Welcome to my final episode of No Rares Required. Thank you to all who have followed this series throughout the years. I have learned a lot about draft and I hope you have as well. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week I cover the last archetype for Outlaws of Thunder Junction: Gruul. The theme for Gruul (red-green) in OTJ is 'Power 4+'. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)

Welcome to my Draft Guide for Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week I cover the last two archetypes: Boros and Gruul. The theme for Boros (red-white) in OTJ is 'Mercenary Aggro'. In this episode I go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)

Welcome to my Draft Guide for Outlaws of Thunder Junction. This weekly podcast dives deep into each archetype and this week Azorius had the 2nd number of votes. The theme for Azorius (white-blue) in OTJ is 'Take a Break'. The idea being to take a break on your turn and cast spells on your opponent's turn. And it has been a bit hit-and-miss. There are a couple great payoffs for taking a break but there are traps as well. As with most blue strategies outside of Simic (which is really a green strategy anyway), I've had the most success treating it as a spellslinger archetype with a low creature count. Focus on flyers and out tempoing your opponent with disruption from blue. In this episode I also go over the top performing cards, what traps to avoid, and when to take certain cards during a draft. Enjoy :)
