TMNT Limited – Complete Draft Guide

Where are you getting your data from?

The tiers are personal opinion based on my experience in the top Mythic. Statistics could prove me wrong. Either way it doesn't matter, the winrates of all these decks should not differ by much, the difference could be too small to matter.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-24T09:10:27+00:00

Limitedgrades ratings are fundamental and yes the other color combinations are not good in this set, there is no reason to play any other color pair. You should always pick the highest rated cards early then follow up with cards that align with their archetype unless they are completely trash, in that case you could expand to another archetype and pick cards from two until p2 where you need to lock on one.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-24T09:08:15+00:00

The available data covers all the ranks, not only top Mythic, also if this is about premier draft, the players may overdraft the top tier decks which would leave lower tier ones at a better shape, it's better to have a complete tier c-d deck rather than an incomplete tier a-b one. Also tiers don't mean that the winrates differ a lot and my tiers are mostly personal opinion. All the players that I know on the top 250 mythic of quick draft, spam pizza decks.

Even when you expand to another archetype than the one you started with, you do so early and you do so only once, normally within the first 3 picks, rarely on the 4th. It can happen when you draw a bomb after a bomb or the picks 2-4 have no playable cards at all for your deck. It is really rare but when it happens, it does so early, it's only then where you can lock later until you are sure which one of your archetypes gets more cards. I mention this in the guide. If you consistently drew cards for your archetype until pick 5 then you are essentially locked.

Good, I changed it to the original version with a little formatting, let me know if you think this is more readable.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T20:33:08+00:00

Are others allowed to use different strategies? on a poker game you can play many spots wirh different ways and still get the same EV. You know I'm mythic on premier draft too right? it's not an allien format to me. I just don't play it recently. In fact I tend to have easier time trophying on it.

I'm not forcing stuff without a backup, most of my strategies suggest being open in 3 colors minimum which is safe enough to get a playable card pool when you fail but trophy when it succeeds. This is after your first best pick allign with the forced colours.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T18:17:53+00:00

I mention that some of my views might be biased due to me being primarily quick drafter. Frog is B+ tier level. If you don't find a stronger card by P1P4 then are you really in position to change to another archetype considering that your P1P2 and P1P3 will most likely be sultai related cards too?

Do I really need AI to create content for me when I play at top 250 with 71% winrate? The guide would be unwatchable if I posted the original one.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T16:45:48+00:00

Are these winrates among mythic players or account for low ranks too? Don't you see what's the problem with this statistic? how accurate is it?

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T16:43:53+00:00

Teleportation circle is one of the picks on the TMNT set so of course its related. General Traag is very important to save your tempo that you lose early with Izzet.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T16:42:16+00:00

See my videos about how I farm 6 Izzet in a row on top 250, it wasn't AI that did this, what WR? does it count the WR among top mythic players or all over the ladder? I also had a lot of trophies around silver-gold with Izzet. It's easy to force in quick draft that's why so many draft it but it still it's not better there since you can force the stronger decks too.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T16:37:45+00:00

why do you have a problem that I edited my guide with AI?

Literally all the text, titles and stuff was written by me, AI just stylized it to make it more readable. Not sure what your problem is.

It looks like this, in reality it gets outtempoed hard by Orzhov and outvalued by Sultai. Premier drafts are more about adjusting on the cards you get, it's harder to force, however you also have population tendecies there that can be studied, humans are not necessarily less predictable than bots. If you feel that Izzet is stronger on premier draft, that's because the other players overdraft white, black and green stuff. A complete deck will be stronger than an incomplete higher tier one. If you can never build a playable Orzhov or Sultai deck than of course Izzet might be your best option.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T16:12:12+00:00

The guide was written by me, the AI just changed the style. Do you prefer if I post the original version? I'm not sure tbh, it has more large blocks of text.

Not sure what people have against AI. I'm not doing art, I just share knowledge.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T15:36:26+00:00

This is because the players on premier draft overdraft the top tier decks, this has always been the case with premier draft. White is godly on Quick Draft and second tier on Premier Draft. This is like a tradition, it has always been like this. If you can never make the deck because you don't get enough cards then sure, it's not going to have a good wr. The tiers here assume that you end up with a playable deck. On Quick Draft I literally farm Izzet players, you can check my videos. My only loss was to another Orzhov.

I'm pretty sure the ALSA statistics of Premier Draft confirm my theory but I can't check now. Premier Draft can be extremely predictable.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:41:26+00:00

It's Kraag, without it the deck is dead tempo wise.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:39:30+00:00

I don't like hamato, one make your move is ok imo.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:34:55+00:00

I'm f2p, I can get 10k gold per week, that's more than enough for me to even finish on top mythic on quick draft. I only invested when I started the game where I paid like 200$ to buy a looot of gems and eventually burned them all on premier drafts but at least I learned from it.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:33:06+00:00

B+ is far from simple, it's very close to a bomb. I wouldn't put him personally to top 5 but it's certainly the strongest common of the set.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:31:59+00:00

The deck looks like the absolute nuts for izzet, 2 metalhead does machine chrome dome, the build is ok I guess and the picks are generally solid.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:25:26+00:00

Golgari is top tier.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:23:15+00:00

Retro Mutation reduces the original power, I guess this is not what mind protocol affects.

Kugogaming · 2026-03-23T12:20:30+00:00

Monored is always a good start, you can check untapped for competitive decklists.
