We have a Very Special Guest today on Benalish Dad, the indefatiguable Kyle joined us to walk me through the state of drafting on Magic Arena! I won’t lie, it’s pretty sweet to be able to pause mid-draft and tend to needy children (this came up more than once as you shall see)

(I apologize for the poor sound balancing, I didn’t realize Kyle was coming in at what is normally reserved for Jed-decibels)

So, clearly very fun! But since you’re drafting against bots, the AI is pretty clearly exploitable. A pick 12 Cloudreader Sphinx is not a thing that should ever happen. but the good news is that I think it’s a great way to get people to ease into drafting, since the signals are more clear and more forgiving. Spoiler: Kyle ended up doing “alright” with this deck, with his final loss coming due to his “daughter” demanding to be “fed” or some other such nonsense.
