M19 Draft

I decided I’d do an M19 draft, my first pick was Valiant Knight, I picked up quite a bit of good white in pack 1 and then saw green was open so I ended up Selesnya. I was greatly rewarded for this. P2P1 was a Hundering Hydra and then I got this Pack 3

So the draft went really well for me this is the deck I ended up with:

I went 7-2 between this draft and the ixalan draft it seems I’ve good at drafting Selesnya.

Most of the games I played this as a strong aggro deck finishing the game pretty quickly. Ajani only actually came out once but when he did he broke a board stall causing my opponent to concede. The best card in this deck was easily the Valiant Knight having him out with one Drill Master and 5 open mana was really strong, its hard for the opponent to block 3 attack minions when I can give them double strike.

I did lose 2 games. The first game I lost was due to keeping a 2 land hand and never drawing a 3rd land, it happens but it really does suck. The other game I lost was interesting. I had a very big Hungering Hydra due to my opponent attacking every turn with a vigilant phylactery lich. Unfortunately after swinging back with the Hydra they top decked Take Vengeance (in hindsight maybe I shouldn’t have attacked). I then didn’t get any useful spells to deal with the situation for the rest of the game.
