2024-1-12 Ravnica Remastered draft (Cube)

2-0
1-2
2-1

I first picked Assure//Assemble but I wonder if maybe that was too limiting of a pick.

My second card had a few choices. I could continue the Selesnya with a Selesnya Signet and hope the Conclave Cavalier gets passed to me later. I ended up taking an Ultimate Price because it seemed more flexible.

For the rest of the game, it was awkward picking up so many black cards while I was also trying to draft Selesnya.

I had a lot of removal like Bladebrand, Orzhov Euthanist, and Thrill-Kill Assassin but I was lacking top end and protection against fliers.

I decided to go Orzhov splashing green because I managed to pick up two Crocanuras for fliers. The Moldervine Cloak and the Assemble allowed me to have much better top end.

Opponent was playing some black/green deck. He had some scavenger cards as well as some Golgari Thugs. It was a weak deck with lots of small creatures. In the first game of the first match, I managed to play my Assemble which was very satisfying.

Opponent was also playing some black/green, but he had two more colors? In the first game, the opponentdouble blocked a creature after guessing I would give it deathtouch. Casting Bladebrand was a huge blowout for him. That wasn't the game winning play, I just had enough removal for everything. The second game was unfortunate. I definitely could have closed it out with an early 2-0. I got the opponent very low, maybe 5 health but I struggled to draw gas. Moldervine Cloak kept me alive. I dredge it four of five times. Then the opponent played two Ill-Gotten Inheritances which was enough to sustain him until he could take the game. The last game, I got stuck drawing lands.

The last match was against Azorious fliers. He had Sphinx of New Prahv, Tidespout Tyrant, Cloudfin Raptor, and Spark Double. Because I knew he had fliers, I kept a bad hand with both of my Crocanura. Unfortunately, I just couldn't draw my white mana and half my hand was dead. In the second game, I managed to put Moldervine Cloak on my Crocanura which completely stomped his fliers plan. In the final game, I put Moldervine Cloak on my Sunhome Stalwart with a Crocanura out, which was also too much.

MVPs were Moldervine Cloak, Thrill-Kill Assassin, Orzhov Euthanist, and Bladbrand. Armory Guard was also great. I always managed to cast Blade Jugglers for the spectacle costs.

Orzhov Guildmage was a huge disappointment. It was only a 2/2 for me. Definitely considered playing replacing it.

I managed to put Moldervine Cloak on Mourning Thrull and Sunhome Stalwart which was great.
