The first pick is missing: it was a Pack's Disdain over Sunflare Shaman and some blue card I can't remember offhand. Nevermaker is a strong card, but doesn't fit a tribal theme well so it seems weak for a small-set draft. The blue signal was clearly coming from the right, but I didn't see any form of U/B I could really move into at that point, and I have a preference for Kithkins.
I punted one game in the first round but won the first two rounds without trouble. I lost one game in the finals when my opponent had on the play turn-1 Prickly Boggart, turn-2 Stinkdrinker Bandit, turn-3 Pack's Disdain + Mothdust Changeling, and I came close to recovering but couldn't quite get there. I took the next two when either he had weak hands or I had ridiculous ones. I underestimated the Ballyrush Bannerets. I took Bombardiers over them three times (looks like those two are in a print run), and I'm not positive that was correct. Especially with 2 Final-Sting Faeries already that could help against larger creatures, reliably dumping my hand Affinity-style on turns 3 and 4 probably would have been a better choice.
Won the draft.
