Sephara obviously good, but I'm pretty sure I'd take risen reef over it.
And I might take Chandra's Outrage over both of them, and maybe Audacious Thief too.

Red/Blue decks have done the best for me, followed by Black/Blue, Black/Green, and then Red/Green and Blue/Green are about tied.

Generally avoid white in 2020 limited.

I think I'd take cloudkin seer over it.
Cloudkin is okay to fill out a deck but good players are running Heart-Piercer Bows most of the time so it's not as great as it could be in other sets.

hot and cold for sure. my recent streak is: 7-2, 7-2, 7-2, 5-3, 6-3, 0-3

maybe more hot than cold... a mere 4-3 for my next draft after that, got Sorin pack 1 pick 1 and tried to draft vampires. next draft i got a Temple of Malady P1P1 then a Creeping Trailblazer pack 2, ended up kind of forcing Jund (bots weren't super helpful) but it ended up working, went 7-1

i had such a cold streak with draft before Core 2020 came out, feels real good to be doing this well.

then 0-3 with an Azorius deck lol. pack 1 pick 1 was Bishop of Wings, tried to build an angels flyer deck but ended up spreading myself too thin drafting against the bots.

edit -- aaaaaand super unlucky 0-3 with a stacked Temur elementals deck. bah.

hope you guys don't mind my random gibberings while i do these drafts

just had a pretty fun Limited combo going -- Risen Reef + Healer of the Glade + Portal of Sanctuary. every turn i get 3 life and either a card in hand or an extra land on the board for just 2 mana?

and when my opponent finally got some removal, they used it on my Creeping Trailblazer instead of my Risen Reef lol.

one of those games that you wish you could just call "checkmate in 5 turns" or some shit haha. dropping 1 or more elementals for Risen Reef each turn ended up leaving me with about 5 cards in my deck at the end of the game, after maybe 10 turns total lol.

Also, I'm fairly sure that Risen Reef is just the best non rare in the set for limited. Card is obviously pushed for constructed, it's just real dumb that it's not a rare.

I agree: as an uncommon, it's stupidly broken.

Yeah, that draft started with Risen Reed pack 1 pick 1. I'm pretty much a max level beaver merchant when it comes to how often I'll rare snipe for constructed shit when drafting, but even so after seeing both Leyline of Sanctity and Risen Reef in that first pack it was an easy decision to grab the Risen Reef.

Mulligans are very effective in the current state of the game.

You should learn to use them.

You're annoyingly smug. Stop assuming shit without asking a question.

I mulligan'd my original hand (of 1 white mana) down to 6 cards with 2 white mana and discarded a Dreadhorde Arcanist.

The next card I pulled after this screenshot was another Tenth District Legionnaire and I lost.
