Had a really good FNM last weekend. Played 3 commander games, won the first one with my dragon deck. My goal to make it just ok has spectacularly failed; it is easily my best deck. Anyway, my LGS is an official WotC store, so they hand out promos every week. I've gotten some good stuff in weeks past (like a foil alt art Goblin King), this week I got a Cori-Steel Blade. Also grabbed 2 Bloomburrow packs (I LOVE Bloomburrow, it's my favorite set) and pulled something like $25 worth out of one of them. About half of that was a Special Guest alt art Sword to Plowshares. From what I'm seeing online, Special Guest cards appear in one in every 64 play boosters, so it's a really rare pull. Also got a Manifold Mouse, another new favorite.
I downloaded MTG Arena a week or so ago, and today finally got past the tutorial crap. Nothing is worse than super long tutorials for people who already know what they're doing (KH2, looking at you). Anyway, I started playing some real games but didn't have the cards I really needed to compete. I then found out that they give you something like 30 free packs when you start, they're just hidden in your inbox. So I opened all of those, got tons of wildcards, and built out a red/white mouse deck. Manifold Mouse + Emberheart Challenger + any random pump spell is just nutty. I've been playing basically nonstop all evening.
