Hi all!

I pretty much only play constructed formats, mostly Explorer. I never create my own deck because I suck at it. I play lists made by other people that look fun and engaging. For context, I rank at least Diamond every season.

I tend to play a couple of drafts per set, mostly to get gems for the mastery pass. I also play all free phantom drafts. I find the drafts fun but I’m atrocious at it. I usually go 2-3 and perform pretty terribly. I don’t think I’ve ever gone above the silver rank, but I guess I don’t play that much either.

I’d like to educate myself on how to become a better drafter. I like drafting but as a F2P player, my win-rate is unsustainable. I tend to prioritize removal and “bombs” but my decks always feels like a pile of stuff that don’t interact very well with eachover. I use the free Untapped extension that ranks the cards but I think it just aggravates my problem of getting a pile of nice cards that don’t mesh together that well.

Any resource for a total newbie would be very appreciated. Cheers!

    I came here to recommend those two podcasts as well, but you beat me to it. I’ll add that there are lots of great drafters on Twitch (Numot, HamTV, JustLolaMan, Dafore, Chord_O_Calls, etc.) and watching them draft live can give some insight into how they’re thinking about things.
