Cardboard Restored

Whew! What a lull in activity here. I'm hoping I'll be able to once again make more frequent updates here, as I do have a lot to talk about, but for now a look at my local Avacyn Restored Pre-Release!

Today I returned to my Limited adventures in Magic: The Gathering while attending the pre-release for the final set in the Innistrad block, Avacyn Restored. A large expansion set, it is solely used in Drafts and Sealed Decks, just as Innistrad was.

Today I managed a 4-2 record with the B/G/r mishmash listed below, after first trying to make a W/G/u version work. I'm glad I made the last minute swap, as the more aggressive build seemed to catch a lot of my opponents with their guards down, as they had built slower decks. As always, I'm curious how you might have assembled the pool, or if you feel I under/over judged cards.

I hope to get a feel for drafting AVR this coming Friday Night Magic.
