Today was Fifth Dawn, and we were super-excited to crack it.

First, despite all the great rares available in the set, ours was basically lame:

But the rest of the pack was really cool, with stuff like Screaming Fury (fun despite the Sorcery speed) and Early Frost. And despite the downside of Blind Creeper, we were all excited about the idea of swinging with a 3/3 on turn 2.
