BTT: Voltrons 'R Us

After consistently going 0-3 in phantom sealed, I decided to stop wasting my money in sealed and instead, waste my money on drafting. At least this way, I get to potentially draft big money cards. 

Of course, in my first draft I saw no money. 

I started my draft with a first pick Akroan Skyguard and 2 Setessan Oathsworn later, I began drafting a WG heroic deck. I grabbed a Fleecemane Lion which ended up being my undoing and Nylea, God of the Hunt which was borderline useless and is only going to net me about 2 tix. 

I ran my deck with 16 creatures, 17 lands and the rest mostly low drop spells to beef up my Akroan, Oathsworn and Wingsteed. And a good chunk of my creatures were bestow creatures. 

I steamrolled through my first match, winning 2-0 against another WG heroic deck. I was able to get Oathsworn out each time and beef him up along with Agent of Horizons.  After out match, the guy either rage quit or dc'd. 

The next match was against RB. I lost 0-2 but I stayed competitive in both matches, losing both thanks to the RB god who whittle my health down each turn. 

My last match was against Mono U and I just got out removal. The amount of bounces in his deck were unbelievable. I would beef up and do 8 damage one turn, and then he'd bounce my Oathsworn and I'd be screwed for two turns while he chips me down. I dropped the first match and the. As soon as he did it again match 2, I was so on tilt that I conceded. 

All in a I won 1 Theros booster and am getting about 3 tix from my cards, netting me ~-6 tix which is what I would have spent on a phantom sealed. So I don't consider this draft a failure. Especially since I recently bought a shitload of boosters at sub $3.
