Pack 1 pick 1:
I've been playing competitive Magic since 2003. I have played in 34 Pro Tours.
At one point, this blog only contained recaps of my drafts so that I could discuss them with other people to improve my limited skills.
Now it's mostly a place to share my thoughts and ideas about competitive Magic in general.
I'd like to extend a personal thank you to anyone who takes the time to read my posts and offer opinions.

GP Toronto: the follow up
In my previous post, I talked about how I got this hand in round 9 and was unsure whether to mulligan or not:
As suggested by Ryan Bogner, I took my decklist and generated 100 sample 6-card hands to see, on average, if what I would be mulliganing into would be better or worse than this hand. I went through each hand and decided if I would keep or mulligan, and then of the hands I would keep, I marked them as either better or worse than the original 7 (or they were inconclusive).

GP Toronto: the deck
GP Toronto was a spectacular failure for me. I failed to make day 2. I didn't hate my deck, but I didn't love it.
Here was my sealed pool:

Some thoughts on blocking
In this particular draft, this was my deck:
I thought this deck was pretty good. Certainly not elite, but it had enough good cards to win.
