Pink Mouse Dave and Bert The Pheasant were avid fans of Magic The Gathering, a popular card game that involved creating decks of cards with different abilities and strategies. They had collected many cards from different sets and expansions, but they were always looking for new challenges and experiences.
One day, they heard about a new set that was coming out soon: Homelands. It was supposed to be a set that focused on the lore and history of the world of Dominaria, where many of the previous sets took place. They were intrigued by the idea of exploring the origins and stories of some of their favorite characters and places.
They decided to try to draft the set, which meant that they would open packs of cards and choose one card each time, passing the rest to the other player. This way, they would create their own decks from a limited pool of cards, and then play against each other.
They bought two booster boxes of Homelands, each containing 60 packs of 8 cards. They opened the first pack and looked at the cards. They saw some familiar names, like Serra Angel, Baron Sengir, and Joven, but also some new ones, like Autumn Willow, Aysen Crusader, and An-Zerrin Ruins.
Pink Mouse Dave picked Serra Angel as his first card. He liked angels and he knew that Serra Angel was a powerful creature that could fly and attack without tapping. He passed the rest of the pack to Bert The Pheasant.
Bert The Pheasant looked at the remaining cards. He saw Baron Sengir, a legendary vampire lord that could grow stronger by draining life from his opponents. He also saw Joven, a rogue who could destroy artifacts with his ferrets. He liked both cards, but he decided to go with Baron Sengir as his first pick. He passed the rest of the pack back to Pink Mouse Dave.
They continued this process until they had each picked 8 cards from the first pack. Then they opened another pack and repeated the process. They did this until they had each opened 30 packs and picked 240 cards.
They looked at their piles of cards and tried to make sense of them. They noticed that Homelands had a lot of cards that were related to specific lands or factions, such as Aysen Bureaucrats, Anaba Shaman, or Koskun Keep. They also noticed that some cards had strange effects or drawbacks, such as Apocalypse Chime, which could destroy all cards from Homelands in play; Leeches, which could remove poison counters from a player; or Willow Faerie, which could only block creatures with flying.
They tried to sort their cards by color and type, and then by power and synergy. They realized that Homelands was a very complex and diverse set, with many different themes and strategies. They wondered how they would build their decks and how they would play against each other.
They decided to take a break and have some snacks before continuing. They agreed that drafting Homelands was an interesting and challenging experience, but also a fun and creative one. They looked forward to seeing what kind of decks they would make and what kind of stories they would tell with their cards.
