Strixhaven Sealed

 

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

This blue-red deck fell completely flat.

A white-black deck worked okay, but had to be played aggressively to have a shot.

1 Introduction to Prophecy (STX) 4

1 Environmental Sciences (STX) 1

1 Spiteful Squad (STX) 237
1 Owlin Shieldmage (STX) 210
1 Professor's Warning (STX) 84
1 Unwilling Ingredient (STX) 90
1 Agonizing Remorse (STA) 24
1 Arrogant Poet (STX) 63
2 Essence Infusion (STX) 69

1 Defend the Campus (STX) 12
1 Pillardrop Rescuer (STX) 23
1 Devastating Mastery (STX) 14

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.
