 10 more turns. Most of the turns look like this:

He ends up leveling up everything for no real reason, and I debate moving the knight to infinity and beyond. I end up depriving a vent sentinel. Then I draw Spawnsire. I decide not to cast it and use my last wall to buy back deprive, then oust my wall. He does something dumb and I cast the Spawnsire. 2 Turns later I have instant speed 37/37 annihilate 9 and I get your shit.

Round 3 is slightly disappointing. G1 I get blown out by Grotag-Siege Runner. In the main. At this point I debate whether or not to kill myself. I would have been able to stabilize without that, but as a result I die…to stomper cub. At this point I do kill myself.
Game 2 is the standard. He plays some dudes, I play some bigger ones. He draws the grotag runner again and puts me on the back foot. I end up playing more 4/5s and he can’t get past them.
Game 3 I just don’t draw anything. I see beyond twice and only see lands. I draw some more with survival cache and rebuying see beyond. I just draw more lands. I die to a stomper cub again. If I hit an oust or guard duty I would have easily stabilized and won the game.

The deck ended up sick. It was one of the most fun decks I have played in a long time and all I ever want to do in the format. Attacking sucks and should be avoided at all costs. The only guys that it is acceptable to attack with cost 7 or more mana. If you are doing something else, you are probably doing it wrong.
