Man,... Really enjoyed this guide content. You nailed So many things I have encountered & had issues with as well. Now I can apply these color pairings & tips to my next Draft.
Really great guide, great job man, hope this video gets the recognition it deserves ! Currently playing a draft with blue white flyers/ vehicules and i must say, even though i dislike vehicules and blue white, it is one hell of a draft deck if you get the right cards ! Currently sitting on 5/1 but pretty sure i can get the 7 !
You are totally spot on with the U/W archetype! I drafted a U/W build that was super grindy and ended up pulling out 6 wins! It consisted of a couple top-end beater vehicles, the gold vehicle, board wipe and a bunch of card draw. T'was good fun :)
What’s been your favorite color pair to draft in Neon Dynasty? EDIT UPDATE: U/W vehicles is a trap, DO NOT focus heavy on vehicles. It’s more effective relying on control. The artifact deck can be any combination of Grixis colors and relies on aggro game plans with high synergy/high value game plans.
I'm liking green as a primary with any other color or any other color as a primary with black as a decent secondary. Yeah, I know, I really nailed down a position. #noncommittal At least I agree with you, so no one else should want to chastise me and tell me I'm wrong.
Dude thanks! I have been struggling with draft as I am new to it. TBH I have watched multiple videos and yours actually helped me get the wins! The deck building tips at the end really hit the message home with 2 drops!! Thanks so much
my first pack of the season was kami war.... the gods are speaking too me _______________________________________________________________________________
Think of Shrines as the "secret sauce" to win with, but still build a deck focused on a separate game plan. Green White sagas is a great way to shoehorn in Shrines as another awesome wincon for a deck. Do not start just forcing Shrines, but focus on building a good deck - but I usually wind up in Shrines from a Green/White deck start. Then, if you get a mid pack shrine like the green or white one, take that a sign some shrines may be open. I like green white a lot too, because Shrine Steward can grab Auras as well, which you find a few of that are really strong in those color. The Stewards are always solid late pack pickups if you wind up in the deck. Last tip - Make sure you prioritize the dual lands as well - and getting a Terrarium is also very helpful to make sure you get the right color lands. It's a deck that when it works, feels as good as any. But, going 5 colors can just be clunky, especially as the format turns more aggro the more people understand it. The green 1/1 deathtouch and 3/3 defender creatures really help gum up the board and buy you time.
Quick draft is often a more frustrating experience for me, because the format is far more homogenized than I like. I think if you're getting used to a new format like Kamigawa, which has been out for a while - watch a couple draft vids. I really like Numot the Nummy, and his evaluations are top tier. Next would be LSV, just because I love his approach to the game. Watch who drafts/plays what - why they explain the cards they like, and then also watch what their opponents are doing. I generally go Blue/Black ninjas, or White/Black/Green good stuff, or Black/Red artifacts in quick draft. It's fun to play a couple of, but again, gets too homogenized for me to really enjoy. Paper draft of this set is fantastic.
More focus on best commons and a quicker recap of stuff like mechanics and archetypes. Lots of overlap though as they are both focused on Neon Dynasty limited play
It has been great and the 2 life gain is not inconsequential. Maybe I just need to do a ranking video for every card - especially for green because they have so many good cards!
I would like to ask you to do (or suggest) a beginner guide for drafting. I mean, I'm not exactly a beginner in this format. But since I returned to mtga I've struggled get the wins. I feel like I'm doing something wrong in deck building, like how many creatures to pick, how to build with a food mana curve, removals, getting a solid strategy and so on. The last NEO quick draft I scored 3 losses in a row without any wins with a green white deck. Even with the "stronger" colors i couldn't score a win😭😭
That's a great idea - maybe I should do a "drafting 101" type video. Don't get discouraged though - drafting is tough and takes time to improve at! It's definitely a unique skillset to playing Magic.
Made a kami war deck for my sealed today, went 0-3 but honestly I feel like a won a little bit cause I played it 4 times, 3 of the times it got exiled immediately and 1 of those times my opponent conceded the game and went on to win the next game lmao it was fun but definitely not the great
Appreciate the comment, and the 17lands data is always interesting to watch. I've seen it be ranked the weakest as well or show as such, but that's why I also reiterate to not put too much stock into those rankings. Focus should always be on card quality and finding the open lane.
There is so much information in here but you make it really easy to digest. Best of luck in your drafts!
I appreciate that and same to you dude - I'm gonna need it! hahaha
This is the best guide I found on you tube so far!! good job, I will subscribe for sure! thanks my G!!!
Thanks for the sub! Just posted my Prerelease Guide for Streets of New Capenna if you're headed to one of those!

Good luck my friend and I wish you luck on your next draft! hope you’re well
I just drafted my first time today, didn't know what I was doing but I took all the red cards and turnt them sideways
Really great guide, great job man, hope this video gets the recognition it deserves !

Nice - when the vehicles work it feels soooo nice, but tough to pull off. Good work on those 6 wins!
Keep all these vids comin’!!!
Thanks much 😊

Great guide. Ive played the limited bot draft on arena and Imperial Oath / Sunblade Sams came in clutch. so far 4-0 white black
Dude thanks! I have been struggling with draft as I am new to it. TBH I have watched multiple videos and yours actually helped me get the wins! The deck building tips at the end really hit the message home with 2 drops!! Thanks so much
Glad to hear it and good luck in those next drafts!

Get after it!
great guide - absolutly. thank you much
You're very welcome!
best guide for the draft set.... can you give a list of shrine draft ideas?
Think of Shrines as the "secret sauce" to win with, but still build a deck focused on a separate game plan. Green White sagas is a great way to shoehorn in Shrines as another awesome wincon for a deck.
Do not start just forcing Shrines, but focus on building a good deck - but I usually wind up in Shrines from a Green/White deck start.

Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it and thank you!
Great Video, but the draft is still overwhelming for me, new player. Any advice?

What's the difference between this video and the prerelease guide?
More focus on best commons and a quicker recap of stuff like mechanics and archetypes. Lots of overlap though as they are both focused on Neon Dynasty limited play
Good list, though I'm sad that Tamiyo's Safekeeping didn't make the best common list for green. Definitely strong in limited 😁
It has been great and the 2 life gain is not inconsequential. Maybe I just need to do a ranking video for every card - especially for green because they have so many good cards!
Single file samurai! Great name!

Anyone who disagrees with Triple M is automatically wrong... and that makes me right by default!
Well said! haha

That's just unlucky - but way to go in building it! It's always a big sad to have your sweet play immediately removed though :(
@@MountainManMagic it's all the mtg youtubers telling everyone to run artifact and enchantment removal lmao
Bill?
Bobby?
Red is the worst color no contest, and 17lands and a lot of good players agree.
