There's also a sealed 5k which I'll be playing but I'm less enthused about that. I like building sealed pools but I don't love limited game play.

yeah, we're not the biggest fan of limited gameplay either (especially sealed :/) we enjoy drafting enough to make it worth it though

Punny Street Fighter cards. The implementation of Hundred Hand Slap and Lightning Kick I find particularly funny.

5-3 which I'm actually pretty pleased with given that i only picked the deck up at the beginning of the week and had no reps with it prior.

Now to open a broken sealed pool

Day 1 : do horribly with deck I’ve been doing well with in playtesting

Day 2d: cash 5k with Storm.

Lesson learned it always works to play a deck you know on the back of your hand

congrats!

thats a draft deck. the steelbreaker worked well for us in that deck, but it's a limited sample of course and we heard others talking about how it gets chump blocked too easily and you want to keep your curve low for experimental synthesizer in your red decks.

yeah, that's what was on my mind there, i mean, it's a sac outlet if you need it but in rakdos you rarely care about buffing up a creature, but hey, if it worked for y'all maybe i shouldn't question it

i would trust the content creators who have played with the card more over us. the card is good at actually killing your opponent when they don't have chump blockers but probably isn't necessary.

AI generated cards are interesting but you may have to scan a bit to find one that's coherent enough to judge as a card.
