My local comic store got in half of an unopened box of Revised, so me and three of my friends thought it might be fun to draft it. At $20 a pack, it wasn't the best idea, but it was still fun.
Drafting Revised is hard. In a 15 card pack, anywhere from 4-7 of the cards will be land. It's unusual to get a land in an uncommon slot, and it's even possible to get a land instead of your rare. Because of this, it's exceeding hard to make a 40 card deck with three 15 card packs. Still, I pulled off it off pretty well. This was my final deck:
10 Mountains
6 Forests
2 Atogs
2 Firebreathing
1 Giant Growth
1 Stone Rain
2 Regrowths
1 Nevinyrral's Disk
2 Dwarven Warriors
1 Wild Growth
1 Shivan Dragon
2 Hill Giants
2 Scyrb Sprites
1 Desert Twister
2 Grey Ogres
1 Grizzly Bears
1 Bottle of Suleiman
1 Disentegrate
1 Jayemdae Tome
Sideboard:Burrowing
COP: White
Black Ward
Phantasmal Terrain
Guardian Angel
Mesa Pegasus
Scathe Zombies
Reconstruction
I ended up winning. The prize was 1 Revised pack, 1 Lorwyn for first, and 2 Lorwyn for second. My prize pack rares were Web (UGH) and The Biting Gale.
It was pretty fun. I had more fun drafting Revised than I ever have drafting Lorwyn. But at $20 per pack, it was kinda pricey. No one pulled a dual.
The rares were:
Jade Monolith
Shivan
Jayemdae Tome
Nightmare
Mind Twist
Winter Orb
Nevinyrral's Disk
Stasis
Armageddon
Bottle of Suleiman
Sedge Troll
Millstone
There was also a Serra, a Basalt Monolith and a Clone. So yeah, it wasn't worth $60 apiece moneywise, but it was damn fun.
