Here's the Draft Log for ZNR Draft #60:

Since they don't currently save P1P1, here it is:
Picture
As always, here's my thoughts post draft but before playing a game:
  • P1P1. I admit. I don't have Omnath on Arena. I think I could have taken Acquistions Expert or Kazuul's Fury. None of the commons jump out. So maybe we get some fixing and I play Omnath. Such a broken card. I'd have to get pathways and filters.
  • P1P2. Sorcerer seems like the best option. Scion means going WB Clerics. Rebirth can be good. None of the commons jump out. 
  • P1P3. I had not seen Shadows Verdict. I think it's been cast on me once. Seems like really investing in Black and not really a good choice this early. Hornbeetle - don't like Green counters. Rootgrazer - don't like Green/White. Skyclave Cleric is not really powered well for late game. Skulker or Field Research. I was tempted to take Field Research to go with the Rockslide but chose the 2 cmc Skulker.
  • P1P4. I thought about taking Adventurer but I have had success with RB Party. Vastwood Surge can be great in a landfall deck. Field Research could have gone towards Blue/Red party/Wizards. 
  • P1P5. Another Scion. Blood beckoning is good for this deck to bring back creatures. 
  • P1P6. Maybe Fissure Wizard but end up with the MDFC. 
  • P1P7. Thought about Warrior. WOW on the Shepherd of Heroes here. White Clerics is open. If we had taken the Scions, dang. But end up with the Spellcraft for the BR party.
  • P1P8. Wizard or Predation. I'll take the MDFC again
  • P1P9. Guess I could have taken Sizzling Barrage but end up with the Duelist. Probably a mistake thinking I would pivot back to Blue. I guess this deck could have gone Blue/Black Rogues
  • P1P10. Not much here. Tormenting Voice. 
  • P1P11. I guess I'll take the Spare Supplies just in case.
  • P1P12-14. To the Sideboard
  • P2P1. Deadly Alliance vs Grotag Bug-Catcher. The bug-catcher makes this work. Wow, look at that Clerics deck I could have had with the Cleric of Life's Bond. In hindsight, probably should have taken Deadly Alliance. 
  • P2P2. Cinderclasm out of all these options. I guess I could have taken Mind Drain or Subtle Strike (to work with my aggro creatures). 
  • P2P3. Feed the Swarm - clear winner. Look at that Kor Celebrant....
  • P2P4. Gladly take the Blood-Priest for BR party
  • P2P5. I was like Electromancer..... WELL ROIL ERUPTION! Red open?!?! 
  • P2P6. Expedition Champion to go with my other warriors.
  • P2P7. Happily take another Skulker
  • P2P8. Mind Drain. Nobody drafting Blue/Red Wizards clearly
  • P2P9. Not thrilled to take the Skitter-Sneak, but I'll take it
  • P2P10. Molten Blast over the Scorch Rider. Probably the wrong call but not by much.
  • P2P11. Vampire is kind of useless. Hunger may make deck but I don't have many counters.
  • P2P12-14. Maybe Hellion makes it otherwise the blue cards make the sideboard
  • P3P1. Nullpriest of Oblivion, gladly take it. Gloomhunter is here but Nullpriest is perfect for my deck.
  • P3P2. Gladly take another Bug-Catcher. Celebrant and Orah. Look at that Clerics deck :D
  • P3P3. Debated this one. Expert vs Charger vs Spikefield Hazard. I think Expert can help early and late, so taking it.
  • P3P4. This was another tough one. Lagac, Drana's Silencer, Disciple. Ended with the one that might be a good indirect removal card.
  • P3P5. Scorch Rider for my deck. 
  • P3P6. Happily another Blood-Priest
  • P3P7. Valakut Awakening or Ambusher - ended up with the 1/3 2cmc card
  • P3P8. Sneaking Guide over another Skulker, in case I need a way to get the Bug-Catcher through.
  • P3P9. Molten Blast - only card here
  • P3P10. Happily take Rage for a combat trick for my Bug-Catcher
  • P3P11. Random Molten Blast.
  • P3P12-14 sideboard material. 

I think there was a good Black/White Clerics deck and possibly an average Red/Blue Wizard deck. There might be a Blue/Black rogues deck or party deck in my seat as well. I think I got a reasonable deck, let's see how it plays.
