Finally, I got to play this one on stream: www.twitch.tv/videos/23628...
A busted pool for sure, but I will note that The Jolly Balloon Man won me as many games as Onslaught and Overlord combined.

I also loved this build: I had a strong RG aggro deck in the pool, but I also had two Pyroclasms, so I decided to try that instead.
Two games ended when my opponent sacrificed Ghost Vacuum and lost immediately to Plague Wind (Overwhelming Forces, for the kids out there).

My sweetest deck was the very last one. I forced myself to play Collected Company as a challenge; I only drew it once, but it won the game instantly.

This was my best run in the event so far: 11 for 30 in winning boxes, including a few on stream. It was a great way to get back into Twitch, and I can't wait for the Aetherdrift version.

Semipro gamer update: Just made about $600 in five hours over three Sealed leagues! And $1800 over the weekend, all through Arena Direct.
As with all my gaming wins, 100% goes to charity — in this case, GiveWell.

Arena Open, Day 2: 4-0 in the first draft!
I thought this was a complete trainwreck, but Snarespinner and Squad Rallier are busted with double Archdruid. Genesis Wave won several games, too. This format has more depth than I initially appreciated!
