Quickdraft nerf?

[Nubbles]

Did quickdrafts get nerfed for completing new sets? I have not been passed any rares yet by the bots.

As far as I know quick bots are "trained" by how players pick in Premier drafts. That's ostensibly why it is always 2 weeks later than the set arrival. If the set has a ton of bomb rares you are not likely to be passed them in quick draft. At least that's the theory.

So what, you are always last at picking? That cannot possibly be true.

You know how draft works, right?

8 players, sat round a table. Everyone opens a pack. Then everyone takes a card & passes the rest to the left. Continue until all cards have been picked.

You get first pick once per pack. After that you get whatever is passed to you, until the whole pack is gone. Then you open a new pack & you get first pick again.

You get 45 picks in a draft; only 3 of those are first pick. the rest are packs that have been passed to you by other players. Every player in the draft is in the same position, & gets the same number of first picks.

I got a lot, but passed on so many just to stick to my archetype. Quickdraft is best in my opinion, packs in draft are probably the most random things in the game. I have had some great drafts and drafts that just plain suck. The bot usually leaves the rares for a couple turns and eats a lot of uncommon, which can really suck if you need them. I got rares in the last pick before in quickdraft pretty funny.

If you want rares just do the expensive version.
Gem reward ratio is better, you get more packs and people tend to pass rares that are off colour.

I just finished some quick draft games to get enough gems for the mastery pass, i think about 8 drafts.

I only got passed an extra rare or mythic card on two separate occasions so far by the bots for this set :

The Millennium Calendar and Deeproot Pilgrimage.

I believe that's because they are almost unplayable and would almost always be passed many times in premium over decent uncommon and commons.

I think this is a lot worse then normal as in many previous sets i was able to quite consistently get 6 rares / mythic on quick drafts.
