Double Draft- ROE and Cube!

June 12, 2019

Pack 1 pick 1:

My Pick:

Yes, I am going to take this mythic bomb, thanks…
Pack 1 pick 2:

My Pick:

If i’m not mistaken, this is an amazing bomb as well, thanks again!
Pack 1 pick 3:

My Pick:

Removal or Dreamstone Hedron… for now i would rather cut black.
Pack 1 pick 4:

My Pick:

This pack is strong, a lot of card advantage in the form of Sea Gate Oracle, Dreamstone Hedron and Cadaver Imp. Hedron-Field Purists are also quite strong, but i choose the overall best card for my current picks, and that is the Oracle, as he is also good defensively.
Pack 1 pick 5:

My Pick:

Looter and Induce Despair still in the pack?! I am in the right colors, the Cryptologist is no less then a bomb and fits the deck perfectly.
Pack 1 pick 6:

My Pick:

This was personal preference, if in some way i’m not black, i want to be UW levelers, and i’m not passing much here.
Pack 1 pick 7:

My Pick:

A very nice defensive card, which is amazingly powerful in the right deck, again, not passing much.
Pack 1 pick 8:

My Pick:

I don’t like the Doppleganger too much, so the card advantage flier is the pick.
Pack 1 pick 9:

My Pick:

Passing so many Kiln Fiends… i love that deck, but the leveler is too strong to switch colors.
Pack 1 pick 10:

My Pick:

The invoker is strong, but i have 3 good levelers already, i think i can count on the drake.
Pack 1 pick 11:

My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 12:

My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 13:

My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 14:

My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 15:

My Pick:

ck 2 pick 1:

My Pick:

MAN!
I want that Eldrazi Conscription, but this FOIL VENGEVINE is worth too much
Pack 2 pick 2:

My Pick:

Some good cards here, i end up taking the leveler, mostly because i have a the drake and i am thinking of splashing Time of Heroes
Pack 2 pick 3:

My Pick:

The smallest Shriekmaw has a lot of targets in this format, should fit the deck well.
Pack 2 pick 4:

My Pick:

Mind Control effects are always nuts, love this at 4th pick.
Pack 2 pick 5:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 6:

My Pick:

Consume the Meek kills too much of my guys, so the very strong leveler is the pick
Pack 2 pick 7

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 8:

My Pick

Pack 2 pick 9:

My Pick:

My god! Blue sure is open!
Pack 2 pick 10:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 11:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 12:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 13:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 14:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 15:

My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 1:

My Pick:

What? no mythic?…
Oh well, same pick as last time, Cryptologist over the Induce Despair
Pack 3 pick 2:

My Pick:

And there is my mythic! worth a lot as well, lovely!
Pack 3 pick 3:

My Pick:

I don’t have too many high drops, so Induce won’t do too much, and this scorpion fits my curve very well

My Pick:

This is exactly what i want, this stalls the board until my bombs hit hard.
Pack 3 pick 5:

My Pick:

This makes no sense, it’s crazy good, CRAZY GOOD.
Any game where this shows up and the opponent doesn’t have removal is a game where you should be winning.
Pack 3 pick 6:

My Pick:

If i have room for the Gravitational Shift this could be a good combo, but this is good no matter what.
Pack 3 pick 7:

My Pick:

Removal!
Pack 3 pick 8:

My Pick:

Card advantage!
Pack 3 pick 9:

My Pick:

More removal! my colors are so open…
Pack 3 pick 10:

This is how the deck ended up:

Yes, it’s nuts.
The games were uneventful, the deck easily won with the mega-levelers, Guul Draz Assassin and Lighthouse Chronologist just win games.
As compensation for no game analysis, you can have this cube draft instead

Pack 1 pick 1:

My Pick:

Amazing pack for white, I decide to take the overall most versatile card which doesn’t need more work.
Pack 1 pick 2:

My Pick:

People always talk about how good Upheaval is, and i never get to play it, so now my strategy is to ramp a lot, so mana-rocks take priority.
Pack 1 pick 3:

My Pick:

Opposition is amazing with Elspeth, Knight-Errant, but Lark in UW with Upheaval is exactly where he belongs.

My Pick:

The reason i take Capsize here is that the way i want to build my deck is with a lot of mana because of Upheaval, and Capsize wants to be in that same deck.
Pack 1 pick 5:

This really fits the cards i already have!
Pack 1 pick 6:

My Pick:

Flickerwisp seems really good here, but i would rather find my Capsize or Upheaval more easily, as they seem to be the centerpiece.
Pack 1 pick 7:

Sadly, there is not much to tell about this draft.
Round 1 my opponent was inactive and lost in 10 minutes.
Round 2 ended on time, as my opponent didn’t find the way to win.
Round 3 was an actual match, and i finally got to play, and let me tell you, when you float 11 mana after an Upheaval, drop a land, drop Thran Dynamo, copy it with Phyrexian Metamorph, Drop Coalition Relic, Drop Elspeth, Knight-Errant and Jace, Architect of Thought, you win the game…

Hope you enjoyed these drafts, i know i did!
Leave comments about my bad picks and i will be sure to answer

Boaz.
