Ravnica Allegiance pre-release

I barely did any research for this pre-release, besides reading some of the spoilers for possible interesting Legacy impact. Otherwise, I had no clue about the guilds, no clue what might be powerful, no clue about much of anything.
Went in, had no clue which guild to take- saw that a majority of people were on simic. I did not take that, took Rakdos, and got hosed.

My promo was Mirror March, an EXTREMLY slow hail mary sort of card. After my first round trouncing, I dropped it in favor of splashing for white. Little more removal, and some ok creatures. My pool was weak, so I wasn't surprised to wind up going 1-2-1. Not happy about it, but had some fun.

My final opponent hadn't played paper magic in a very long time- 16+ years he said. The only reason he got back in was because he was playing Arena he said. Well played Wizards, well played.


I have no intention of drafting this set. Just don't like the guilds. I barely drafted any of the previous. I really enjoyed Dominaria. That was a great set to draft. Really enjoyed the lines there. So much could be done!
I've been reading how the spring set, codenamed Milk, is supposed to be amazing. Like hype-train city. We shall see.

Won an auction, gonna be a week or two before the 800 count box comes in. Got it for about $15 US. Bid on the back of some sleeved cards in the box. That's the only reason I even put a bid.
