I wouldn't consider taking a Cosi's Ravager, let alone play it in any deck of any kind. A 2/2 for four mana with an ability that doesn't trigger regularly is not even sealed quality. Dead Reckoning, while it seems solid enough, sets you back a turn. Far too many of your picks were too expensive, and not even that good. Grotag Thrasher is OK. It's ability is relevant, but five for a 3/3 won't always cut it. If you were to run that card, it would have to be in a much faster deck. I don't want you to become at all defensive and take these things as insults, I just want to critique. I think that what you should take away from this is that as soon as black dried up, that had to be a very bright red flag, so even though you used your first picks on it, it's better to have less cards with higher quality in some colors than more cards of lesser quality in others. Remember, you only need 21-22 of your non-land picks to make a deck in this format, and you get to choose 42 cards. Quite frankly, I think that you're incredibly lucky to have had as good a run as you did in the first draft. To be honest, many of the picks you made were very very low quality.
