Too cold to draft?

I don't mean my results recently, I mean the temperature. Its freaking freezing Mr. Bigglesworth!

I still made it out, prepared to draft Battle for Zendikar. I even watched a few draft videos so I could at least understand the set again. I never drafted it when I got back in.

There was only 5 of us to play, so the owner said "Unstable" and "free" in the same sentence. We all cheered, and drafted for a free-for-all style game.

What is remarkable? I actually drafted a really good deck. My first pick? Infinity Elemental! From there I went to get a nice R/W deck. My entire goal for the game is to cast said Infinity Elemental. I had contraptions, and nice ones. However, not a ton of ways to get them out. I had the Elemental out there for many turns but not really doing any harm, 1/1 Squirrels were getting completely destroyed. I curved out wonderfully, and basically did all the things my deck does NOT do when playing one on one. I had defense, I had great abilities, and I had the biggest creature in the game. However, he couldn't do anything.

The downside? He died before I got out both contraptions that would have made me unstoppable:
Targeting Rocket
Goblin Slingshot

As it turned out, Slingshot was MY VERY NEXT CONTRAPTION after my Elemental got blown up by a Squirrel. Yes, a Squirrel. *sigh*


Turns out, one of the guys opened a really nice pull: Very Cryptic Command, foil, version A.
Playing for free and he pulls a $58 card. Dang!

I was just happy to get the lands.



I donated almost all my cards to the "cube draft" community box. I kept a couple foils, the lands, Very Cryptic Command, and my Infinity Elemental!
