Deck Description

I drafted this deck last night at the local comic book shop. The tournament went 4 rounds. My deck performed poorly... 1-3 for the night:

Match #1: G/R Aggro (Werewolves)
Game #1: Loss by hit points (0/6)
Game #2: Loss by hit points (0/13)

Match #2: G/R Aggro (Werewolves)
Game #1: Loss by hit points (0/7)
Game #2: Loss by hit points (0/8)

Match #3: U/G/B (Combo Driven)
Game #1: Win by hit points (11/0)
Game #2: Loss by mill (20/4)
Game #3: Draw - but reported as a loss to help opponent advance (19/13)

Match #4: G/R Aggro (Werewolves)
Game #1: Win by hit points (4/0)
Game #2: Win by hit points (19/0)

I played prerelease, so I knew everyone was going to draft red/green and run werewolves. I walked into this draft with the goal to draft blue/black and run zombies - since I felt those colors would be wide open.

My downfalls:
1. Drafting the black cards. I should have drafted blue exclusively.
2. The 6/6 turtles weren't added until match 3. I wanted to keep the the cost low, but without the turtles - I had nothing the block the big green hitters (5/4 werewolves).
3. My deck started with 16 islands, but playing mono-blue with a curve on the low end allowed me to run 15 islands. I didn't reduce the land count until match 3.
