My first draft as part of the MF0 project was largely a success. I had been preparing on MTG Arena to draft the newest Murders at Karlov Manor set, but to my surprise, my LGS was hosting a chaos draft of Mystery boosters. I was very familiar with many of the cards from my former MTG days.
The Pulls
There was not a whole lot of value in the packs themselves, but I pulled a few notable cards that will certainly be able to go into a Commander Deck.
The Tournament
However, none of these cards ever saw play in the tournament. What really did the work was what might be my favorite card in Limited, one I remember well from Ixalan.
A two-drop 3/1 on the attack is already very good but being able to pay 4 lives to gain indestructible is very powerful. I forged a Boros midrange deck focused on making tokens and gaining life. The result was quite successful, as I made it to the finals. Unfortunately, in the final matchup, things soured, and I drew no lands, and then all lands with my mulligans. My final opponent had a powerful deck with a Liliana, Death's Majesty, and several other powerful black spells. My deck without being on curve and without good tempo ended up losing 2-0. However, I ended up placing in the tournament and gaining store credit enough for a few packs, giving me enough to cobble together a very poor but legal EDH deck!
Stay tuned for what came out of those packs and the resulting deck.
