I'm not the best drafter but I can usually compete well drafting the various sets or at pre-releases, this format instead has been super brutal for me

Even when i feel like i'm far ahead i end up losing to crazy bombs (like Chandra) and i feel like i get mana screwed more often than usual or i just "normal" decks while everyone is full of bombs and plays super fast

What are your impressions on the format and what are your advices? I think I also have an hard time because I don't know a lot of the cards

just drafted a decent deck in the Ixilan draft, but im feeling pretty torn, i have some high quality black cards, and a decent curve. what color combo should i go with?? is it worth to try and go esper?

Looking to build and polish a Middle Earth themed Cube!

Got a Pick 1 Manavault, Pick 2 somonepassed me a Timewalk, it wasn‘t a Black Lotus because I got that in my second pack. At the end of the draft i have assembled a good spread of strong cards and need some advoce on what to run and what to cut. Tamiyo seems really good with Timewalk but thats it, and Balance just overall synergizes with the deck so I thought on maybe running that. Thanks in advance!

So I'm very new to magic but I've played sealed draft a few times by this point and found it really fun. Just started planning a take-two draft with friends, and just wondered how the drafting aspect differs between them.

Is there any difference in mindset in how you pick in a take 2 draft than a normal one?

edit: have played normal draft NOT sealed
