10/10 would play. And that's a Dragon.
Seems a reasonable finisher in an aggro build.

On a different note: How does one get the spark back? I have had no drive to play since my boss screwed me out of he Invitational and, since that is over, I should get back on the grind but I just can't bring myself to.

Take a look at what motivates you to play the game and see if that aligns with your current path in life. If the answer is 'no,' take a break from committing so much energy to a hobby and try jumping back in when something strikes your fancy.

I spent too many hours yesterday trying to find out how to purchase the original or prints of Walk the Aeons (my second favorite or tied for first art with the original Avatar of Woe—idk man, androgynous jester reaper with kneeling, weeping women does it for me), hunting high res JPGs, or just generally trying to make this happen before settling on using the closest thing I could get to a quality image of the art and sending it to a printer who can put it on canvas and hopefully ignore copyright violations.

This, of course, because the artist in question is the senior AD for Wizards and apparently shut his site down after getting the job.

That's absolutely one way to rephrase what I said with the same meaning, yes.

I've found that the best DTK draft plan is "hamfistedly stick to your guns unless your deck is Impact Tremors on Vandalize after your pick 1 Thunderbreak Regent" and that wavering from "the plan" is the easiest way to fuck up and do bad in DTK draft (or draft in general really).
for brevity
Some guy was trying to read my draft picks and was surprised I was RG when we played round 1 because I passed Atarka Efreet which was "objectively wrong" for someone who was RG. The problem with this assumption was that P1P2 I would be cemented in RG with a first pick Deathmist Raptor, when my second pick was a (less good) ... I don't even remember, I think it was the 3/3 that adds counters to creatures when you unmorph them. Is that way worse than Atarka Efreet? Certainly. Is it still a card that's going to make my deck? Barring being cast out of green, almost certainly so. P1P2 is too early to hedge or commit to a "deck" -- I know I have one green bomb and one green card that is almost certainly not getting cut from my deck, and if I keep taking green cards I will probably not be cut in pack 3. Now, because I wound up in RG, my deck would have been better overall if I had taken the Efreet (though only in the abstract, as I drew the 3/3 morph thing 0 times over 3 rounds), but what if red weren't open at all after that pick? Now I have one essentially hate-drafted off-color card when I could have taken a card that is good but not amazing in what was definitely one of my colors.
But that's just how I view DTK draft. I'm just buried in product from winning all but one of my drafts so far, so what do I know?

Sounds good to me. I'm just going to force mono-red for a while, keeps me from having to create a game plan at the time so I can just focus on executing.

On to tiny leaders, is a more creature based zurgo deck likely to perform to at least unembarrassingly? All the lists I've seen for him online have been burn, and I already play burn in legacy, modern, and pauper.

The weird irony is that own most of the cards in the lists I've seen for him, and none of the additions are things I'm not already looking to acquire.

I'm not a great player, but I did used to be able to 3-1 with regularity, but I also used to draft somewhere in the weekly range, and now it's every other at best, and none for a couple months before that. I got second Sunday in a modern masters draft (G/b with 3 ulamog's crushers and a ton of spawn makers), so it seems limited to dtk, but that could just be confirmation bias.

My point was don't pigeonhole yourself early in the draft by taking all of the colors just because one card is good when you have a card that should make you want to play a color/colors at the center of your draft.

In all likelihood, they write for the same site and it's important to present a unified face.
