With this draft I tried a different strategy than I normally do. Instead of picking my main color around picks 5-7 I waited until the end of the TSP pack and the beginning of the PLC pack to decide I was going G/R. It worked out fairly well, but that may have been because I got a few bombs in the beginning.

Round 1: An easy win against a W/U deck. I used Rough//Tumble to wipe out three of his early 2/2s. Later I wiped out several fliers with sulfurous blast to win the game. He conceded game 2.

Round 2: Won the first game against another G/R deck. He won games two and three. He had a Spectral Force that I just couldn't deal with in time in the second game. In the third he dropped a Nacalt War-Pride that finished me off after he had swung with the Spectral the turn before.
