Iconic draft this weekend
« on: November 16, 2017, 01:28:51 pm »
Hello, I started playing magic with my first deck being the Ezuri commander deck, I then began playing standard with AMK so I don't have a lot of knowledge about older cards and how they play.
I am going to play in a draft this weekend with the Iconic Masters and wanted some advice on what to be looking for and if there would be a certain strategy different from what I play with standard drafts. Thank you!

I would look up which are the expensive cards in the set. I know Elesh Norn and Mishra's Bauble, but other than that I'm not sure

Each two-color pair has it's own strategy built into the set. Some combinations are better than others. As far as I can tell, these are the pairs for Iconic Masters.

Azorius: Non-creature spells
Boros: Attacking... That's it.
Dimir: Discard, mill
Golgari: +1/+1 counters
Gruul: "X" Mana cost
Izzet: Spellslinger
Orzhov: Lifegain
Rakdos: Dragons
Selesnya: +1/+1 counters
Simic: Defender

Instead of hoping to win a bunch of packs especially ur first draft, in a set like this I would just grab the money cards
