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.

Drafting is widely considered the ultimate test of a player's game knowledge, adaptability, and understanding of core synergies.

The Golden Rules of Picking

The draft phase usually presents you with four choices; you pick one card for yourself, and give the other card to your opponent.

If you give your opponent the heavy spell and keep a useless support unit, they will easily dismantle your defenses from afar.

• Deny them synergy.
• Don't draft too heavy.
• Clog their hand with heavy, useless units.

Sabotaging the Opponent

The cards you do not pick are sent directly to their hand, giving you incredible control over their strategy.

Their average elixir cost will skyrocket, their hand will be completely clogged, and they will be unable to defend your cheap, fast attacks.

Adaptability in the Arena

Even if you draft perfectly, you will sometimes end up with an incredibly weird, clunky deck due to bad RNG.

Choose wisely, and outsmart them before the match even begins.
