Limited Bad Beats/Eventide Limited

Not much to post on of late. Last four drafts I'm 2-4, last sealed I went 0-2 with a sick deck. So far I've done I think seven sealed events going 4-1x4, 4-2, 0-1, 0-2. The worst part is two of the 4-1s I lost a match via punt and the 4-2 I lost both that way. The 0-1 and 0-2 I just got screwed.

Eventide previews/spoilers are coming along should be a fun set. The interaction in sealed and draft should be interesting. Mono colorshould get a boost as Unmake works in mono white just as well as Plumeveil. The allied color pairs will take a hit and the enemy colored pairs will go up. That said UR might not improve in draft. UR in draft is Power of Fire+untappers. Like Pili-Palla.dek it will suffer from one fewer pack of Power of Fires.

Two things that might improve are cards that focus on all colors and five color decks. In SSS draft you could go five color if the FarhavenElves, Suttlemutts, Manamorphoses, and Flasks came. This will be goodin SSE because you can still play everything. The one issue I see is alack of mana fixing in Eventide which could kill the deck. One card that might become much better in draft and sealed is Scrapbasket. Scrapbasket is the only common which can wear any of the ten color auras equally well. I usually had only had to resort to this in sealed but it might become worth it/necessary in draft.
