One of the missing cards in pack 3 was a Thorntooth Witch. This draft was kind of a mess as I couldn't make anything of the signals and sent a few bad ones myself, so I tried to make the most of my bombs.
I won the first two rounds without much trouble by drawing a million cards off Admirers and Archdruid, then screwed up badly in the last round, keeping some hands I had no business keeping and misplaying. I lost to some fliers in the first game after a slow start, and I played my Dreamspoiler too early, hoping to blow him out with it the next turn, when I could have easily waited a turn or two to play around removal. Then I kept a land-light hand in game 2, played around the tutored Thundercloud to resolve a Packmaster, but he had the Oblivion Ring for it immediately, and he had removal for most of my creatures, so my Pack's Disdains weren't very good. I don't know if I could have won the match with better play, but I think my deck was about as good.
Lost in the finals.
