That was me in game one :P, i know I gave you bad tiebrakers since I dropped in round 5 after losing to turn 6 Rampaging Baloth both games in round two (which I had Journey to nowhere and obviously he had enchantment hate the turn after) and in round four mull to 4 plus 6/3 intimidate demon game one and Terra Stomper plus Ob Nixilis. I went on then to play a draft in which I got passed an Arid Mesa and proceeded to win, so it wasn't so bad after all, I'll have another chance on December maybe then is ME who get's to open the bomb pool.
I know this is a really crappy pool, let me know what you would've built to take the best out of it.
The red is not too bad, the problem is that the creatures are expensive and doesn't have a good curve, the only other playable color is white, it has playable creatures, i would've loved to play the 3x Whelkin Tern but the only other good cards in blue are the Kraken Hatchling and the aerialist, but neither help the aggresive nature of the bird.
I built a black-red aggresive deck, but went 0-2 and then after the first game changed it to a white-red. Here's what I think is the best deck I could've built.
The bolt art is great, but why is it the foil textless card?, the best thing about receiving cards in the mail was that we where getting our cash back for playing in so many tournaments, so we could play in more. Now we are getting squak.
We had the angel and drake art, I don't know about the other.
info:
4-color Toploading deckbox
matching 4-color printed divider inside each deckbox
(each deckbox will contain only (1) divider – art will be random – either showing front art or back art of deckbox).
We've seen the apocalypse hydra, the angel and Nicol Bolas.
On the bottom right corner on the back of the binder there's a demon I've not seen elsewhere, and also the filegree chick, looks really cool (note scar on face and filegree from the neck down), maybe a nice 2/2 for BB.

You can ask players to "pause" their game, when you see an infraction.
You can read outside notes between games. (aka sideboarding tips[&tricks?])
It's all here:

info:
4-color Toploading deckbox
matching 4-color printed divider inside each deckbox
(each deckbox will contain only (1) divider – art will be random – either showing front art or back art of deckbox).
4-color Sideloading deckbox
Holds 82 sleeved cards
4-color header polybag
By the way, not so hard to find these planeswalkers.
Jace, Chandra, Garruk, Ajani and Nicol Bolas.
Too bad there's not a 'participating store' in Mexico.
Maybe it was a card that got "pushed" to conflux for flavor reasons (mythic maybe)
On the bottom right corner on the back of the binder there's a demon I've not seen elsewhere, and also the filegree chick, looks really cool (note scar on face and filegree from the neck down), maybe a nice 2/2 for BB.
Front side of Nicol's box, no biggie.
