M12 – 30-card sealed deck using 4 x boosters

Using the 2 boosters I pulled from the 2 Intro Pack unboxings, and another 2 I bought, I decided to build a 30-card sealed deck. This was inspired by the MTGO format that is popular with a lot of people.

Here are the 2 videos I shot, first the pack cracks, then the build.
