However looking at this list it seems quite surreal to me for two reasons:
1. 3 Mythic Rares in 6 packs?
2. No non-basic lands... I did several (50+) sealed pools on MTGO and also on other sites just for deckcreation and I can't imagine any one of these where there was not a single nonbasic land included. I can remember having 1 and once 10 but never 0.
So two strange things happening to the pool at the same time makes me wonder if this pool is realistic?
It's not outside probability entirely to get this as a pool. Unlikely, sure, but any given pool will have idiosyncrasies that are highly unlikely. My last pool from a paper sealed event gave me only two duals (both U/W) and no keyrunes and that's on par with the fixing here.
But also, this pool was designed this way precisely as an exercise to get people thinking about their mana when they have bombs in multiple guilds. Nate Price said as much in the article. I look at some of these builds, like the one forcing Isperia, Armada Wurm and Jarad above, and wonder if the poster even learned something. The idea is to work your sealed deckbuilder muscles to determine just how far you can push the envelope with splashing without collapsing. I liked my Selesnya very lightly splash Golgari, but I also am starting to come around on Azorius splash Izzet in this pool. 'PLAY ALL THE THINGS' is collapsing.

This Deck was built in 0:17:54Total Deck Size: 4017 Lands --------------- 9 Island  8 Plains  14 Creatures --------------- 2 Azorius Arrester  2 Hussar Patrol  1 Isperia, Supreme Judge  1 Keening Apparition  1 Lyev Skyknight  1 Runewing  1 Soulsworn Spirit  1 Stealer of Secrets  1 Sunspire Griffin  2 Tower Drake  1 Voidwielder  9 Other Spells --------------- 1 Avenging Arrow  1 Ethereal Armor  1 Eyes in the Skies  1 Inaction Injunction  1 Knightly Valor  1 Paralyzing Grasp  2 Syncopate  1 Trostani's Judgment  This was a tough challenge. Good mythics to choose from. In the end though, there were not enough cards to go into Selesnya or Golgari, so I ended up with an Azurius deck. I was tempted to splash red for removal, but since our deck is quite mana intensive I decided to make the most of white removal and not mess up the mana base.
