This set is made of stupid fun. As I noted last night at the draft, this is "Wombo Combo: The Set," where the goal isn't building to an archetype so much as bringing together as many single-card interactions as you can into a glorious mass of insanity. In my case, I had so much good stuff, I built a sixty-card draft deck. And I went 2-0-1. If time hadn't run out in Round 2, I might have gone undefeated in terms of matches.

I managed a turn-four Protean Hulk, a Triskaidekaphobia kill, and a Chupacabra eating an Island. I never lived the "Stamina on a face-down Loxodon" dream, but this was, as I said, an incredible amount of stupid fun. (The two Deeds helped there. Both were passed to me in pack three. It's nice being the only person drafting black-green in your pod.)
