Check- preping for a tourament

I am set on the deck I am going to play at the Legacy Pit Open.  Just need to get rid of the one Abrade in the SB for something else- yeah, I am that guy. There are other things I am thinking about making sure I am bringing- here they are:

• Decklist- to be submitted via MTGmelee
• Bag
• Snacks- bars
• Water- bottle(s)
• Life pad
• Pencil
• AirTag  (just in case insurance)
  
• Playmat
• Dice
• Tokens
• Mask(s)  (They are required for the event)
  
• Extra decks?
• Extra sleeves
• Draft land set(s)sideboard list

 

Do I expect to make day 2? No... but luck favors the prepared or some such. 
I've watched several people play the deck I am running enough to know kinda how to handle it in various match ups which means I am going to play completely off the wall decks that I've never see before. Huzzah. 

Still, what I have learned is that I want Sneak and Show to be good- but that is not happening. It is tier 2.5 at this point. Its that bad. It can be super lucky, but thats it. Can't depend on luck right now. 

My goal is to have more wins day one than the crew that is going to the event together. Thats it!

Something else I realized this week, I have 9 different sets of land for sealed/draft time.  Last time I checked I had 7. Since that time I have added a set of full art Innistrad and nearly completed a set of foil full art Dominaria United. 

Normally I don't give a rats butt about foil, but something about the stained glass effect and full art versions got me. I traded for roughly half of the lands, and bought the rest when they bottomed out over this past weekend. (total luck, not skill in this case. None were over $1.5 per card)

I've noticed that Arena has a pattern of screwing me over good during draft play... I will win a couple games than usually mana floods me to 2 loses, win one, then done.  Thats with filtering too... I don't know how else to explain it. Its awful.

Fun pickup for the day- I got 2 LP Unlimited Red Elemental Blast for $6 total.  Seems like a good deal to me... Betas are stupid expensive. These still have the SUPER dark contrast still... I'll take it.
