i realized that halfway through!

should have gone mono-black.

generally, i like mono-blue in M10 a lot.

have you done many M10 drafts?

just prerelease honestly, but i went mono black easy and felt good about it til i played a top tier local who trounced me with mono green splash red beatdown. its like players at either side of him gave it all to him.


actually, i recall my opening M10 pack containing howling banshee and hippie and i had to make a choice, but clearly either choice would send the wrong signal to my left. i chose banshee, the right choice clearly IMO, but of course he took hippie and got all my 2nd rate B in rounds 1 and 3 and he only hosed me a little round 2 as he was solid in blue i think.
