May 20, 2008  GBr XXX Draft  Result:  Eliminated in 2nd round.

I actually couldn't figure out how to best put together the last 4 or 5 cards of this thing.  I switched around a lot during the sides, usually taking out the aggressive urge for a shock or assasinate.  Here's the sideboard for your reference:

1 Assassinate
1 Mountain
1 Holy Day
1 Mountain
1 Crafty Pathmage
1 Stalking Tiger
1 Ghost Warden
1 Soul Warden
1 Bandage
1 Suntail Hawk
1 Plague Beetle
1 Raging Goblin
1 Shock
1 Swamp
1 Wall of Wood
1 Shimmering Wings
1 Serra's Embrace
1 Spirit Link
1 Reminisce
1 Aura Graft
1 Llanowar Sentinel

This is the draft I had the odd experience with the Overrun bug.  I still won that game (2nd match), but it was quite odd to choose damage between me and his creature.  He came back the next two games however to reveal a swackhammer, and proceeded to bludgeon me accordingly.   I had little in the side to put in against the hammer, so I just dove in and tried to work through it.  No dice.  It's okay, I was due.

I'm interested to hear how people would have built it differently with the pool I had.  I suspect some of you would have changed things.
