Rate Creatures Higher in M10 Draft
September 3, 2009 | Posted by Dee
Magic The Gathering pro and Grand Prix Barcelona winner, Joel Calafell, talks M10 draft strategy:
…the only advice I can really give you, is to rate creatures higher. I mean, most of the time, whoever has the best creatures wins. So it doesn’t make sense to pick random effects over them. Sometimes I see people ending up too short on creatures just because they picked too many Giant Growths, or too many Divinations, Essence Scatter, etc. So don’t think a creature is always worse than a trick, because in this format it’s not really like that. Pick them! You won’t regret it. That way you might end up with a deck that doesn’t have to play cards like Silvercoat Lion or Runeclaw Bear, or even worse: Goblin Piker or Coral Merfolk as fillers. Maybe it’s just me, but those creatures seem so bad to me that when I see one on my opponent’s side of the table, I’m always happy. I guess that’s why I see cards like Bog Wraith, Howling Banshee, Stone Giant or even Dread Warlock getting passed later than I would ever expect. I wish I could always have those!
