My trade for basic Neon lands came in that day, so I felt it was a sign to go for sure. I restocked the trade binder for the first time in two years, and headed out.
Felt good to crack some packs and pass them.
So much so, that pack 1, pick 1 I won the entire draft. (see image to the right) Alt art, boarderless Bosejiu. And the fabulous point, I wanted a copy of this for my Titan Post deck in Legacy. WINNING!
Oh man, so much good stuff.
My deck was blue/green, and basically had to dance a lot to win. The removal cards didn't flow my way in black and red. It happens. And because of the size of the draft pods, there were 10 people at the table pulling cards. So I stuck to my lane and got ok-ish cards over all. I wound up going 1-2 overall. Not disappointed with results, but happy with the draft results. (I think that makes sense)
One notable thing was this AWESOME table mat made up from the cool full art lands from this set. It was pretty darn cool.
Someone told me it was a $300 item you could buy from WoTC directly if you were a store. Yikes. Not sure it is $300 cool to me... but still nice to see.
Oh, and I traded a few things for things I did need. From what I can recall I picked up another Surgical and a couple Silence.

Mail day!
I spent a little time looking at the uncommon colorless artifacts from this set, and two peaked my interest to spend some cash on as investments.
Patchwork Automation
and
Containment Construct
Both seemed to have interesting play patterns and possible uses in different formats. They also fit my speculation requirements, so I picked two stacks of each kind for the drawer. Lets see how they do in the future and can help me find better cards later.
The Kappa Cannoneer and Malevolent Hermit are for other decks. I've got an 8-cast deck begging for the Kappa, and I think the Hermit might be used for S&S. We shall see.
