Simon Says #69: Flashback Lorwyn Block Draft (LLM 8-4)
Posted on May 1, 2014 by Simon Goertzen
Very nice seeing you draft one of the old formats, Simon. I would also love to see you drafting and playing Shards of Alara.
I would have built the deck a bit differently:
- take out Naths Buffoon (sideboard card) and one Boggart Birth Rite
- put in Cauterwauling Boggart (good with the Mob and the Bandit) and Adder-Staff Boggart
It is unfortunate that you fell victim to MTGO’s shuffler. I would have loved to see you in the finals. Especially because Goblins are a relatively unpopular archetype in Lorwyn and Goblin decks are usually not so good…
There was no way anyone could forsee that, but you could have created quite the brew with 2 colfenor plans and marlen, lili and even sensation gorger to negate the drawback.
Very nice draft, good games as always. That keep in the last game of match 2 was kinda greedy.
