Special mention:
Mark's 21st birthday was the day after the draft, so Qizhong gave him a Vexing Devil while Jonlim and Wei Xiang secretly upgraded his 3rd pack to Korean for LOL. Happy birthday Mark! Enjoy your foil korean slitherhead.

Top 3 bombs of the day (in terms of influence):

2nd place - Rakdos Return (played by Mark - stanley gets RR-ed for x=5)
3rd place - Chaos Imp (played by Mark/Jonlim - drop imp 7/6 flying trample. any removal? no? GG)

Upset of the day:
Mark's game 2 win over Jonlim - Jonlim had 4 creatures beating down and Mark was down to 2 life, then Mark overloaded 2x Electrickery to sweep Jonlim's board, stabilize and win the game.

Player of the day:
Mark - Complained so much about having a 'bad deck', but whether it was because its his 21st birthday the next day or playskill, he won the draft anyway.

Deck of the day:
Qizhong's 4-color GRUB goodstuff - what kind of good grub in here? Let's see, Hypersonic Dragon, Pack Rat and Cyclonic Rift. Green for the fixing. Most innovative of the day.
