Looks like the new GRN draft bots are underdrafting Boros. Just went 7-1 with a 15 land Boros deck with a very low curve and I think only two of my opponents weren't playing Boros.

WoTC has no idea what they're doing with these bots

btw for new players, you should work towards crafting either mono-blue or mono-red, both are pretty cheap (especially blue) and most important fast t1/t2 decks that will let you grind out f2p rewards.

Here's a good guide for turning some of the NPE/pre-constructed decks and cards you get early on for free into a budget mono blue:

did my first comp event instead of just random ladder. easy 5-0, three games against mono blue, one deck that looked pre-con, and a good blue black mirror. guess this is better for gold. the client has worked pretty much flawlessly for me, my only nit-picky complaint is that moving cards in and out of the sideboard during deck construction is pretty awkward.

its a shame that acquiring cards is so terrible. 95% of your "rewards" are unplayable and the vault has got to be a joke

I had one wierd bug with the client. I could not target player with a spell it kept glitching to the middle of board.

I could only target a minion which was annoying since I had leathel. ended up not nattering as game was already won.

anyone else had this issue?

are you sure the player didnt have hexproof? it can be a forgotten effect, seen several people freak out on stream/youtube before realizing

Actually I caught a savj stream and same thing happened to him also. Maybe a bug in the software.

I've had a few weird bugs too. I think once I was totally unable to choose mulligan or keep and eventually I timed out and lost. Was a casual queue so no worries.

I'd probably take the deadly visit in that one, but I am not an expert draftsman.

On MTGO I'd take visit, but on Arena I'd take current. Boros is just too easy to force on Arena and I think it's by far the best, especially in the no sideboard drafts.

I have not had too much success with Boros, BUT Im insanely biased, I think Boros is very boring, also I may value some Boros cards too high/low aka Im doing it wrong.

Also part of it is the player skill level on MTGA is not too high, so I prefer access to more instants than Boros usually has.

I'm half certain I saw SOMEWHERE on the internet that MTGA would get 8 man draft like MTGO at some point.

Anyone know when this some point is?

On MTGA it's the instants in boros that have actually been so effective for me due to the lower skill level. I feel like I play with sure strike face up and still get routine 2-1's. People love to make unnecessary blocks on arena.

MTGA tutorial should be enough to learn the basics, right?

yeah I think its good enough to get you started. I actually went thru it since I didnt realize you could unlock all the starter cards even if you skipped it
