I just found your channel about a month ago and your videos help a ton! I’m a new player to MTG Arena and your videos make the steep learning curve much more manageable. I just got my first 5 win quick draft thanks to your help 👍
Wow, 5 wins is pretty good, well done! 👍
@@gameschooldadMTG ok i just got some cards that are standard like stone of erech,it is in my collection,but when i try to put it in my sideboard of my standard deck,but it is nowhere?so how card i find the cards and put it in my deck?
Just finished my first draft ever with 7/2 because of your tips!! Pick lands is very underrated, just a couple of my oponents had non basic lands, I picked a few of them and now realize how much of a game changer they are! Keep up with the awesome content :D
Wow, that's a great start for your first draft! Nice :)
Same here, but found after many drafts you do get better, know what opponent might have and be better at drafting overall.
What i’ve learned from watching other drafters videos, is to stay open when picking cards (this ties to tip #7)
Definitely. There's no rush to jump into one strategy in the beginning, there's plenty of time to refine your picks as you go.
I've learned this the hard way, gotten a really good mythic but absolutely no support in it's color(s) yet try anyway and wind up winning only 1 or 2 games
@@Oxygen1004 yeah sometimes we get tunnel vision by wanting to play the big bomb we first pick, but it’s better to draft a more stable deck and just not play the bomb, sadly.
This was really good knowledge, thank you.
For Tip 9. I think you are spot on. If are new to drafting it is better for you to have an idea of how your deck will play and pick according to your play style , over an app that just going compare cards. I know the app may go into some sort of colour or theme weighting. But they don’t account for your play style. Maybe you are use to aggro creature decks or handy with removal or have more experience with a particular colour. You will have a better experience if you pick to your strengths.
What I find helpful is using draftsims sealed deck builder tool after my draft to compare my build against an AI build. It is handy to sort by cmc or colour and get a good overview.
That's a great tip too, thanks! :)
Draft sim doesn’t yet seem to understand that the red cards I want in RG oil are different to RW gear so isn’t perfect for this format
Very great video thanks so much!!
Having the second account is definitely a little bit of a hassle (just a personal hang up) but it has definitely given me a lot more value, as far as improving my draft skills. I’ve never done draft before this set (ONE) and it’s definitely a learned skill
You can do it!
I'm currently on a 50% win after 6 QD (18-18) with 4-3 x 3 on 6 match. I passed only one rare so I'm drafting to collect cards and doing my best to create competitive decks. I have an Untapped subscription that helps me to take the right pick. In some case I preferred to take my decision because there is a focus on most valuable card and you can have some curve issue (too much expensive or too less expensive) affecting the competitivity of your deck. What I saw in Draft is the matches are always longer than in standard so you need to balance at best your mana curve and have some big guys helping you. The removals you will have will be limited so use it careful to create advantage or fill a gap. thanks for your advice and for sharing your knowledge.
I wanna draft MoM this time around to build the collection and play in a more sustainable way. Thanks for the tips!
Go for it!
I would add: know the strongest archetypes of the extension: for example red-white and red-green for Phyrexia because they contain the most powerful common cards, the ones you will find easily during the draft
That's very true, thanks for the great extra tip 👍
Tip number 1 is actually really good. I dont know why I didn't think of it and I haven't really seen anyone else mention it but its a really good idea
So why is a second account good instead of just having one account?
@@zeevisje-8205 because you have dailies. Those eventually save up and allow you to practice drafting, and you're not wasting your gold/gems on the account you actually use. Instead you save those for when you're better at drafting. :)
Honestly did this by accident since I wanted to experiment with different types of decks but didn't have enough gold to buy packs
I only just started MTG about 3 weeks ago . Your channel & Vids have really hepled me immensely understanding the Game, playing Options...well, everything . Thank you very much for what you are doing .
Thanks, I'm glad you've found the videos helpful.
Just started playing a few weeks ago and your videos have been a huge help!!
