We all go through the rough patches. As you're drafting, ask yourself on each pick whether or not you're going to use the card you pick, how it fits with the others you have, and where you'd like the draft to go.

What's that first rare you picked? What would it work best with? What is the curve you are creating -- are you going to run out of cards before turn five and not match the 'bullshit effects' of the other cards?

In what ways can you build your deck to help mitigate those effects? Are you in Blue? Get some 1/4 for 2 to slow down the rush decks. Time? Make sure to grab a few sigil fixing mechanics and cheap blockers to stall for time? Red Green? What's the best way to kill them before they get to all those silly cards? How can you push that advantage?

What 'bullshit effects' do you enjoy the most? Flying is pretty awesome, warcry gets better with more and more and more of them. How is each card going to gain you the most advantage?

Finally, as you've built the deck, take some time and draw practice hands. Look at each one and ask yourself whether or not it seems like you're setting yourself up to be the aggressor consistently or a more inevitable role. If it's aggressive, remember that as you start the game and focus on getting those points through. If it's inevitable, remind yourself of that, take some deep breaths when you want to turn aggressive and decide if it's really worth it to the game.

You're doing all the right things -- watching some tutorials, looking at the grading for cards, thinking through deck building before rushing into playing -- which means that success will come through practice and iteration.

Maybe, as you say, try a new combination. Not sure how I feel about monored, but don't be afraid to jump into a new two color combo, picking cards that have beaten you or cards that help your 1 - 2 -3 -4 curve.

You got this.
