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

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

Hey @lsv or @BenS_MTG, do you have an opinion on which one might work for my win-a-box deck here? The fixing is bad, but there's a lot of power spread over three colors here. My first inclination is another (yawn) BR deck, but WR may also have promise. Any ideas?

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