That's great to hear. Let me know if you have any other questions at all :)
Appreciate this channel ever since staring MTG Arena a month ago
I did my first quick draft ever and went 4-3. Long queue for play and ended up going against silvers 50% of the time. Felt conflicted when faced with the choice to pick a rare that I'd have no use for vs. an uncommon that I could use. Not sure about the time commitment for going through the whole process (reading about lots of unfamiliar cards) vs. doing something like more Jump Ins to get cards. Lots more to do if I want to get enough gems for mastery pass as a free to play player.
I don't like draft on MTGA because you won't be playing the people in your draft pod. Normal draft you can pick around opposing cards or hate draft what you can't play around. In MTGA draft it doesn't matter and you can be paired against someone that's drafted what you did when you planned on being the only one with those cards.
@@imkranlopez5426 yeah that is definitely a limitation of playing on Arena.
Oddly, I did amazingly well during this draft. But great video!
hey thank you for making this. wheres the link to nikolais videos please? im just missing it somehow
Another great video Martin, thanks for the awesome content!
Glad you like them! Thanks for all your support!
I think your tip 10 is the most important with tip followed by 7 and then 1, 3,6,8 and 9 are also good, but none are bad. I think people over value synergy, rares, and rarely look at anlaytics or leverage tools. Learning from a really good draft specialist streamer also help. Some do overpick the rare or go for flashy decks to entice and excite their viewers, but there's much to learn. The untapped gg and 17 lands or limited grades are good objective resources based on data. Keep in mind some of the human generated content like LSV grades can be wrong, but are still useful. Data can be misleading, but 80% of the time it is usually right. In this current format, it is wild how powerful some of the uncommons are beating at many rares and even some mythics with Caverns of Ixalan.
this is a year late but Im just now seeing this. Depending on the format keeping yourself "open" early in drafts is crucial. This is relative to the format as cutting a desired color is also effective. Then to the most important which this did not cover....2 drops!!!! 2 drops 2 drops 2 drops 2drops ....just sayin.
Thanks for this video. I have one question. What is the benefit of having a separate account for drafting? This isn't clear to me.
With a second account you can effectively earn twice as much gold each day, so you can do more draft practice without spending the resources on your main account.
@@gameschooldadMTG Thanks for your quick reply! great channel
Even after watching countless hours and spending 1000s of dollars on mgta , I still only 3-3 every 15 games. Mostly 0-3 is my common standard. I religiously follow the most vanilla standard of bread, bred and follow the vanilla optics of archetypes flavor. I e. Toxic flavoring, I follow the 3 color swing to grab all the basic flavor. I do not obviously understand the micro , macro and nuances synergies in draft. This is more stressful and not as straightforward as brewing or playing constructed , where I do a far better as to the percentage of the flavor meta.
It's a good thing draft isn't the only method for building a collection. If you've spent so much time learning to draft, I wonder where it goes wrong for you 🤔
@gameschooldadMTG not sure. I know I suffer with the time drafts trying to pick cards. I think my problem is the actual brewing of the deck, possibly how I pilot them. I have "drafted" since the early form of it during the ice age era of magic. I tend to stay in my safe zone and play constructed. Also, I think I stumble a bit trying to fill the role of the archetypes. Maybe not understanding the essence of each one correctly, to where I get the appropriate synergies to match up or I am too synergies focus. I am not sure.
@gameschooldadMTG I am just beginning to think limited is not for me. I just spent 300 usd on gems to draft rw wide out aggro flavor archetypes. I went 0-3 every game. I seem to have an obvious misunderstanding with how to brew a more synergistic deck. I had scooped in 4 separate events after mulligans due to lack of mana or curve of hand ls were against curve. Possibly, I do not understand the correct curve for this format as where ranked constructed you have more time and practice with flavor of the archetypes cards and optimization of the deck with saucy and spicy upgrades and Interlocking synergies.
I am probably just not grasping the concept of draft.
@@thescum666 if you do well enough in constructed, then it might be best just to stick with that. I'm not sure what it could be that isn't working out for you, but without seeing it myself, it's hard to suggest anything else.
