Limited is a hard format. It is not easy to start winning reliably. Today I look at several ways to quickly improve your Limited draft and deck building skills using the 17Lands.com data.

I analyse why beginners can have problems with winning reliably, but most importantly, I try to give actionable advice on how to solve the problems I identify.

This video is primarily aimed at beginner to intermediate players, at least I tried to make it so. After watching it, you should be able to:

- identify bad cards in the format
- identify good cards in the format
- know how to check for good and bad cards specific for a given color pair
- know how to recognise a plan of a deck and how to draft in a way that enhances that plan rather than undermining it
- learn the importance of using community support as a learning tool
