Welcome back to our second installment of “Sealed Pool.” This time we are going to give you the opportunity to download the cardpool, build your deck, and then watch the video right away. Just don’t cheat yourself by peeking at the video before you have done your homework! We really hope that some of you utilize the comment area below to ask questions, post your thoughts, and for general interaction. Don’t be shy! Let us know how YOU built your deck, the choices you made, and for what reasons. This is the main goal of Training here at the Academy: interaction, as well as improvement. We will do our best to get your questions answered. Ok, enough small talk. Right into the action!

You won't want to miss this Prerelease Sealed event! Chris and A.J. open an incredibly underpowered Sealed pool, build it questionably, and make questionable plays, but can they still come out on top? Watch the drama unfold, and witness their opponents make fun of Chris's and A.J.'s plays (and masculinity)!
I don’t want to be completely off topic, but are you recording this from a bathysphere or some other underwater facility? I keep hearing what sounds like something hitting the hull of a submarine.
Interesting. The deck you build has zero removal, which worries me. I understand there are some good cards in there, but seems risky. Did you consider the Black Blue build? Why not sketch both options out before making a final decision?
