This draft started off quite well, and it felt like my deck would end up very good since the Izzet and Rakdos commons would fit well into my deck. Unfortunately, Guildpact and Dissension were very disappointing as I didn’t get any of either guild’s top commons. I did end up with 3 Rise/Falls, but wasn’t sure if it was even worth playing all of them. I was forced to play them because I was short on playables, and I am glad I did. The one game I drew all three I used two to get rid of four spells, and the third to gain an insurmountable board advantage. I ended up splitting the finals after two hard-fought victories.
Until Tomorrow,
Rich
