Rough Drafts: Ixalan

by SaffronOlive // Oct 6, 2017

Hey everyone, it's time for another edition of Rough Drafts! Today we get to jump into a brand new limited format: triple Ixalan! So far, the reviews on the Ixalan limited format has been pretty mixed, but in these situations the best thing to do is check out the format for ourselves. Just how much fun is triple Ixalan limited? Can non-Dinosaur decks win? How balance are the four tribes? That's what we'll be looking at today in our first Ixalan Rough Drafts! Anyway, let's get to the videos!

Just a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Rough Drafts series and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest.

Naturally, I would play an actual Grixis elementals deck! We've also got the additional mana from Ashling to also fuel our top end in Dream Harvest. This is peak Grixis Greed the deck.
