LF: M11 Drafting Tips
General forum
Posted on Aug. 3, 2010, 9:53 p.m. by Adron
So, we've had at least two weeks of M11 Drafting out there, anyone have any tips or thoughts on the subject yet? I've bonked both drafts, and I thought my last one was a sure win with Red/White which people don't seem to draft much of (black and green seem to be favorites where I go)
What are your tips, ideas, and successes?

A forum thread from a little while back that talked about M11 drafting. Led to disagreements but thats a good thing, it shows more perspectives.
Prom my personal experience, B/U/W are very strong colors. Combinations of those are pretty good and they have served me well in all the limited M11 events I have been to.

This is an article about the Archetypes you can draft. It's quite interesting and gives a generall overview about M11

Leyline of Anticipation is a VERY effective card, don't underestimate it. I've been passed it twice after round 3 or 4, and I was shocked. It's just a filthy card; lets you two-for-one with your creatures, lets you cast nasty sorceries at instant speed, etc.

there is something to be said for drafting off colors though. Since red is weak to splash in M11, most people don't draft it. I played against a mean mono-red that I almost beat but he still took the win

I am in need of 4x Mox Opal , 4x Arcbound Ravager , those are my priorities although I need to acquire the entire deck.
If I can't acquire any of those main pieces I will aim for anything with Pod mainly 3x Noble Hierarch and 4x Birthing Pod and then go from there
Reason being to acquire either of these decks is because I have a few other modern decks I have stashed and I am slowly building most of what I can. So far I have built U/R Splinter Twin, Soul Sisters, U/R Delver, Blue Moon, Death and Taxes, Red Deck Wins, and Mono U Blue Tron. I like to collect decks so I have variety to play competitively and casually with friends.
Notable haves: Liliana of the Veil , Cryptic Command Foil, Batterskull Promo, Life from the Loam Foil, Living End , Remand , Stifle , Vesuva , Shocklands etc...
Hit me up if we can work something out.

any interest in my 2x mox opal, 1x birthing pod, aven mindcensor + $5-6 in C/UC for affinity ~140
your foil cryptic, gitaxian probe and Liliana of the veil ~140
also have some other affinity pieces if we want to add those over pod/mindcensor. (no ravagers though)

I did best with U/W so far. I only drafted twice though. tons of flyers and removal.
