Khans of Tarkir has been an amazing draft format, but Sealed will always have a special place in my heart. Most of the time in Draft you can orchestrate your deck to suit you, but with a sealed pool, you really need to find the deck you have, no matter what it is. Sometimes it won't be something you're comfortable with playing, and that's the beauty of the format. Getting good with Sealed makes you a better Magic player.
We thought originally that we didn't have a very strong pool, but you can't judge a pool by its rares alone. In the end we discovered that our pool was full of good, solid removal, and enough early to mid game creatures to curve onto the battlefield. With a couple of morphs which we could use as combat tricks, and a treasure cruise to refill our hand, the deck was actually fairly effective.
I was a little sad that the best we could say of our Trumpet Blast was that it pumped two creatures, but considering that that's still four damage for three mana, it's still okay. The other thing I should have paid more attention to Tams about was that we were running both Dead Drop and Treasure Cruise, and we really only had enough graveyard to support one. Since we had all the removal anyway, we probably should have cut the Dead Drop to run another creature.
2-1 isn't a bad record to finish our Khans videos on, and we're super excited to come at Fate Reforged next week. Until then, thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time,
-Step.
