OKAY. For you draft is luck, for skilled draftplayer it is not.Männele wrote:I don't argue in favor of unfocused decks, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying, that being a lucky ass doubles in recursion drafts. You have to build focused decks in draft, that's for sure. And you are perfectly able to do that with 9 boosters (which are around 81 library cards, which you cut down to about 40-45). If you are lucky enough to draft 2-4 bounce or bleed-reducing cards (or what is your favored card) you have a strong advantage if you get it once again compared to the chap, who missed those cards.alf wrote:OTOH: Unfocused draft decks often lead to sub-par games which tend to time out.

Recursion allows to focus your deck and actually have a strategy.
Even when you don't initially draw the über-boosters.
Some may argue it's people's own fault if they missed them. But often enough it's a matter of luck if you have such cards in your initial booster or not. Luck is already a strong enough factor for draft (compared to constructed games). We don't have to maximize it even more.
(OTOH I have been always lucky in drafts so far. So let's do the recursion thing.)
But this dicussion is boring me.
I prever recursion, but in the end it is not my decision.
? I hope we meet at the table that I can show you how skilled YOU are
