For the limited players out there - how'd your opinion on Play Boosters settle out? (lemm.ee)

I've been taking a break from Magic since the beginning of Caves of Ixalan for a number of reasons, but am wanting to check out Bloomburrow. Since part of the reason I stepped away was the Play Booster changeup for drafting, I was wondering how people are feeling about it. I'd be particularly interested in reading your thoughts on it if you were a hater that has ultimately come around to the change.

That's unfortunate to hear, though it tracks with my expectations. How was MKM in regards to swinginess?

MKM was less bomb-heavy than OTJ, so at least drafts seemed better. I missed the prerelease, so I don't know how swingy it was in limited. I suspect quite a lot anyway - prereleases have always been swingy, and as long as rares are more powerful than commons, more rares in a pack will always make it swingier.

That's true. Thanks for the replies!
