1 Orzhov Basilica
3 Mountain
5 Forest

Round 1: I face the mirror, but I just draw better cards I think. I don't remember much. I win 2-1.
Round 2: I play against Dimir/Izzet, but I just come out a lot faster. This guy has Mark of Eviction and Followed Footsteps, and I'm somehow able to get rid of both (had to Helix my own guy to get rid of the Mark, and then Ghostway'd the Footsteps away). I win 2-1 (this is the closest match of the draft).
Round 3: I play against a B/G deck, and win with a very fast 2-0. I just steamrolled him.
Some notes...
- Ghostway was absolutely awesome
- Gleancrawler was never more than a 6/6 trampler, but that's all it needed to be, :-).
- Lightning Helix finished off my opponent in 2 games: the decisive games of the Semis and the Finals.
- Boros Guildmage was very good all day. Giving a Gleancrawler haste is just awesome.
So yeah, I lost my MODO cherry and started with a bang. Good times.
Second draft recap to come...
