M15 Draft: Phytotitan... More like Ghost Titan...

I did my first M15 draft after doing a few M15 sealed and I got absolutely blown out. After messing around on the Decked Drafter app for IOS (which I absolutely recommend) I put my hat into the ring and drafted my first event, an M15 swiss.

My deck was BG (NOT graveyard) and I was fairly excited to play it. I had 3 Runeclaw Bears, a Carrion Crow, 2 Ulcerates, 2 Crippling Blights, 2 Living Totems, a Seige Wurm and the card I was most excited to play, the unkillable Phytotitan.

And of course, in all my games played, I did not once see the damned Phytotitan. I didn't even draw it.

Not pictured: My saltiness

Also, I'm a huge Limited Resources fan, but where are all these white decks I heard so much about. I didn't see white one, but I sure as hell saw Red being played in all three matches.

I ended up going 1-2 in matches and 2-5 in games. I got Mana flooded once and stuck on 3 forests for 6 turns in another with all black cards in my hand. The other games though I got destroyed by one card in particular from the two players who beat me:

The bane of my existence

It wouldn't have been that bad if I had a netcaster spider or two, but once this card gets going, there's no way to stop it, especially since all the the decks I played had Red as their main color and the other as their secondary. Whenever Brood Keeper came out, I knew Hammerhand or inferno fist was close by.

The one guy I actually beat ended up going 0-3 and played Red/Black. I beat him with Seige Wurm once and then with Carrion Crow and Shadowcloak Vampire the other time. I also lost to him because he had a buffed Vampire of his own and I messed up the order of a removal leading to my loss.

Nevertheless, I have enough packs and tickets for 3 more drafts and am looking forward to winning my first ever draft in this format! OK, that's probably a stretch, but I'm going to do at least 3 more before Khans comes out.

By the way, I don't really like the new font they have on the cards.  know it's a petty pet peeve, but they don't look like "Magic" cards with the new font. I know I'll get over it, but I just really wanted to say that.

You know you're screwed when you main deck this...
