I finally got to draft Dominaria last night. I've been trying to draft this set for weeks, but plans kept changing, so I kept having to miss it.
I didn't really have a good grasp on what's in the set ahead of time, except that Domain was a keyword. That's both a good and a bad thing. It's good because it's easier to go 5-colors, but it can be a bit bad if it's too easy.
The draft went about as you'd expect. I got tons of the tapped duals. A lot of rares came around, so I took them. (Caves of Koilos went really late!) I think someone else was drafting Domain (there were 5 drafters) so I missed out on a lot of Domain cards.
What I ran. Only seven basics!I built my deck a bit hastily and I never made modifications, which was probably a mistake. I think I needed a few more creatures. I went 1-2, but as usual I still had a blast. Some notes for the future:
- I don't think I need to grab the lands quite as quickly as I did. It was great to have 10, but 8 or 9 probably would have been okay. I'm not sure how many of them would have wheeled.
- It's great to take anything with different-colored kickers and not be afraid of being able to use it.
- I lived the dream and cast Yavimaya Sojourner on turn 3 in one game!
- I don't think I would bother with Salvaged Manaworker in the future. Unless I didn't get enough lands.
I really hope I get the chance to try this format again before things rotate!
