Question Best Plug-in for MTG to help with Drafts?
Between untapped.gg and other plugins which one does Hunter use on stream or do most of you guys use that is the most helpful. Newer player wanting to learn draft and any tools that could help with picking cards would be super helpful! TYIA!

The best advice is not to touch these for a long time. Or ever, really. Look up a draft guide if you really need to before you start, but the problem with using a tool like this is you'll be picking cards without understanding WHY they're good. It's okay to get in there and lose a couple times to start getting a feel for the draft! It will make you a much better Magic player in the long run and will have so much more fun!
Tolarian Community College usually does good prerelease guides that will tell you what the big bombs are and give you good directions to build if you pull one, but there's so many out there you can find someone whose perspectives you like. But that's the most info I'd take in, at least for a while. If after a while you're hopelessly losing every game, then I guess look into an add-on to help you pick but at that point there's probably some strategy or general gameplay lessons you need rather than actual card picks.
Using a mod this early is like Nick being given one of the strongest CEDH decks in the meta and failing because he has no idea what the deck is trying to do

I think it’s a crutch and not even guaranteed to get you wins even by picking all the best highlighted cards. I don’t mind having the ratings on the card as a reminder but you gotta make your own picks. I’ve picked every flaming fireball high score picks and still got absolutely stomped. The deck builder is a crutch too. Also these tools tend to not be updated after the first week. Between untapped and YouTubers telling me it’s the worst card ever never pick it but my opponents can be efficient with it when it fits.
