Marvel Superhero limited draft at FNM. Mardu Aggro @ 11 life vs 4-color Heroes @ 8 life. Mardu Aggro has Agent Maria Hill, Red Hulk equipped with a SHIELD spy kit, and a Thor Odison. Heroes has a Captain America, living legend, The Thing, Ben Grimm, and a gaggle of heroes that clog up the ground. Mardu Aggro is top decking, and will die to the Thing scaling up past Red Hulk. She draws HULK SMASH! Mardu casts HULK SMASH! using the teamwork mode with Red Hulk and Agent Maria Hill, targeting the equipment and punching Cap. This doesn't clear the ground, but gives Mardu another card and two prowess triggers off of Thor, going to 6 power in the air.

And she draws Lightning Strike for the extra damage and prowess triggers in the air. (proceeds to lose the match cuz of The Super Hero Civil War) Rating: Unexpected Habanero / 5

Opening prize packs post event.

I have four marvel packs, friend has two marvel packs from a Canadian Highlander Swiss.

friend offers to swap packs. It's a tradition when we draft. I get up for a bathroom break, telling her that she can swap any packs, tell me afterwards. She swaps one pack in my absence. The rare from the pack she gave me.

8 Person Canadian Highlander Swiss, Finals Match, Game 3. Esper Thoracle Control at 12 life vs Jund Blitz at 16. Jund has a Nethergoyf with 7 types! in the graveyard that kills her opponent in two turns. Esper has Vampiric Tutor, Force of Will, Solve the Equation, and Opt, in hand, only 3 lands.

Jund resolves Thoughtseize, Esper responds by vamp tutoring for Thassa's Oracle, loses the Solve the Equation.

Esper draws Thassa's Oracle, passes the turn.

Jund casts Laelia, The Blade Reforged, and Esper counters with Force of Will. Esper is now top decking. With three lands, Demonic Consultation is the only way to win. 1 / 89 chance.

You'll never guess the card she drew.

Rating: Saccharine / 5

6 Person Secrets of Strixhaven draft, final match, not my play.

4 turns remaining, WB Silverquill tempo at 4 life vs UR Prismari spells at 20 life, both top decking.

Prismari attacks with an animated Great hall of the Biblioplex; she has a 2-turn clock that can still win the game.

In response, Silverquill activates Forum of Amity, surveilling away Eternal Student, proceeds to exile the student and make two inklings to block. No other spells are played for the rest of the game.

This ties the match.
