MtoA IV (Spidey vs Train)

[BigBlue]

By virtue of a purely random selection...

Train, do you want to select first or will you defer to choose Play or Draw?

And if anyone else wants to join, let me know. I'll need pairs of players, but I'll pair you off first come first served. A really cool aspect of this game is when you then repeat the draft process with your next opponent.

 

[train]

I'm selectin' first...

 

[BigBlue]

Train Chose to Select first...

Phyrexian Furnace
Mundungu
Crypt Rats
Goblin Recruiter

And we're off.

If you select second, you may PM me your top 3 choices in order and I'll select for you when your turn comes up.

 

[train]

Crypt rats...

why you ask(or not) -

And a little strategic insight on my part: because they can clear the board of everything else up there...

 

[Spiderman]

I guess I'll take Mundungu and Goblin Recruiter.

 

[BigBlue]

Train gets the Furnace.

next 4 (spidey's first)

Phyrexian Walker
Natures Resurgence
Goblin Tinkerer
Enfeeblement

 

[Spiderman]

I'll take the Goblin Tinkerer.

 

[BigBlue]

Train takes the Walker and the Resurgence leaving Spidey the Enfeeblement.

Train get's the first pick of these:

Betrothed of Fire
Scalebanes Elite
Fit of Rage
Righteous Aura

 

[train]

I have to go with the elite...

now strategy for my last 3 picks...

Walker is a free creature - 0/3 enough beef to last a few turns against weenies...

Resurgence - goes great with the furnace left over from the first round - much card drawing equal much goodness...

elite - i don't think there was any question here - with Crypt rats out, and enfeeblement in my opponent's deck(maybe), a 4/4 with built-in protection is not something to scoff at....

"How's it look in there doctor..."
"Son... there's real estate development value in this cranium of yours..."

 

[BigBlue]

A new day is dawning... When players give their own color commentary... It's almost like the XFL...

 

[train]

But there's no "Almost-naked-dancing-want-to-be-cheerleaders" cheering for us...

 

[BigBlue]

They're not here either... You'd think we could get a little casting couch action on a game like this...

 

[Spiderman]

I don't think I have a strategy yet. I picked Mundungu and Recruiter and Tinkerer for creatures. Here, I'll pick Betrothed of Fire and Fit of Rage just because I seem to be picking red...

 

[BigBlue]

Leaving train the Righteous Aura . . .

Next 4 (Spidey Picks 1st)

Angelic Renewal
Fire Diamond
Ophidian
Fatal Blow

 

[Spiderman]

I'll take the Ophidian 'cause it's a creature and a card drawer.

 

[train]

fatal blow, and angelic renewal..

the blow as utility is always nice...

renewal as it just makes sense over the diamond... and can retrieve a creature...

 

[Spiderman]

Well, I guess I can use the Diamond if I go red

 

[train]

now see spidey - there's some tactical strategy...

 

[BigBlue]

Train's First this pick...

Bull Elephant
Civic Guildmage
Fog
Zombie Scavengers

 

[train]

Bull elephant...

simple math here...

4 mana, 4/4, 2 lands in hand... not a problem...
