Dog pics and nerd shit. 40>60>>100, although sharing 80 is kind of nice. Here for good vibes and fun times, I keep my politics IRL, you know, where it actually matters.

Draft #1: Not a great start at 3-3... P1P1 Obsessive Pursuit, tried to force it for science. Card felt good, deck felt mid, Drew my worst cards a lot. Ozai was nuts but Red wasn't open, should have been white.

Overall: 3-3, finished Bronze 3

Draft #9: Finally did the (almost) mono-red thing, it was *nice.* First match was nut draw vs nut draw and theirs were better than mine. The other two were easy. 2-1, 4-2

Overall record: 16-10 in matches, 38-23 in games

Draft #8: Pack 1 artifacts was open, got Urza, Converter, Trinket Mage, Golos (for Academy or Workshop), Citadel (for Tinker), Oust, Hole, wheeled Coveted Jewel and Chromatic Star? And then.... mid :( Planeswalkers are *really* hard for this deck to beat. 1-2 :(

Overall: 14-9 matches, 34-21 games

Draft #7: No power, but a good result! 2-0 with a game dropped due to server issues (that I was 95% to win). Deck felt like it would be bad, and kind of was bad, but the Wrath of God out of the board was *clutch.*

Total record: 13-7 in matches, 31-16 in games

Draft #6: Another Lotus, another 1-2?? I tried to swing for the fences here, P1P2 Timetwister, P1P3 Echo of Eons, but no draw-7 hate came to me. One game, I mull'd to 5 on the play and my opponent played turn 1 Library...

Total Record: 11-7 in matches, 26-15 in games
