@anonymous-ki5wn I’ve been drafting a bit this week. Not necessarily trying to win every draft, but more me trying to sort out the format stuff. Try out different things on purpose. Compare contrast what works. What doesn’t and why. I’ve had a few 7-1s, 6-3s, but also a handful of 1-3s, 3-3s… no 0-3 phew 😅 but what was interesting was no 4-3, no 5-3s. So that tells me your deck in this format either does the “thing” or it doesn’t and you do need to be curving out doing the thing or else it’ll just lose. I also noticed my match up and what your opponent was playing mattered a great deal. I had some really interesting findings. I did trophy with a 4c deck 7-1 no blue. I did 6-3 with Jund. I have felt Naya and Jund have both been a pretty consistent draft. Blue has some seriously hit and miss games. Sometimes I win big other times I lose on the spot with the same deck, so it felt the least consistent. I did run some GW in a Naya frame and it was okay. Spiders that distributed +1/+1 counters have been pretty important in most of my green decks. It’s just the first week of the format. Don’t get discouraged. Draft is always crazy the first week. People get broken decks bc their table didn’t know what was good yet. Somewhere around week 2 the great cards are taken where they should be more often and you won’t get ops with absolutely busted decks as often. There were two drafts I thought I nailed an incredible deck but only 3-3 bc well apparently my ops were at tables that didn’t know how to draft and they just had it all! So I don’t hold too much stock in week 1 drafts. Wait for the format to settle and the best drafters will get more consistent wins as the draft settles.
1:02:00 Bushwack "fights" anyways so the tolarian terror gets damaged whatever you do. 1:07:25 I think if you swing with all, they can't block the Firebrands because they sacrifice for lethal damage anyways - so you're bound to keep them and they're at 1 HP and won't heal. Or am I missing something?
@buttonasas -Paying 3 mana for no reason seemed okay too. lol -Firebrands have to tap in order to activate their sacrifice ability, so if they are attacking they can't sac themselves to ping.
@@mtgmonster8755 Ah, right, glad I asked. They still needed to block the savannah lion and leave 1 firebrand unattended, hoping to remove or heal on their turn to not die. OK, I'm done backseating and overanalysing now.
@malasdair Yep. It was a pretty bad punt. Everyone can just skip over game 6. lol, but even with that game the deck was great. Lol thanks for the *7-0… 🤣
Nice draft. Good quick aggro and multiple copies for consistency. Turned out great.
Went 1-3 on my first FDN draft in arena with GW. Nay nay.

i'm just gonna ignore that one mistake in game 6 and call this a 7-0 draft deck. savannah lions is back baybee!!!!!
