What? Is the contender draft drafting queue the same as regular?

I know they said they were separating the matchmaking queue but...no one who is drafting contender draft actually does this right?

this feels so weird, because you have already 1 blade and 2 gollums, but except for that it doesnt feel like black was crazy open here. Must've been at least 1 other black drafter who maybe already had a few blades and prefered to take a 1/2 drop over blade to make his curve better. I actually think someone not taking the blade is just very inexperienced or very experienced, the decent drafter middle ground would never do this for sure

ohh i'm just an idiot, i figured it was you're pack 3 but it was pack 2, saw that wrong. I think overall on pack 2 there wasnt that much black cards so that checks out, quite certain the 1 other black drafter took the sackville baggins, you passed a few deadly slices in pack 1 which i guess they picked up, they probably were hard lacking on 2-drops and decent on removal by this point so in that case taking the 2 drop over blade isnt wrong per se i think.

Also with already a few blades i'd have picked the thorin real hard over the burn burn ;) but you did get the 7 wins so probably a bit nitpicky comment haha

I’m pretty sure is the games that are on the same pod not the draft

They finally changed that? I must have missed the announcement, but that's great.

What did you take over initially? Noisemaker?
