Final Fantasy is here! This set was a big swing for Universes Beyond, and it seems to be a hit. There are plenty of cool archetypes to draft (even if Ben only wants to draft ramp), so let's take a deeper dive into what these vectors have to offer.

Listeners- this one is best viewed with video. Our prizes from the Collector Booster Arena Direct are here, and luck was really on our side (lightly more on Ben's side than on Tyler's).

It never hurts to call in a professional! After crushing it at the Pro Tour last weekend, we're excited to have Ryan join us this week on the show to talk us through what it's like drafting at the highest level. Give this a listen for some great motivation to be the best player you can be (and also for a quick aside about potatoes).

Aetherdrift is quite the format! It's been a while since millstones were last playable. The racing teams are fast and all, but the early data tells us one thing: slow down and have a plan for the late game. Vector Theory can help us unify our plan across draft, deckbuilding, and gameplay!

Okay, so this is technically not our very first draft like usual, but Ben was drafting at an RCQ over the weekend, so it's close enough!
