ZNR Draft 55 - Game Analysis

This White/Blue Party deck deserved better. Ended up 1-3. This was played on my other son's account, again because of the Sale on Draft Tokens on Christmas Eve.
Game 1 (Win vs RG Kicker Creatures on Play)
MVP: Dauntless Unity, kicked on three unblocked creatures
The curve played out well and I kept up the pressure and just enough removal. 
Game 2 (Loss vs Naya Phylath on Play)
MVP: OP's Phylath, World Sculptor
I think I missed a big attack which could have brought OP down to 7 but they would have still been able to cast Phylath the next turn. Six 0/1 Plant creatures and then being able to make them into 4/5 creatures really hurt. I didn't have the top end of my curve here with flying creatures. 
Game 3 (Loss vs WG Party on Draw)
MVP: OP's Veteran Adventurer
They hit their curve perfectly to bring out the Veteran Adventurer and that was a beast on the tables I could not grab anything substantial enough. I think I learned that Dauntless Unity isn't really removal with +2/+1 and requiring attacking. 
Game 4 (Loss vs UR Wizards on Draw)
MVP: OP's Umara Mystics
Just one of those games when you start with 2 Island hand and never draw a Plains. They basically got their board developed and then 2 Umara Mystics. Quick dead.

Summary / Thoughts

I think this deck deserved a better fate than 1-3, but one of those games lost to a bomb, another lost to mana screw (no Plains), and the last was just them hitting their curve while I did not. There were definitely not enough big pay offs and the "really good" cards were not stars. Cleric of Chill Depth is really just a Cleric body and not worth multiples unless I need Clerics. And I was right that I did not have enough 2 drops.
