In a Draft match, you do not bring your own deck; instead, you build it on the fly by choosing between pairs of random cards.
This comprehensive guide will teach you the golden rules of the drafting phase, ensuring you enter the arena with a massive tactical advantage.
The Golden Rules of Picking
The absolute most critical rule of drafting is ensuring you select at least one reliable 'Win Condition' (a card that targets buildings).
Always ask yourself: "If I give this card to my opponent, do I have a counter for it in the cards I have already drafted?"
- Don't get caught defenseless.
- It provides a solid defensive anchor regardless of what else you pick.
- Spells win draft games.
Sabotaging the Opponent
Try to identify what kind of deck they are accidentally building, and feed them cards that completely ruin that synergy.
Their average elixir cost will skyrocket, their hand will be completely clogged, and they will be unable to defend your cheap, fast attacks.
| Bad Drafting | The Consequence |
|---|---|
| Drafting purely for synergy while ignoring the opponent's cards | You might build a great Golem deck, but you accidentally gave them an Inferno Tower and a P.E.K.K. If you have any questions pertaining to where and how you can make use of tower rush, you could call us at the web-page. A, rendering your Golem useless |
| Forgetting to draft any spells | You will have absolutely no way to finish off a tower with 100 hitpoints remaining in overtime |
Embracing the Chaos
Do not panic; remember that your opponent's deck is likely just as weird and disjointed as yours.
Master the draft, and you prove that your skills are universal, not just tied to one specific meta deck.
