Hey everyone! Normally I’d start off with some terrible dad joke, but I’ll be serious for a moment (I know, I’m just as shocked as you are) because we may have a bit of a problem here. WotC hasn’t updated their Midweek Magic page in quite awhile so all I can go off of is the Arena Announcements and the Arena event calendar. While I can usually make inferences to figure it out from there, this week is a bit of a conundrum.
It would be easy under most circumstances to just discuss Aetherdrift quick draft (Step 1: Draft green, Step 2: Profit), but this event starts on the notorious holiday of April Fools Day. On top of that, the title of the event is “No Joke! Aetherdrift Quick Draft” which heavily implies that there is some sort of catch to it. That would make writing too in depth about an already solved format a pretty big waste of everyone’s time, possibly exasperated by any number of (extremely likely) curve balls they could throw in.
Unfortunately that leaves me with being able to give you some pretty basic event info and telling you good luck.
