Better lucky than good, I suppose

Went in to the draft on Friday night blind to the format. I just drafted what looked to be the best for the first pack, then settled in to the colors/themes, and went from there.

I started out black/green, but then white opened a smidge in pack 1.
Pack 2, I opened a Resplendent Angel. That sealed the deal- black/white life gain. Turns out, it was a great combo. I think 1 other person was drafting black in the group- which made all my picks so interesting to choose from.

I also got a Death Baron passed my way. While I never got to use the combo, I did have two Skeleton Archers which could have been amazing.

My deck was a tad on the 3+ drop world... but I figured this draft format was not fast. I was right, but it also helps to hit your land drops.

I wound up going 2-1, blowing out during my two match wins and getting land hosed completely on my loss. It happens. Its Magic.


Other than the Mythic, my MVP was Reassembling Skeleton. Just keep bringing it back after blocking was super sweet.

Everyone got a Core Set 2019 showdown booster for showing up. (not to mention the free pizza!)
Here are my pack results:

So yeah, that happened:
Disallow. Nice
Glacial Fortress. Nice.
Land- uh-huh.
FOIL SCARAB GOD. WOW. #Iwon

Got to jam some Legacy with friends Saturday night for a bit. Having 3 players was hard, but it is what it is.
Played a round of pack wars with my winnings from Friday night. Sweet.

My legacy realization- even if you are favored, sometimes you can just be unlucky to a 1 of sideboard card. It happens. Its magic. Random.
