Rough Drafts: Ultimate Masters II

by SaffronOlive // Dec 26, 2018

Last week we drafted Ultimate Masters and while the draft itself went pretty well (we finished with a 2-1, losing in the finals), the deck wasn't all that spicy, being a pretty straight-forward GR Madness deck. As a result, I figured we should probably do another Ultimate Masters draft, but this time focus on going deep - like first picking Laboratory Maniac deep! Can a more wacky strategy work in Ultimate Masters limited? Let's get to the video and find out!

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.
