After a long week of waiting, we're finally here with Dragons of Tarkir on MTGO. Even though we didn't get a chance to post a prerelease, we were more than ready to draft this set. Check it out.
With several paper drafts under our belt, our end record wasn't surprising, but the trip didn't take as long as I expected. I think our first match was our shortest ever. It helped that our opponent didn't get to do much, but Magic is a game of high variance, and sometimes that works for you.
Something I'd like to admit after the fact is that we probably should have been running both of our Smoldering Efreets. It wasn't that I was afraid of the life loss, it was that I find that card personally insulting, and I let that get in the way of my better judgement. It's a bad card, sure, but this was the place to run it.
It also seems funny to me that I don't personally think of black/red as a particularly enjoyable colour combination, but I've now gone two in a row with Kolaghan colours, and I've not only done well, but enjoyed doing it. To me this is further proof that you should never ignore a colour or combination of colours just because it's not your favourite. In limited, playing everything makes you a better player, and in constructed, you'll be better if you have experience with all the colours, even if there's one you don't prefer.
We'll be back next week with another draft, and we'll also be bringing you exciting new content very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Thanks for watching,
-Step.
