My takeaways were: Gruff triplets is backbreaking to deal with, the catapults are great fun, and bonus sheets are always an interesting twist

I built rats, guy across from me built rate, all three matches were against rats, it was a great time.
Pulled a promo Skitter as well as Skitter's Blessing and some real good rat synergies. One of my enchanted tales was a showcase foil Necropotence. Pretty stoked on my pulls!
As for the format, sealed has seemed really slow with all the food around. Pretty much everyone is playing black or green so everyone's life total is practically 30. Red seems really strong though in my BR build.
I went 3-0 with UB faeries. Lots of removal and evasive creatures, with a few big beaters at the top end of the curve. The only game I lost was against a BR rats deck that got an explosive start.
Really liked the set overall, the games felt really interactive. It was my first time playing in a limited environment with adventure cards, and the amount of card advantage they provide is impressive !
I was able to draft a pretty crazy BR rat deck, the stars being Firey Emancipation and anime Bitterblossom. Was my first lgs event and was pretty stoked to go 3-0.
Dear opponent: When you play [[Asinine Antics]] when I have [[A Tale for the Ages]] out, the asses that I get are big asses.
