Last night was the first time I've played a draft in real life, and I ended up winning my pod. I drafted a RB deck (the list is linked), and I'm pretty proud of how I played.
A combination of clean play and a host of removal and burn to back up good creatures allowed me to win most of my matches.
Among the 7 prize packs and the promo I got were a foil Chandra, Erebos's Titan, and the promo Serum Visions.

I have never won a draft. Fun story. The highest I've ever gotten was third I believe, at a Born of the Gods draft. I was running R/G aggro because I pulled a Xenagos, God of Revels and I thought why not?

Thanks, TheDevicer. I'm hoping so, too.
canterlotguardian: Just keep trying. You will win one for sure at some point.

Congrats! I've only ever drafted once, I realized very early on that I should just stick to constructed :P

Congratulations, I won my first a couple weeks ago myself. Ran G/B stompy type deck, Heavy removal. My LGS does a rare redraft afterwards... Kinda wish it were packs, but still fun and I get cards out of it.
Keep meaning to draft R/U, but I always seem to pull a great green card right off the bat.

tclaw12: Thanks, man. I would keep trying; you will get better at it. Also, reading articles helps a lot.
ducttapedeckbox: Yeah, I was really excited about the Chandra, but I half thought, "Where were you during the draft, dude?"
Mj3913: Nice. Have you seen Reid Duke's draft of RG? It was pretty sweet.
A note for the people who looked at my list: I got passed the Exquisite Firecraft. I lolled really hard at that, and promptly put it in.
