The card beloved by many is not delivering in HBG in general and with 50.1% win rate in Dimir it definitely disappoints. The biggest trap in UB is Prophetic Prism. The giant, Young Blue Dragon and Juvenile Mist Dragon all costing 5 mana makes the pseudo-mana dork, Clever Conjurer an interesting inclusion in the decks letting you cast those cards on turn 4. Picked late in drafts it still has a respectable 55.3% win rate and will help you survive till late game. The hidden gem is Rimeshield Frost Giant. The archetype star is Sewer Plague at solid 59% GiH WR, with multiple removal spells close behind.

Dimir wants to survive the early onslaught and play a longer game based on attrition. Successful Dimir decks seem to lean heavily on black cards, using blue as a support color or source of bombs like Tasha, Unholy Archmage or Snowborn Simulacra. The win rate markedly improved in week two. But not all is doom and gloom for Dimir decks. Mind – this is across all archetypes as UR sample size is just too small.īuy from Card Kingdom $0.25 view card details Disappointing Dimirĥ3.5% color pair win rate is much better than Izzet was, but still far from impressive. If you play Sealed, of course you will need to have some great high rarity cards to get tempted into UR, but on common level Air-Cult Elemental delivers some solid numbers with 55% GiH WR. The biggest trap is playing the archetype itself, but individually Charmed Sleep is a card picked relatively highly by Arena users that has a 45% GiH WR making it a waste of a high pick in most cases. GiH WR of 51.9% is not impressive but it is above average for Izzet and the card routinely wheels. But that points to Izzet as wanting to be aggressive even if blue doesn’t deliver the tools to be so.įor the hidden “gem” I picked Lizardfolk Librarians. Best common in the pair, Valor Singer has a Game in Hand win rate (GiH WR) of 54.3%. UR is doing very poorly.Ĥ9.2% win rate for the color pair is way below the average 17Lands user win rate of 56.5%. No clear plan, poor blue commons that don’t interplay well with the red ones, this all spelled disaster from day one and there is no happy ending this time. And Izzet has the arguable pleasure to be first here. I will start with the ascending win rate order for the color pairs. I will focus on the commons, as they are the bread and butter of each format and you will see them more frequently.

That is why I will try to put my four selected cards in the context of the color pair and use them to showcase the plans you want to consider while playing. To draft successfully you need to understand the power, or lack thereof, of individual cards but also have a good understanding of the overarching plan each deck wants to have. For each of them I will give you an archetype star (card with the highest win rate), hidden gem (a card that is still relatively underdrafted, but has a relatively high win rate), a trap (card picked highly that doesn’t win a lot) and a sealed hero (card doing better in sealed format than draft). Today I will look at each of the 10 color pairs. First Look at Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate Draft Data: The Big Picture
