Draft and Gameplay Strategies

Whether you're drafting or playing sealed, a deep understanding of the format's mechanics and archetypes is crucial for success.

Drafting:

• Identify the strongest archetypes: Mono-color aggro, Gruul adventure, Boros knights, and Selesnya tokens are among the most powerful archetypes in the format.
• Prioritize early drops: Low-cost creatures and removal spells will give you an early advantage.
• Look for synergies: Cards that work well together, such as Adventure creatures or knights, can enhance your deck's power.
• Draft removal: Removal spells are essential for dealing with opponent's threats and maintaining board control.
• Consider splash colors: Splashing a secondary color can give you access to powerful cards, but don't overextend your mana base.

Gameplay:

• Aggro vs. control: If you're playing an aggro deck, focus on building a board presence and overwhelming your opponent with damage. Control decks should stabilize the board and use removal spells to neutralize threats.
• Knights and Adventure: Knights decks synergize well with equipment and anthems. Adventure decks excel at generating value through creature-based spells.
• Tokens and lifegain: Tokens decks create a swarm of creatures and overwhelm opponents with numbers. Lifegain decks can outlast their opponents by gaining incremental life advantages.
• Mulligan aggressively: Keep hands with good one-drops and removal spells. Mulligan hands that can't put significant pressure on your opponent.
• Don't overextend your mana: Don't play too many lands if your opponent has removal spells. Remember, you can cast spells with mana of any color.
