To inject variety and test pure fundamental skill, developers frequently feature 'Draft' modes in special events and tournaments.

You cannot rely on overleveled cards or muscle memory from playing the same deck for two years.

Drafting Priorities

If you reach the end of the draft and your deck has no reliable way to damage the enemy tower, you have already lost the match.

Secondly, you must prioritize heavy removal spells like Poison, Fireball, or Lightning.

• Never give your opponent a Golem if you haven't drafted a tank killer.
• Don't draft too heavy.
• Clog their hand with heavy, useless units.

The Art of the Bad Gift

Try to identify what kind of deck they are accidentally building, and feed them cards that completely ruin that synergy.

If you realize they have drafted three heavy, expensive ground tanks, give them a fourth expensive ground unit.

Playing the Hand You're Dealt

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.
