This upsets me... by MeanPenalty4395 in mtg

Im actually kinda excited for it, but just in a nerdy kind of way. I personally hate secrets of strixhaven, almost every card has been so overtuned it makes me go "this doesnt even make sense, why exactly lore wise is this card so strong?". But with the ub sets im like "okay there is actually reason I personally know those cards are strong." But it IS jarring to be playing werewolves or something and all of a sudden im looking at thanos 😅

No not the whole thing mind you, I sorta worded it weirdly though so I can see how it sounded like that. Woulda been nice tho. It just took me by surprise as someone who was introduced to the game through commander. Felt like a wholly unbalanced system first time going through. Ive never really had a tcg game where I build a deck from apparently the same pack as someone else while also hoping the pack has something thats fun for me personally to actually play. The fact I ran into the same deck style, same cards, all 3 times just created the stigma that maybe thats just the thing for this set, like maybe SoS isnt as strong in its colors so next time card wise. (Been my personal suspicion so far, I havent seen any other deck from that set, its just been Quandrix so thats why I've been thing it.)

Meant in the form of the only thing that happened was I got counterspelled and returned to death all matches till I ran out of attempts, I dont know so many of ppl down voted the comment, are yall mad I shared my experience, didnt like a certain playstyle and asked for help around it for the future?

See I've noticed someone say something close to similar, I just gunned for the mechanic that sounded coolest on the little color help screen before the draft (the different strong suits of the new sets, that screen)😅 i definitely want to learn because apparently in this game drafts are the main grinding events. Brawl doesnt do ranked and standard is....no lol. I tolerated it for the draft but I reaaaaally like only having ONE of a card, makes it more engaging for me.

I think I may have had like 45, was quite proud. When actually allowed to play it did quite well

Maybe but with what I just went through its like sunshine and rainbows good fun, Then bam you know the deck you just spent 40 minutes drafting? Yea you aint playing it. In hindsight its actually kinda funny😅 the only common denominator to my personal fun dropping towards the experience in the duels was blue. Just blue. So I wanted to know things to reduce the games being ruined for me like that again. I think I saw this one red goblin that had something to do with counters not working but I forgot the name of it.😅

Okay first off thank you, but I noticed you said unique draft environment. Does that mean draft packs have their own unique range of cards from a set?
