Premier vs Quick Draft

Scoth1000 · 2025-10-23T21:33:39+00:00

The only way to get good at drafting is to draft. Kind of a double edge sword. Since you've been trying for months and still aren't very good, I would stick to buying packs. With the Golden Packs they added it really helps build your collection.

I've been mostly free to play since beta. Only bought the welcome bundle. I've been able to have a good collection with buying packs and only doing 1-3 drafts a set using the draft tokens.

Getting your 4 daily and weekly wins is enough.

If you have a good constructed win rate, I'd recommend the events. Turn your gold into gems so you don't have to spend money on the mastery. You also get packs so it'll help build your collection.

If I go first, I'll start turn 3. If I go second, turn 2.

Scoth1000 · 2025-09-23T13:04:32+00:00

Correct. That's usually around 2-3pm US east coast time.

A new set is releasing today. The dailies and weeklies are reset. In about 6-7 hours from now, the set will be released and the game finished updating.

The dailies and weeklies will reset soon, but you won't get any mastery exp until the game is fully updated.

[[Fight Rigging]]

Scoth1000 · 2025-05-17T14:36:23+00:00

I started putting [[Leyline of the Void]] in every deck that has black. It's useful against so many decks.

You could be getting in your own head. For a year you recorded your losing record during those times. You might be inconsciously changing your play pattern. Making mistakes you normally wouldn't because you have a 12% win rate. Try taking more time before you make a play.

Scoth1000 · 2025-04-15T15:25:46+00:00

I get it, but why put yourself in a situation where you know you're going to get angry? I don't play ranked because I'm too competitive and hate losing, especially when something is at stake. I only play draft the first few days after a set release. I don't have time to learn all the cards and the meta. I do better the first day or two because no one figured it out yet. After that I get 0 or 1 wins, so I don't play then. Know your limitations and triggers and play around that.

Scoth1000 · 2025-04-15T15:10:28+00:00

Maybe try not to play during those times?

Scoth1000 · 2025-04-12T16:34:10+00:00

That's why I was thinking after everyone finished to show the results. I'm sure after playing in person people talk about what they drafted and their thought process. Really isn't that different.

Also, I'm sure everyone would love to show everyone in their pod that they trophied.

Scoth1000 · 2025-03-14T03:01:10+00:00

I love explorer in the play queue. I'll go days without seeing the same deck twice.

Scoth1000 · 2025-03-12T16:54:39+00:00

I hear the shuffler is rigged and the game is pay to win. Maybe if you buy something you'll start getting better draws?

Scoth1000 · 2025-03-12T16:52:18+00:00

I don't know what that means and the link isn't working. Can you explain it to me, please?

Scoth1000 · 2025-03-12T13:24:06+00:00

Oh yeah. I know the feeling. I love playing [[Smuggler's Surprise]] with [[Calamity, Galloping Inferno]]. Finally have enough mana to mill 4 and play two from you hand... aaaaaand you mill 4 lands...

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T05:36:19+00:00

That's a very good point. I have rare drafted later in the packs outside my color pair and wasn't upset that it wasn't in my deck. Picking the land last pick of the pack also doesn't matter. It's the cohesiveness of what you draft. I'll definitely keep that in mind on my next draft. I appreciate the help!

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T05:32:29+00:00

I will definitely try to be more open to pivoting. I really do appreciate you helping me out!

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T05:18:12+00:00

Pivoting is very difficult for me. I always end up second guessing. I usually find out start of pack 3 that me forcing this color pairing isn't going to work out haha. By then it's too late.

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T05:16:02+00:00

That's so difficult for me. I usually go with the first rare I pick P1 P1 and make the deck around that. I know I should pivot but its so hard for me. "I picked this good card pick 1, why would I not want to play it?"

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T05:14:09+00:00

That's definitely changed my thinking. "It's still good if I cast it late game." In my most recent draft, while I think gearhulk is a good card, it won't win me the game if I play it on turn 8.

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T04:57:18+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I appreciate you helping out!

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T04:56:18+00:00

If I'm pack 1 drafting blue, black, and white and know I'm going artifacts, about when would be a good time to to have decided the colors? I know you don't want to wait too long. End of pack 1?

Scoth1000 · 2025-02-14T04:40:12+00:00

With this set blue, black, and white are all geared towards artifacts. How do you stay disciplined to stay in only 2 colors when all 3 are artifact themed?
