Art of Draft 13: How to Khans Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

Arena Open is just around the corner and Khans of Tarkir are on a completely different power level than any set in the recent years. Hear our thoughts on how to adjust to the blast from the past! Picking lands highly, having two or less 2drop creatures is something that would lead to VERY bad results in the newer sets. But not this one.

Art of draft 9: I wanna splash! Should I? Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Everything you pick in draft works towards making the best possible deck. But splashing a 3rd or 4th color always comes with a question mark.

We get into when it's a good idea to splash and when it isn't!
