Welcome to the channel of Magic the Gathering Arena Limited Gameplay where we release a new MTGA draft each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (with a couple of exceptions)! Here at Daily Draft, we make it a priority to post EVERY draft we record, WIN OR LOSE. Trophies are ideal for everyone, but we know that can’t always be the case, so we’re here to learn from every draft! We’re also not perfect! (Just like you!) So yes we make mistakes, but we try to focus on how to recover from those mistakes rather than dwelling on the punts. It just makes it more fun for everyone!

This is some insane synergy, love to see it. I think at a higher power level mulligans are more important, especially for aggro: just such a punishment if you don't get off to a great start.
Just a shoutout, I usually just use DraftSim to both simulate the pool and attempt the build, but I just tried SealedDeck.Tech...made quite a difference! I tried a Jeskai build, and it accounted for the MDFC cards as land sources, as well as the fetches...led to adding basics in a way I wouldn't have ever paid attention to otherwise. Thanks for your efforts, always appreciate your content!
I just realised today that drafting OTJ is basically like drafting any other sets set booster instead of draft boosters. Like I get they are play boosters but the balance isn't what its supposed to be.
Remember! These boosters AREN'T draft boosters but modified set boosters. They keep telling us that when they try to justify the price point. So we're basically stuck drafting with a product not primarily made for that purpose.
@@dittmar104 That's fair, I never actually paid attention to the other two kinds of packs released at that time, focusing only on draft boosters, since they assured us those would stay the same and weren't going away
@@danielcornwall1585 They really should have just cut set boosters for draft boosters. It makes sense to have the high roller packs and the functional packs instead of the high roller packs and mid roller mildly functional packs.
Just curious why you never even considered playing 3 colors? Your deck today was probably much better than it performed, but it seems like it could have been even better if you were thinking you could go red/white/green right from the start instead of saying you probably wouldn't splash this or that.
I think the more aggressive the deck, the less the deck wants to splash. And since the deck I was heading down drafting early on seemed a bit more aggressive (and since RW usually is aggressive), it’s a deck I usually don’t like splashing as much in.
With double Ertha Jo was High Noon ever considered? I know I've been guilty of thinking of Ertha Jo as a "mercenaries matter" card but there are a handful of other activated abilities that make her do some extra work. Sterling Keykeeper can tap two and Deadeye Duelist pings for two.
I honestly hadn’t ever considered the High Noon interaction (and also really only thought of Ertha as a mercenaries card as well). I’ve never played Red White this format and seen those interactions, from my opponent either, so if I did it again, I’d probably consider it.
I’ve tried a few underrated guilds in OTJ and my god do I not like them. RU is my least favourite. RW completely dependent on what bonus sheet cards you pull, like outlaws merriment. Blue black very much doesn’t want to exist you can do cool stuff if you pull the outlaw copy enchantment but I’m not that into it. I think black white has its value and would be up there if green wasn’t over drafted. Green wants these two far more than they want each other. It also feels pretty unfocused, it kinda wants to be tempo but only because it’s a bad midrange deck and a bad control deck. If there was any form of reliable sacrifice payoff to drive the engine it that would help.
Vault Buster....My beloved..... Also in game 1 you could have held onto the crimeland to commit crimes, since you had plenty of lands in hand and that was the explicit reason for putting that thing in your deck.
Nice trophy! Deck was fantastic even without the best cards for the archetype. Probably 7-0 if you had the steed and a couple of the signpost fliers and maybe a throw from the saddle.
Kinda surprised at how hard and fast you lock into a colour. The nature of this format may behoove keeping options open to see how much power you can stuff in there.
Hey man, love the daily draft content! Just subscribed! I finally got the courage to hit record on my new channel for draft and am chasing mythic. Hope you can swing by and catch some games over here in the future. Keep up the good work!
nice video, ive been just pikcing GWB and making the best deck at the end. Avoiding Red/blue. The GW flying mount uncommon has been a house! And any green rares are amazing. Bristly bill is a bomb probably worth P1P1 in retrospect.
Many times I saw you cling to Archive Trap when in dire straits, throwing away cards which could actually do something to the board. I'm not saying it woulda made the difference, but you need to give up on the combo when push comes to shove
The plot cards do help with the Wrangler in that you can plot and that doesn't count as having cast a spell that turn, so still triggers it. I don't think they were as antithetical as you thought.
This format is the worst. Yesterday in my traditional draft I played 3 decks in a row that had Bonny Pall and they all wrecked me. The second deck actually had two of them. Five traditional drafts and I have four 1-2 and an 0-3. My best luck has been sealed where I had a 7-2 and a 6-3 but I had insane card pools. One deck played 7 rares/mythics and all were very good. Premier I’m averaging about a 3-3 record. Well below where I normally sit other than sealed. Would you consider a sealed or traditional draft just for a change for a game or two?
Definitely not sealed (I despise sealed with the new play boosters). And BO3 on Arena is so hit or miss. Because it’s not ranked, there’s usually one or two matches per BO3 draft where the opponent doesn’t really know what they’re doing at all and doesn’t make for a fun matchup.
Usually that’s the case with bo3 but that has not been my experience at all this format, yet anyway. I understand your take on sealed and I agree with you. Also I’m wondering how 75% of the decks I play are op green decks. In my experience it’s hard to even splash green it’s so overly drafted. How are people making these ridiculous green decks?
