It’s time for a delicious new set! I’m definitely excited for Midnight Hunt, looks like a good, synergy set with a lot of complexity. I am less excited for little Chandra waking up at 3:40, asking to go potty, and not making it. However, she DID make it to the hardwood floors, so it ended up a B+.

Draft log

Hey we have P1p1s available on 17lands! A pretty straightforward draft, as I focused in on blue in pack 1 then was just shoved into white in pack 2. It’s possible that P1p1 I should have taken the Defenestrate over the Phantom Carriage. But the Carriage is a pretty potent win-condition & card advantage.

game plan

It was a little weird sidelining the two Phantom Carriages, as it’s a very powerful card. But I felt like the quality of my low-drops with the triple Gavony Silversmith was very, very real. And it was borne out.

3-0

Fun starting out with a trophy! Definitely faced some decks that were not yet fully formed. Once again, having a clear plan and sticking to it just ran over less focused decks.
