Dominaria United Sealed

With Dominaria United's (DMU's) release, Arena ran a sealed event (my favorite format). I participated two times.

Sealed 1

Record: 5-3

I ran an Orzhov deck, which worked pretty well. Battlefly Swarm was a nice blocker, but Elas il-Kor seemed the key; with a nice enter/leave the battlefield ability, when she(?) came out, I tended to win.

Record:2-3

My second attempt didn't go as well. I ran a five-color deck- one of DMU's themes- but I just didn't have the cards to pull that off (it would be difficult in any sealed environment, I would think).
