Strixhaven Sealed

 

With Strixhaven's release, Arena is running a Sealed event. Fun! As my favorite limited format, I participated two times.

First impression: Strixhaven was fun but hard to figure out. The 'Learn' mechanic profits from having lesson cards in your sideboard, which was much harder to guarantee in a sealed environment. I want to explore the set more through drafting.
