Information

A solid draft, with a good mix of threats and removal.

P1P1 was Noxious Wyvarch, P1P2 was Grodov's Favored. From there, mostly just stuck to Xenan. I saw a few dragon synergies in Stonescar, but didn't end up claiming any of them.

P2P1 was Ebon Dune Smuggler, which firmly cemented me in Xenan. Picked up a Changeestik that I ended up splashing for, but otherwise just concentrated on filling out my curve. Picked up a few other Primal cards, but not enough to justify a larger splash. Amusingly, ended up not playing the Smuggler because I didn't have any cards worth throwing in the market (possibly because of my hypothetical splash).

Overall, games were pretty smooth - play some early drops to establish board presence, then drop Dune Phantom or another defensive unit to block until I can start dropping fatties. Lots of removal meant I was capable of dealing with most problems. Lost one game to power screw, but otherwise things went as planned.

MVP: Edict of Makkar and Edict of Grodov. They don't deal with everything, but they have text in most matchups, and cheap removal is really good.

This deck looks like it can curve very nicely with that ramp, would be hard to beat it. I've passed Noxious Wyvarch because of the stats for 7, but I guess if you are ramping into it it's good. Did you end up killing more of your opponent's units than your own with it?

There were a few times that I didn't play it out because it would hurt me more than it would hurt my opponent. There were also a few times that I chump attacked with a anything that would die to it, my opponent blocked with something big, and I ended up wiping my opponent's board. It's a hard effect to play around.

Also: because I first-picked it, I was able to build around a bit and prioritize high-health creatures. Horn of Plenty also helped a lot.
