Reality Fracture is on the horizon and approaching quickly. We kickoff with a Pack 1 Pick 2, the most important pick of the draft. We open a pack of Reality Fracture cold and go through it card by card. After that we decrement (1,1) to arrive at another card evaluation exercise Pack Zero Pick One: choosing the best card in all twelve slots and scoring ourselves against a month of 17Lands data and the crowd.

Along the way: why Empower Jace changes how you count what a card is worth, whether Hexhaven Battalion or No Admittance is the better first pick, the 3/4 flier that made us both rethink white-blue, how many seven-drops a ramp deck can actually afford, and a 49-to-48 split between Jiang Yanggu and Fblthp. Plus Ghalta twice, Ajani Unrelenting, and ten supported archetypes for the first time in a while.
