This is tough. I want Deicide out of my draft, but there are other ways to kill Iroas too and I can't take them all. Magma Spray seems good, but Brawler is exactly what I would want in an Iroas deck. Maybe the Stonewise wheels?

Eh, Boar is good but should have been Ajani's Presence. I thought this pack was between Skink and Boar at the time, so I must have misread the name on Presence and not realized what it was.

Round 1 - WG heroic?
Don't know, I goldfished him by turn 6 in both games. I had good hands, he was short on 2 drops.
2-0
Round 2 - UW something
Game 1 was slower. Executed the typical aggro plan. He taps out for 1 creature per turn. I attack with everything each turn, he tries to block and trade, I play a trick AND another creature to keep gaining momentum. Rinse and repeat a few times. He loses.
Game 2 I get turn 5 Iroas with 3/3 Wingsteed Rider and 3/2 already on board. He can't block. On his turn he alpha strikes instead of saving blockers??? He's at 11. He plays a single Aerie Worshippers with only U open. Only one blocker against Iroas... I could play Desperate Stand to attack for 11 unblockable but I decided to cast Wingsteed Rider 2 instead, animating Iroas. Alpha Strike. He has the Lost in Labyrinth to reduce it to exactly 10 damage, stalling me to a turn 7 goldfish instead of another turn 6 :(. No clue why he attacked. He had no chance of racing.
2-0
So far two W decks. How did I get pick 8 Akroan Skyguard?
Round 3 -- UG tempo
Game 1- Akroan Skyguard and Wingsteed Rider are good. I topdeck Iroas but I have him beat in 2 turns either way, so I opt not to play it to rub salt in the wound and just leave Divine Verdict open for the rest of the game. He has no answers.
Game 2 - Akroan Skyguard and Wingsteed Rider are good.
2-0
