Origins Online Pre-Release


Be. Aggressive. Be-ee Aggressive!

Hey everyone! Welcome to MTG Origins online prerelease! We've got a pretty fun batch of matches lined up for you today. Why don't you go ahead and check it out?



Since Tams and I chose to run our favourite colours at the paper pre-release (Black and Green, respectively), we decided to take a different colour for our online sealed, and since white is part of two good archetypes (so far) in Origins (namely r/w aggro and g/w midrange), we thought white would be best.

As it turned out, those were exactly the two decks we ended up deciding between, and red just seemed too much fun to pass up. If you can be aggressive in sealed without sacrificing the long game, it's worth doing, and with a Sentinel of the Eternal Watch at our top end, we weren't sacrificing anything by running all of our efficient two drops.

Our flat out removal was a little light, as we didn't have a single good burn spell, but two Suppression Bonds were good enough to see us through, and a sideboard Act of Treason worked in one game to good effect.

All in all, we were quite happy with our deck and our play, even in the games we lost we played well, and we're looking forward to being able to bring you a draft this Friday!

Thanks for watching,


-Step.
