#93 - Navigating WOE drafts
from Magic Numbers · host Sierkovitz
Players focus a lot on how to build a deck, but i think most improvement in win rate for starter/intermediate players that is easy to achieve comes through good draft navigation. This week I give some (hopefully) useful tips on how picks differ depending on the pack number, which picks will make your deck more frequently. I also talk about learning how to wheel specific cards - how to select the card as your pick 1 in such a way, that you give yourself a good chance of getting another decent card as your pick 9 from the same pack. We also answer some Patron questions! Patreon: https://patreon.com/sierkovitz to get extra access, perks and the good feeling of supporting my work.
