Rough Drafts: Lorwyn/Lorwyn/Morningtide

by SaffronOlive // Jun 10, 2016

Hello everyone! It's time for another edition of Rough Drafts! This week we are heading back to Lorwyn for some sweet tribal action, but this week was have a pack of Morningtide thrown into the mix. Unlike some formats, where the second or third set feels very different from the first, Morningtide is essentially a continuation of Lorwyn, which means more Faeries, Kithkin, Elementals, Goblins and Elves. The good news is Morningtide adds a lot of value to the format with Scapeshift (30 tix), Vendilion Clique (18 tix) and Bitterblossom (12 tix), so the EV of the format increases quite a bit compared to Triple Lorwyn.

Let's get to the draft, but first a reminder. If you enjoy the Rough Drafts series and other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest.
