I just want to say this first: I am not a good drafter. I usually go 0-4. I read the draft stategies thread and did a bit better tonight.

Round 1
Me vs Jimmy
He owned my face in. I lost 0-2. Red/black is good in Coldsnap draft it seems

Round 2
Me vs Phil
He was using red/black/green. Owned my face in. This game was basically a race to see who could get his fatty out first. I hate Allosaurus Rider. I lose 0-2

Round 3
Me vs Some Cool Guy Whose Name I forgot
This was a fun round. I lost first game cuz of some enchantment that gives his creature +8/+8 or something huge like that and it either gets bigger or smaller depending on the situation. Second game, four words: Jokulmorder for the win! Jokulmorder hits the board, he's at 3 and scoops. Then decided to drop so he could trade and stuff. So I got that one 2-1. Then I dropped cuz I had to leave.

After dropping
I managed to trade for 3 Birds of Paradise. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

My deck:
3 Krovikan Mist
2 Drelnoch
1 Jokulmorder
3 Kjeldoran Outrider
3 Squall Drifter
2 Jotun Grunt
1 Boreal Griffin
1 Jotun Owl Keeper
1 Surging Sentinels

2 Rune Snag--Was hoping for 4 but whatever
4 Surging Aether--Ripple is so unreliable......

8 Island
8 Plains

Props:
Trading for 3 Birds
Jokulmorder FTW
Breaking 0-4 habit
Not having to face Patrick who opened an Ohran Viper

Slops:
Having to drop
Price on draft being raised--Used to be 12 went up to 15


I <3 drafting Coldsnap

you should have posted your SB too so people could help you if you made any mistakes, your pics for every pack in order would have been cool too

I didn't even think I'd be doing a tourney report so that never crossed my mind. I remember the card in my sideboard I loved the most though: Flash Freeze. Sided in every game. It = counterspell through out the entire tournament

im a little shaky on the rune snags, traditionally counterspells are 'meh' in limited

I've noticed. A quote from myself:I am not a good drafter

I drafted 2 rune snags. They worked good for me. NO 5 SURGING SENTINALS FOR YOU!
