In Booster, it's better to be lucky than good

As in, no one else drafts your offensive brigades   :P   We drafted RoJ - Kings - Priests - Disciples - Cow - RoJ.  Pretty sure no one was drafting Red, Teal, or Purple:

Red

Peter (Ap) x2
Jahaziel
Abishai (Ki)
Sibecchai (Ki)
Rahab (CoW)
Spy

Battle Cry x3
Capturing Canaan
David's Mighty Men

Teal

Jehoiada
Azariah
Eliashib
Amariah

Jehoiada's Strength x2
7th Bowl of Wrath

Purple

King Hezekiah (Priests)
King Hiram
Thaddeus (Disciples)
King Joash (Priests)

My Lord and My God
Royal Parade

Silver

Angel From the Sun

Multi

Great Multitude

Defense was not the stoutest, especially considering we ran 1 vs 1 games (therefore you need to draft defense a bit earlier than multi).  But I did get some solid cards, like Prince of this World (Priests), Falling Away (CoW), Nicolaitans Teaching, Go Into Captivity, Chief Priests, Ananias (RoJ), and Frog Demons (RoJ) (who can tutor my purple kings).

Things That You Only See In Booster:

I started my first game with a King Hezekiah/Azariah band.  19/20 with a D1.

I also had a potential Joash/Jehoiada band (18/17), but I never drew it.

Used Nicolaitan's Teaching to take my opponent's Angel of Might (RoJ) equipped with Michael's Sword (RoJ) in game 1.  Nic's Teaching seems super powerful in Booster, especially 2-person games.

In my second game, my opponent didn't have any souls to rescue, but I had Rahab in play and attacked with Spy.  The look on my opponent's face was priceless when he read Rahab's ability  ;)

I used Angel From the Sun to grab Thaddeus when I had MLaMG in hand in game 2.  I didn't realize it at the time, but AFtS could also get Peter from deck if needed.

Pretty good, but not even close to Jonesy's Nats Booster deck... ::)

Captain of the Host x3
The Strong Angel
Joshua, Son of Nun
Ends of the Earth
You Will Remain
Battle Cry x2
David (Red, K)

Plus a bunch of other crazy stuff that I'm forgetting...  :P

And don't get me wrong, that is an awesome offense for a draft, but when I hear of "lucky" drafts, my mind just automatically goes to Jonesy's deck.  :P

Which packs were drafted for his deck?  Would like to see how they compare to the 6 we drafted.

And was he drafting with 3 other players that prioritized defense over offense?   :P

I believe Kings, Priest, TXP, Di, EC, CoW, RoJ was the draft at nats but I didn't play Booster so I can't say for sure.
