We did 5 rounds as there wasn't enough people to split and too many for smaller rounds. Anyway I've finished typing up a budget spreadsheet with all my cards. Don't know if I should just link it here or talk to people privately.

By far, the worst pre-release deck I've ever had with any sealed event I went to. Good white removal, but not enough creatures, and 3 of the removal were Planar/Roil's Retribution, so splashing w as impossible. Green was ass, Blue was ok, I didn't have enough black, and a ton of my red was dbl CC. Didn't open any Evolving Wilds or duals, so running 3 colors was fuqqing me up, but I didn't have enough cards to just go two colors. Could just be me, but this set looks real hard to draft for BFZx3.
Went 2-3 and dropped (8 grueling rounds). 110 people at this game store. Only noteworthy thing I cracked was a Gideon and the U/R Bounce creature/spell and/or 2 damage. It might see play as a 1-of in the Twin/Delver/Control decks. Guy next to me cracked 1 Misty, 1 Windswept, 1 Ulamog, and h is Promo was Gideon. Must be nice.
edit: I guess I did get the final Bitterblossom to finish my playset for 10 dollars. I'll probably try and do another sealed later tonight if I'm up for it. Another chance at the lottery.

Way better than me. Can't pull anything ever. I haven't tried drafting this set yet but it seems like it's going to be a great deal harder than ORI x3.

Yeah, they're still on and it makes browsing unbearable. I turned adblock on for that reason alone.

I wonder who does NOT have it turned on, lol.

Most people would probably consider 10 hours of LoL exhausting, but I wouldn't consider that amount of play time unreasonable.
I do wonder though, could I actually go play some draft BfZ here in Prague? Maybe it'd be cool. Although I don't want to spend too much money... could be fun. If I won any cards I could just sell it on the spot I guess.

Guys were selling the dual lands on the spot at my event. Don't think anyone sold the Foil Kiora or Gideon but those are a bit too expensive to sell on the spot lol.

Parnage plays, and I have it although haven't played much.

I'm holding onto my Gideon, hoping that they'll raise in prices. I can see a few decks running him.
But if I cracked a Fetch/Shockland, I'm selling it on the spot.

I'd be down to dick around the universe with you. I don't really remember the mechanics, but I know I was getting close to buying a new ship.
Flying is hard and fun.

10 hours in a single room with 40 other people can get hot fast.

Easiest sealed of my life, 2 rising miasma, 2 radiant flames, 1 ruinous path, 2 demons grasp. Like I can kill dorks and their fatties.

I had no idea that the southern Appalachian mountains were so awesome, just finished a camping trip there. I guess they aren't as alpine as up north but they still give me that comforting home feeling that I thought I could only find in NH/Maine.
All this MTG stuff, I haven't been able to figure out the new set yet. Looks exciting.
