Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've played MTG. Last time I played was before the 'new' MTGO client launched, for reference. Ixalan seemed interesting and I wanted to return to something I used to enjoy - Sealed and Draft!
I've looked over the spoiler a few times and watched some set review videos and have come to the conclusion that this pool appears to be a pile of garbage. A lot of stuff but nothing that really jumps out to me as anything that will win games. I don't see any true bombs that can carry me.
White just seems so weak on its own, but a RW deck gives mean aggressive curve with a chance to finish things off with one or both of the pump spells, but seems to lose to a single Cloudcrown Oakasaur.
UBr let's me play more of the cards with good standalone value but has so few creatures I don't know how I'd every win a game vs. any sort of removal.
A Green base deck, utilizing fixing and treasures, could support a four color approach which seems to have the best mix of a good curve and let's me play most of my more powerful cards.
Any feedback on this pool would be appreciated as I'm trying to get myself re-familiarized with how to think and approach sealed pools. It's been a while and need to dust the cobwebs off.
I've put together a few decks like RW, UBR, and GRUB
