I didn't feel Like being 5 color control was a good Idea in a format with Boros/Gruul.

I didn't play Dimir Charm either and i'm not sure if I should have.

Just sometimes it would be a Mulligan and not a huge bomb like Aberration.

The First Pack First Pick:
The only notable cards were Fathom Mage and Cinder Elemental When offered the choice between Blaze on a stick and a card that required both being U/G and building around I of course chose Fathom Mage.
P1P2: Only thing of any worth here was Consuming Aberration My reaction was "5-ManaLord of Death Meh."
P1P3: Gruul Charm was the only non-jank card Competing the 4 mana by pick 3 achievement
P1P4: Ground Assault was the pick as I remembered Kijin saying it was pretty good.
P1P5: Urban Evolution Was there letting me know that U/B was open. Of course Splash Blue Harmonize+ [card]
Rampant Growth[/card] was the pick.
P1P6:Agoraphobia was the only thing of note and I remembered a similar card from ROE.
P1p7: Pit Fight! At this point I was thinking of going Gruul with a U splash.
P1Pd8 Keymaster Rouge was the only non-White or Black Card in the pack.
P1P9: Drakewing Krasis was the best card by FAR
P1P10: Frilled Ocuus to shore up my Early game if I ended up opening something great in U/G in pack 2.
P1P11: An Angelic Edict Removal;only playable, enough said.
P1P12: Metropolis Spritelol
P1P13: Tin Street Marketlol

After Pack One I'd got the feeling that B,W,R were being Drafted heavily next to me. Cards of note I'd passed were Assemble the LegionFive-Alarm Fire,[
card]Urbis Protector[/card] and infinity Mugging.

Pack 2 Pick One: My choices were on color Crocanura or Merciless Eviction while suppressing the urge to yell "I'M CONLEY WOODS" I picked Merciless. With no Mana Fixers for those colors or even relevant cards.
P1P2: Nimbus Swimmer by a mile, continued to pass Red Cards.
P1P3: Windmill slammed Prophetic Prism for my 5 color Control{Shitty Draw, Shitty Removal} Deck.
P1P4: Mindeye Drake for that asssssss.
P1P5: Pit Fight as a snap pick despite my dismal Early Creatures.
P1P6:Voidwalk; Flicker is good enough, Flicker that can target their defenders is even better.
P7: Dimir Guildgate above other "playables"
P8: Drakewing Krasis Kijin
Mentioned it so it must be good! Doomed to be pronounced as Krakis for the rest of the night.
P9"Millennial Gargoyle, Yes a 2/2 flying Colorless for Four was 9th Pick somehow.
P10: Disciple of the Old Ways Bear that could see Play.
P11: Hatedrafted Shielded Passage due to the awesome Boros Deck I was passing.
P12: Metropolis Sprite
P13: Righteous Charge Hate-Draft.
P14: Gutter Skulk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Notables I'd passed were: 2 Ivy Lande Denizen, Scab-Clan Charger and Slaughterhorn
Pack 3; Pick One: Rapid Hybridization was the only playable(and I use this term loosely) card in any of my 5-Colors. But Pongify was awesome in Time Spiral. [card]
Biovisionary[/card] was the only other "playable"
P3P2: Voidwalk above some Red Cards, bouncing Mage seems awesome and it can go on Krasis.
P3:Miming Slime was the only thing maternally playable. And that was as a Spell dependent on Creatures.
P4: Frilled Oculus to fill in curve and Turtle it up.
P5: Simic Guildgate as the Goddamn second Piece of fixing I'd seen in the whole draft.
P6:Dimir Charm is Dimir Charm.
P7: Millennial Gargoyle, at this point I got worried that Creep had made it shitty somehow.
P8Biovisionary I snapped pick because it was a Beefier Gray Ogre and I needed that shit what with being 5 Drop.Dec.
P9:Dimir Guildgate was the pick above yet more Red cards.
P10: [card]Sage's Row Denizen[/card] for his 2/3 body.
P11: [card:
on1nwj5z]Psychic Strike[/card]
P12: Leyline Phantom
P13:Bioshift
P14:Furous Resistance
Notables I'd passed were Clan Defiance(4th pick or so for some reason) and Ordruun Veteran.

I ended up with this:
[deck]Fathom Mage
Biovisionary
Merciless Eviction

:confused:
Duel One: Normal Dude.
Match One: After a customary Good Luck and Handshake He beat down with Extort Derps. It was horrible. At one point I swung for 7
damage and knocked him down to 23 life.
Match Two: I managed to stabilize only to lose to his single Forest apparently being a splash for Slaughterhorn as I died with Wrath in Hand I was saving for Value. Aberration had gotten to past Eldrazi size at that point and I was too reluctant to sweep.

Duel Two: Irish Nerd. Playing Dimir 2 Shadow Alley Denizen and 3 Deathcult Rogue with Riot Gear and Gift of Orzhova
Game One was a close one due to Deathcult Rouge equipped with Riot Gear being insane. However Agoraphobia just wrecked anything he played. I managed to Play a Mage and then Next turn dropped a 1/1 Aberration and followed it up with Mimic Slime to somehow lucksac a card into my hand and two 5/5's onto the field. Next turn I followed up with Swimmer{drawing Playable Wrath} and that was game.

Game Two:
His Play Turn Two: Gutter Skulk.
Turn Three was a Gift of Orzhova on
said Skulk.

After summiting a bit I played Voidwalk ciphering on Krais and made him join a new site.

Game Three: White Guy with Glasses.
His Turn One was Cloudfin Raptor and he followed it up with a Forced Adaptation. It turns out Adaptation was in his deck due to Simic Manipulator. I overran him with my junk creatures fairly quickly.

Match Two: Cloudfin Raptor, Forced Adaptation, Simic Manipulator, Ivy Lane, Ivy Lane, 6/2 Guy. He beat my face in.

Match Three: He played Diluvian Primordial and Simic Manipulator to steal my defenders while I curved out perfectly with Kasis,Kasis, Gargoyle,Mindeye and just beat his face in with fliers.

It turns out that's I'd qualified for Top Four somehow with my 1 blockable Bomb Deck. 2 of the players had [card]Aurelia's Fury[/card](The Girl) and Aurelia(The hipster) in Just brutal
Boros Decks.
Match One was Pot-head with W/B Extort deck.

After Pongifying his Ogre Slumlord I killed his Smog Elementalwith a Pit Fight and bounced his 4/4 Flying Angel Token with Voidwalk and Then Ciphered his 3/3 Lizard Token away. Then he played Balustrade Spy and milled Merciless Eviction and then a land taking me out of the game.

Match 2:
Spammed Extort and despite me Pit Fighting a Karsis to death as he played 1000Lashes got Exorted from 4 health after a close race.

I ended up 4th place and got a free pack.

In it was:
[deck]Zameck Quildmage, Simic Charm and Deathpact Angel[/deck][/quote]
