Juliet’s new game has us picking costs from cards, but we don’t have all our options available! Can we get a mono-red double striking defender? Abzan direct damage? WB creature stealing?
In this game, Khord and Tim were told they have to draft some number of costs and colors.
They didn’t know what game they were playing. After about 10 picks they were told to stop, and here’s what they each got.
It turns out the game is this: You get a card, and have to use your mana values and colors to pick the cost of the card, then provide some justification.
