#Snakedraft overall winner. Siphon Spam Quetzal undefeated.

Snakedraft is a cool format where you take turns drafting a card from the entire card pool. Players go in order from 1-8 and then 8-1 repeatedly choosing cards. If you choose a card, nobody else is allowed to play it, and any card not chosen at the end is free for all for all. Jackson Howard, Sure Gamble and Hedge Fund are not allowed to be drafted, so they are always free to everyone. It can be quite fun mixing up between giving yourself a card you really need and denying someone else a card they really need. No MWL applies.

We played this in the stimhack slack, in the channel #snakedraft (thus the title). We are doing a 2nd round now if anyone is keen to spectate.

I was lucky enough to be player 2 which let me snag siphon and build an entire deck around it.

At the end of the draft, we all build decks and then go for 3 swiss rounds to determine a winner. Both of my decks went 3-0.

This deck is pretty legit. If I were building it with the full card-pool there would not be many changes, so this is pretty close to a full competitive deck.

My biggest concern was dealing with Boom! and Scorched Earth, however neither of the players with these cards ended up facing me in swiss, so I dodged them by virtue of doing well against everyone else. Plascrete caraspace is definitely one of the cards I would include if this was a real deck, as is I've Had Worse.
