Last round, The Brockerfellers were pleased when Phoenix Foundation chose to kick-off the draft. Their strategy had been to receive leading up to that round and when they won the flip for the final draft of the weekend they stuck to it. The strategy may just be a hold over for them from last season as they had not done any practice drafts in this format before they sat down on Saturday for round seven.

The strongest word about the draft came from the commentators providing play by play for the crowd. When Linde took the Dragon Scales over Daru Warchief, Tom Guevin wondered about the effects of 'partying' on the minds of college students—which drew a huge laugh from the crowd. "It gives all your guys +1/+2!"

The slackers may have wasted too many picks on counterdrafts. Early on they took a Contested Cliffs to keep it away from Brock—Cliffs is virtually unplayable in the C-seat. This gave Brock a Wirewood Savage and no real card for Lovre. They could have passed the Cliffs and taken an Improvised Armor that ended up in Linde's deck instead. The Savage would have found it's way to Lovre's deck and then he would have had to look for land destruction.

Later on Rickard took an Ambush Commander and gave Brock a Wirewood Symbiote—a similarly bombilicious card—and left nothing for Lovre. Both Lovre and may have been a little thin on cards as a result.

Interestingly Huey considered himself a huge underdog despite being ahead for most for the draft until Jake opened a pair of Putrid Raptors. Despite putting himself at a disadvantage, Huey thought his teammates were tremendous favorites to win their matches. They could only agree. Linde felt his opponent had nothing while he had three Dragon Scales and a Silent Specter. He also had three Sootfeather Flock—a nice target for his scales, "Have you heard of Serra Angel?"

Jake had left himself in a good position to take the Putrid Raptors with some early Gempalm Polluters and an Infernal Caretaker despite being low on Zombies at that point. He had to pass up Clutch of Undeath each time but felt he had little to fear in the way of Huey casting a Clutch on any of his morphs.
