The kind of deck that can't attack through Courser and Caryatid probably don't play Drown in Sorrow.

Anger is the card to actually be worried about- I'm not convinced Drown is actually that good vs real decks.

Main Decks for the 3 decks I'm trying out currently:
Also looking to drop the black mana out of my Mardu tokens deck so that my manabase does do half my opponent's job for them. I'll post that for comments when I get back from dinner.

I actually have Duneblast in my sideboard, its actually pretty good even in decks where you're blowing up your own guys becuase you just keep whoever is gigantic. Its mostly just for being cute and playing a fun bomby Abzan card. Of course, that's less good against a reanimation deck when I don't play Anafenza (which I took out for Brimaz). .

Alright, first Khans draft tonight, any tips guys?
Draft mono-U. No one will expect it.

Draft enemy colors, then move into whatever looks more open. You have a choice of different wedges and land fixing that way.

Man, Duneblast is the best.

Very similar to what I just posted, but more of a fucked up mana base to stretch to blue for one card. And Nyx Weaver is a good substitute for her because it can go get a card from the graveyard after it has served its purpose.
Other than sideboard cards, there isn't much besides Sidisi that a graveyard deck wants right now. Maybe Taigam's Scheming? It's a great mill card, but you never really want to see blue that early to get to it, if you can help it.

The green options are just straight-up better.

Agreed. But, I mean, if you're already forcing blue..............
no
Also, I think people are hugely undervaluing Rakshasa Deathdealer right now. It's a durable 2-drop that you can put lovely bestows on, like Nighthowler and Herald of Torment and Spiteful Returned. Like thus:
Subtract/substitute/sideboard as much as you like for flavor and your preferred count of Enchantments.
I have to say.
There is no better feeling in the world than having JTMS and LOTV in play, after you wrathed the board, with Cryptic Command in hand and four mana open.
I'm amazed my opponent didn't concede on the spot. Lets me enjoy the moment though. Like a ten minute something long orgasm. What a sport.
Edit: aw shucks. my round three opponent didn't show up. here's my deck by the way if anyone's curious.

In your experience how hard is it to draft while hung over. Would try again, or mental anguish of untold depths?

Nope, hung over. Though I have drafted while inebriated before. Besides forgetting I had enough open mana to play morphs a few times, I did o.k.

How does the faerie play into a 5/5 on T2? Isn't that already achievable with Darksteel Citadel plus Ensoul Artifact?
Drum + a critter lets you do it, yeah. I had Island + Faerie + Ornithopter + Ensoul.

Faerie? You mean the Hypnotic Siren?
Yeah.
I would recommend going to FNM and learning the ropes in draft, or if you cant afford that watch replays and live streams of the format you are interested in. There is a lot of websites that produce good articles too, such as Channel Fireball and Starcity Games.
Looks like a fun FNM deck to break out some evening.
I don't like the staffs or gainsays in the SB though.
I would probably swap the Gainsay for Disdainful Stroke.
Not sure what I would swap the staff for. EDIT: maybe Icy Blast
And there goes Goblin Rabblemaster up to $20. Traded one towards a Mire I needed last week which stings a little but ended up buying 3 for $30 a few days ago to finish my set. Seems a little much being a rare and a box promo but I guess it's going to be a big part of standard until it leaves.
The problem is not nearly as many people buy core set boxes compared to block, only legal in standard for a year and what not. With my playgroup of 7 only 1 person got a box, and it didn't come with a promo rabblemaster
It makes sense when it's one of three or four cards people want from an entire 200+ card set.

Thank God I just traded and bought my set before. Got two for a Windswept Heath and bought the other 2 for 20 bucks.
Yay, Rabblemasters.

Also got an M15 fatpack coming in the mail today. Hope it has some rabblemans in it.

If we do do any trading, I'm willing to trade away my Polluted Delta. I've got no real use for this thing

The Promo Goblin Rabblemasters are on for 14 at TCGPlayer for whatever reason. They're foil and have alt. art... plus cheaper. Win-Win for anyone who still needs 1-2.
I'm curious, I def am in the market for one. I'll shoot you a PM
Played the winning Jeskai tempo deck at an event today. Went 1-2. Beat a Sultai Control and lost to Mardu Midrange and Abzan Midrange.
The deck feels fast and powerful but seems to be very reliant on hitting a turn 2 Seeker and turn 3 Mantis. If you don't hit at least a turn 3 Mantis, you tend to lose momentum and are very vulnerable to the midrange fatties. It feels a bit too reliant on Mantis which is an incredibly powerful card.
Played Stormbreath instead of Sarkhan and the dragon died to all of the black removal. Don't think playing Sarkhan would have made that much of a difference.
And I get that Steam Augury enables Dig Through Time but it I'm not so sure about the role of those cards in the deck. I am presuming that they are primarily used to dig for burn spells to finish off opponents who are already low on life after the pummeling of the early creatures?

People have been running Hushwing in that deck to stop green devo/rhino. Also void snare has seen some play to bounce bros so you can bang.

The story of Taigam and his scheming. It turns out he isn't really scheming about anything in particular, but still a decent story.
The guy in Rakshasa's Secret does have an uncanny resemblance to Tom Ross haha.
Sarkhan dodges some black removal like Murderous Cut, but yeah, it should be cast to either remove a problem creature or at the very least deal four damage when your opponent is tapped out.
It draws you at the very least two cards, with a good chance of being one of your best cards (the three card pile should have your weaker cards), or it draws three weaker cards but might still get there. It digs deeper into your deck and enables Dig Through Time, which should dig the two cards needed to finish off your opponent. Only lands and Master of the Way are bad mid to late game cards, really.
Back when it was a dollar I had a bunch sitting in a cart but I didn't pull the trigger.
Could have had all the money.

I think I might be on my luckiest run of opening packs ever. 12 KoT boosters total (1 draft, 1 constructed, and 4 random packs) and I've seen Windswept Heath, Polluted Delta, Bloodstained Mire, Empty the Pits, Sorin, Butcher of the Horde, Treasure Cruise foil, and Polluted Delta foil. Gonna sell or trade the foils and grab some more fetches, imo.
My god. And I thought I was lucky with my JOU fat pack (Eidolon of the Great Revel, Temple of Epiphany, Ajani, foil Confluence). That's probably approaching $200 in value..
