I guess this'll do it. Pick 3 actually seemed pretty close between the Ghostly Changeling and the Crush Underfoot, but with Thundercloud passed to me and the rare still there, it seemed like I should just go for it. I've seen Crush wheel before, but I didn't want that thing going around late being seen as a signal or randomly taken. Most picks after that seemed pretty straightforward. Is the red hideaway land (potential pick 21) okay at all? The red and black ones always seemed too difficult to get to (red seems too much like a win-more), but dealing 7 in a turn isn't unreasonable in a Giant deck even before I have the game in great position, and it'll save more mana than usual since there are so many fat creatures.
I didn't lose a game. The third round provided the biggest challenge, as my opponent had 2 Mulldrifters, a Cryptic Command, Briarhorn, a good set of Merfolk, and bounce, but Brion bought me all the time I needed for the Giants to hit the board.
Won the draft.
