Hi, i'm Beusapu and i'm gonna talk
you about drafting the best color ever: RED.
Actually, i don't think it is the best color for Theros
draft, which is tied between blue and green, but it has the bees removal and
some good creatures.
The red emissary is a very good card. As a creature, he's a
great target for auras.
As a bestow, he'll make one of the biggest threats in the
table, and it requires too blockers every turn, which is a very high cost if
the opponent doesn't want to take a bunch of damage.
The cost is a bit high (7 mana), but we're being able to
give evasion to an already big creature (and with all the monstrosities, we
should have some).
The ordeal is also very good. While we don't have a lot of
heroic creatures, but this card offers a Lightnig Bolt stapled to a Giant
Growth. It also works well with monstrosity.
But what makes red a really good choice is the removal. This
set doesn't have a lot of removal, and most of it is slow and expensive. We
have Lightning Strike and Magma Jet, two cheap and effective options. And we
also have Rage of Purphoros, to deal with bigger creatures.
We also have really good commons. Ill-Tempered Cyclops has solid
stats on its own (a 3/3 trampler for 4), but the monstrosity gives it the
possibility to impact the board at any time of the game.
Portent of Betrayal is also a good common. This format is
full of huge creatures such as monstrosities, and being able to steal them is
much better than usual.
One of the things i like from red in this format is that red
is a very splashable color. It works really well paired with blue or green, as
it gives you something those colors lack: good removal.
And finally, for those who want to go to the prerelease, our
promo:
