Goldfish Draft 2

I participated in a Goldfish Draft this week.  This is actually the second that I was part of, but the other one had nothing much of interest as far as my results went.  One of the other participants, though, managed a comfortable win thanks to a serious combination that ended up in him gaining over 10¹⁹³ extra turns!

(I know I haven't made the post about the previous Goldfish Draft that I said I would.  I got bogged down in too many options, and frankly it looks unlikely that I will ever get back to it.  Oh, well.)

The draft went passably well, but the results never quite managed to hit high gear.  There's some nice combination potential but the key cards to make it all come together (a [mtgcard Stolen Identity] would have done very nicely) never quite materialised.  In retrospect there were a couple of poor drafting decisions also, although not that many.

Here is what I ended up with; first the A deck:

[mtgcard_image Fastbond] [mtgcard_image Glint-Eye Nephilim] [mtgcard_image Gisela, Blade of Goldnight]
[mtgcard_image Anthem of Rakdos] [mtgcard_image Chandra Ablaze] [mtgcard_image Elbrus, the Binding Blade]
[mtgcard_image Liege of the Tangle] [mtgcard_image Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind] [mtgcard_image Timberwatch Elf]
[mtgcard_image Liliana of the Dark Realms] [mtgcard_image Borborygmos] [mtgcard_image Titanic Ultimatum]
[mtgcard_image Soul's Fire] [mtgcard_image Norin the Wary] [mtgcard_image Goblin Chieftain]

Quite a lot of gold in that selection!  And this was the B deck:

[mtgcard_image Wheel of Fortune] [mtgcard_image Silverblade Paladin] [mtgcard_image Black Lotus]
[mtgcard_image Crypt Ghast] [mtgcard_image Sword of the Ages] [mtgcard_image Szadek, Lord of Secrets]
[mtgcard_image Extraplanar Lens] [mtgcard_image Ghave, Guru of Spores] [mtgcard_image Goblin Sharpshooter]
[mtgcard_image Underground Sea] [mtgcard_image Bayou] [mtgcard_image Goblin Bombardment]
[mtgcard_image Sarkhan the Mad] [mtgcard_image Searing Meditation] [mtgcard_image Crypt Rats]

I'm still working out the play sequence; I believe I'll exceed a million, and am hopeful of getting past the billion mark.  I've no idea how much higher, if at all, I can go.
