Episode 41 - Back to Basics: The Sealed Deck Process in Action
On this episode of The Mana Pool, we
decided to practice what we preach. Last time, we gave you the
basics on Sealed. For this episode, we wanted to show you those
basics in action. To do this, we've done two things. First, I
opened a Sealed pool of cards (a Shadowmoor Tournament Pack and two
Eventide Booster Packs) and copied down the contents. I then sent
the list to Dirk, Mike, Brian, and myself. Each of us had the
following assignment: Build a Sealed Deck out of this pool, write it
down, and be prepared to discuss. Amazingly, all four of us did this
assignment, and we discussed our four very different decks. Just as
a quick preview, there was a black/green deck, a green/white deck, a
green/red deck, and a black/white deck. So not only have we talked
about building a Sealed deck, but we have shown that there is no
absolutely “right” way to build one out of a given pool. You can
find the entire Sealed pool and our decklists here:

And you'd think that would have been a
good episode, right? Wrong! That wasn't enough for you, our dear
listeners. We had to take it a step further. Not only did we build
4 different decks before we recorded, but we also decided to build
another one from an entirely different Sealed pool live on the air!
I opened up the cards at the beginning of the episode, and during the
discussions of the individual decks, I was sorting and typing up this
new list. It went out to the dorks, and we went through the entire
process of building a deck out of it. There's much discussion,
disagreement, explanation, reasoning, despair, and ultimately,
harmony. You can find the entire pool and the final decklist in the
same post as before, but here's the link again:

Hopefully you found this educational,
or enlightening, or at least entertaining. Let us know what you
thought, whether you do it on the forums, in the Facebook group, or
just in an email, so we'll know if we should do something like this
in the future.
