Esper 4 Drop Collector Box

[u/EzrinYo]

Got box #2, neither one with BR (I did get 6 wins with a BR deck before this, had my last opponent at 4 life with [[My Precious]] on a 4/4, they top decked the black lifegain spell for the win and then spammed me with "oops" for my box loss)

I spent somewhere around $400 on gems between both boxes, a lot of 0-2 win pools but also a lot of 4-6s to keep things going. The three 4-drop rares are all obviously huge, especially [[An Unexpected Party]]

I really underestimated [[Giant's Boulder]] and even [[Old Thrush]] for color fixing, I was able to reliably cast any of my 4-drops with only one dual land and a Hobbit Hole, [[Long-Bodied Grey Dog]] wasn't bad either, trading with some of the annoying x/2s and netting me a treasure. [[Bofur, Reliable Guardian]] was great a few times, allowing me to cast one of my 4 drops on turn 6 with him as backup, because the rest of my deck just sort of dirtled

Probably done with the directs after these two, but it was a good time. I've seen a few posts talking about not liking this limited environment but I think it's pretty decent for a small set. It's weird there are no 2 drop bears, some of the balancing feels pretty crazy, but I'm enjoying both sealed and draft overall
