Honestly it was bad luck. My draws looked good (I sometimes keep bad draws because I hate to mulligan but that was not the case here) but then didn’t pan out. One of them had three lands but then I drew only two more spells in the next ten cards and the other just wasn’t what I needed when I needed it.

In drafts I sometimes do well and I sometimes don’t. I was on a high streek for a bit but lately I have been getting a lot of 2nd and 4th place finishes as well as my share of bomb outs.

Out of curiosity, what do you think was the biggest flaw? Slow?

(Not that fourth place is horrible, but I know you frequently place higher.)

I should mention that I played another Treefolk deck in a draft that had a lot of powerfull cards and looked amazing on paper (it actually included Reach as well) but I ended up coming in fourth place with it. It was kind of sad.

So, I decided to try to play Treefolk and ended up with what I considered a rather poor deck. No real bombs other than the Witch (which isn’t even THAT much of a bomb and since only about half the deck ended up actually being Treefolk it wasn’t even a total bomb) and a lot of mediocre cards over all. Still I can’t complain since I ended up coming in first… A whole pile of tough bodies can really carry a deck sometimes I guess.

I don’t know about draft, generally being a non-drafter myself, but for the small league I’m playing in I currently have at least one deck canvasing almost any given Lorwyn creature type… except Treefolk. My Treefolk card pool isn’t great to begin with, and aside from being tough I can’t seem to get them to, well, do anything (other than the aforementioned “being tough” which somehow doesn’t seem enough).

Though I have seen a couple Treefolk abilities which make such a deck look desirable, such as making the rest of your Treefolk indestructible or kinship which allows them to be played for free. So there’s still an outside shot for my as-yet-unmade Treefolk deck, as we open up the remaining league boosters.

Oh, and I almost forgot Weed-Pruner Poplar… but of course the three of those I own are being put to work in another deck
