Sealed Event

I’m playing as Lexi. I had some decent pulls for 6 packs. I’ll post the list later, but it is a mix of ranger, elemental, lightning, and ice.

Round 1: Lexi mirror. He went first and simply arsenalled on his turn. That was crucial. He had an Arsenal every turn while I always went through my hand. I tried to kill him with a dominate attack, but he pulled through (I needed him to only have a 2 block, he had a 3). He came back at me with dominate for the game.

0-1

Round 2: Lexi mirror. Again. I won the roll and went first—taking the lesson from the round 1 loss. I did a hefty 9 damage on my first turn and kept the pressure up the rest of the game. Got em with dominate.

1-1

Round 3: Briar. This match was tough. Arcane damage, big earth attacks, and occasional go again meant Briar could deal more damage per card than I could, typically. I was down to 1 HP after only needing to block with 2 cards instead of 3. With the extra resources, I sent a dominated attack for 8 for the win.

2-1

Round 4: Briar. Great game. Came down to one health all. Just needed one turn without blocking to seal a dominated attack for the W. Arcane damage and big earth are great in sealed. I had a gross misplay where I could have stopped two damage with Runaways, but didn’t see it at the time.

2-2

Round 5: Oldhim: Finally, a match against the big man! I got out to an early lead. I kept up the pressure by going wide or dominating when necessary. He did get 11 seismic surge tokens at one point for a free glacial footsteps, but I pulled out the W.

3-2

Round 6: Lexi, again. He went first this time—key to the Lexi sealed game, for sure. He had an Arsenal all game, I did not, mostly. He got out to an early lead, but I struggled back with more frostbites on him and 2 Red Rejuvenates, but he ended up taking the game with a huge final turn of two attacks, the second one for 8 with dominate for the win.
