4-3-2-2 XXX draft, May 19, 2008. Result: Won draft.
The overgrowth was unimpressive. I'm not normally keen on the card, but thought I'd try it out (being so top heavy), but ended up removing it for an additional creature or naturalize every match on sideboard.
Composite Golem is really a great thing when you are splashing for Blaze. He fixes your red mana, and provides a mana battery for a large blaze that doubles as a 4/4. I'll take that over a craw wurm for the same price any day. 2 Might be overdoing it. I certainly think I was a bit top heavy this time around. I don't know, personally I thought this deck was fairly ugly. I seem to be drafting a lot of ugly decks lately. Avatar of Might never got out on the reduced cost, but I never had an issue getting him out. Once out, he was a house. I think it's important not to force him out too early, it's much more effective once your opponent has run out of gas. Severed Legions remain a favourite 3 drop, and they draw fire really well. Shrug, this really is a pile. I'm happy to have done well with it :)
I was definitely competing for black in the draft, and wasn't sure on the third colour until pack 3 (blaze, obv...red had been virtually nil to that point). I was considering splashing blue just for the cantrip fliers and maybe bounce, or whatever came down the pike third pack (had some early picks in this regard).
