I wasn't initially sold on Strixhaven as far as MtG sets, until I picked up a box of set boosters on a whim. I was mainly looking to get some Mystical Archives cards, so I opted to pick up a box and see what happens. I was very happy with my purchase, pulled some really good cards, and had a great time opening the box on Discord with friends. Even got some good cards from The List, which consists of 300 cards that could show up in packs. I even pulled a Liliana, The Last Hope alongside a borderless Professor Onyx in the same pack, which had my friend and I laughing.Of course, what you pull is still luck of the draw, but I got a good number of valuable cards and some awesome Mystical Archive alts of cards I really like. The set even started to change my mind about my feelings on it, when I actually started reading a lot of the uncommon and rare spells available, since the creatures really didn't interest me. The spells, on the other hand, all struck me as very useful, some of which took a different approach on numerous situations. Like finding some spells for Black that offered more removal of enchantments and artifacts instead of creatures, a form of removal Black normally lacks.All in all, I had an afternoon of fun and exciting pulls. I'll likely pick up another box down the line!
