A couple of my concerns were: Pack 1 Pick 1, obviously you windmill slam a mind control, skywinder drake and pacifism being the only other respectable pick 1s here if a mind control didn't exist in the pack. The question is: When you see pick 2, do you grab a rusted sentinel and try to force blue? Especially if you make the pick I did and then see pick 3. Because UB is really weak because one is only good in the air, and the other is only good on the ground. Was it right for me to shift colors once I was through pack 1?
Pack 2 pick 2: Arachnus spinner? That card is a BOMB if you can get a web. I wasn't getting cut green, and I hadn't shipped many green bombs, I didn't know if I should drop red and shift to green for this thing or not. And the other thing was the pack not being good, my best choices (in color) were: Deathmark, which I can reasonably expect to table, goblin arsonist, a second consume spirit and... zombie goliath? Yeahhhh. Unfortunately only the goliath did table.
Also: Doom blade over phoenix? I feel like I made the right call, but damn that was a hard call. The only 2 cards that could recur phoenix were incinerate (I'd prefer to use it as removal) and outrage.
Anyway, results of the draft are below the fold as I'd rather you evaluate my choices before knowing how I did.
Won the tournament, lost 1 game. kept a 4 land hand with 2 gorehorn minotaurs and gravedigger against a blue green control deck. He hits a turn 5 jace.

Asking people to remove quotes in their signatures is tyranny! If I can't say something just because someone's feelings are hurt then no one would ever be able to say anything! Political correctness is stupid.

Pegasus is rather good again would have taken the creature over the heavy black card
