Wow, that's never happened before.
Aug. 3rd, 2007 11:50 pmRather to my own astonishment, I just won a Magic Online 8-player draft tournament. I ran monowhite; it worked out incredibly well. My deck included Crovax (Ascendant Hero), Pentarch Paladin, Zhalfirin Commander, Resurrection, 2 Shades of Trokair, Revered Dead, Whitemane Lion, Spirit en-Dal, Flickering Spirit, Lucent Liminid, Lumnithread Field, Judge Unworthy, and Marshalling Cry, among some other stuff. (I didn't take a record of what was in the deck.)
One decision I was really happy about: I didn't include Saltskitter. One of my opponents did, and he had a heck of a time keeping it in play long enough to do anything. I think he managed to attack with it once.
Since I was on 4/3/2/2, that's four free packs, which sets me at about, what, $1.97 profit compared to where I started? I'm hardly quitting my day job, but it was very nice.
And now I'm taking my sleepy self off to bed.
