Here's a list of some cards that I see as very usable in the 30 card draft format.
2 swamp removal. Much better than Wild Growth in combat. You could even splash black for this.
Early aggressor which becomes a 3/3 with Infect if it's blocked. Attack with it every turn. Use a set of them to build up your poison counters on the other player.
Free to play. The defense is nice but it's really the early game vigilance that can shine in the draft format.
A Contagion Engine-lite (no poison). With the Ichorclaw Myr it can stack poison counters early. Without the Ichorclaw Myr, it stands on its own to either proliferate any effects going on, or with its -1/-1 counter, remove creatures or make it easier for you to get board presence.
Please comment with what you feel are the solid draft picks out of this set.
I wish I go into this when I was younger
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to learn. The tournament I played in last night had 30 and 40 year players. Some of them started in 1994 / 1993 and seemed mentally stable.
