• Kaladesh Remastered draft really doesn't like me; I thought this deck was pretty good, but it was yet another 0-3. D: At least I didn't waste gems this time. #mtg #magicarena #mtgkld

• Streaming some more Kaladesh Remastered draft (ep 2) https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgkld

  Unfortunately, internet was too poor again tonight for streaming :(

  Ok, I went ahead and did two drafts which was a terrible idea because I did very poorly both times. (Didn't bother getting a screenshot of the second result, they were the same!) Sigh, this format is tough. Hopefully I figure it out by next time.

• Kaladesh Remastered draft ep 1 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #twitch #mtgkld

  Sadly, internet wasn't too good so I just cut the stream short. Too bad, so sad

  Draft didn't feel super good, but I managed to break even in the games. No video because no stream. (In hindsight I could have just recorded locally!) Maybe I'll try streaming a draft again early next week.

• Decided to try a Kaladesh Remastered sealed before diving into draft. Didn't do particularly well, but at least I got a feel of what the Kaladesh limited format is like (again) #mtg #magicarena #mtgkld

  Quoted karsten_frank's tweet:

  I went 20-5 with Gruul Adventures across #RedBullUntapped2020 and the Arena Qualifier this weekend. Deck's great.

  The only bug I encountered was that I lost the first game and it awarded me the prize for the win anyway lol. I won the second game, so I only needed to play twice.

• 10/23 Friday afternoon Zendikar Rising draft! ep9 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgznr #twitch

  Draft no. 11 went reasonably well, although I realized later that I didn't get a full art land for this one, apparently the promo had already ended. Will still play one more draft next week in this series to wrap it up, I guess.

• I think I'll go ahead and turn these 4 mythic WCs from the Uro ban, turn them into Omnaths, then jam them into my Adventures deck. If Omnath gets the axe later, I get the WCs back! #mtg #magicarena
