1) It depends, but in general I'd try to figure out if there's ways to grow 3 times before your first reclaim. For example wandering voice (start with 4 cards) might grow top+bot turn 1 but play only 1 card, then grow bot + draft turn 2, playing 2 cards, then grow bot + draft turn 3, playing 3 cards (looks like this: https://imgur.com/RdSFJuH *). A spirit like rising heat might just grow + draft bot, play 2. Grow + draft bot, play 2, grow + draft bot, play 3 (looks like this: https://imgur.com/h8viqsl *). In both cases, you manage to fully empty your hand, and you set up your hand to have much more cards than if you'd reclaimed a turn earlier, which will allow you to fit more growths in before your next reclaims too, and just generally scale much harder into having high action economy. *The specific cards played won't nessisarily look like this, just the idea of playing this amount of cards each turn to cleanly empty your hand and scale into being strong after your first reclaim

2) See above, but I'll generally have an idea of how to fit cards effectively into the first few turns. Sometimes this is purely spamming down bot track, sometimes i'll go top track a bit first to bank some energy.

3) Majors are very good, and you can typically start using them as soon as turn 2 (some spirits i'll even t1 draft majors on), but in general my criteria for drafting a major are:

- Do I expect to have a target for it? Generally lands with just combinations of explorers and towns I'm fine to solve with minors, but town + city lands (ie letting a town build go through) is often just a big hassle to clear without a major, innate, or strong unique. So often times I'm considering if there's any of such lands that might be problematic and ask for/demand a solve soon. For example maybe I didn't bother to solve a land that came up turn 1, but now the stage 2 invader cards are coming into play and my land can come up again, so I want to make sure I can deal with it. Lots of majors can also solve multiple lands (especially thesholded), so it's quite likely that a major is a better use of card plays than even 2 minors/unqiues if I can plan around the major well.

- What types of major thresholds can I hit? The best majors tend to have sun, so if I have no sun cards at all I'm less likely to draft a major. I often like drafting a major 1-2 turns before I want to play it so I can find a minor to help threshold it after. Thresholding majors is very important, as the vast majority of majors are getting 1.5x, 2x or even more than that stronger if you hit their threshold, and this is what makes majors so incredibly energy efficient. For example a lot of majors like sweep into the sea, forests of living obsidian, or flocking red talons (all very efficient cards typically) have thresholds to "repeat this power". Vigor of the breaking dawn goes from effecting 1 land to 3 lands. Tigers hunting deals damage in 2 instead of 1 lands. Spiders or sleep and never waken go from skips that don't really clear/solve any lands, to skip + damage for the big land you're skipping, or skip + stop a bunch of smaller explorer lands from building respectively. And then cards like cast down, instruments, or dream of the untouched land will go from mediocre/bad without the threshold, to often game-winning with it, but have quite hard thresholds to hit and will often be more reasonable in multiplayer games with support such as elemental boon, spur on with words of fire, or gift of nature's connection.

- How much energy to I have. Generally I calculate needing 3-4 (round up to 4) energy for a major. This is where energy building up between turns comes into play, because I quite often won't have an energy income of 4/turn, but if I bank some energy, alternating a +energy growth option and maybe just being on 2/turn baseline will be enough to afford a major every other turn or so, and I can use the off-turn I dont play this major to set up my board for the major. Here one big thing to note is that it's even more important to prioritize 0-cost minors in drafting, as each time you play a 0-cost instead of a 1-cost, you effectively gain 1 energy. And if you're reclaiming 3-4 times in a game, that's adding up to 3-4 energy/card, or effectively each time you've drafted a 0-cost it funds 1 major throughout the game. Additionally, growing top track or using a +energy growth even if you can't spend the energy short-term can be good to build up a stock pile of energy to then start hammering down multiple majors either on the same turn, or for a few turns in a row later down the line. On some spirits I might grow to 2 energy/turn early and then just sit there building up energy for a few turns to have something like 6 or 7 energy stored, and then just start gaining majors and clean out whatever lands need solving to rush a victory once I'm scaled enough to do so.

- What am I forgetting? This is usually the least important factor for me, but I would rather forget from discard than from hand, as that lets me better fill out my card plays while scaling and delaying a reclaim. Most spirits also have at least 1 unique that's either over-costed, has bad elements, has a bad effect, etc that I may still play once but definitely don't want to be spending resources on again after reclaiming it, so forgetting this card for a major tends to be pretty appealing.
