While I would argue adamantly that I'm not a [...]

Masters Edition 4 is a very solid format to apply "going infinite" philosophy to, offering several cards that will pay for the full cost of a draft outright and a myriad of smaller cards you can comfortably rare draft for value in 4-3-2-2 brackets while you prepare for 8-4. You're going to be on the [...]
