@@NicolaiBolas I'm relatively new to MTG and even though I was introduced to commander. I have really enjoyed playing limited and your channel was really helpful when i first started getting into it earlier this year!
I kind of think that create gremlins spell is meant to be something of an alternative Boros signpost (and an actual anthem effect) in a Modern gremlins tribal, possibly an alt Boros Energy. #DuskDisciple
Just played my first duskmourn draft last weekend and the tokens I got from gremlin tamer and glimmerlight wound up being immensely valuable. #duskdisciple
It’s playable in a pinch, but usually best avoided. I’ve certainly used it myself, but for the sake of the example it was a good fit since it’s often not ideal.
My level-up for this set was learning to speculate on signpost uncommons early in the pack. In the pre play booster era, I think it was typically correct to take the slightly less powerful mono colored card early in the pack to stay flexible. In the play booster era, a density of premium uncommons and rares is almost a necessity for a strong deck, with few exceptions. Commons matter much less than they did in the "before times". Only the most premium commons truly "matter" now. I'm not convinced this approach is better for high-level pod drafts. When everyone at the table is using proper pick orders, it still may be better to stay more flexible/open. Obviously, you need to be prepared to draft less desirable archetypes at a tough table as well. On Arena and in Draft Leagues, I think you should "shoot for the moon" as much as possible. For me personally, I lean too much into trying to draft the solid/scrappy 2-1 deck. Breaking this habit by adjusting my draft strategy will be my #1 focus for Foundations.
Making more speculative picks is something I’ve experimented with for sure. It’s a fine balance because you need to know what’s worth speculating on and that is so dependent on the situation. Good observation though!
