I drafted Modern Horions for the second time only last night. I honestly haven't studied the set and know what to expect in terms of card selection/themes, combos, etc. And boy howdy did it show.
I wound up in R/U, and I think no one was actively drafting white at all. How did this happen? There were only 5 drafters. It happens. Its a new shop, it was a Tuesday night.
We all did get one of the fancy new Core 2020 promo packs. I got, ummm, nothing interesting. Meh.
The young kid at the table did land a Wrenn and Six, nice $50 pickup. He had no clue it was worth so much.
Not going to bore anyone with the maturations of matches, but I went 1-2. My deck decided I needed lands at the worst times, a lot of them. sigh. Variance. Didn't win a pack, but did manage to draft value of my cost of the draft by accident. (did someone say pack 3, pick 1, Fiery Islet?!) So that was a win in terms of drafting.
This small shop wants to move in to Legacy sooner than later, but I think it really ought to concentrate on the Standard/Commander/Draft crowd. They don't have enough dedicated space, or product, to make the Legacy crowd happy right now. That takes several years of consistent growth to make it happen. The legacy scene wants to see dual lands for sale, not Ixalan rares. (Sorry Gamer-Corps)

It will have taken just under 2 months, but Ultra-Pro is sending me replacement sleeves. I complained about both the new set I got and my old ones. Today I received an email saying, "Replacement sleeves have been approved and here is your shipping number."
Lets see what shows up.
