To inject variety and test pure fundamental skill, developers frequently feature ‘Draft’ modes in special events and tournaments.

Drafting is widely considered the ultimate test of a player’s game knowledge, adaptability, and understanding of core synergies.

Prioritizing Your Choices

The draft phase usually presents you with four choices; you pick one card for yourself, and give the other card to your opponent.

Secondly, you must prioritize heavy removal spells like Poison, Fireball, or Lightning.

• Pay attention to the air vs. ground balance.
• It provides a solid defensive anchor regardless of what else you pick.
• If you have the choice between a Fireball and a wizard, take the Fireball.

Sabotaging the Opponent

Drafting is not just about building a good deck for yourself; it is equally about constructing a terrible deck for your opponent.

If you realize they have drafted three heavy, expensive ground tanks, give them a fourth expensive ground unit.

Embracing the Chaos

Do not panic; remember that your opponent’s deck is likely just as weird and disjointed as yours.

Choose wisely, and outsmart them before the match even begins.
