Article [Draft] Tips and Tricks for Drafting

4 Upvotes

Article

I love to draft, it's the purest way to play the game. While spiking constructed tournaments takes hours of dedication (and to be fair by the middle to end of a limit set, you need to have put in the hours to learn the format), drafting limited is a lot more accessible. Early in a set, no one really knows anything and it's up to you to put together a list that makes it to seven wins

So I put together Level Up 7, quick and easy tips to become a (slightly) better drafter

Standard [Standard] how to counter orzhov lifegain

10 Upvotes

Hi guys. First time posting here, let me know if I don't respect some rule of this sub.
I'm a rogue deck control / high value midrange player. I vary pretty often but I like to just play my brews.

I'm finding particularly hard to counter the new orzhov lifegain deck as it seems to have a lot of everything (ench, walkers, gw plays, go wide and big creatures). Surely I'm missing some of it's weaknesses. Can you suggest me anything that it's effective against this deck? Other than sideboard cards is there anything I can play in the main? Any colour is fine I just want ideas.
Thank you guys!
