Something we started thinking about as soon as we found out we'd be getting some MTGxFinalFantasy boosters was how we could put our own spin on the "pack opening" video. We came up with this idea of combining it our shared interest in speedruns and just a little bit of randomness, and so: Deck% was born.

The concept is pretty simple: open a booster, turn the cards face down, shuffle them, and then flip cards off the top until you find the first card that could be a Commander, no matter how viable or powerful it might seem. Then, try to put together a full Commander decklist for that card within a time limit. For this first attempt, we gave ourselves 30 minutes. It definitely didn't feel like enough time, but that could just be that we'd never tried this before and didn't approach it with enough ferocity.

We wanted to get as much Final Fantasy flavour in the decks as we could, so we also each opened 3 Play Boosters to pull from, on top of whatever else was in the Collector Booster we pulled the Commander from.

All in all, we're stoked with how this format turned out and we're excited to iterate on the idea.

Thanks again to Wizards of the Coast for sending us the array of MTGxFinalFantasy products seen in this video - we hope you enjoy what we've done with them!
