...I guess I'll write up a little bit about the last couple weekends.
Two weeks ago was the Dragon's Maze pre-release. Xanadu held one at midnight that actually drew 20-something people. I chose Selesnya and got paired with Simic. My pool lacked enough playable creatures for any color combination, so I splashed black and red into my bant for two Putrefy, two Turn//Burn and two Rakdos Drakes (the latter to go with my Bred for the Hunt).
This was the hardest sealed deck I've ever built. Staying at 40 cards was so difficult, I immediately thought of Mike and if he'd be able to stay under 50 when he played the next day.
Anyway, I got trounced by Naya round one and was scraping by the whole match - just doing enough to not die the next turn for a while. I thought about going home and actually getting some sleep, but saw that 2-2 still got a prize, so no drop yet.
Round two my opponent no shows so I play EDH with Kurt (Sweet!)
Round three pairings go up and I'm in the middle of a good game with Kurt so I scoop to my pre-release opponent to keep playing EDH.
Before the last round is paired, I proclaim that I want the bye so I can get a pack for going 2-2 and go home. My wish comes true and I'm home asleep by 4 :) but not after opening a third Notion Thief (2 in my pool) and selling them all to the store.
Saturday I play another pre-release at Xanadu. Jimmy comes too and brings beer! My pool is way better today after choosing Boros and pairing with Izzet. I actually have bombs (Aurelia) and splash a single non-america colored card - the new armadillo cloak. I finish a disappointing 3-2, collect 3 packs and sell my fourth notion thief to the store.