@gameschooldadMTG I am Still struggling hard with draft. I even repeatedly watch this video plus many others and I still do not get it. How can show you my current pile of what I feel is chauff ans jank. I really struggling with this concept. Especially now it is dmu draft, which I am struggling worse since every archetypal flavour is expected to splash at least a 3rd to get the deck to sync and pilot close enough to the 2 colour outline of the prescribed archetypes. I've even looked up flagship, signit. Signpost and pick up cards of what fit into each category of archetype, and I seem not to draft enough to be synergisticly prepared to pivot enough to draft the commentary archetype in the next class . Can you or point me into an more independent and indepth explanation of complex , but common pivots in flavour.?
Thank you for the videos 😊
A bit long winded m8
Drag us around the barn a few times...
This was helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Drafting Video coming up? Im still doing Jump Ins.. I'll probably start drafting after I've seen you draft.
I'm not the best drafter, but I recorded a good one yesterday. As soon as it's edited, I'll get it lined up to publish :)
I did my ten drafts and put up a summary video but haven’t recorded any yet as early format ones tend to go ‘stale’ as the format evolves. Maybe I’ll do one when I get back from my hols.
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
You too!!
Gréât one, thanks ! 😁👍
Since drafts are ranked, won't get winning become really difficult at some point?
@@schwarzerritter5724 yes the more BO1 drafts you do, the harder the competition can get. If you don't do too many each month, your rank will reset to offset this, or you can try Traditional Drafts which are unranked, but all matchmaking will take MMR into account anyway to some extent.
@@gameschooldadMTG I have looks up statistics, and the ideal goal rank for drafting is Silver 1. It is the lowest rank that decays for 5 ranks each month and the rank decay only increases to 6 at platinum 2. Gaining 5 ranks each month earns more than enough gems for the mastery pass.
Although at that point, I might as well go do Gold 4 for the extra pack at the end of the month.
I missed the poll but went 0.3 today with a green white deck on quick draft
Oh no, that's a shame. I've had a couple of 0-3s in the events that I've done too, I just didn't get anything I needed and it was all over very quickly! It happens to everyone at some point.
How exactly does duplicate protection work in Arena?
There's a lot to say, and it's probably better off in a video of its own, but the short version is... When you open packs, it won't give you a 5th copy of a rare or mythic, it'll give you another card you don't have 4 of yet, so the pack isn't wasted. With commons and uncommons it will give you a small fraction of 'vault progress' instead of anything else, and when the vault is 100% full, it will give you a few extra wildcards. Some things like draft picks and daily ICRs are not duplicate protected.
@@gameschooldadMTG Thank you - so only rares and mythics are protected in packs?
@@DanielSoejbjerg yes, commons and uncommons in packs are not protected, so you can pick up 5th copies of them, and they'll just add vault progress.
Hope the game doesn't screw you and you draw only lands when you need anything else, or no lands when you desperately need 1. I may be exaggerating, but I feel like that was the reason I lost half my games during 5 drafts this weekend.
Still averaged 3 wins and got a lot of cards I wanted so not too bad for only my 2nd release playing.
RNG is real, but good deckbuilding and excellent mulligans help combat this. Mulliganing is a very real skill that players overlook. I can always tell who is new to limited because they keep 7 and don't have a play until turn 3.
@tempestandacomputer6951 well seeing how it has been 4 months since I posted this. I'll agree good decks over time should win out, and mulligan is definitely a skill knowing what is a good or bad opening hand. With that said I still get way too many losses because of land droughts or floods.
This goes for arena as a whole, not just draft. Drafting definitely has a higher skill barrier. I'd like to get better, I think drafting is fun especially when the standard ladder is so stale, but the cost of entry is so high
Love how they always say "I will link X channel in the description" ande never do it.
Sorry about that, lots of things to remember! Let me know what it was and I can add the link 👍
Bonus Tip: watch Semulin’s Joy Of Draft series here on UA-cam and learn the BRAVE method and how to evaluate cards for any set of any game without having to do any homework.
I started watching that before, but never finished it. I'll go back and check it out soon.
