Draft Mode Changes
Draft mode has received significant improvements to create a more balanced and competitive experience:
Tailored Card Pool - Certain cards are now banned from appearing in Draft, while others from the Reserve pool are specifically included. This allows us to balance Draft independently from constructed play.
New Draft Matchmaking - Draft now uses its own hidden MMR (Elo-based rating), completely separate from constructed matchmaking. Previously, Draft only matched players by win/loss record. This new system ensures fairer matches, though it may take a few weeks to fully settle.
