In today’s video I’ll be playing another draft of the Lost Caverns of Ixalan format! This set is a return to Ixalan, this time with mechanics and flavor themed around spelunking and exploring your way through the endless caverns of the plane! The set includes several new graveyard mechanics like Descend and Craft, alongside the return of Explore with new Map tokens to add to your exploration!

Just the worst luck coming from those starting hands. First game went amazing. Just no coming back from those other three. Good effort though
Brutal. Turn 1 Spyglass Siren is going to be haunting your dreams!

Hate to see you have such a bad draft, but love hearing you’re going back to khans.
16 lands, this format isn't.
After khans, I really have a passionate distaste for lost caverns… Accidentally clicked LKI Premier instead of Khans and was soooo annoyed to be playing that set… Still made 1000 gems back with my deck luckily, but you're 100% right. LKI is either blow out your opponent or get massively blown out. Zero forgiveness if you don't curve out or get stuck on mana… Really makes me appreciate the OG formats. So much more forgiving. So much more fun! Bombs aren't OP unbeatable vigilant GODS. You can play a good card without getting it exiled for 2 mana and commons actually do things. Games don't usually get interesting until 4 or 5 mana plays. Whereas the new formats are just 1, 2, 3, 4 drop, you win… Thats why Dinos are almost unplayable in LKI…
