Notorious WUBRG: Drafting Unfinity

Last night I drafted Unfinity.  It was not what I wanted to draft (I've been trying to find a Dominaria United draft for a long time, and I keep failing).  However, I had a great time, mostly because of a HUGE misconception I had about how the set works.

Anyways, here's what I drafted:

 

Yes, I first-picked Pair o' Dice in the second pack, mostly because I actually want that card.  I was really excited about Phone a Friend, but I never got to play it.

Here's the deck that I built from that pool:

 

At this point in the draft, I still didn't know that stickers aren't permanent.  (You take them off after each game.)  I did not know that.  To be fair, I did not read up on all things Unfinity before coming to this draft.

I went 1-2 and all of my rounds were fun!  I would certainly draft this set again!  However, I would definitely do some things differently next time.  What we care about here is what I would to be more 5-color-friendly:

  • Nearby Planet: I'm not sure I saw any of these in the draft.  They go fast!
  • Attractions: There are lots of attractions that create Treasure tokens.  Pick-a-Beeble is real helpful!  I would draft more of these next time.
  • To get those attractions going, you're going to want to draft cards that open attractions.  Coming Attraction pulls double-duty here by helping mana fix as well.

The big thing to remember here is not to take these drafts seriously.  This is an Un-set.  Don't draft this if you aren't in the mindset to just have fun!
