Streets of New Capenna Draft Guide

In card games, drafting refers to the selection of cards from a limited pool, usually from the top of the deck, to gain a temporary advantage or assemble a hand of cards to meet game objectives. So here are some points that will help you in drafting. 

Mana fixing

If you find the correct lane to be in in the draft, both cards, and the fixing will end up in your hand. Fixing is abundant, so if you find the correct color lane to be in, you’ll be able to get both cards and the fixing. It’s pack three and you have no fixing lands, so get your first one before anything else. Most decks have two colors and a third color splash for power cards. Make sure that the cards in your deck have a purpose before playing the third color.

Signaling

When it comes to the draft, signaling is very important. Don’t diamond hand your early picks until you see a stronger signal later in the pack. In a world where Brokers are widely acknowledged as one of the best colors to be in, it’s important to find out where you can still gain advantages.

Draft a deck to destroy the top deck

It is also important to draft a deck that destroys the best deck out there. Grixis control is a strong counter to all of the Bant decks, and two of the colors won’t pose too much of a problem. In order to get the most out of your deck, you should build a blue-black control deck splashed with red rather than a Rakdos sacrifice deck splashed with blue.

Win the tempo game

As of now, winning the tempo game seems like the best option. It is important to remember that both aggressive and control decks can suffer hard punishment if they stumble early. This creates an interesting tension between the number of fixing lands you can run. Without enough fixing, you will never be able to cast your spells. Having too many fixing will put you behind because everything comes into play tapped.

Do NOT Draft these cards

The following cards are not recommended for drafting:

  • Bootleggers’ Stash
  • Cemetery Tampering
  • Cut Your Losses
  • Errant, Street Artist
  • Luxior, Giada’s Gift
  • Meeting of the Five
  • Widespread Thieving

So this is everything you need to know from our Streets of New Capenna Draft guide. Follow the guide carefully and you will definitely become the best among others.
