IMO drafts are by far one of the hardest formats, especially when it’s standard draft. Not only do you need to have a good understanding of deck building (let’s face it most players really don’t) but you also need to understand the set you’re about to play (or you won’t know what to pick or what archetypes there are). And that’s not even talking about actual drafting experience, because that also requires skill.
I’ve played for years and I never got into draft because of those reasons. It was just too different to rest of MTG.
That’s fair. I find drafting difficult too and only win a game here or there if I play someone inexperienced or I get an incredibly lucky pull. But I feel like I learn quite a bit by drafting, even if I don’t know the set.
Maybe a better way to learn deck building is to check out the meta game and figure out how each deck works based on its contents? Though that only takes you so far, you do have to play the deck and interact with others to really learn it.
