Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Sealed


A new Magic set is out! Adventures in the Forgotten Realms brings the characters from Dungeons & Dragons to Magic, and I'm thrilled. I've never played DnD, but it seems the perfect crossover. Anyway, Arena is running its typical sealed event. I participated three times.

Deck 1: 3-3
I ran a blue/black deck that worked reasonably well. 
1 The Deck of Many Things (AFR) 241
1 Spiked Pit Trap (AFR) 251
2 Evolving Wilds (AFR) 256
1 Krydle of Baldur's Gate (AFR) 226
6 Swamp (AFR) 273
7 Island (AFR) 269
2 Pixie Guide (AFR) 66
1 Shocking Grasp (AFR) 72
2 Charmed Sleep (AFR) 50
1 Air-Cult Elemental (AFR) 45
1 Rimeshield Frost Giant (AFR) 69
1 Shortcut Seeker (AFR) 73
2 Contact Other Plane (AFR) 52
1 You Find the Villains' Lair (AFR) 84
1 Scion of Stygia (AFR) 70
1 Shambling Ghast (AFR) 119
1 Forsworn Paladin (AFR) 104
1 Fates' Reversal (AFR) 102
1 Vampire Spawn (AFR) 123
1 Manticore (AFR) 113
1 Yuan-Ti Fang-Blade (AFR) 128
1 Demogorgon's Clutches (AFR) 96
1 Black Dragon (AFR) 90
1 Baleful Beholder (AFR) 89
1 Herald of Hadar (AFR) 108

Deck 2: 4-3
I ran another blue/black deck. I wanted to explore other colors, but it didn't make sense based on my packs. This one also went well.
1 Evolving Wilds (AFR) 256
2 Spiked Pit Trap (AFR) 251
8 Island (AFR) 269
7 Swamp (AFR) 273
1 Black Dragon (AFR) 90
1 Zombie Ogre (AFR) 129
1 Drider (AFR) 98
1 Manticore (AFR) 113
1 Gelatinous Cube (AFR) 105
1 Demogorgon's Clutches (AFR) 96
1 Precipitous Drop (AFR) 115
1 Skullport Merchant (AFR) 120
1 Clattering Skeletons (AFR) 93
1 Death-Priest of Myrkul (AFR) 95
1 Fly (AFR) 59
1 Secret Door (AFR) 71
1 Arcane Investigator (AFR) 46
2 Pixie Guide (AFR) 66
2 Power of Persuasion (AFR) 67
1 Scion of Stygia (AFR) 70
1 Soulknife Spy (AFR) 75
1 You Find the Villains' Lair (AFR) 84
1 Djinni Windseer (AFR) 55
1 Shortcut Seeker (AFR) 73
1 Rimeshield Frost Giant (AFR) 69
1 Rogue Class (AFR) 230

Deck 3: 0-3
Thump. This white/blue/black one fell flat. Too many colors, I think. Three is hard in a 40-card deck.
1 Monk Class (AFR) 228
5 Island (AFR) 269
5 Swamp (AFR) 273
1 Triumphant Adventurer (AFR) 237
5 Plains (AFR) 265
1 Barrowin of Clan Undurr (AFR) 218
1 Evolving Wilds (AFR) 256
1 Monk of the Open Hand (AFR) 25
1 Portable Hole (AFR) 33
1 Dawnbringer Cleric (AFR) 9
1 Flumph (AFR) 15
1 Steadfast Paladin (AFR) 38
1 Celestial Unicorn (AFR) 5
2 Minimus Containment (AFR) 24
1 Half-Elf Monk (AFR) 19
1 Planar Ally (AFR) 31
1 White Dragon (AFR) 41
1 Hall of Storm Giants (AFR) 257
1 Charmed Sleep (AFR) 50
1 Guild Thief (AFR) 61
1 Silver Raven (AFR) 74
1 Wizard's Spellbook (AFR) 82
1 Arcane Investigator (AFR) 46
1 Shortcut Seeker (AFR) 73
1 Feign Death (AFR) 103
1 Shambling Ghast (AFR) 119
1 Fates' Reversal (AFR) 102
1 Baleful Beholder (AFR) 89
1 Clattering Skeletons (AFR) 93
1 Grim Bounty (AFR) 106
1 Precipitous Drop (AFR) 115

Initial impression: this looks to be a great set; I had a lot of fun.
