Draft recording done by Blargware's MTGO DraftCap. Support Blargware!
I took Lace with Moonglove and an unplayable for the last two picks, which didn't get recorded.
From pick 6 through the rest of the first pack, white was clearly open, so I went for the Kithkin deck again, this time paired with green (probably the best way to draft it). The final deck ended up having a good curve and some good late-game cards in Admirers, Ajani and 2 Incremental Growths. I decided not to run the Fertile Ground (and splash Mulldrifter), as this deck really want to be playing creatures on turn 2 and it just doesn't fit with the plan.
The games pretty much went as expected. I usually had a 2-drop and a 3-drop, with some backup from tricks, and that can get the job done. My draws weren't too explosive, but neither were my opponents'.
Split the finals.
