On to week 4 and again we have a single pod of 12 at the table for another round of M13 draft.

Pack 1's open around the table with a good number of groans, probably a lot of pretty awful rares out there. My pack 1 has a lot of really average cards and a Clone, so that is my pick 1. Next pack is similarly average but includes a Searing Spear; easy pick (the rare in the pack was Wit's End, explaining my neighbours groan). As the pack continues I get a Rancor, Divination, Rummaging Goblin, and some green creatures. It seems I still have 3 options to focus on going ahead.


Pack 2 I see a good number of decent green creatures, picking up a Primal Huntbeast, Centaur Courser, Flinthoof Boar, and 2 Timberpack Wolves. It seems that green is going to form the core of my deck with quite possibly a splash of red to take advantage of the boar's boost. Having said that, the red picks I get from this pack are rather weak and the splashable blue is great, 2 Essence Scatters, an Unsummon, and Faerie Invaders!


Pack 3 is pretty average with only a few exceptions, a Sentinel Spider, a second Flinthoof Boar, a Deadly Recluse, Bladetusk Boar, and a second Faerie Invaders. With that, I was totally ready to create a green deck with a splash of .... red? blue? I didn't really know! So in the end I made a core deck of green along with 2 interchangeable splashable modules, 1 blue, 1 red.
