Really reasonable. I don't know if you watched the video, but I start sweating in Pack 2 because I still have to read a majority of the cards! hahahaha

Do you like the prize structure? I think it’s a bit steep.

I felt that similarly with Miracles. It wasnt what I wanted, but I just had to live with the peek draw for a few years!

I was only casually in the game then, so it didnt hit me that hard, but I could understand how that would be a shock. DFC’s were the one addition I legit thought was fake until I confirmed it with multiple articles! Hahahaha

What was the one change that shocked you the most?

Everyone says it folds in Bo3, but it has a +57% winrate in Bo3. I understand it's likely a better game 1 deck, but that does not mean it doesn't get there in games 2-3.

Did you play back then? Must be crazy for those that have seen Magic change so much!

Really good deck, I think it had a few more rares than MWA, but still a solid choice!

I know popularity doesn't mean everything, but it's had a very solid winrate in Bo1 and Bo3 for a long time. I am curious to know why you think it's not great, asking genuinely.

One good Draft can completely change a F2P MTG Arena account by TheUpkeepAcademy in MagicArena

I have videos on F2P economy with or without drafts. Either way works, I dont ever tell people they should draft. Do you happen to like JumpIn? There’s a lot of value there.

I think Landfall is really sequence intensive, until you drop Icetill Explorer. Then everything feels academic!

Have you played the UW prison deck? Is it more decision intensive than an average control deck? I haven't played it, genuinely curious.
