I started a draft and it was bonkers. And then I was joined by the Benalish Dad and Matt_Daemon for deckbuilding. Part II will be the match recap. Let’s go!

The Build
This draft was very heavy on payables, here are the late cuts.
My interest in Sungold Barrage comes from wanting a way to clear out a big blocker. In the end we decided to go with pump spells.
My interest in Lunarch Veteran came from listening to Lords of Limited (link) and their discussion about the card. I still think I should have found a way to fit them in but is 5 one drops really the way to go? Is it really better than Chaplain of Alms?
Follow up on these points in the match recap post.

Come back for part 2 to see how it went!
editor’s note
That deck is pure fire! I might have put the lunarch veteran back in and cut an Odric’s Outrider (which is a fine card, but grinder than this deck)


i forgot to mention that the Benalish Dad pulled out the hypergeometric calculator for the land distribution.
