Surprise! (7-1, draft)

A Xenan 'doing stuff on your opponent's turn' matters deck, with a bit of 'spells the cost 5 or more' matters splashed in. To be fully honest, I wasn't actually paying a lot of attention when building this deck - I pretty much just leaned into taking every fast spell and card with ambush I could see.

P1P1 was Elysian Cylix, into P1P2 Curtain Call. From there, figured I'd play Xenan, and grabbed all the tricksy stuff I could find. Was hoping to stick to two colors if possible, but... As things happened, a lot of the fast spells I picked up were expensive (ex: Imprison), which made Ancient Mechanist and Leyline Tracer better.

P2P1 I was greedy and took an unplayable legend (Spirit of Resistance). On the other hand, I followed that up with Seek Power and Learned Herbalist, which opened up the possibility of splashing (even if 3F is a bad idea in this format). False Prince was also picked up, since the Cylix made splashing Primal the most likely.

P4P1 I grabbed Maveloft Huntress, which solidified the splash. From there, continued to fill out the rest of the deck with cheap units and fast spells.

Highlight: daisy-chaining a 5/5 Baying Serasaur -> 9/6 Mandrake Shambler -> 11/7 Maveloft Huntress

MVP: Learned Herbalist. Fixing is good, fast spells are good, life gain is good.
