Yesterday was the start of the Dominaria Magic League at my FLGS The Hobbit Hole.

The Magic League is a sealed event, £10, 3 boosters, 30 card deck, blah blah blah. I’ve talked about this before. If you want to know more just go read about it on the WotC website.

As I walked into the geek nirvana I saw 2 of my now ex-students playing MtG. It was good to see them. They weren’t taking part in the league. They were there to play a few games of MtG, buy some boosters, and maybe improve their decks with their pulls.

I got one or two nice pulls that once the league is over will be useful for deck building. But so far this set hasn’t been kind to me on pulls for sealed events. And yesterday was no different.

I thought I’d gone prepared but sadly after I had opened my boosters I realised I’d forgotten to bring any lands and sleeves with me. This was an excuse to throw more money at John the store owner.

I’d promised myself that I wouldn’t buy any of the Ultra-Pro Relic Tokens. Being of very little self control, as I was purchasing the sleeves I needed (Dragon Shield Matt sleeves which are my favourite) I crumbled and bought some.

Here is the deck I built and the sideboard of the remaining cards from the initial 3 boosters, and the booster I bought after 3 losses.

So how did this 3 colour deck do?

I thought I was on a hiding to nothing for the day when I lost my first game. But I then went on to win my next 3 games. After a break playing a game of Commander with my ex-students (which I lost, just wasn’t getting any lands) I then went on to lose my final 2 league matches. So my league record for the day was 3-3.

The deck did better than I’d thought it would. It doesn’t have enough low cost creatures to keep me alive in the early game. This is definitely a mid to late game deck. Which in this format isn’t great.

I now have until my next league game to look at the sideboard and either swap cards over, or completely rebuild the deck.