@@gameschooldadMTG it’s a great way to ‘steal’ an extra win or two - think my win rate up to plat was around 65%
I work 50-60 hours a week, I barely have enough time to do stuff on one account…
Even if you could get 1 win every so often, you would be able to get a good amount of gold to try extra quick drafts, but that might not suit everyone.
Was having a blast and then I got to platinum and went 1-11 😢
Do I just have to wait until next season for this to be fun again?
I've got a video that's almost ready to upload about this. My quick answer would be to wait until the start of next month when your rank drops back down.
@@gameschooldadMTG I didn’t realize it was monthly reset!
I started a thread on wizard of the coast website on this topic for anyone who would like to up vote it
@@aujew where on their website is that?
@@gameschooldadMTG it’s tricky to find but it’s under mtg arena bug/product suggestions
No link in description?
2:40 But why make another account just to draft? You can't transfer anything between accounts so wouldn't it make more sense to just keep the one?
The second account is mostly for drafting practice. You can only do so many drafts on your account for free, so having a second account allows you to go through extra drafts on your second account to get used to the format, before you risk your more valuable resources on your main account. This other video explains in more detail - ua-cam.com/video/ZN_5KrOJaAQ/v-deo.html
@@gameschooldadMTG I think I must be missing something because I checked all the different draft options and there's absolutely none of them that are free to play?
@@caffeineandsleepingpills They cost gold or gems, but you get gold every day for free just by playing the game. There are only so many draft games you can do on your account before you would have to spend real money to do any more. Having a second account means you can play more drafts using the free gold you earn each day.
@@gameschooldadMTG Hey I love you man and I appreciate the time you spend a reply to the comments but I think you got a very different understanding of "free to play." If I have to farm gold to play something then by definition it's not free because I'm spending a resource. You know what I mean
@@caffeineandsleepingpills Yeah, I see what you mean, that would be a very different definition. You need to spend some kind of resource to get any benefit. For most games like this, you have some balance between spending money and spending time. If it's ever not clear, when I refer to 'free to play', I'm specifically talking about not spending real money on the game.
Not much you can do when you get 3 games in a row where, after mulliganning for a good starting hand, the algorithm gives you no lands and all your most expensive cards. My luck is absolute dogshit.
Yeah that can happen sometimes. Happens to opponents sometimes too.
For me, draft is boring and is a lottery. Not worth no invest 10k gold in this. I better play simple events and win 7 matches.
You don't find entering constructed events is a lottery as well? Seems like there's a bigger risk and a lower guaranteed return on those events compared to drafting.
@@gameschooldadMTGlower risk because draft costs 10K and events only 2,5k
BREAD. If you know, you know.
Definitely a good concept to start with.
For anyone who doesn't know:
Bombs (high value cards, often rares/mythics)
Removal (cheap creature removal is best)
Evasion (anything with flying/menace or is otherwise hard to block)
Aggro (cheap creatures that get damage in early)
Duds (anything else)
I completely disagree with tip#4. In limited you should always try to draft the best possible deck. That way ypu can win more games, get more reward packs amd gems and draft again sooner, which will buold up your collection much faster in the long run.
I wouldn't recommend passing up a good draft card for a rare that you aren't that bothered about, but most of the time you'll have too many playable draft cards when it comes time to build your deck, so you should usually be able to pick rares and build a decent deck. The number of wins in Premier Draft is much more important than the number of wins in a Quick Draft, so it just depends on the event you're doing and how the draft is going at that point.
какой же всё-таки английский гундосный, хана
Drafting is just a scam. I tried twice, didn't win a single round. 4 of the 6 opponents had the exact same colours as I had and they stole all my cards.
Just avoid drafting, you won't win.
I'm not sure what you mean about the opponent stealing your cards? Drafting isn't for everyone, I never used to like it because I couldn't win either, but since I took the time to learn how to improve, I now get a consistent 60% win rate and I really enjoy it.
Tried twice? I would imagine that if you are only doing things that you succeed on the first couple tries then your life must be devoid of challenge. Idk. Maybe you are being facetious, but if not...there is an old saying: third time's the charm...
20 minute video for some tips... c'mon
