Small clarification to the video. In the class slots it will always be a split of 2/2/2/1 between the four classes cards. This should make it easy to always understand what classes have been drafted early as you try and read signals!

[@jacobbriggs3822]

Fantastic video!! There could be so much more limited content than there is rn, so I’m glad to see one of my favorite channels continue to make draft content :)

[@ArsenalPass]

Wow, thanks! We're happy to make it especially for such a deep format!

[@dusfim3140]

Hall yeah can't wait for Katsus video

[@thebellowingbrute6956]

Very well done video. Super informative and I’m glad I checked it out. Keep up the good work guys 🤘🏽

[@fowlersrs]

Great video. With this draft just around the corner with farewell wtr this is invaluable.

[@APmerch]

Big help! Great video.

[@cdaanmadetcg]

great tip!! the one time i draft i got a majestic cranial crush on the 3rd or 4th pass, so no one in my group was playing guardians. However i feel katsu and dorinthea are the best heros to play draft , just way too versatile

[@777CrimsonChaos]

I’m still pretty new to the game and never drafted it before. I got invited to the Rathe event, and this has been very helpful to get myself prepared for it!

[@ArsenalPass]

Glad to hear - hope you enjoy drafting some Welcome to Rathe!

[@OmniPoke]

Perfect timing and great insight!

[@ArsenalPass]

It's a pleasure to make and we're glad to help!

[@notoriouslycody]

Definitely excited about these drafts!

[@ArsenalPass]

Let's GOOOOOO!

[@manwithbrisk3418]

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@ArsenalPass]

Glad it helped! Good luck!!

[@fleshandbloodbrothers]

Great info here! I cannot wait for my local Farewell events. I favor Rhinar and will pivot to Dori based on signals. But of course I will stay open and take powerful red generics whenever I can early.

[@ArsenalPass]

Dori is often made or broken by the Refraction Bolters - good luck!

[@Tronjheimr]

Yeah, great video. Totally need help with WTR draft.

[@ArsenalPass]

Limited content is a pleasure to make - glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tronjheimr]

​@@ArsenalPass I'm relatively new to TCG in general. During Draft, I'm assuming we'll get to keep the cards we've chosen at the end of the event. Is it considered a Taboo if we've decided to draft the high value cards without much consideration of building strong deck and winning the games itself?

[@ArsenalPass]

@@Tronjheimr you should be keeping what you draft in these events unless the stores advertise it as a "rare redraft" where you redraft the rarer cards in order of standings. If it's a causal event like these mostly should be, then draft what you like! Take the rares if you like or draft to win!

[@Tronjheimr]

@@ArsenalPass Thanks man!

[@jorgeyarza6057]

Great content!

Last-Minute Prep For The Two WTR Drafts I Have Lined Up For The Weekend:)

[@Jordan-eb5wu]

Which tier in the Patreon do I need to subscribe to have access to the pick guide?

[@niklasace]

Following

[@ArsenalPass]

It's available to all tiers and is up now.

[@ocename]

TOA LIMITED thoughts post briar nerf? I personally want to revisit that format.

[@ArsenalPass]

Initial read is that there will be more impact to sealed play than draft - but only gameplay can really paint the picture!

[@Chris3015]

@4:35 I think I never saw 4/1/1/1 class cards in a pack. It was always 2/2/2/1 for me. Are you sure 4/1/1/1 is possible?

[@ArsenalPass]

I thought it was possible just more likely to get the 2/2/2/1, but I think not. I just scoured through box opening videos to confirm, and saw only 2/2/2/1. Will pin a post to clarify this. I think it actually helps with the signal reading even more. Thanks for the heads up! - Hayden
