We did it: We played an Aether Revolt Magic Draft. At Fyber there’s many special interest groups. That might sound weird now, but it’s all in your head. I’m referring to hobbies and activities. Amongst others we’ve recently started playing Magic again! Yes!!! Magic: The Gathering! The one trading card game that you spent all your pocket money on whilst in school.
The great thing: Now we’re not spending all our money on it – because we make so much more (compared to when we were 12) 🙂
We used the latest edition of early 2017: So over the course of several evenings we played an Aether Revolt Magic Draft with 8 people: Everyone vs. everyone. 7 matches per participant, best of three. Super cool.
My Aether Revolt Draft Deck
I played a Blue and Black deck with only a neglectable amount of cards not fitting my two draft colors:
Aether Revolt Draft
| Creatures (17) 2 Aether Swooper 2 Bastion Inventor 2 Wind-Kin Raiders 1 Shielded Aether Thief 1 Shipwreck Moray 1 Trophy Mage 1 Aethertide Whale 2 Vengeful Rebel 2 Alley Strangler 1 Fourth Bridge Prowler 1 Merchant’s Dockhand 1 Reservoir Walker Spells, Enchantments & Artifacts (9) 1 Negate 1 Metallic Rebuke 2 Take into Custody 1 Illusionist’s Stratagem 1 Cruel Finality 1 Gonti’s Machinations 1 Inspiring Statuary 1 Paradox Engine | Lands (14) 9 Island 5 Swamp Sideboard (6) 2 Island 2 Implement of Examination 1 Servo Schematic 1 Leave in the Dust |
There are some nice combinations with all the main mechanics of Aether Revolt:
In the end it wasn’t good enough though. I reckon focus on one game mechanic less, whilst using the other two more intensively would have allowed for even better synergy effects between all cards. Anyways it was incredibly much fun to play the other guys!
