Thanks to ridiculous amounts of lucky topdecking and manascrewed opponents, I've still managed to win most of my matches, but I know I'm drafting and playing terribly. I lost one match to someone with a beautifully synergistic deck with multiple Commune with the Gods and a bunch of cards that I consider mediocre, like Fleshmad Steed. Seeing decks like that make me wonder what I'm missing.
I would practice some online, but this MTGO disaster is making me anxious about putting any more money into it.
Yeah seeing some of the synergies people come up with in the 84s is half the reason I play this game. I'm still convinced there's a draft deck for the X/3 RU flyer in the set, somewhere. The black steeds are actually pretty great in this set because bears.dec wins a good chunk of games.
Seeing humans, satyrs, RU scry, minotaurs, all be viable is awesome.
