After pack 1, it seems that I will either be going for Esper or Grixis.

Esper I guess.

My Pick:



Wrong pick; I used to value this card highly. Deny Reality or the leech would have been much better picks.

My Pick:



The 3/1 flyer is much much better than this.

Again, take the 3/1 flyer. I took this for the money, so that I could salvage the cost of this messed up draft.

This draft would have been so much better had I known what to do. Anyway, I learned so much from this because I lost the 1st round with what I thought was an ok deck.
