How Do You Draft It?
Didn’t I say in the introduction that I’ve never been a fan of aggressive tempo decks? Why would you look to me for how to draft one?

Well, I’m going to take a shot at it anyways!

First of all take heed of everything written so far. Review the section on controlling tempo and apply it. Before you draft a card figure out where it fits into your deck. Is it a threat or an answer? Is it aggressive or defensive? Is it a relevant threat or a potential one? Make sure your mana curve is well rounded with an emphasis on an aggressive and relevant lower end. Try and include evasion and at least one finisher but never more than two or three of each. Heck, if there’s nothing helpful in the pack, counterdraft the cards that worry you the most such as Hondens or River Kajins. Just because you’re playing black is not a good reason to draft a 6cc Kami of Lunacy that’s just going to sit in your sideboard – you want your opponents playing those kinds of spells.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned so far is color selection. If you’re planning on being aggressive, Black and Red are the first two colors you should look at. While all the colors have their aggressive options, they are much wider in Black and Red, which specializes in cheap creatures with high power and low toughness as well as point kill, finishers and aggressive mechanics. White is the next best option with efficient creatures, occasional kill and evasion and lots of tricks. Green seems like it should be aggressive with lots of tricks but it tends to specialize in larger and slower creatures and lack any sort of removal or finisher since Overrun. Blue is the least aggressive of the colors as it specializes in defensive creatures and the more expensive fliers so it’s best as a secondary color. But this isn’t definitive – blue fliers can be very aggressive if tempo can be controlled on the ground and black/red decks can use early kill as control until they can bring their late game spells online. Your primary color will likely be black or red but even green/white can throw together some aggression once in a while.

昨日の記事の続きです。

これまでの内容を踏まえて、ピックの方針について解説されています。カードが攻撃的か防御的かを意識すること、マナカーブが整っているか、回避能力やエンドカードを1枚だけ入れること、デッキに入らないカードをピックするぐらいならカットする、などです。

色に関して言えば、攻撃的な面が強いのは赤黒の2つです。軽量クリーチャー、単体除去、エンドカード、攻撃的なメカニズムなどが揃っています。その次が白、緑と続いて、もっとも防御的なのが青ということになります。
