The interface looks very clean and comes pretty close to the original. Feel like I've been missing a good site to design custom cards so far to make my broken dreams come true.

Special thanks to @yukileebender.bsky.social, Simon Nielsen and @iantcg.bsky.social for helping me during and after the weekend! This somehow ended up a mix of a tournament report, a pick analysis and a short reminder of draft fundamentals, but I hope you learn something!

Happy New Year!
My last goals were a bit too ambitious, and I only finished the LL Points one.
FAB Goals for 2025:
1. Win a major event (BH or higher)

Already proven wrong, first Agent is an aggressive one. Very strong effect. If all of the Agents will have effects on this level, it sure sounds good to never let Arakni transform. If this is what you get by rolling 1, imagine what the 6 would be.

Would've liked to see minor changes like..
CC: Plunder Run unban to buff Aggro a bit
CC: Preserve Tradition ban to hit Zen and Enigma a bit
LL: Electromagnetic Sommersault Restricted to nerf Starvo a bit
Meta is fine overall imo. Matchups are close, small tweaks would be good.

Easy 3 of, always strips a card besides niche interactions like Dominate. Turns on Reprise, and is a blue 3 block. Not much not to like.
From the opponents point of view, at least you get to choose, and you get value from your block, so it's a little bit less toxic than Siren's Call.

This card sounds kinda sweet especially in the context of Riptide. Play this from hand, trigger Riptide put Plan for the Worst in arsenal, flip it up and play it as an instant and grab another trap.
Three of a Kind is also a funny usecase, since you won't suffer the downside on your turn.

Ngl this design is sick. There's a lot to unpack in this text and a lot of unknowns so I'll just post some speculations below.

Kind of a weird usecase card. Legs are usually the slot of choice for AB, and running Tectonic Plating to play this feels like something you don't want to do.
Can get 3 value into Runeblades / Oscilio, but feel like you'd rather want the AB there and get 3 value from other equipment.

Nice design, I like how they brought back Seismics as a requirement, since Tectonics have been out of flavor for a while.
Interesting choice to not let it target token auras. Don't imagine it'll flip the Illusionist matchup but it'll sure help.

This one feels hard to evaluate. I kinda imagine this card won't see play in traditional decks due to how inflexible the card can be especially in combination with 0 blocks.
Feels like the card is at its best if you want to full block your hand, which is not something Brutes currently do.

I cant believe this card is a 3-of tbh. A yellow Lumina combo card that can also eliminate Enigmas board state without real interaction besides Astral Etchings edge cases sounds like an easy upgrade for Boltyn.
Would be kinda funny to see paired with Dusk Path Pilgrimage

Card looks strong, but not too sure how strong. Strong one card play, has some strong extending potential for eloquence turns.
Unlike other eloquence combo cards, Cull putting a card from your own hand into banish could be pretty big.

I really like that the CF Binder Set card is part of the Prerelease now instead of as a CF expansion slot card.
It was always a bit of a feelsbad to pull in the booster, too hard to pull to be accessible, but also a very cool thing to have as collection piece. This is the perfect solution imo.

Maybe time to hype some The Hunted cards up as they get spoiled.
Very cool effect, unfortunately does get hit with collateral damage from all the aura hate cards in the meta like Condemn to Slaughter and Summer's Fall. Especially as one-of, I doubt it will be enough for Verdance.

Ngl this entire World Tour naming isn't doing it for me. Only takes extra clicks or more effort to find out whether the event is a Calling, World Premiere or just a BH
