Two boxes is probably enough for this one. there seems to be some conversation about bombs, and I think it's more true for this format than others - I lost a few at 4 and 5 wins to multiple planeswalkers, which doesn't feel normal. It's a game of pull or dodge bombs - @fireshoes
Four boxes seems enough for me. MoM is actually a great format IMO, companions are great for limited no matter how stupid they are in constructed. But EleshV is just too good for sealed, that's for sure, haha. Cheers to the real @lsv and @fireshoes if anyone is playing it still
I had started a run last night, but the tourney seemingly ended. Except on desktop it was invisible, but on IPad it was still there! So I won a third box just now. If you were in the tourney but it vanished, try logging on with an ipad. Cheers @fireshoes
Hey @fireshoes and @NumotTheNummy, I think something weird is going on with the Direct - I was in the middle of a run last night, but the event is missing from my desktop application. It IS still on my IPad however, and I just played an actual match against someone on it.

I had a difficult deckbuilding choice, but ended up going WB. I suppose it was the right idea, because I won a back-to-back box with it. Attaching the RB and WR ideas in case anyone wants to weigh in on whether I made the right choice or not, @fireshoes and @lsv
Playing hardmode to win a box (that is, not playing RB), had to make it through Sandydog. I wouldn't say this is a particularly fun format, but I guess playing around bent blades is sort of skilltesting. Cheers @fireshoes
Reading Watership Down to my kids, it's got my favorite quote from a card. Someone was really cooking with this line (which in the story is actually a train), it's what got me into Magic as a kid when I pulled this card from a pack

I guess we're doing this again, although I haven't even sold the Wilds of Eldraine boxes from the SoS spillover yet. Just too much value to leave behind. Thor's as good as advertised, and alien invasion is a beast in sealed. Cheers @lsv and @fireshoes
Well, I've never had a deck this cracked in one of these events. Mill the opponent out? Draw your whole deck? Copy all the spells? Infinite loop 6/6 lorecasters? None of the games were close to being close. This is a good one @lsv and @fireshoes
Got there with a bit of a brew, just barely. Beat out an All is One/Moment of Reckoning deck with a traumatic critique for 10 to just barely squeak out the final win. So, cheers for tomorrow @lsv and @fireshoes
Hat trick for three boxes in a row! I just wanted to do my dailies, but I had enough in the tank for one more try and coasted to box #4 overall with Abzan planeswalkers. We'll open one box with the kids and send the rest to new homes on FB marketplace, @fireshoes
I decided to hit the Direct hard this weekend. I fired 17 bullets and won 3 boxes + over 100 packs, the last 2 wins were back to back. It's a format where one card can blow you out, so either going above everyone else or below them seems like the best way to win. @fireshoes
My first time drafting the BF/LED/Breach deck (it's easier with a real lotus ^^) and got the god-hand turn 0 win. Thanks @lsv for all your content, it's a new frontier for me but winning before your opp takes a game action feels pretty sweet

Speedrun on first bullet to win possibly the first box of anyone (1hr18 min after the start)! I made huge mistakes because I don't play this format, but still managed to get there. Cheers @lsv and @fireshoes
My daughter, who loves Verso the Most, made a cake for Verso's birthday today and made the tower out of clay, haha. For those who come after @SandfallGames

Well, the competition felt soft, so I won a box with a great deck, and then won a back-to-back 2nd box with a terrible deck. I'm not sure the format is as bomb heavy as it seems (since the removal is great), or if I just got a string of good luck. Cheers though! @fireshoes
Had a couple false starts, but in a prince format, sealed deck is won by prince pools, and this one was absolutely broken in half. Cheers @lsv and @fireshoes, I'm planning to open this box with my kids when it comes in because we're all big fans of the show
