Can we get away with a 50 card deck?

0:00 Intro
0:13 Draft portion
36:13 Recommended game: taking 20 direct damage in draft
50:20 More gameplay
1:23:20 Final Thoughts

Results: 0W 3L. Very tough set of games - Meria's outrider too strong for Meria! Had a lot of faith in this deck to do something, but we never survived long enough to take advantage of all our card draw.
The draft was maybe a bit loosely focused, going for defenders, artifacts, elves and domain. We had card draw and fixing, but were maybe too light on removal and domain payoffs. I remember skipping extinguish the light during the draft as it seemed double black was too greedy for 4 colours - but it would have been an excellent removal card in the final deck having cut blue and white.
The weakest ideas in the deck were perhaps elves and artifacts - but it was too tempting to try playing Meria and the Leaf-Crowned Visionary for the first time with a decent level of synergy.
