No, you didn’t read that episode title wrong. This week we did our first ever “draft” of the best cards, our favorite cards, or cards we just straight up “vibe” with in the Pioneer format. But it’s not a draft in the essence of how people in Magic the Gathering usually draft. This episode is probably more closely related to a sports draft where we can pick any card we want from a card type as long as nobody else has already chosen it. We’re also not drafting these to play them together in a deck, but rather just to have the “rights” to them such as sports franchises do when they draft a player for their team.
As you listen through our choices for each card type, make a list of your own top 3 choices for each (minus Battles we decided), and then see how they match up with ours. We’d also love to hear who you think drafted the best cards for each type of card afterwards, so be sure to let us know in either our Discord, or on Twitter!
