Round 3 Vs Bye 
Got to get the W some how LOL. 

All in all a fun night but as you can see I chose to take the rares being this may be the last DOM draft and I could use the land even though they are rather cheap at the current price points. Still a fun night and the draft went all over the place because I was trying to incorporate the lands into it at first then got Song and switched to green. Lesson learned..

My deck: GW Support 




Jon's Deck R1 R/B Aggro....R2/3 UB/R Flyer tempo 


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Round 1 Vs. UR & GW 
Game 1 - Loss 
We were at 3 life when opponent was at 27, Okaun, Eye of Chaos  was already on the field. I played The Crowd Goes Wild, giving our 5 creature on the board +1/+1. We go to combat Jon rolls and wins 4 doubles to 8, he rolls again and wins 8 doubles to 16, we rolls a third time and loses with trample has we hit the third flip we would've had enough to push through. We ended up getting opponent down to 4 from 27 but it was not enough for victory. Super fun game with a bad attack early on because we didn't see an additional creature in the corner our opponents had. Lessons learned 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2- Vs RB & WG/U 
Game 1 - Win 
We established flyers with enough blockers on the ground to keep them at bay. They never put down anything too dangerous besides a flyer that was 6/6 with lifelink that game pacifism. Pretty easy game. 


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Round 3 - Vs U/B & G/W

Game 1 - Win 

Opponent got us down to 7 with a 17 damage attack that saw two giant growths pump a 7/5 plus an additional pump by his partner. We stabilized and opponents misplayed or ran out of gas not really which but they were discussing where they went wrong after we took it down. Flyers again went over the top to victory. Finally saw Enduring Scalelord with no support.
