Third week @ FNM! 2 packs Dark Ascension and 1 pack Innistrad. 12 players.
I switched up and chose a blue common flyer my first pick, and then was off and running with a UB deck in mind.
The deck I put together from the drafted cards (except BASIC lands added later):
Creatures (16 - 17 counting the artifact...)
1 Black Cat
1 Manor Skeleton
1 Skirsdag Flayer
1 Disciple of Griselbrand
2 Wakedancer
1 Village Cannibals
1 Geralf's Messenger
1 Abattoir Ghoul
2 Shriekgeist
1 Lantern Spirit
1 Headless Skaab
1 Stormbound Geist
1 Nephalia Seakite
1 Moon Heron
Sorcery/Instant/Enchant (3/4/0 = 7)
1 Artful Dodge
1 Divination
1 Moan of the Unhallowed
1 Undying Evil
2 Tragic Slip
1 Frightful Delusion
Artifact (1)
1 One-Eyed Scarecrow
Land (16)
9 Swamp
6 Island
1 Evolving Wild
Sideboard:
2 Chosen of Markhov
1 Divination
2 Deadly Allure
1 Harrowing Journey
1 Saving Grasp
1 Hysterical Blindness
1 Dissipate
1 Corpse Lunge
1 Spiteful Shadows
1 Curse of Thirst
1 Ghoulcaller's Bell
Very happy with the build - upped the creature count and dropped the land by one. Plus, really scrutinized the instants and sorceries.
Overall, won the first match 2-1 then lost the next 2-1. Then lost the third 2-1. Finally, a nice 2-0 match to finish even in matches on the night. The flyers made a big difference every match.
Other goodies from this FNM: Markov Warlord (hate-drafted!), Boneyard Wurm, Grim Flowering, and Ghostly Possession, and a foil Gravepurge. Got several tip cards for future use to promote FNM. Also got: 5 checklist cards and then Diregraf Ghoul, Falkenrath Noble, Make A Wish, Brimstone Volley, Ashmouth Hound, Stitched Drake, Harvest Pyre, Tormented Pariah, Manor Skeleton, and Nightbird's Clutches.
(3 + 3 for 6 total Uncommons)
Snagged a door prize of 100-count Dragon Shield silver card sleeves (approx. $10 value)!
As before, all rares were thrown in pool at the end of the play for selection based on draft ranking. I went 7 out of 12 (I think)and got: Geralf's Messenger (+ all got a foil Ravenous Demon 1st turn), Splinterfright, and Evil Twin.
Love me some FNM!!
