Limited events have three types of prizes that we’re interested in: The magic number is 212 rares, four copies of every rare that appears in booster packs. The goal is to get every rare as cheaply as possible so we can be fully loaded to play whatever constructed formats or events float our boat. When we’re looking at the EV of Limited events, we’re always talking about the number of rares we acquire.
#PREMIER DRAFT VS QUICK DRAFT FREE#
At the time, I hadn’t had enough of an opportunity to fully digest the new format, but now that I have I can talk all about what it means for our free to play plans. The biggest follow-up question I got concerned the newly announced Premier Draft mode. I also generally see more top blue commons later than I would expect-particularly Geysermage, Roilmage, and Risen Riptide.Last week I published my updated MTG Arena free to play guide with the release of Ikoria, along with an updated collection tracking spreadsheet to help everyone do their best to avoid spending money on Magic cards. In ZR, the MDFCs do seem to go later than with humans. In ELD, I agree with the blue/red draw two example-I was able to draft a LOT of those in the recent Quick Drafts, but almost never in Premier, as humans just value that archetype more highly. If you can figure out cards they undervalue, you can often draft archetypes that are harder to draft with humans. (In ELD, for instance, it was rare to see a Bake Into Pie or Trapped in the Tower past third pick in a pack.) The bots pick removal VERY HIGHLY, and you should be aggressive about picking removal when it is available.
if you are in w/b clerics and I have the opportunity to cut black early by taking rogue cards, I would do that) than in premier.
As such, I would recommend trying harder to cut a color (i.e. Insofar as the bots pay attention to "signals," it does seem like they respond to cutting colors (i.e.
Having done probably 100+ quick drafts in the last few months, I do think the bots are very different and agree with the observations that others have made: Clerics seem good, since you can just pile up Kor Celebrants and Marauding Blight Priests and be decent without Vial or Cleric of Life's Bond.Īlso, never craft an Omnath. So I think GoodStuff/MDFC Value Pile is more viable, and highly payoff dependent stuff like GB is worse. They also don't value Redcap Melee at all, so I'll let those pass with confidence to get them back.įor ZNR it feels very difficult to get uncommon payoffs, but even good generic Rares and MDFCs get passed. So you can get 7x Seven Dwarves and make them actually good, and it is safer than normal to go for UR Draw Two (while Blue is highly drafted, the bots go for mill first). For example, in ELD, Red is wildly underdrafted. For the same reason you can cut a color vs bots but you can't cut an archetype.Īs for pick order, you need to learn their tendencies. Getting a bunch of Risen Riptides doesn't mean UG Kicker is open, it just isn't a very good card in isolation so goes late. That means, when looking for signals, dumb it down. The important thing to realise is the bots only care about color. What are your takes on the differences between both formats? I know the short answer would be "forget about Quick, just play Premier", but my budget (almost F2P) and win rate (47-53%) make it hard for me to draft as much as I'd want in Premier only. against people? One last factor I notice is that, because the most recent set is only available every other two weeks in Quick Draft, I have a greater tendency of burning out, while Premier Draft is sort of a big thing, and I tend to join it only when I'm in optimal conditions. Does your pick order change when drafting agains bots vs. On the other hand, planting a flag early hasn't been working so well either. Premiere? Sometimes it feels like I'm trying to read signs where there are none. Do you feel you navigate the draft in a different way in Quick vs. And I've been having more trouble in the draft portion in Quick than in Premiere, which is kinda crazy, because I only draft in Arena, and I started drafting regularly way before human draft was available. Since the bots are way shallower in their pick decisions, I feel Quick Draft decks have some sealed-ish quality to them. In my experience, they are different enough that each one has its own features, sort of like BO1 and BO3. Hello! I'd like to start a discussion on Quick Draft vs.
