Proud of my 3-0 HOU draft deck

Saturday started with a Modern 2K, and I took a janky goblin burn/combo brew with Emrakul in it. Very spicy. It didn't work very well, so I went 0-3 drop. I signed up for the first draft and crushed it 3-0 with this bad boy: http://imgur.com/a/KlnoM

I listen to the show and felt I was putting a lot of the advice to work. I think I was drafting CABS and getting good picks like [[Ahn-Crop Crasher]], [[Hooded Brawler]], [[Ambuscade]], [[Abrade]], [[Magma Spray]], [[Open Fire]], [[Overcome]], [[Emberhorn Minotaur]], and 6-drops that win but have cycling. All of these did great work in games. I felt I was passing good cards in other colors so I wasn't getting cut out of RG. Finally, I felt I played well, getting the most out of Ambuscade (3-for-1!) and building a board state and winning through Overcome among other things. I made some misplays, but I stopped myself from doing stupid things elsewhere and felt good about my performance.

[[Frontline Devastator]] did good work as well, getting 8 points of Afflict in a single game between 2 of them. He also let me use my mana to get more damage when I had nothing else to do with it.

Can't remember the order of picks, but I think Abrade was P1P1...

I felt vindicated so I used my winnings ($10) to buy a Vindicate Invocation and then proceeded to pass my L1 judge exam. So in the words of Ice Cube, it was a good day.

Any thoughts on changes to MB given the SB would be appreciated.
