Finding the right strategy for a color pair is a key element to winning more. Many drafts were lost when a player tried to play controlling game in a color combination that doesn't support it well, or trying to be aggressive using cards that are just not good in doing that. This week I look at the game duration data in LCI to try and figure out what should you be focusing on when drafting your decks.
Why Azorius is not particularly good in being aggressive? Why RG Dino decks are more aggro than you might think? And why control decks struggle and how can future design address that problem.
Plus I look at key cards for selected archetypes and try to find out what it means for your future drafts.
If you are interested in getting to know me better - I have a discord now. Join to chat about data, limited and see my futile attempts to make food that looks as good as it tasted. Also - cat and dog pictures.
